New Agenda on Sunday. is out! Edition of 09 July 2017

Good morning everyone

Another "G" something or other conference, this time in Hamburg. Nothing but a very expensive "Jolly" for a lot of people who will spend hours spouting hot air and more hours quaffing lots of very expensive alcohol ( or passion fruit juice for the few who don't drink) and gorging gourmand food with at least four courses. Not from the local Food bank I understand.

Nothing has ever emerged from these G something or other "summits" except some egotistical "politicians" with sore throats, increased waist lines and a few extra pounds showing on their bathroom scales.

Jacob William Rees-Mogg is tipped to become the next leader of the Conservative party and unless there is a General election, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

The birth of the new baby son, Sixtus Dominic Boniface Christopher, brings the number of the Rees-Mogg children to six.
It is difficult to see how Rees-Mogg would have the time or even the energy to run a political party let alone a country.

The fall out from the governments refusal to remove the 1% cap on Public Sector pay rumbles on.

This week, Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson, a cunning and conniving opportunist, who harbours a burning desire to be the leader of the Conservative party and, as circumstances exist at this time, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, emerges from the shadows, like some present day Brutus in the senate, to join Michael Gove, Jeremy Hunt and Justine Greening and plunge his little dagger into Theresa May, while calling for the 1% ceiling on wage rises to be lifted for "austerity-weary workers" including nurses and teachers.

Meanwhile, back in Jersey.

I have been writing about historic child abuse in Jersey for over ten years and have consistently argued that Stuart Syvret was right and that he was persecuted by the Jersey "establishment", in their attempts to conceal and cover up the scandal. The findings of the report and the evidence leading to the conclusions, vindicates former Senator Stuart Syvret who first voiced concerns in respect of child abuse and "cultural problems" within the States back in 2007, as a result of information passed to him by "whistle blowers", witnesses and victims. Likewise, Lenny Harper the first Police officer brought in to investigate the case, was "stitched up" by those same "establishment" people and fired when he came too close to the truth.
The publication of the "Independent Jersey Care Inquiry" by Frances Oldham QC, is not the end of this story, but it certainly marks the beginning of the end. Prosecutions and convictions must surely come soon.

The first week of "Wimbledon 2017" ends with British interests still in evidence. Murray of course and the new bookies favourite for the Ladies Title, Johanna Konta, who becomes the first Brit to reach the last 16 for many years. We must hope that this is not just another case of the media "hyping up the Brit" in order to do a hatchet job in a few days time.

I understand that there are still strawberries and cream available for those who can afford them.

The weather forecasters say that the, "Can't sleep unless the fan is on, can't sleep because the fan makes too much noise", nights are over, at least for the time being, as a cold front is drifting down from the North, which will make everything "fresher". With my usual faith and confidence in what our seaweed watching fraternity tell us on the hour every day, I look forward to returning to my usual five hours every night routine.

Have a nice week

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...

The writing on the wall

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/boris-johnson-government-zero-hour-contract-ban-latest-a9257281.html?fbclid=IwAR0OW6qhoVnO9MVH-E9ruKFLnL_V3NQ5PMpYEkGGHEXskJxkAsrr2UJjRIs Two-thirds of voters want Boris Johnson ‘s government to ban zero-hours contracts, a poll has found. There will be many people over the coming months and years who will tell the "pollsters" that something should be done about the homeless, or the costs of electric, gas and water, or about the costs of public transport, or the failing (and privatised) NHS, or the excessive profits and tax avoidance of large corporations. etc. To all those I say, that if you did not vote Labour then you have only yourselves to blame and you must bear the consequences of your actions. Johnson a nd his sycophant cronies have been given a blank cheque to do as they please and sell off vast portions of the British economy to the Americans, (the takeover of British defence giant Cobham by a US private equi...

Greed and envy are good says Boris Johnson.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/embrace-culture-of-greed-says-boris-johnson-8968276.html Embrace culture of greed, says Boris Johnson Boris Johnson. "I stress – I don't believe that economic equality is possible; indeed some measure of inequality is essential for the spirit of envy and keeping up with the Joneses that is, like greed, a valuable spur to economic activity." Johnson delivering the annual Margaret Thatcher lecture at the Centre for Policy Studies think-tank, Wednesday 27th November 2013 Boris Johnson seeks to emulate Thatcher. He appeals to the evil side of the "nasty" party, for a society where greed is good, where selfishness is encouraged, where division amongst people by envy and status is championed as a proper objective and where the excesses of business and government are regarded as appropriate and right for the advancement of the few at the expense of the many. Johnson is an evil man with evil intent...
