New Agenda on Sunday. is out. Sunday, May. 05, 2019

Good morning everyone.

A bright, mainly sunny Bank Holiday, invites all of us, well mainly all, down to the beach for a large ice cream with a flake in the top. As it happens, thousands of other people from the towns or other places all have the same idea so it might be a little crowded. It may be an idea to have the large cod and chips with mushy peas washed down with a very cold coke first, while you wait for the queue at the ice cream kiosk to go down a bit.

Labour should have gained seats at the local elections. As it happens we had a net loss of 82 seats but gained 6 councils.

Not a very good night for the Labour party, but not the "drubbing" that the media are trying to spin it into.

Tom Watson has clearly crossed the line with this latest attention seeking tantrum. Watson who has been associated with the usual suspects who have been trying to dislodge Jeremy Corbyn since he was first elected to the leadership, has become more erratic over recent months and now "storms out of a meeting". He is out of control and should immediately be sacked. He is just a disruptive figure in the Shadow Cabinet and still holds his own leadership ambitions. He should be sacked before he causes even greater damage.

I shall require a great deal of convincing that the economic collapse in Venezuela and the present conditions, have nothing to do with the crippling and punitive economic sanctions applied by the United States. The sanctions were applied because the Americans did not like the political system of Venezuela and because they wish to bring about regime change. The action of the United States against Venezuela have crippled the country and brought great hardship to the people. The bully boy USA seems to have triumphed

again. Shame on America and those who support their actions.

Express Reporting that BBC WEATHER presenter Carol Kirkwood forecast “wintry showers” for parts of the UK on Bank Holiday Monday, with temperatures “below par” for the time of year. It is not snowing yet so enjoy the fish, chips and mushy peas followed by the ice cream.

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 ...
