A 10 day break?

A nice hotel, but we were too ill to enjoy it.

We have just returned from 10 days at the Miramar hotel in Jersey. What was to have been a 10 day break after the trauma of the last four years, rather than a holiday in the sun, turned into a bit of a nightmare with first me and then Sandra, being struck with some mystery bug, complete with sore throat, coughing, vomiting chest pains etc which put certainly me out of action for the duration.
However, the kindness shown by Alison, the hotel manager, and the rest of the staff was truly refreshing as they went to great lengths to make us as comfortable as possible under the circumstances, with Alison occasionally "bending the rules" to assist with our stay.
We are now back in the village, still with the symptoms which did not respond to some sea air on the trip back, and now leaves us with an appointment to see our GP.
Thanks again to Alison and all those at the Miramar for their help, assistance and understanding.

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

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...

Workers face ban on striking .

Organisation and protests against the excesses of this Conservative government is essential. Should Harriet Harman suggest even partial support for Conservative policies, she is clearly in the wrong party.
