Agenda 2019

https://paper.li/f-1346065353#/ Good morning everyone Normal service is now resumed as I have re-established contact with the publisher and I am again receiving New Agenda on Sunday in my e-mail in box. It is certainly easier to hit the "forward" button than go through the agonies of the convoluted fix solution. SANITY HAS RETURNED !!! The time is now 06:32 (and that is in real money) on Sunday 26th March 2017. All we have to do is to convince those who are responsible for such things, to leave our clocks alone from now and forever more. Good morning all and have a nice day. Happy Birthday Vera Lynn . Dame Vera Margaret Lynn (née Welch; born 20 March 1917[1]), widely known as "the Forces' Sweetheart", is an English singer, songwriter and actress. Her musical recordings and performances were enormously popular during the Second World War. On 20 March 2017, Dame Vera celebrated her 100th birthday. In a fi...

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/mar/24/hosni-mubarak-returns-to-cairo-home-after-six-years-in-custody Egypt's toppled dictator freed after six years in custody Hosni Mubarak The final humiliation and betrayal for the Egyptian people as Hosni Mubarak is released from detention. Mubarak "close to death" 6 years ago The despotic puppet dictator, who since his arrest in 2011 has been "at deaths door", thus ensuring that his detention conditions have been quite comfortable in comparison to those of President Mohamed Morsi overthrown in a squalid coup de tat organised by General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi encouraged and supported by the United States of America. General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi  As the democratically elected President Morsi continues to languish in military custody on "death row" awaiting execution, Mubarak, the tyrant responsible for the deaths of hundreds if not more Egyptian protesters in Tahrir Square...

https://www.theguardian.com/education/2017/mar/22/jeremy-corbyn-theresa-may-tory-pledge-education-funding-cuts#comments Theresa May launched a personal tirade on the Labour front bench, and it was disgraceful.  May gets personal What a shabby, pathetic and shallow performance from a politician disguised as Prime Minister and who has no mandate from anyone in the country except for a handful of conservative party "Grandees", who are even more removed from reality than she herself is.  Against a background of the usual baying, ya boo hysteria from government benches, Jeremy Corbyn destroyed Theresa May and her pernicious education cuts. His questions exposed the hypocrisy and divisions amongst former  government ministers and backbench members as new proposals and consultations were revealed as nothing more than empty rhetoric,masquerading as conservative "Policy". Corbyn destroys May. Interesting that the media should be so preoccupied with internal...

https://paper.li/f-1346065353#/ Good morning everyone There seems to be a slight problem as the paper has not arrived in my in box again this week. However, I think that I have managed to repeat "a fix" and hopefully this e-mail will have New Agenda nailed to it. On the assumption that you may be able to read both this and the paper, we shall "K B O" as someone once said. Swing low, Sweet Chariot. Ireland 13pts England 9 pts. So ends the dream of back to back Grand Slams and the record of 19 straight test match wins to overtake the All Blacks record of 18 in a row. Ironically it was also the Irish who ended New Zealand's run of wins leaving England and the All Blacks level on 18 straight wins and England in second place in the World rankings table. At any other time, taking the 6 Nations Championship and the Calcutta Cup would be and is an achievement, but this year to miss the Triple Crown and the Grand Slam somehow make...

Ireland 13pts England 9 pts. So ends the dream of back to back Grand Slams and the record of 19 straight test match wins to overtake the All Blacks record of 18 in a row. Ironically it was also the Irish who ended New Zealand's run of wins leaving England and the All Blacks level on 18 straight wins and England in second place in the World rankings table. At any other time, taking the 6 Nations Championship and the Calcutta Cup would be and is an achievement, but this year to miss the Triple Crown and the Grand Slam somehow makes England's success in the competition seem a little hollow. It was a poor game, as were the other two matches, and England never managed to overcome the Irish "in your face" tactics which prevented any real exhibition of open play as show...

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/mar/15/the-guardian-view-on-the-budget-u-turn-a-climbdown-that-shows-where-power-lies A budget U Turn instigated by the Prime Minister and the "right wing" press. Humiliated Hammond defends tax U-turn A complete and utter humiliation and "U turn" for Hammond, (surely his future must now be numbered in days if not hours) brought about it seems by back bench conservative MP's organised by Theresa May actively encouraged by the media. On Sky television news last night during the newspaper preview item, "Stig" Abell, editor of The Times Literary Supplement, and previously the managing editor of the Sun newspaper, praised the role of the media in this "assassination" of Philip Hammond who only has been Chancellor since July of last year. Abell went on and with great relish, to state that this country has "the most right wing press" ever, a remarkably candid admission from a m...

On the assumption that you may be able to read both this and the paper, we shall "K B O" as someone once said. Swing low, Sweet Chariot. England 61 pts Scotland 21 pts. England are the 6 Nations Champions of 2017 and with one game to spare and took the Calcutta Cup with their best team performance of this years competition. Scotland were swept aside as England stormed to victory scoring seven tries in their 61 points total. Admittedly Scotland's game was littered with injuries, but even if that had not been the case, it is difficult to envisage any other result given the England passion and drive. Scotland were down to 14 after only two minutes of the game when their hoo...

http://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/brexit-bill-david-davis-tells-mps-to-reject-house-of-lords-changes-to-eu-exit-laws-a3487506.html David Davis tells MPs to reject House of Lords' changes to EU exit laws The Parliamentary Labour Party and the Labour party in the country must support the Lords amendments. The House of Lords amendment, guaranteeing the rights of EU citizens in the UK as part of Brexit Bill, quite rightly and properly, seeks to give Europeans who in many cases have been living and working in the United Kingdom for some years, contributing to the British economy, paying taxes and filling important and useful roles in society, a guarantee of their rights following Brexit. For Theresa May (and others) to give some vague assurances that these rights will be incorporated into the Brexit negotiations after Article 50 has been triggered, is simply not credible as we have heard such promises on many matters in the past, all of which have been discar...

England are the 6 Nations Champions of 2017 and with one game to spare and took the Calcutta Cup with their best team performance of this years competition.  Scotland were swept aside  as England stormed to victory scoring seven tries in their 61 points total. Admittedly Scotland's game was littered with injuries, but even if that had not been the case, it is difficult to envisage any other result given the England passion and drive. Scotland were down to 14 after only two minutes of the game when their hooker Fraser Brown was given 10 minutes in the sin bin for a late and dangerous tackle on Elliot Daly dumping the English wing on his back. Most of the crowd, the television commentators and I, felt that Brown was very fortunate th...

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/mar/11/world-faces-worst-humanitarian-crisis-since-1945-says-un-official World faces worst humanitarian crisis since 1945 How ironic it is that of the countries listed in this report, they rate amongst those ravaged by civil war or insurgency sponsored, encouraged and supported by the "western powers" with supplies of arms and ammunition to one side (and often to both sides of the conflicts), with logistical and "technical" support. The hypocrisy of "the west" is stunning when pouring the means of destruction into these and other countries of the area while at the same time bleating on through their UN Ambassadors of the need to address the "humanitarian crises" arising from their own intervention in the politics of the region. We have learned nothing over the last 70 years with the result that "the world faces the largest humanitarian crisis since the end of the second wo...

http://manze.co.uk/index.php?app=gbu0&ns=display&ref=splash Pie, mash and liqueur rediscovered Where I grew up I was brought up in London in a bock of flats in Peckham. Very near to the flats on the corner of the Old Kent Road, was a Pie 'n' Mash shop, almost next door to a Fish and Chip shop, so the young Yates was raised on a very healthy and very tasty diet. Traditional Pie 'n' Mash Another favourite As years passed living in various parts of the country and now living in Dorset, the pie, mash and liqueur meal was just a bit of nostalgia linked to London childhood. By pure accident, during a conversation with a practice nurse in our GP's surgery (she also originated in London), I was surprised to learn that Pie 'n' Mash could be delivered by courier, (along with eels steamed or jellied and other "extras") to any part of the country. She went on to say that she and her family and friends had regular "P...
