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.

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.

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 ...
