Theresa May to tell Tories it's time for  infighting to cease

This Conservative Party Conference 2017 will be  memorable, (but only for a few short weeks), for being the most boring and  repetitive Conservative Conference since records began.

What should be a catalogue of policy options and visions for the future, has become and promises to remain for the much heralded Theresa May keynote speech scheduled for later today (Wednesday) the last day of the conference. This conference has consisted of no more than 20% "policy" proposals and 80% unashamed attack on the Labour party generally and on Jeremy Corbyn in particular. 

A procession of Ministers, Priti Patel, David Davis, David Gauke, Philip Hammond, Boris Johnson and others have wasted their own and the British public's time with speeches woefully low on their record and proposals for the future, but tediously long on how bad the Labour Party is and how they, led by Corbyn (who Johnson would like to "blast into space") will turn this country into another Venezuela or Cuba, and other preposterous remarks which impressed nobody except the inane audience which actually managed to find the comments amusing.

In order to maintain at least a semblance of balance, representatives from the Constituency Associations and other organisations were called to speak, but in keeping with the example set by the MP's continued with the theme of spending most of their allocated time in attacking Jeremy Corbyn with personal abuse and smear. No doubt today's speeches, culminating with the contribution from Theresa May, will continue this assault and will presumably be met with the obligatory standing ovation, though God only knows why.

A number of television commentators have remarked how boring this conference has been and how policy has been abandoned for attacks on Labour. This point of view has been repeated in the press and no doubt in pubs, clubs and other places around the United Kingdom where people discuss these things.

Fear of the Labour party has overwhelmed the conservatives and it is glaring obvious from the performance at their conference.

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.
