Good morning everybody.
What has been happening this week? Well, there was the Eurovision Song Contest which produced the usual collection of rubbish songs and the United Kingdom came last as is almost the norm for our performance. I did not watch any of this annual show as the contest came from Tel Aviv (but that is another story), but apart from the results section which is usually hilarious anyway I rarely if ever see the programme. The mystery remains however, that since when has Australia or Israel for that matter, been in Europe?
I quite enjoy red wine, but never in a restaurant or anywhere else, have I been served with a bottle of Chateau le Pin Pomerol 2001, (at £4500.00 per bottle) by mistake. I have had a few bottles of cheap tasting plonk poured into my glass by mistake, but never a very expensive Bordeaux. It seems that the member of staff responsible for the error however was told that management still loved them anyway. The diner who got the wine was not available for comment.
It now seems that the Bundestag has capitulated to the growing pressures from other quarters that anything remotely critical of Israel and its government is automatically antisemitic and must be condemned or even outlawed.
Filming for a new series of 1980s TV show Bergerac could begin in Jersey early next year.I shall be glued Gagarin. John Nettles is probably too old for the role now,but it will be interesting to see who is the new Jim.
The Prime Minister has finally lost it. After three previous attempts, she is now seeking to bring the Withdrawal Bill back for the fourth time. The only thing that has changed is the slogan which she attaches to "her deal", to frighten renegade Brexiteers into supporting her attempts to get the withdrawal agreement "over the line". She now uses the blatant threat that the choice is either her deal or no Brexit. A strange choice of words which may be construed as exactly what any Remainer MP's have actually have been striving for. No matter which solution the Prime Minister seeks to present to the Commons as a way to "deliver Brexit" the one fact remains which so far, nobody has resolved. That is the problem of the border between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Until such time, if ever, that a solution is found, it seems to me that we really have no alternative but to revoke Article 50 and remain in the EU
As I have argued before.A united Ireland is perhaps the best solution and probably the only solution to the "hard Brexit" Irish border problem.
Trump is threatening to "destroy" Iran again. John Bolton is busy winding up anyone who will listen to get in with this insanity. God protect us from Tweedle Dumb and Tweedle Dumber.
SHH. The sun is shining !
Have a nice week
