Sanity has returned !!

The mischief caused (to me at any rate) by the person or persons who sabotaged all the clocks last October, has been rectified and we are now back onto the correct time.
Clocks forward 1 hour!

F1 a television favourite of mine, is removed from my screen (apart from the British Grand Prix) by the greed and self interest of Ecclestone, and the "power" of Sky Television.
I totally refuse to put even more money into Murdoch's pocket by purchasing his "Sky Sports" packages (or any of the other packages) just to watch one series of events and will stick with "Freeview".
The spread of Sky television into all aspects of viewing is, I would suggest, depriving me and thousands of other people the pleasure of watching popular programmes as a consequence of the pure greed of the television company and various sports organisers. Some people will not buy Sky television as a matter of principle and others will not buy simply because they cannot afford it. The time may come when the only viewing on Freeview will be Tiddlywinks competitions or shopping channels. When that day comes, I will throw my television set into the recycle bin and go on line.

Meanwhile, back in Jersey.More problems for Condor (and those who sail with her), as fast ferries are cancelled for Saturday, Sunday and probably Monday and Tuesday. This time it is the weather. We can't blame Condor for wind and rain but perhaps they should have thought of that before spending £50 million on a new ship (well almost new, it had been "on the shelf in stock" with Austal for 2 years as nobody wanted to buy it), rather than invest in conventional ferries which will sail in wind and rain.

Nikki Morgan

Following her disastrous appearance on BBC Question Time, Nikki Morgan addressed the NASUWT Conference in Birmingham.
She has said that she does not want her children to be taught by teachers who are tired, stressed and working too many hours .
Presumably she is happy to have her children cared for by Junior Doctors who are tired, stressed and working too many hours.

Storm Katie has nearly reached the village. Wind. rain dustbins flying all over and the almost guaranteed power cuts. There seems to be no end to this weather. Its only March and we have already reached "K" is the alphabetic allocation of names for storms. 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

The Parliamentary Labour Party conspirators are hatching another coup.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/corbyn-labour-leadership-rebel-mps-a7202641.html Labour MPs plan for Corbyn victory and plot how to confront an emboldened leader Even for the "Independent", the number and use of unnamed anonymous "sources" in this article is quite astonishing. However, amongst all the usual speculative delusion, there is one factor which causes concern to anyone who believes in the Labour Party, its principles and in he democratic process of the Labour movement. It is abundantly clear that elements within the Parliamentary Labour Party, are even now, planning another coup in the event that Jeremy Corbyn should emerge as winner in the current ballot. The failed coup of earlier this year, has now descended into a sham leadership election, because the conspirators still fail to accept the democratic decision of the Labour party membership and cling to

Plemont development or return to nature?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-jersey- A date has been set for a public inquiry into plans for Plemont Headland. This exceptional location must be sold to the National trust for Jersey, and returned to nature. Any other outcome involving development of the site, can only demonstrate the extent to which greed and self interest have become endemic in Jersey.
