New Agenda on Sunday. is out! Edition of 17th September 2017

Good morning everyone.

I have tried, but Jenna Coleman and Tom Hughes are just not credible as the characters they are supposed to be portraying. She is by far too pretty, pleasant and "nice" to be acceptable as the woman who was Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and later became Empress of India. He on the other hand wanders around the (not very convincing) sets gruffly mumbling in a (not very convincing) German accent, looking puzzled rather than a man seeking to be master in his own home. Compare these two performances with those of Robert Hardy and Annette Crosbie portraying the same characters in the brilliant television series "Edward the Seventh" from a few years past. I refer of course to "Victoria", the second series of which is now on every Sunday evening. I wonder if this serial will run right through events ending in January 1901? If so, they need to get the historical accuracy and chronology better than they have so far.

Image result for Theresa May and Boris Johnson

Boris Johnson is bidding for the leadership of the Conservative party. no matter how often he or his cronies deny it. His latest 4000 word article in the Daily Telegraph outling his "Brexit Plan", sparked outrage in some parts of the Conservative party demanding that Theresa May should sack the Foreign Secretary immediately. The other half of the conservative party jumped to the defence of the blond bruiser, screaming that Boris is right and that May is too weak to remain as leader. Can the United Kingdom really afford to have a bunch of squabling egoists running the country at this momentus time in our history? Personally, I preferred Johnson as Chair or pannelist on "Have I Got News for You.

Theresa May's sordid backroom deal with the DUP requires Parliamentary approval. Those Tories who were opposed to the shabby ploy will now have to face the reality of either sticking with their profound objections to being in bed with the DUP, or ditch their principles and support their Prime Minister.

There seems to be a bit of a flaw in the character of Sebastian Vettel. After his outrageous tactic of driving into the rear and then the side of Lewis Hamilton's

Mercedes when the safety car was deployed in the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku in June, he had a bad start from pole position in the Singapore Grand Prix and going into the first bend squeezed Verstappen one of the Red Bull and team mate Raikkonen, in the other Ferrari, causing all three to go out of the race in a spectacular shunt. Again the FIA stewards found that it was a racing incident and no further action would be taken. In Baku, Vettel was handed a 10 second penaly which had no effect at all on the final placings. It seems that Vettel and Ferrari can do nothing wrong in the eyes of FIA. Hopefully, Vettel will calm down before he does some serious damage.

US WARNS OF MILITARY OPTION IF NORTH KOREA NUCLEAR AND MISSILE TESTS CONTINUE

There comes a point in time, when threat, becomes no more than repetative empty blustering verging on the point of farcical absurdity.The United States is churning out the cliche and rhetoric, in the knowledge that the "military option" would be a disaster leading to a catasrophe not seen since the end of WW2.

It has become wet and cold over the past week with the Daily Star predicting "Polar chill to savage UK with SNOW, frost and hail. There is a chance of further snow flurries over the weekend". Oh dear. Thermal underware time has arrived

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
