New Agenda on Sunday. is out! Edition of 1st April 2018

Good morning everyone

Welcome to April. One quarter of 2018 gone already. Time passes so quickly now and I have already seen advertising for Christmas Clubs. Incredible.

With everything that is going on in the world, in Syria, in Brussels, in Palestine, in Parliament and numerous other places, BBC News has the lead, most important story, devoted to another blubbering Aussie being interviewed about his part in the "ball tampering" scandal in South Africa.
The mind boggles.

Image result for johnson rebuked by speaker

Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson runs into the rough end of Speaker John Burcow' tongue after referring to Emily Thornberry as "Lady Nugee" (her husband is Sir Christopher Nugee). Another gaffe from the Buffoon Johnson, which this time warrants a strong rebuke from the Speaker. A justified ticking off which is long overdue.

There is clearly an "agenda" behind the current spate of media fuelled hysteria in connection with "anti semitism in the Labour party". It is acknowledged that there are a small number of individuals within the party who behave in a manner which can be described as anti semitic, but the leadership generally and Jeremy Corbyn in particular, have roundly condemned such behaviour and the culprits can be under no illusions as to the fact that antisemitism and racism in any form has no place within the Labour party. Corbyn has on numerous occasions, apologised for such behaviour within the party and condemned in unequivocal terms, antisemitism and racism in all its forms.

Meanwhile, back in Jersey, the iconic Corbiere lighthouse will be holding a new guest soon. The pre teen daughter of Amy's deranged former partner is being held in a haunted lighthouse and must be rescued! It is of course a psychological horror-thriller, currently touring cinema’s in the UK.shot in the summer of 2016 (presumably the day it did not rain) and coming to a cinema near you soon

Jersey could become one of the first places in the world to be served by fully electric commercial aircraft, airline easy Jet has said. I hope that they do not make them fully automatic and thus dispense with the pilot and flight crews.

It is still raining and has been for days. A washout Easter but enjoy your eggs.

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...

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 ...

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...
