New Agenda on Sunday is out:.Sunday, May. 26, 2019

Good morning everyone.

What a week!

Theresa May finally states her departure date with lots of tears and immediately practically everyone except Larry, the Downing Street cat, announces that they intend to stand for election to the post. Philip Green shuts 25 more stores then disappears into the sunset (if only), on his mates super yacht. The Express finds two new witnesses claiming that Dianna's death was not an accident. British Steel goes into liquidation. Donald Trump and John Bolton step up their efforts to drag us all into a war with Iran. Great Britain's entry in the Eurovision song contest is docked 5 points, but we still come last.Motor racing lost one of the great drivers, with the death of Niki Lauda at 70.

Lewis Hamilton takes another 25 points in winning the Monaco Grand Prix and extends his lead over team mate Valtteri Bottas, well on course for another drivers championship. Mercedes remain streets ahead in the constructors championship.

Niki Lauda (Andreas Nikolaus Lauda) F1 Champion 1975, 1977 and 1984 drove for both Ferrari and McLaren. Very badly injured in a high speed crash in 1976, given the last rites in hospital he was back racing after only 40 days and went on to win the 1997 F1 championship. In September 2012, he was appointed a non-executive director of the Mercedes F1 team, a decision made by the Mercedes board. Lauda played a key role in the signing of Lewis Hamilton to replace Schumacher at the end of 2012.

Niki Lauda one of the truly great F1 drivers, died in a Swiss clinic on Monday.

Regardless of who the Conservative party elect as their leader, he or she will as far as I am concerned, always be nothing more than the leader of the Conservative party. Without a General election, being anointed, again, as Prime Minister, is outrageous and strips away any legitimacy that the post should have both in his country and abroad. For just around 100,000 people to decide who is Prime Minister is an affront to democracy and a contemptible slight to 45 million people forming the electorate of this country. He or she will be leader of the Conservative party but they will never as far as I am concerned, be Prime Minister. I had the same criticisms of the anointing of Gordon Brown in 2007 and my views have not changed.

A General election must be called to restore credibility and legitimacy to the position of Prime Minister.

Theresa May's "legacy" is not one that she can be proud of.

Warm, cold, warm, cold. When are we going to have some summer?

Have a nice week.

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...

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.

Leave the clocks alone!

https://www.kentonline.co.uk/kent/news/did-you-remember-to-put-clocks-forward-224737/ Sanity returns!!! The clocks have gone forward by one hour and perhaps now I can get some proper sleep, and return to normal in numerous other areas which have been disrupted since 25th October 2020. That pesky little person who steals an hour from my sleep and disrupts my time/body clock for the next 6 months, should be confined to a secure location for ever. Never again should I and thousands like me be disrupted every year and for no apparent reason by an outdated and tenuous notion of "daylight saving". In fact we should probably put another hour at the start of the Summer and then stay on Double British Summer Time (DBST). for the duration. Message for pesky little person "LEAVE THE BLOODY CLOCKS ALONE!"
