Sky News, BBC News Channel and the Guardian,all blame Jeremy Corbyn.




Labour could 'bust apart and disappear', warns Owen Smith.


Owen Smith



Last night, (3rd August 2016), on the Sky News Paper Review at 10:30, and at the same time on BBC News Channel, this article by Rowena Mason, was one of the items selected for comment. On the BBC, Clive Myrie, the BBC "presenter" of the biased viewpoint and patronising manor, was joined by Kate Devlin (of the Herald) and Tony Evans,(of the London Evening Standard) two instantly forgettable "journalists", no doubt selected by the BBC to fill this slot probably more for their political persuasion than for any balance that they may offer in their reviews.

On Sky News it was a broadly similar set up, where Ian Dale the LBC presenter, was joined on the sofa by Jacqui Smith, former Home Secretary in Gordon Brown's government with the giggly Anna Botting providing leading comments and tenuous links between stories, to set the scene for the reviewers to launch into their "take" on the next item.


Anna Botting









With the Rowena Mason story, (the Guardian Deputy Political editor, with whom I have taken issue on numerous occasions), both Sky News and BBC News Channel had a common demeanour, where both reviewers and presenters were able within a few short sentences, to convert an article predominately about Owen Smith's fears of a Labour Part split, into an all out attack on Jeremy Corbyn and his leadership.

It seems that the present turmoil within the Labour party is, according to this assembled group of experts, entirely the fault of Jeremy Corbyn. The divisions within the party and between factions of the Parliamentary Labour Party, the PLP, and the party membership has been brought about by Corbyn's intransigence and his refusal to stand down from the leadership, (in the face of threat and intimidation from elements within the PLP. Perhaps not the phraseology that the reviewers would have chosen, but which never the less is exactly what has and is, still happening.)












There was no mention of the coup and the synchronised mass resignations, which are in themselves divisive, nor of the vote of confidence, intended to drive wedges between members and between elements of the PLP and designed to isolate Corbyn and any support within MP's that he may hold. There was no mention of the constant daily drip of smear or rumour in the media orchestrated and emanating from the conspirators within the PLP and the effect that this subversive activity is having upon the unity of the Labour party.

No. Everything and they were very emphatic about it being everything, was Jeremy Corbyn's fault and only Owen Smith, at least according to the former Home Secretary, would be able to hold the party together and she stated her full support for Smith in his campaign for the leadership, which hardly came as a surprise.
There is something quite sinister in the way in which media and selected guests are able to perpetuate such hostility and unfounded allegations against a man who attracted almost 250,000 votes in the leadership ballot of less than 12 months ago and at this stage seems likely to win this current leadership ballot also.

It is not Jeremy Corbyn who is likely to split the Labour party despite what the BBC New Channel and Sky News would have us believe. It is the continuing campaign of the 172 plotters who refuse to accept a democratic decision and have a misguided and arrogant view that it is only they who know the real situation and that everyone else should bow to their superior position, who will bring about a split greater than that of the 1980's.

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

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
