Not just another "couple having a row."

Boris Johnson's late night 'plate-smashing' bust-up with lover

Frankly, I don't give a damn (as they say) who the Conservatives  elect as their next leader. They can elect Jack the Ripper to lead them as far as I am concerned, but this Tory leadership election is different. They will be electing the next Prime Minister of this country. The holder of the highest position of State in the country should be "squeaky clean" in both their private lives as well as their public lives. However, Tweddle Dumber shows yet again how unfit he would be to become Prime Minister, as more allegations concerning his private life emerge in the media.

Screams of "get off me" and "get out of my flat" from partner Carrie Symonds, together with sounds of banging and breaking crockery were reported coming from M/s Symonds flat in the early hours of this morning and were recorded by a neighbour. At one point M/s Symonds is alleged to have shouted "You do not care, You are just spoilt". The police were called by a neighbour who was "concerned for the welfare of a female neighbour." It seems that this was more than just another couple "having a row" as one Tory MP tweeted. 

Domestic abuse and violence is a growing phenomenon in our society and we must ensure that we do not trivialise it or dismiss it as just having a row.  Who ever the conservative members elect as their leader, neither could be described as "squeaky clean"and the events of last Friday morning certainly indicate that at least one of them is not fit for the post of PM.

This whole sequence of events, is a compelling argument that the position of Prime Minister must carry the legitimacy of a general election, which will certainly not be the case with the next incumbent.

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 ...
