RMS Titanic sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in the early morning of 15 April 1912, after colliding with an iceberg during her maiden voyage from Southampton, UK, to New York City, US. Around 1500 passengers and crew, were lost with the ship.

For those lost and those survivors who have since passed away. R I P

Sean Spicer
Donald Trump, that’s the President of the United States for anyone who had not heard of him yet, appointed a new Press Secretary to handle the media conferences in the White House and to be the interface between the press and the White House. It seems that the appointed person is another of Trump's less fortunate decisions with gaffes and goofs (and the odd untruth along the way), the new man is an embarrassment to everyone, not least of all to himself. There is not enough room in Spicer's mouth for another foot, and yet he finds enough space for more stupidity.
On top of his Hitler comments he reveals that the American goal is to destabilise Syria. Which we already knew, but it is comforting to have the Presidents spokesperson confirm the awful fact.
Come back Donald Rumsfeld, at least you were funny.

Boris has not had a very good week, First, he failed to get the rest of the G7 on board to impose additional sanctions on Russia and then at the UN he was again isolated (apart from the United States and France that is) in a similar quest and even Theresa May distanced herself from his remarks. John McDonnell added his observation saying that Boris Johnson is a liability for Britain.

McDonnell is being kind to the former "Have I got News for You" Chair and panellist
Boris Johnson is far more than a liability for Britain, he is an unmitigated disaster and should have remained with HIGNFY as the butt of Paul Merton's barbed humour.




Image result for tory election expenses scandal

The investigations into Conservative election expenses spending is now more than 12 months long and shows little sign of being resolved. This saga will drag on and on, being kicked into the long grass by an establishment and judiciary who do not wish to pursue the allegations of election "irregularities" against named conservative MP's . They fear that sitting MP's may be removed from office (or even worse) thus destroying the governments already slim majority.

Meanwhile, back in Jersey or perhaps more accurately at some point between Elizabeth Terminal St Helier and Poole Ferry port. Condor Liberation has engine problems. The fast ferry services to and from the UK and Guernsey have been disrupted over the bank holiday weekend after a fault with one of the Liberation’s engines. The problem was discovered on Friday night and led to a delayed arrival in Poole. Saturday’s sailing times then had to be amended to ensure that the crew got enough rest hours before starting work again. Those delays, which have been compounded by tides, were also due to affect sailings scheduled for Sunday and Monday. All sailings have been delayed by around five-and-a-half hours. Engine and other problems, every year since in went into service. Déjà vu.

Weather forecasting seems to be a very inexact science. The weather predictions vary according to which channel you choose to watch and even then which weather person is doing the forecast. Ten degree temperature variations from day to day, rain, sun, frost, fog and even snow and all within the space of 24 hours. I shall stick with my trusty piece of seaweed. Roll on summer.




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

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
