A Budget for the few at the expense of the many

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/philip-hammonds-budget-snubs-nhs-9993422

A Budget of  “utter ­complacency, entirely out of touch with that reality of life for millions”.

A budget for the rich and powerful few at the expense of the many ordinary people.A budget which does nothing for the NHS, nothing for schools and education, nothing for housing or energy and no mention of Brexit. The iniquities and hardship caused by the conservative government drive for austerity continues and will become even more extreme over the coming months as cuts bite even deeper into peoples lives. A punishing budget where the self employed face increases to their National Insurance contributions, in direct contravention of the conservative government manifesto commitments.

Presiding over the complacency of this Chancellor and his woefully inadequate budget measures, sits the unelected Theresa May who seems absorbed with belief of her own self importance to the exclusion of all rational and logical thought. The grandees of her own party should be concerned with irrational behaviour and her future after her hysterical and sinister outburst of maniacal laughter earlier in the day.

This country and its people deserve better government than that which is currently in power. As media and political speculation grows for an early General election and the latest figures show that only 30% of the electorate would prefer the government to remain in place for the full term. The Labour party is the only alternative to this spiteful and deceitful government which is in power for the few at the expense of the many.

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 ...
