It is 28th January and the first month of the year has practically gone. 2018 promises to be another of those years where all 12 months seem somehow to be compressed into 6. Some scientists say that as we get older, time passes more quickly. I know what they mean.

A story in the Jersey Evening Post caught my eye this week. "The Snow Hill Fish and Chips Take Away" in St Helier, has consistently been in breech of the State of Jersey Food Safety laws. Apparently, this food outlet has been failing the compulsory inspections since 2014.If you happen to be in Jersey this year, this may well be a "chippy" to avoid. If it is so bad, why have the "Authorities" not just closed it?

It is rare indeed for the American legal system or the US International Trade Commission or any other "official" American body to rule against their own organisations and companies (especially Boeing) and in favour of companies from outside the United States borders.
This is one of those rare occasions, but it remains to be seen whether Boeing will appeal this decision to higher American Courts.However in the short term at least, Bombardier have achieved a significant victory and for now thousand of jobs in Northern Ireland and the rest of the United Kingdom appear to be safe.

Nadhim Zahawi is one, perhaps the only one, MP to emerge untouched by the events at the Presidents Gala this week. With his chequered past he is fast becoming the "Teflon Man" who once claimed 10p for a glue stick on his MP's Expenses form and has a £25 million prperty port folio.
In a comment straight from the old "News of the World" reporters, when he observed what was going on at the charity gala, he "made his excuses and left". Perhaps nothing was happening at the previous 7 Presidents Gala's that he has attended.

The Premiership of Theresa May is in terminal decline and rapidly approaching the end. Any credibility and authority that she may once if ever, have had, crumbles away almost by the hour, and her enemies within the cabinet and wider conservative party have not failed to recognise the
degradation. In much the same way as a pack of lionesses identify the weakest of a herd of Impala and then move in for the kill, conservative MP's are positioning themselves for a leadership challenge within weeks.

It has been raining for the past three days. It is predicted that there will be showers and wind into this week, but turning colder from Wednesday with a cold blast coming down from the Artic.
Strange that my seaweed is still showing "Fair".


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...

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 ...
