New Agenda on Sunday. is out! Edition of 11th February 2018

Good morning everyone

Swing low, sweet chariot.

England 12 points Wales 6 points.

A rain drenched Twickenham saw England run out eventual winners against an injury depleted Wales side full of determination and effort, as usual, but certainly missing the kicking skills of Leigh Halfpenny. Two first half tries by Jonny May and Owen Farrel providing the one conversion, were enough to see England advancing on the road to another Championship. Two away matches to follow at Murrayfield and Stade de France before the final match against Ireland at Twickenham.

In Dublin, Italy were a much poorer side than the one who played England just 7 days before, which made Ireland look far better than they actually were. The scoreline Ireland 56 points Italy 19 points clearly flatters an Irish side. In flashes of brilliance, Italy's tries demonstrated that they could be a very good side but far too many periods of mediocrity ensured their defeat. Marrayfield saw Scotland run out winners with Scotland 32 points to France 26 points. This was no France of yester year however when Serge Blanco and the others played with passion and flair. Played two lost two says it all.

George Dubya Bush says that there is clear evidence that Russia "meddled" in US election.Like the clear evidence that Iraq possessed Weapons of Mass Destruction. G W Bush "won" a rigged election and lied all the way through his Presidency. We should place no credence on anything this warmongering hypocrite says.

SuRie will represent the UK in this years Eurovision with "Storm". Another UK entry for the Eurovision Song Contest (will we still be part of this annual nonsense after Brexit?) well in the mould of Sing Little Birdie Sing, Sing, Sing (2nd in 1959) or even "Cry Baby" from 2003. "Nul points" beckons.

When people have no idea what they are going to do or what their ultimate objective is, they invariable resort to the old chestnut "I will tell you tomorrow".

With Prime Minister May, it is always that we will set out her plans for Brexit, in a major speech "next month". Theresa May has used the "next month" comment with monotonous regularity, since she stood on the steps outside 10 Downing Street on 13th July 2013. On each occasion the resultant "announcements" have been little more than regurgitated cliches of vague intent without substance or direction. There is no reason to believe that this "Plan to set out more detail next month" will be any more enlightening or specific than the previous promises of clarity.

"Hard Sun." Did anyone watch the last episode of this 6 part "drama"? At the end of the episode as the sun rose slowly in the sky revealing a brilliance and intensity some 4 years too early according to Grace Morrigan (who is either a MI5 operative or something even more sinister), I and probably many others were left wondering. Did Charlie Hicks actually kill Butler and if so why? (apart from getting off with Butler's widow). Is there going to be another series? (The rumours are that the writer has a plan for a 5 year project). What is the chemistry between Renko and Hicks? Was this the prelude to more "Hard Sun" or was the whole 6 hours a complete waste of everyone's time? Answers on a postcard.

McMaffia finished on Sunday night didn't it? All secrets of the plot were revealed weren't they?

I posed the question some weeks ago, asking who were the good guys and who were the baddies. The last episode made it clear (?) that there were no good guys at all and that they were all baddies. Even the police were exposed as corrupt double crossing nasties, changing sides and killing people.

Even the sugary sweet Alex Godman rapidly degenerated into a "nasty" cutting drug running deals worth $ billions and eventually killing Vadim Kalyagin as he lay unarmed and mortally wounded on a sofa in a seedy Moscow apartment. Was this really the end or am I still missing something? Answers on a postcard.

Meanwhile, back in Jersey, "Condor cancels Rapide crossings again.

Condor said the cancellations were due to the vessel remaining in dry dock longer than planned"
These words have become an integral part of the Condor "Stock phrases" hand book, only the name of the vessel changes.

Hang on, hang on. They are still promising Arctic weather with penetrating frost, wind and heavy snow coming soon. Some places have admittedly had some snow, but nowhere near the apocalyptic disruptive and life threatening conditions promised by the Express. Will the forecasts change when the Express becomes part of the Mirror group?

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
