Tony Blair launches most critical attack yet on Jeremy Corbyn over Brexit.

Why, or even how, is Tony Blair still a member of the Labour party? Good party members have been suspended or even expelled from the party for doing or saying less than this former Prime Minister continues to preach to any newspaper or television outlet prepared to give him time and space. In yet another of his never ending interventions in the press this time the Observer followed by an interview with Sophy Ridge on Sky television, he grudgingly concedes that he will vote Labour in the European elections on 23 May, but then goes on to urge Labour supporters put off by the party's "equivocation" to vote for one of the "unequivocal Remain parties" - the Lib Dems, Change UK, Greens, Scottish National Party or Plaid Cymru. He rounds off the extraordinary intervention with his usual attack on Jeremy Corbyn, which of course the Observer and Sky News particularly are always keen to emphasise. Some Labour party MP's will of course, welcome another broadside against Corbyn and some Labour party members will also be lapping up more messages from the man many regard as their messiah. However there are those who recognise and remember the damage that Blair and his small cabal did to the Labour party and find his endless exposure in the press and in the media, as just fodder for those who wish for a return to the "good old days" of Blair, Mandelson, Campbell and Brown.
He should be suspended at least if not expelled as he is bringing the Labour party into disrepute.

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 .

http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/jul/15/trade-unions-conservative-offensive-decades-strikes-labour?CMP=share_btn_fb     Tories launch biggest crackdown on trade unions for 30 years         The Labour party must oppose the continuing assault on ordinary people in this country. 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!"
