Good morning everyone.

What a week for David Cameron !

"Deep Throat" told Bob Woodward to "Follow the money".

Five days and five different story versions, culminating in a potted account of "the truth". Cameron says that he "should have handled this better", now there is a self evident truism. He then says "I know there are lessons to learn and I will learn them" when what he actually means is that from now on he will be better at it and he won't get caught again. It would be difficult for the Conservatives to select a new leader as all the possible contenders are "all in it together".

Matt Armstrong with a parking ticket he received

Matt Armstrong was slapped with an £110 fine by Lambeth Council

Lambeth Council painted a "Disabled Car parking bay" in the road outside Matt Armstrong's home. The bay had been requested some two years ago by Mr Armstrong's next door neighbor for a resident who had actually died earlier this year. The council workmen eventually arrived and overnight, painted the white markings in the road. Unfortunately, the markings were painted around Mr Armstrong's car! The following morning, along came the obligatory Traffic warden and slapped a Fixed Penalty notice for £110 on his windscreen. I assume that he told the Council to go to hell. Local authorities are notorious for employing too many jobs worth morons who have little else to do but to dream up more outrageous ways to rip off the public.
(The fixed penalty has since been rescinded)

biscuits will be delivered to retailers in the comings weeks

Meanwhile, back in Jersey.Some of the most popular biscuits have been absent from Jersey shops in recent months after floods forced the closure of the factory in Carlisle which supplies shops across Britain.The United Biscuits factory produces several well-known products, including custard creams, bourbon creams, McVities ginger nuts and Carr’s table water biscuits.Retailers Waitrose, the Co-op and Sandpiper CI stores replaced some products with alternatives to bridge the gap until the factory was reopened, but the Carlisle factory has now resumed production, and biscuits will be delivered to retailers in the comings weeks after being off the shelves since December.

It seems that the long awaited Chilcott Report will be subject to further delay as British spies will next week, begin the task of "vetting and editing" the text. The influence of Blair still prevails in this saga of prevarication and delay. Blair's "Spooks" crawling all over the draft report, deleting or even now amending the text to reflect Blair's version of "the truth", reeks of cover up and conspiracy.

Still no snow!

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.
