New Agenda on Sunday is out. Edition of 09 April 2017





Good morning everyone

It seems that the "gremlin" has returned as I have not received "New Agenda on Sunday" in my e=mail box. Consequently. I have had to resort to the fix that I was using a couple of weeks back when the same problem occurred. Hope it still works.

I note with disgust, that both Marks & Spencer and Sainsbury (to name but two) have dropped the word "Easter" from their egg ranges.
Now I am not a particularly religious person, but I will not be dictated to, instructed by, or otherwise taught how to behave by a bunch of self appointed, impertinent, PC brigade meddlers, who seem to have too much time on their hands and little else to do.I
shall continue to use the word "Easter" as I will continue to use the word "Christmas" at the appropriate time. Anyone who disagrees with that can get ........and go to ......
Happy Easter everyone !!.

A group of schoolchildren were spotted beneath the cliffs at West Bay despite repeated warnings about the dangers of potential rockfalls. A 20-strong group, including adults, were seen taking measurements and examining rocks, apparently on a school field trip, they even stopped for lunch on the rocks.!
People have been killed in rockfalls at this spot. and yet children are encouraged to work beneath the cliff face. Sheer lunacy.

Image result for Syria airstrikes: US targets airfield in first direct military action against Assad


Since early 2013, the American government closely followed by the United Kingdom government and with the French governments padding along at their heels like some well rained and obedient poodle, have been desperately seeking some justification, no matter how tenuous, to become involved in the Syrian Civil war. In this odious quest, they have been enthusiastically encouraged and supported by a media and television machine, frantically baying for the removal of Bashar al Assad and the Damascus government.

Timothy Peter Pigott-Smith OBE May 1946 – 7 April 2017 an English film and television actor and author.
I remember Pigott-Smith mainly for his brief appearance in Downton Abbey as Sir Philip Tapsell attending Sybil Branson in childbirth, and then as Brigadier Timothy Wilson in Foyles war.
In a career spanning many years in film and television, he was eventually recognised as one of the United Kingdom's great actors.

After a few days of record temperatures, the weather forecasters are now predicting a return of a cold front for next week. Astonishingly, one of them was even forecasting snow! Fortunately, I have not put the De Longhi's back into the garage yet.

Have a nice week
John

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe...

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...

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 ...
