Good morning everyone.


Image result for nhs cuts


It is not until you spend some time in hospital that you realise how bad things in the NHS have actually become.The Mirror report deals only with the tip of the iceberg concerning staff levels, and there is no doubt that shortages of staff are common and widespread throughout the NHS. Certainly this is the case in Dorchester NHS Trust. It is not however a problem in staffing levels alone. There is a shortage of everything and I mean every thing, Medicines, medical equipment, ointments, and other what should be essential supplies have either not been ordered or are not available due to "savings" in expenditure.
At one stage male disposable urine bottles were being reused at least twice, as replacements had not been ordered "in order to save money.
The Tory government wit its drive for austerity and cuts is killing our NHS. Soon they may even be killing patients if they have not done so already. 



The great Litton Cheney Duck Race (every Easter Sunday ) is over for another year. Many people watching and many ducks sold. We did not buy a duck this year, We are still waiting for the one we bought three years ago to actually finish the course and arrive at the pub finish line.

Tom Watson again weighs in with another unwanted and unnecessary intervention, this time on the so called "second referendum". Each time Watson chips in with a comment it is clear that his motivation is more concerned with personal ambitions regarding the leadership rather than the promotion of party unity. Watson you may recall, was a prime mover in the bids to oust Jeremy Corbyn as leader in 2016/17.
Perhaps his real motives have not changed since then. Only the tactics are different.

As Chamberlain sent the commons on holiday in 1939, May allows today's commons to have an Easter holiday this year.
Chamberlain missed the signing of the Treaty of Non-aggression between Germany and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics on 23rd August allowing the Germans a free hand to invade Poland on the 1st September. history will record what Theresa May has missed

Tories are not the only ones who think that HS2 should be scrapped as a complete waste of money, and too destructive on homes and communities. We should be building more homes rather than destroying homes, villages and whole communities to make way for a railway, the construction of which will make great deal of money for the builders and speculators.

When will people learn that there is no such thing as the "Special Relationship". It is a myth which exists only in the minds of a few self deluding politicians and in a few sections of the media. The United States remains "friends" with the UK only when it suits United States interests and if necessary the US would drop the United Kingdom like hot bricks if they considered it expedient to do so.
As Clinton reportedly once told Blair, "The only special relationship is that which exists between the United States and Israel, and between the United States and Ireland".
The sooner that people realise this simple fact the better.


Warm over Easter, getting "cooler" mid week. I hope that was not our 2019 summer !

Have a nice week.

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...

New Agenda on Sunday is out Sunday, Apr. 28, 2019

https://paper.li/f-1346065353#/ Good morning everyone. Last weeks scare regarding Megan and Harry being sent to live "somewhere in Africa" seems to have been dispelled, at least for the time being. It now seems that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will take up residence in California.  Unless  they are actually  doing  some proper work in "The Golden State", I hope that they are taken off the civil list so that we do not have to fund their life choice. The nauseating Daily Mail is at it again. A headline this week, which I will not even bother to reproduce here, screams out in disgusting and repulsive bias without any acknowledgement to the factual basis of their "story". Spewing out their usual smears and embellished distortions about Hamas, the IRA, Hezbollah and the rest, the Mail condemns itself with ample justification, for the closure of a "newspaper," which again abuses 10 fold, the privilege of "freedom of t...

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 ...
