Not a snub to the Queen.

A "newspaper" which abuses Freedom of the Press.

The nauseating Daily Mail is at it again. Today's headline 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 the press" and the right to free speech. Not for the first time, and probably not the last unless they are stopped, the Mail provides a rationale for those who argue that when the media, abuse their powers and position within society, they forfeit the rights associated with a free press. There is a vast difference between reporting, even brutally, that which is true and reporting no more than distortion, lies and embellished innuendo, to promote a political bias. What the Mail glaringly omits from its narrative of course, is the fact that a number of other politicians have also refused the invitation to attend the invitation the State Banquet for Trump in June. The invitation has been declined not as a "snub" to the Queen but as a direct statement to Trump, the racist, hypocrite and misogynist, who has lied and deceived his way around the world from Korea to Israel and Mexico to Venezuela. This view of Trump is clearly shared by many who have already declined the invitation and thousands who have not been invited. Trump is a dangerous two faced liar. It should not come as any surprise that the Daily Mail should endorse him and his visit. Trump is not welcome in this country. The Mail is not welcome as a newspaper on the shelves of our newsagents, or on the internet.

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 baby. How will the royal baby look as he grows up? Now the latest absurdity, this time f

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".

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
