It is Parliament that runs Britain, not Boris Johnson and his cronies.

"Who runs this country?'

I rarely use the Mail (or Fail) as a source, but today they scream an hysterical and outrageous (again) headline, "Who runs this country?': Boris Johnson's allies blast 'constitutional coup'.

Well DMG Media, Daily Mail and General Trust and editor Geordie Greig, the answer is a simple one. For the benefit of the tendentious employees and owners of this rag, and the mindless individuals who actually read this prime example of gutter press. (including "Boris Johnson's allies"),  the Supreme Court have upheld the centuries old reality, that it is the House of Commons and Parliament that runs the country. It is not the Executive or even the Prime Minister, but Parliament. What happened yesterday was not a 'constitutional coup' but a statement of fact, confirming that the Executive is answerable to the law and cannot  close down the Parliamentary process at the whim of the Prime Minister.

This outcome may be unpalatable to some, particularly the Prime Minister and many of the executive and certainly to the Mail and other rags of that ilk, but it is the reality.

We must never allow the excesses of the executive to usurp the people of this country as expressed in the House of Commons and Parliamentary democracy.

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 ...
