Good morning everyone.

Sir Ollie



Oliver Letwin, my MP in West Dorset, went to Windsor Castle this week and knelt in front of ma'am” as in “ham”, (and not “ma'am” as in “farm”) as she tapped him on the shoulder and said arise Sir Ollie, or something like that. This is the same "Ollie" who who describes the campaign to save the SCBU, Kingfisher and maternity wards at Dorchester County Hospital as a "politically motivated bandwagon", which would be "entirely irresponsible," for him "to promote or join". Meanwhile, in another part of Sir Ollie's constituency, members of the Bridport and District branch of the Labour party have been working to help refugees in Calais. €1,000 of the funds "Lyme Left" raised, bought 2 pallets of long life milk for Calais Kitchens. They went in cold food packs which went out to camp residents.

£700 for the "Cupboard Love" food bank




 In Bridport, "We Shall Overcome", raised nearly £700 for the "Cupboard Love" food bank, supporting around 60 people in the town at time, by providing food and essential items.
Perhaps "Sir Ollie" would also describe these two examples (amongst many others in Dorset) of people reaching out to assist others as "politically motivated bandwagons".

Steel for Trident coming from France


It seems that the steel for the Trident replacement submarines will be purchased from France.
WHY???If we are going to spend £billions on replacing Trident (and I am not convinced that we should in any case) the government and those who support the renewal programme, should at least purchase the parts and materials from sources within the United Kingdom rather than betray British workers, again, and British companies by placing contracts from abroad.

50 years ago, a coal slag heap collapsed and buried the Pantglas Junior School, some terraced cottages and a farm in just five minutes. 116 children and 28 adults were killed in the disaster. Miners from all around the United Kingdom went to Aberfan to help with the rescue and recovery work,



It is getting colder and the De-Longhi heaters are now in place and ready for action.

Have a nice week

Enough of this hysterical nonsense

  http://style.uk.msn.com/royal-baby/how-will-the-royal-baby-look-as-he-grows-up Media generated hysteria.                           This is too much. For the last 36 hours (thought it seems more like 36 days) there has been wall to wall news coverage, media and television comment and reporting, with Sky News taking first prize for frenzied minute by minute reporting from the Palace, the hospital, from a village somewhere in England, from the studio and anywhere else that Burley, Botting and company could stick a microphone into some obscure "celebrity's" face and ask for yet another banal quote. All this galvanising the mass hysteria of some elements of the public, (who the media would have you believe is the reaction of "the whole world",) with their flag waving, dancing, singing and cheering over what is after all, no more than a woman having a bab...

New Agenda on Sunday is out Sunday, Apr. 28, 2019

https://paper.li/f-1346065353#/ Good morning everyone. Last weeks scare regarding Megan and Harry being sent to live "somewhere in Africa" seems to have been dispelled, at least for the time being. It now seems that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will take up residence in California.  Unless  they are actually  doing  some proper work in "The Golden State", I hope that they are taken off the civil list so that we do not have to fund their life choice. The nauseating Daily Mail is at it again. A headline this week, which I will not even bother to reproduce here, screams out in disgusting and repulsive bias without any acknowledgement to the factual basis of their "story". Spewing out their usual smears and embellished distortions about Hamas, the IRA, Hezbollah and the rest, the Mail condemns itself with ample justification, for the closure of a "newspaper," which again abuses 10 fold, the privilege of "freedom of t...

A perverse and rather sinister media obsession to discredit, smear and undermine Jeremy Corbyn

http://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/venezuela-jeremy-corbyn-blasted-for-not-condemning-president-maduro-a3606156.html#commentsDiv Venezuela: Jeremy Corbyn blasted for not condemning socialist President Nicolas Maduro as violent conflict escalates There is a perverse and rather sinister obsesseion with the media and particularly television "interveiwers", in seeking to secure from Jeremy Corbyn a "condemnation" of some person or organisation or event. This time it is connected with events in Venezuela and the actions of President Nicolas Maduro and the bloody crackdown on protests against the result of last weeks poll which inaugurated a constituent assembly . The media "stories" and the interrogation by the television interviewers, are as subtle as a sledgehammer being nothing more than a variation on the "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" question, which so many repoters use in order for them to make themselves appear very ...
