Congratulations to Lewis Hamilton who has taken his fourth F1 world title (it should have been his fifth but for some skulduggery a few seasons back) to
become the UK's most successful Formula 1 driver ever, ahead of Stewart, Clark, Hill and Mansel. Like him or loathe him, he is a great driver who in my opinion stands with Fangio, Prost and Senna.(I still do not rate Schumacher as a "great" driver). Again congratulations to Hamilton who takes the title with 2 races still remaining.

The mystery surrounding the assassination of J F Kennedy remains even after more than 50 years.
I have always held the view that any enquiry or report which raises more questions than it provides answers or explanations, has to be suspect and taken with a large pinch of salt. Thus it was with the Warren Commission Report, presented to President L B Johnson on the 24th September 1964, less than 12 months after the events in Dallas in the previous November when President J F Kennedy was assassinated. The same criticism can be levelled at practically every report, enquiry, congressional review or other examination of those events of November 22nd 1963 which invariably conclude that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the assassination and that there was no conspiracy.

Meanwhile, back in Jersey (well Poole actually but the facts are the same), Condor "Liberation" is out of action again and will not be seen on the high seas until sometime in November. Austal Shipbuilders in Henderson, Australia certainly saw Condor coming when they finally got rid of this ship for £50 million. (It had been "on the shelf" for four years).
From its maiden voyage in 2015 "Liberation" has had a catalogue of failures and breakdowns.much to the irritation and even anger of Channel Island residents and tourist passengers alike. The ship should be scrapped and replaced as people have been arguing, but Condor and the States do not take any notice. Now why is that?

I am still waiting for all that snow and ice which the Express promised last week. The thermals are ready as are the heaters and food supplies for the first signs of the white stuff falling from the sky. Could it be that the Express was indulging in a little bit of exaggeration?


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...
