PSOE ISSUES HOMICIDE: Details emerge regarding the murder of Dana Leonte.
DANA DETAILS SCATHING: Manuel Chicón and Antonio Moreno Ferrer during the conference.
THE PSOE have heavily denounced the previous head of the fire department for ‘gross mismanagement.’ The provincial deputy of the PSOE, Manuel Chicón, denounced the previous PP head of the Provincial Fire Consortium, Francisco Delgado Bonilla for leaving the consortium with a trail of problems. A press conference was held on Tuesday of last week with Chicon and heads of the Provincial Fire Consortium (CPB) to
discuss the issues that currently face the delegation. Chicón explained that one of the last decisions of the outgoing president was the approval of a credit amendment of €1.2 million that received unfavourable support from Malaga Provincial Council, but still went ahead. “This irregular modification of credit meant that about 400 firefighters could not collect the bonuses or overtime since July,” said Chicón. “In short, Delgado Bonilla is in the eye of the hurricane be-
cause of his negligent management at the head of the Provincial Fire Consortium. The facts we describe leave the PP spokesman as a bad manager. As bad management made the front of firefighters as bad opposition is doing now here in VelezMalaga,” he added Velez mayor Antonio Moreno Ferrer also made a statement on the denunciation, in it he described “the two faces of Delgado Bonilla, he speaks of good management but does not reflect in his actions.”
Child support court action THREE relatives of Dana Leonte have taken legal action to ensure the protection of Dana’s child. Florín Leonte, Boean Doina and Ilie Monalisa-Claudia Leonte attended a hearing last Wednesday, October 2, to demand the protection of Dana Leonte’s child, Lucia, after the Junta de Andalucia decreed that custody would go to the father’s family. Family lawyer, Marcos García-Montes has explained that it is an extremely un-
usual decision made by the authorities. In a statement read before the Court of First Instance and Instruction No 4, Dana’s family have appealed against the ruling that left the care of the 10-month-old to the brother of Dana’s boyfriend. Dana’s brother Florin Leonte, has expressed a great desire to take custody of the child and move away from the Arenas area in order to help ‘turn over a new chapter’ away from the current situation.
MORE details are emerging in the case of the alleged murder of Romanian Dana Leonte. According to a police report released to Spanish media, the decision to jail the boyfriend of Dana Leonte, Sergio Ruiz, was made by the judge due to the ‘gravity of the facts’ and fears he would use his freedom on release to destroy further evidence of his guilt. Prosecutors have concluded from evidence presented during the investigation that Sergio allegedly ‘hit the woman at least once with a wooden weapon on the head,’ after which he concealed her and dragged her down the stairs to put her in a vehicle and moved her to another place ‘to hide her’ or ‘to kill her and hide her.’
Evidence to corroborate the story was obtained through police measures such as telephone tapping, geo location devices, testifying and collection of samples from various locations. It was also pointed out that Sergio falsified text messages supposedly from Dana, and upon investigation of the man’s property there was a strong smell of cleaning products. News of the emerging facts come as the town of Arenas announced three days of official mourning for the death of Arenas resident Dana. A minute’s silence was also held at 9am on Thursday, October 3, outside the town hall.

The rescue took place a short distance off the beach of Playa El Tesorillo last Thursday, October 3. The incident was reported by the husband of a Spanish woman who had got into difficulties close to the shoreline. He phoned 112 emergency services and explained that his wife had gone into the water and couldn’t return to the shore due to the strong currents. Before the police arrived, the man entered the water himself in an attempt to rescue his wife, but got into difficulties himself, with strong waves pushing the pair towards a rocky outcrop. A Local Police officer quickly arrived on the scene and entered the water, along with the help of a fellow beach goer and reached the pair and pulled them to safety. Councillor for Citizen Safety,

RINCON will invest heavily in the improvement of the town’s pavements. The local council has earmarked €400,000 for the improvement and refurbishment of pavements and parking areas. According to local councillor, Sergio Diaz, the work will be carried out on “streets and lanes where pavements are very deteriorated or have undermining, subsidence, eroded or slippery areas, and irregularities that make it necessary to carry out these works.” Mayor of Rincon de la Victoria, Francisco Salado, said: “The significant investment aims to ensure greater road safety in sections where a significant volume of vehicles pass daily.” The works will take place in Calle Tamadaba and Bandama, Limonero, in the old layout of the road to Benagalbon, in the streets Montecillo and Picadero, in the street Alboran and El Faro, in the street Neptuno, and the lane in Las Posturas. The investment will also include the improvement of various parking areas in Calle Tamadaba Calle Clara Campoamor.

MAGNIFICENT MALAGA INDEX A ROSE-TINTED sky is the celestial backdrop to Malaga Cathedral that towers over the rooftops of residences in the city’s old town. LA MANQUITA, as Malaga C ath ed ral is a ffe c tiona te ly k n o w n , is th e s ec ond highe s t Cathedral in Andalucia. Its nickname, which roughly translates in English as ‘The onearmed lady,’ reflects the fact that the building, on which work beg an aro u n d 1 5 8 2 , w a s ne ve r completed and the south tower remains unfinished. The reason it was never finished is a typically Spanish tale of financial irregularity. There was, it seems, no shortage of money to complete the project. However, according to a plaque at the base of the tower, money raised by the parish for the purpose was instead sent to fund the War of Independence in th e A me ric a s to h e lp fre e 13 colonies from British Rule. But parish records suggest that the money was actually used to repair a roadway, known as the Way of Antequera, rather than for the cause of liberation. The building site was a former mosque that was consecrated as the church of Santa Maria se la E n ca rn ac io n w he n R oma n C ath o lic tro o p s d e fe a te d the Moors in 1487. It is built in the Renaissance s ty le to a d e s ig n by D ie go de Siloe in a rectangular form with a Baroque façade. The magnificent 17th century choir stalls inside in mahogany and cedar wood were designed by Luis Ortiz. After his death the 40 saints that overlook the stalls were completed by artisan carpenter Pedro de Mena.

Dog poisoning
THE town of Velez-Malaga welcomes a new centre for the care of brain injury patients. The ‘Association of Relatives for the Rehabilitation of Cerebral Damage of the Axarquia’ has received a unanimous welcome in the region after an announcement of its opening was made this week. Councillor of Social Rights and Equality, Victor Gonzalez and the president of the Commonwealth of Municipalities, Jose Juan Jimenez have accompanied the members of the Association of Relatives for the Rehabilitation of Brain Damage ‘Neuronax,’ in making the announcement on Wednesday October 2. The centre will be dedicated exclusively to the care of patients with neurological disorders.
AN animal welfare group has denounced the systematic poisoning of dogs in the Axarquia area. The animal welfare group Tidus has denounced the poisoning of a number of domestic dogs in the hunting areas in villages across Axarquia. In particular, the contaminated meat has been found in the vicinity of hunting grounds in Almayate, Torrox, Alcaucin, Riogordo and Colmenar. A number of animals have been killed after ingesting meat containing sharp nails. So far, dozens of domestic animals have been killed or seriously injured due to the cruel act, and Tidus has begun an investigation alongside the local Guardia Rural to find the culprits. The organisation is also urging dog owners to use precaution walking their animals in these areas and to report anything suspicious to police.

DISCUSSION: Nerja’s latest plenary session gives hope for housing.
Housing plan approval STREETWISE: Councillors meet with residents in the area. URBAN cleaning will be a focus of budget spending in Motril. The mayor of Motril, Luisa García Chamorro, visited the Las Angustias neighbourhood to discuss their demands. García Chamorro announced that the council budget to be approved in October will tackle deficiencies especially in the areas of Urban Cleaning and Maintenance. The mayor has clarified that any improvement in the neighbourhoods decided by the municipal government team must ‘go hand in hand’ with the wishes of residents.
In the Motrileño neighbourhood of Las Angustias, García Chamorro has cited gardening and lighting and the cleaning that “is already beginning to improve in this neighbourhood.” She said: “In just three months that we have been in government, it is difficult to do what has not been done in four years.” Among the priorities that will be included in the municipal accounts for 2020 is replacing playgrounds. The mayor has insisted that the commitment of the current government team is “to be on the street” to maintain daily contact with residents.

A NEW housing bill was approved during the latest meeting of Nerja Council. Entitled ‘the Regulatory Ordinance of the Municipal Registry’ the approval builds on an initial regulation that came into force in 2010. The aim of the scheme is to reactivate the Register of the Protected Housing Applicant which is a tool for the allocation of housing. It will also provide updated information to plan, according to needs, housing policies to be then developed by the Administration. The proposal was approved by all political groups except the PSOE and now the committee will open a registration period to field any complaints or disagreements. Other topics discussed at the meeting included the municipal cleaning plan for the town, as well as the repair of the roof of the sports pavilion and the Social Centre of Maro. Of the topics discussed, all were approved except the ruling presented by the Adelante party, in favour of the support to the group of workers of the company ASM.
Velez sea bed programme The sea bed surrounding the entrance of the Port of La Caleta has undergone a spruce up as part of an international campaign. THE activity, organised by the Marine Vigilantes Network, was part of the Great International Cleaning of the Seabed which involved over 100 citizens taking to the beach last Sunday October 6. The project was announced by deputy mayor of Torre del Mar and councillor of Beaches, Jesus Perez Atencia, along with Jose Narvaez and Pablo Cuadros of the Club de Buceo Apañao Sub last week. The aim was to collect as much rubbish as possible following one of the most successful and busiest summer s e a s o n s Ve l e z - M a l a g a h a s s e e n f o r a number of years. The mayor has explained the importance of the cleaning programme being,
“they are the breeding grounds for many marine species, some of them unique to the area. "It is very important for the administration to support initiatives like this one and to work in the search for solutions to protect the flora and fauna of the oceans from the negative impact of the human ecological footprint,” he continued. He went on to describe the current government’s continuing commitment to the environment, “We manage environmental policies that have distinguished us in this aspect very prominently throughout our coastline, we are ver y aware and committed to caring for the environment.”

In the pipeline THE government has announced that it will speed up progress on the waterway between Gibraltar and Nerja. Nearly €3 million will be injected into the Environmental Complex of Casares and a section of the Senda Litoral in Estepona. The main aim of the new pipeline is to maintain a consistent supply of water to the Malaga region, an area currently under threat as many of the region’s reservoirs reach drought proportions. Although the proposal affects the whole of Malaga, one of the main projects covered under the agreement will be to interconnect the network of reservoirs from Campo de Gibraltar to Nerja. The progress was announced on Monday September 30 by the president of the regional body and mayor of Benahavis, José Antonio Mena (PP), shortly after the agreement for the first stage of investments was agreed. The largest investment will be reserved for the new facilities in Casares with a total of €2.4 million, with a further €270,000 going towards the Senda Litoral and €135,000 on the reservoir of Benalmadena. José Antonio Mena explained the reasoning behind the cash injections: “The magnificent economic management that has been carried out in recent years

Decision imminent LAST week, Prime Minister Boris Johnson told Parliament what amended proposals he had submitted to the EU in order for a Brexit deal to be agreed. Opposition party leaders were not supportive of the latest offers and it also appeared that EU negotiators were not convinced that they would be accepted. The PM spent much of the weekend on the telephone canvassing support from many of the European Heads of State. Following a conversation with France’s President Macron, it appears that a decision could be made as soon as tomorrow (Friday October 11). Officials welcomed what they referred to as ‘advances,’ but still have a number of problems with the

ALTHOUGH opinion polls are no longer treated as if they are carved in stone, regular tracking polls with the same questions being asked every week are quite enlightening. In the case of the YouGov organisation, their regular enquiry as to how people thought that the government would meet the Brexit deadline has seen some huge swings of opinion. Back in July just 27 per cent of those canvassed expected the deadline to be met but, following the election of Boris Johnson as Conservative Party leader, this climbed to 45 per cent by early September. Now in the latest poll the expectation is down to 26 per cent but in another poll, a very high percentage of Conservative and Brexit Party voters do not consider, should an extension be required, that the Prime Minister is to blame as his hands are tied by Parliament.

The new plan will see Northern Ireland stay in the European single market for goods but leave the customs union - resulting in new customs checks. In the event that the proposals are rejected, and the sticking point could well be over that border between Eire and Northern Ireland,
then there would, in theory, still be time for further negotiation before October 19 when the ‘Benn Law’ requires the PM to request a further delay in leaving. Despite Mr Johnson’s repeated statements that Britain would leave with no deal on October 31 and that he would rather be “dead in a ditch” than ask for a delay,
government papers submitted to a Scottish court said that he will comply with the law. Teams of British and EU government negotiators continue to meet in order to find the basis for a deal but, claiming to have made significant compromises, Britain says the EU side has to also compromise.
A REPORT from the ESRI organisation in Ireland suggests that a no-deal Brexit could push the Republic into unexpected recession and believes that their government should produce a new budget aimed at coping with such a result.

Gang workers ‘exploited’ A CRIMINAL organisation that exploited victims ‘captured’ in Romania and Moldova as ‘slave’ labour has been dismantled. A total of 145 victims have been detected in Spain. So far 18 of them of Romanian and Moldovan nationalities have been identified and released. Sixteen people have been arrested and five others are being investigated for crimes of trafficking in human beings for the purpose of labour exploitation, money laundering and membership of a criminal organisation. Among the detainees were members of the gang and businessmen from different Spanish provinces, who ille-
gally made use of the labour. It is estimated that the gang had at one time or another more than 600 victims under their control. They were used mainly for picking crops of olives, grapes and strawberries. The gang lured its victims to Spain through deception and making false job offers on the Internet, which promised good working conditions. Police say the reality was different, with the workers living in filthy and ramshackle tents and in conditions of ‘semi-slavery,’ sometimes going several days with no food. The Moldovan citizens had their original documents taken away, and were provided with passports and documents identifying them
as Romanian, in order to make it look like they were legally here. Gang bosses enjoyed a high standard of living, and it was proved through the investigation that the criminal group would invoice more than €1,000,000 a month to the companies for whom the victims were working. Police have impounded five vehicles which were used to transport the victims round Spain and Portugal. The operation was carried out by a joint group made up of officers from the Judicial Police of Jaen and the Human Trafficking Section of the Guardia Civil with assistance from police in Huelva, Albacete, Cordoba and Badajoz.

Organ donation Living in Spain can bring with it an array of issues which may not have been encountered when living in the UK. There are lots of things to consider, and we are here to help try to make the transition and life in Spain a little easier by compiling a series of helpful facts and figures relating to a variety of topics. As of 2010, Spain has operated an ‘opt-out’ (or presumed consent) system for deceased organ donation. This addresses the rate or refusal of potential donors or their families in giving permission for the use of organs. The rate of family refusal in Spain is 13 per cent, compared to 37 per cent in England (according to the National Transplant Organisation figures - ONT). According to the ONT, Brits living in Spain are more likely to donate their organs than their countrymen back home. It’s not necessary to have a donor card. What is important is to let family members and loved ones know your wishes in terms of organ donation. Figures published by the Spanish ONT in 2017 put the country as world leader in donation and transplants, reaching a new record with 46.9 donors per million people and 5.261 transplants. Spain has been a global leader in organ donation and transplantation for the past 26 years. Broken down by organ, there were 3,269 kidney surgeries (up 9 per cent on 2016), 1,247 liver transplants (up 8 per cent), 304 heart procedures (8 per cent rise), 363 lung surgeries (up 18 per cent), 70 pancreas transplants (down 4 per cent) and eight bowel surgical procedures (up 100 per cent). According to the National Transplant Organisation (ONT), these surgeries are equivalent to six donors and 14 surgical procedures a day. In addition, Spain saw a new record in bone marrow donation last year, with 78,291 new donors and an increase of 196 per cent over the previous year. At this rate, the country could reach its target of 400,000 bone marrow donors well before the mid-2020 goal. In Spain the number of those on the waiting list was reduced to 4,896 in 2017, from 5,480, although the number of children waiting for organs increased to 74, from 48 a year earlier. Lung and heart are viable for 4-6 hours after death, liver and pancreas 24 hours, kidney 72 hours, corneas 14 days, bone and skin five years, and heart valves up to 10 years. Small intestines, veins, tendons and ligaments can also be donated. A single organ donor can save up to eight people and a single tissue donor may enhance the lives of up to 50 people. This information is for guidance only, and should not be taken as legal advice. If in any doubt, seek professional help.

Drugs trafficking policeman walks free in Spain A GUARDIA CIVIL colonel has been cleared of drug trafficking offences even though judges considered the prosecution facts proven. The Court of Granada has acquitted the colonel because the offences happened between 2005 and 2006. The stature of limitations, however, is five years, so they considered he could not be convicted. He has also been acquitted of a bribery offence the Guardia Civil calculated that smugglers paid him €480,000 for turning a blind eye - for lack of evidence. Judges decided that the colonel had misused his position as head of anti-drug operations to help a gang of traffickers smuggle in hashish through the Granada coast. The court heard that the accused made contact with two drug traffickers with whom he devised a way to smuggle hashish into Spain from Morocco via the coast of Granada. In order not to raise suspicions, the two collaborators told him of three drug landings and the colonel set up surveillance operations on each of them.
But no arrests were made in the first two landings with the colonel justifying this to fellow officers by saying that the arrests would be made on the third landing, and all the drugs recovered. Not suspecting their own boss, they held back until the third landing and then moved in. But the drugs they found were of low quality. All the high quality and high value narcotics had been in the first two shipments, which by now had disappeared. The prosecutor’s office asked that the crime against public health be considered ‘extremely serious,’ something that depends on the amount of substance trafficked. This would have meant the statute of limitations would have been 10 years ‘ he was arrested nine years after the offences. But the judges said they could not be sure how big a quantity of drugs were involved, so the lower time limit applied. The prosecutor requested nine years in prison and a €6.3 million fine for a crime against public health and bribery. Instead the officer - who was sacked in 2015 walked free.
Dating scam death GUARDIA CIVIL have arrested a man and a woman in Pedrola in Zaragoza in connection with the death of a 54-year-old Basque IT professional. The authorities suspect Jose Antonio Delgado was the victim of an internet dating app scam set-up using women as bait to rob unwitting men, Spanish media reported. Jose Antonio Delgado went missing in early September after setting out from his home in Getxo in Vizcaya for a date arranged online. His body was found in Pedrola earlier this week.
Investigators reportedly believe Jose Antonio was surprised by several men when he turned up for the assignation, who brutally attacked him and that he died from the injuries sustained. It is also reported the attackers put Jose Antonio’s body in the boot of his car and buried him on the outskirts of the town, where it was discovered by a local resident. The aggressors then tried to sell Jose Antonio’s top-of-the-range Mercedes on the internet, but the buyer reported the sale to the Guardia Civil due to the lack of documentation to go with the vehicle.
Mobiles are distraction A STUDY by Fundacion Linea Directa found that drivers distracted by their mobiles cause 390 deaths each year. In other words, using a mobile at the wheel is currently responsible for 20 per cent of road accident fatalities. The Linea Directa findings are further supported by Españoles alvolante, distracciones y uso del móvil
2019 by Gonvarri and Movistar, which also demonstrates that mobile phones are the principal distraction for drivers. Spain’s Directorate-General for Traffic (DGT) has also analysed the mobile issue in depth and found that in just one week 5,794 drivers were stopped for distracted driving. Of these, 2,267 - 38.5 per cent of the total - were fined for using their mobile at the
time, the DGT revealed. The Linea Directa study also found that two million drivers admitted taking a selfie while driving or videoing themselves while driving at high speed. These include the 22year-old who was arrested recently in Malaga after he was seen with with one hand on the wheel and the other holding his mobile as he videoed himself driving at 189 kilometres per hour.

Festival pat on the back
European Tourism Fair
VERA Council has given itself a pat on the back for this year’s San Cleofas festival. “A complete success both in terms of participation and approval by residents and visitors for the suggested novelties,” was how Festivals councillor Amparo Garcia summed up how the celebrations had gone. The local authority said the public had given the thumbs up to the changes introduced for this edition of the week-long event, notably the decision to move the midday fiesta away from the town centre to the El Palmeral fairground. According to the council the midday activities had this year attracted the highest ever number of visitors. The council highlighted the popularity of this year two big acts, 80’s pop group Ole Ole and Seville band Siempre Asi, as well as traditional events like the jousting for ribbons and the street processions. The councillor also stressed there had been no “incidents or altercations” during the celebration, but rather “a festival atmosphere we have all enjoyed.” She drew particular attention to what she described as the “healthy” participation of young people in reference to the special police and Guardia Civil campaign to prevent so-called ‘botellones,’ or gatherings of youngsters in public places to drink.
VELEZ-MALAGA is being represented in the 2019 IFTM International French Travel Market in Paris. The exhibition is taking place at the Expo Porte de Versailles this week and is one of the leading travel and tourism trade shows in France. It is the key trade event and includes all the players in the travel sector - from tour operators and travel agencies to coach operators, airlines, event agencies. Councillor Jesus Perez Atencia said: “The work on tourism we have developed in recent years must maintain a level in terms of promotion and dissemination of what is Velez-Malaga as a tourism sector, maintaining the excellent level as part of the whole of the Costa del Sol.” With their presence at the expo, the local council of Velez-Malaga is pushing out all the stops to attract tourists to the area to help the local economy.

CROWDS: Andalucia is attracting more tourists than ever.
Busier than ever
ANDALUCIA has had its best ever August in terms of tourism. Data from the Ministry of Tourism shows that hotels in the region dealt with a total of 7.6 million overnight stays in the month, which is 5 per cent more than in August 2018. There was an increase in the number of guests of 4.4 per cent to exceed 2.3 million for the first time. The figures were revealed by vice president of the Junta de Andalucia and Minister of Tourism, Regeneration, Justice and Local Government, Juan Marín, at a meeting convened to assess the impact of the bankruptcy of Thomas Cook. Marin highlighted August as “a historic month for tourism in Andalucia. The data has exceeded our most optimistic forecasts and we are on track to close 2019 as a year in which we will further bolster the strength of our destination.” Regarding Thomas Cook, Marin said: “The impact on the region is going to be much smaller than other destinations, such as the Balearic or Canary Islands.” The biggest increase in overnight stays was in Sevilla, with an increase of 9.9 per cent. It is followed by Cordoba, with 7.5 per cent more, Granada, with 6.7 per cent more, Huelva, with an increase of 5.9 per cent, Cadiz, with 4.8 per cent more, Malaga, with a rise of 4.4 per cent and Almeria, up 1.9 per cent.

TRANSFORMATION: The restoration project at Denia Castle is moving fast with most of the dense pine trees already cut down.
MALLORCA
Rich pickings
Grand restoration scheme THE restoration project of the Verger Alt in the castle in Denia is quickly transforming the area overlooking the sea. Large parts of the castle grounds were in varying states of decay, covered by dense pine forest, and are now being uncovered to show off the castle that is a major historical site in Denia. The Verger Alt connects the highest part of the castle, the Governor’s Esplanade, with El Verger Baix and from the top, the viewpoint of the Palau del Governador or from the oval tower at the bottom of the esplanade, it’s possible to appreciate just how much work has taken place already. The pines have already disappeared and the trunks are piled up ready to be taken away and reused. From the port, a new landscape of the fortress can be seen. Once the work is completed the castle will be free for local residents and tourists to enjoy and will allow people to walk along the old path that descends from the Governor’s esplanade through the Verger Alt.

VOLUNTEERS: Iberdrola held an international day of action.
Cleaning up
ELECTRICITY company Iberdrola celebrated its International Volunteer Day in Guardamar del Segura. Company employees from the province gathered to spend a few hours cleaning the Moncayo beach, which had been affected by the recent storms. Internationally, the company brought together 2,200 volunteers, 22 per cent more than last year, in Spain, the United Kingdom, the United States, Mexico, Brazil and Portugal. Under the slogan ‘Together we build the world we want!’ the company dedicated the event to the fight against climate change and caring for the environment, as well as the inclusion of vulnerable groups and raising awareness of diversity. Iberdrola volunteers and their families shared the day with members of disability associations and those at risk of social exclusion. In Spain, more than 800 volunteers from the energy company took part in 26 activities with social organisations in 24 cities in 13 autonomous communities. This programme has received various awards, including the Innovation Award 2018 in the Private Sector category, awarded by the IMPACT2030 network (private sector initiative and the UN). In addition, in 2016, the company received a Special Mention from the King of Spain, in the celebration of the first decade of its International Programme.
VALLDEMOSSA has topped the list of the richest towns in Mallorca with the highest level of gross average income, coming in 25th place of all municipalities in Spain. The Tax Agency released a report on Tuesday listing the wealthiest places in Spain based on the average income of residents in the area and six of these municipalities are in Mallorca. Valldemossa came in at number 25, Puigpunyent at 38, Bunyola at 64, Esporles at 67, Calvia at 93 and Alaro at 100. This year Puigpunyent and Calvia have appeared in the list for the first time. Of the list of municipalities with the highest income levels on the islands, it is especially significant that only one of them, Calvia, is considered a tourist municipality with the rest of the towns located in the Sierra de Tramuntana. The average gross income of the inhabitants of Valldemossa is €42,451, which is 50 per cent more than the average income of the Balearic Islands. On the opposite side of the scale is Capdepera, which is listed once again as the municipality of Mallorca with the lowest level of average income. Its inhabitants had an average of €21,689 in 2017 which leaves them far from the Balearic average. Along with Sant Llorenç and Son Servera it is one of only three towns on the islands that are not among the 1,000 richest municipalities in Spain.
FINANCE Whisky alert
THE imposition of new tariffs on EU exports by the USA has the poten tial to cause major financial loss to Scotch Whisky manufacturers as cost of imports of their spirits will increase by 25 per cent. The decision to include Scotch in these new tariff arrangements ap pears to be a ‘tit for tat’ measure after the EU imposed charges on the import of American Whiskey in 2018 which led to a drop in import values of more than 20 per cent. It is estimated that exports of Scotch and other drinks to the USA exceed €3 billion per annum.

Grape harvest down
A REPORT from the Spanish Asso ciation of Young Farmers (ASAJA) on the latest grape harvest makes for interesting reading with both good and bad news. Due to long term drought in many of the grape growing areas, the harvest will be the lowest in the past five years, but it is consid ered that the quality will be excep tional allowing for the production of excellent tasting wines. Even with the effects of what is referred to as the ‘cold drop’ in Au gust and September pests were
By John Smith still kept to a minimum which re sulted in fewer grapes but less wastage. In times of low harvest and high quality it would be expected that the cost of grapes from the vine and thus the cost of wine itself would go up, but this is far from the case. ASAJA experts do not under stand why grape prices are ‘abnor mally low’ and for some reason, even though the harvests in both
France and Italy are less than usu al, international demand has not seen an increase in price and Span ish grapes will be sold at the same price as last year or in a worst case scenario at even lower prices. The actual estimate for the over all grape harvest shows that a max imum of 39 million hectolitres of wine is likely to be produced and this compares with the 2018 figure of 50 million hectolitres, so those with a nose for good wine could well pick up some quality bargains next year.
LEGALLY SPEAKING Bank refused his transfer I am a pensioner aged 76 with property in Spain but still resident in Dubai. I have held an account in La Caixa bank for 25 years, transferring money regularly for various contingencies including a monthly support for three grandchildren. Last week the bank refused a transfer of €19,000 and asked for proof of income. I showed them title deeds for prop erties in Dubai, including substantial rental income. I also showed them evidence of investment portfolios. They insisted on government stamped proof of in come or tax payment, which I do not have. The idea of drawing money from assets is obviously beyond them. They sent the money back, less €1,000. Do I have any recourse? B.H. (by email) La Caixa is applying due diligence under YOU AND THE the rules of ‘Sep LAW IN SPAIN blac,’ the Spanish regulations against money laundering. We suggest you have your bank in Dubai contact La Caixa directly to establish your legitimacy. Another option would be to instruct a Span ish asesor fiscal or tax consultant to steer you right. I have just discovered that Dubai has an income tax system, but with a zero rate and no obligation to declare for most resi dents.

Bad month for airlines
SEPTEMBER was a bad month for ailing airlines as following the demise of Thomas Cook and the rescue of Condor in Germany, two more low cost French Airlines are in trouble with one needing €35 million to survive. France’s secondlargest airline, Aigle Azur, was shut down by a court last week after going into Administration and then failing to find anyone to bail it out. The other casualty was XL Air ways which cancelled all flights as it too was unable to find the €35 million of financial backing it need ed and is facing bankrupt shortly.

No cheer for pensioners By John Smith WOMEN born in the 1950s, especially those born after April 6, 1953 have received extremely bad news from the High Court in London last week. A case was brought arguing that the increase in the age at which women would receive the State Pen sion was unfair because they were not given enough warning of the change of pension age and therefore had not been able to plan properly for their old age.
COURT RULING: Women’s hopes shattered.
Top Spanish banks THERE is no doubt that the Banks in Spain have recovered remarkably well from the problems that hit them in the time of the financial crisis. Caixa Bank is now said to control the largest amount of deposits in the country at just under €370 billion and it is followed very closely by BBVA which has just a billion less. Former front runner Santander has dropped to third
place with €345 billion, but that is due to a reorganisation of how its accounts are presented with the removal of its corporate banking and UK business as well as online bank Openbank which is now trading in Germany. There is a widening gap between these three and the others in the Spanish top 10, so with profits and earnings increasing, it would not be a surprise to see acquisitions being made over the next 12 months.
The original retirement age for women was 60 and for men 65, but in 2010 the retirement age for women was raised to 65 and both men and women will have to wait longer from 2020 when State Pension is paid to 66yearolds and the age increases to 67 by 2028. Many women left good jobs to raise children and could then return to work, knowing that they would be able to expect to receive their pen sions at 60. Whilst sympathising with those af fected, the court ruled that there was no direct discrimination against women as the new law simply cor rected historic discrimination against men and also rejected that the law was discriminatory based on age. In essence the court also indicated that the decision to introduce this law was confirmed in Parliament and that whilst many may disagree with the result, their course of action lies in the ballot box not the courts. It is estimated that some three mil lion women were in this position, with some potentially losing out on more than £40,000 (€44,000) which will not now be recovered due to this ruling.

Flight shame A SURVEY by Swiss Bank UBS has discovered that an increasing number of passengers are cutting back on air travel due to ‘flight shame’ over the impact to the climate. If the survey is accurate passenger numbers could drop significantly.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT WAR paint has been worn by warriors stretching back to the Neanderthals. Camouflage face paint is an integral part of our modern commando’s ability to melt into the background. But the UK decision this week to allow male soldiers to wear makeup was truly so ludicrous I thought I’d been beamed up to an other planet. It’s not even the decision that astounds me, it’s the knowledge that a con tingent of our military’s finest actually sat around discussing whether eyeliner and sticks of shocking pink, should become a part of our fighting men’s battle kit! War paint was sup posed to frighten our adversaries, not try to fool them into thinking they were being invit ed into a local gay bar by the Village People! Couple that with encouraging soldiers to cry, giving time out for others to pray and prosecuting exarmy heroes for ‘historical crimes,’ really does make me despair that when we have to defend our country against adversaries, we’ll be far too busy being politi cally correct to even come close to claiming victory. One of our problems has always been to underestimate our enemies. We always seem to think that others will
FEATURE
Completely merciless
WAR PAINT: Was supposed to frighten our adversaries. respect the rules of war, or treat defeated en emies with chivalrous compassion and ‘uman rites’ etc. Well I have news for all the utterly misguided wimps and snowflakes. Today’s adversaries are completely merci less, they would slit your throat and hang, draw and quarter you in front of your family. There are no rules any more. Bringing polit
ical correctness into the equation can get us all dead. For all our sakes get real and con centrate on digging out our enemies at all cost. Only by confirming that we will stop at nothing to defeat them, will we have any chance at all of saving our lands and its citi zens; and who knows, by taking a strong and noncompromising stand perhaps just per
haps, we can strike enough fear into our ene mies that we won’t actually have to go to war at all. So for heaven’s sake all you military ‘Wallas’ forget the eye shadow and Estée Lauder and concentrate on lethal new weaponry and no quarter combat policies before you all lose your heads and we lose the country we put our trust in you to fight for and protect. You have no idea how much writing in this vein saddens me. Long into my 30’s I had re tained my 60’s ‘flower power’ beliefs that peace and love was the only way and that war and violence would never be the answer to the survival of the human race. I still do believe these sentiments. Unfortunately I am also a realist. Over the years I have recognised that for these ideals to prevail, everyone had to share the same teaching. Well they don’t. Extremism has manifested fanatics, who believe superiority can only be gained by delivering exactly the opposite. You cannot fight these people with reason or understanding. The only way to survive and bring peace to our future genera tions is by the annihilation of those whose sole aims are to annihilate us. Keep the faith Love Leapy. Leapylee2002@gmail.com

FOR NEXT 7 DAYS
AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) Yours is a big ship. You are able to take a lot on board but you don’t have to. In this special week, when you see things so clearly, be selective. Allow into your life only that which is valuable and worthwhile. This is not selfishness, it is providing a source of inspiration for the present and the future.
PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Your old shoes are comfortable and still have a lot of wear in them but someone is suggesting that you should buy some new shoes and throw the old ones away. They are no longer shiny. They are no longer fashionable. They do, however, provide all that you need.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20) That little bit of extra cash has made you realise something. Not everything is as simple as you would wish it to be, and throwing money at a problem will not make it go away entirely. There are some things that you need to come to terms with. It is much easier to incorporate the uneasy into your life if you take a more relaxed attitude.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Sometimes, when we are making a journey, it is not the usual route that is best. Something has changed in your sphere and there is a need to adjust to it. There are other options that will bring the same result and maybe even a more convenient one. You will need to do two things. The first is to open your mind to the possibilities.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Someone needs to learn to stand on their own two feet. It isn’t you, but it’s close. Finding a balance between helping and idly standing by while mistakes are made is necessary. It’s not easy but it has to be done. You may break into a sweat this week and it won’t suit your nerves, but you’ll get through.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) A way opens up before you that can bring wealth. Branching off from that is a path to certain happiness. Which will you take? If having that money means changing your nature (or trying to) is that going to make you happy? On the other hand, if you sidestep the money can you still be happy? Keep things simple. You know where you are.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) Are you looking for guidance? Maybe you are thinking that a recent acquaintance will be able to provide it. You ran something by a few friends and they are not so sure. That is because this is a situation where you need an expert, not a well-wisher. Best not to waste your time and jangle your nerves. Get that expert even if it costs a few pennies.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) It appears at times that you are in the middle of a play. The lights are on you, the mike’s wired, your audience awaits, then nothing. Not that you are lost for words. You know exactly what to say and do. What you are wondering is why you are there in the first place. Maybe where you are was not intended.
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) There’s a lot of buzzing going on in your head. No, it isn’t tinnitus, it’s something quite different. You know it’s a great time to get ideas and act on them. However, trying to act on too many at once is causing some confusion. Maybe there’s too much going on.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) You’ve been working hard, maybe in the dark some of the time. This week someone shines a torch on your situation and you see exactly where you are. Are you surprised? You shouldn’t be.
SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Getting a creative project started has opened your eyes to many things. Perhaps you question why you did not do it before. The fact is that it doesn’t matter. You are where you are right here and not because that was where you were heading. Enjoy the feeling, the praise and the satisfaction.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Just imagine for one day that you have achieved everything your heart has desired. When you wake up in the morning believe it is so. Feel how your spirits lift and your heart sings. Carry that feeling through the week and beyond. If you believe that you are a success you can be. Why stop when it feels so good?

Don’t do it, just don’t! MIKE SENKER IN MY OPINION Views of a Grumpy Old Man MY daughter has Netflix in the UK and we pay an extra subscription so we can watch it here and also so she can also watch it when she’s here too. The problem is that it’s an utter waste of time because if you are watching an Englishspeaking movie which has sec tions of people talking something other than English, you can’t understand what they are saying because the subtitles come up in Spanish. I asked Netflix about it in a live chat and was told it was all about licensing and copyright. Here’s my point to all companies that do this Amazon TV is the same don’t just don’t! There is nothing worse than this happening. If you are paying a sub scription in England it should have Eng lish subtitles available even if you are watching in Spain. What’s the point of having a movie on that half way through you can’t watch it any more? These massive entertainment compa
nies get on my nerves with all their rules and regulations about their licensing and intellectual copyright. People will pay a fair amount gladly to watch what they want, just give them the option. Because I can promise you they will find a way of watching whatever they want by using VPNs, IPTV, Kodi, Teatv and loads of oth er things I’ve never heard of. This is a grump about gift cards and ho tel key cards. Recently I was in the UK and, as you know, most hotels now use key cards. I can’t count the amount of times I get back to my room only to find it wouldn’t work, making me turn round and have to go back to reception and get a new key. The same happened on Satur day when I went to El Corte Ingles to use some of the gift cards I was very gener ously given for my birthday. I went to pay and was told they couldn’t read it. I was told it was because I’d had it near my phone or credit card and I’d have to go down to customer service to sort it. There is actually no way I know of that this can be stopped from happening. Surely if you can put men on the moon and have driverless cars, someone must be able to come up with a way that your key card can last the walk from reception to your room!

Only lawyers win SO, we have the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, currently trotting around Africa, determined to demonstrate that they’re earning their keep. During this trip, Prince Harry has fired a broadside at the tabloid press. He is entitled to be furious if newspapers have tapped his or his family’s phones. Although taking legal action is unusual for a royal, this is a crime and he can rightly take the tabloids responsible to court. He is also entitled to be furious that a newspaper has published a private letter written by his wife to her father. The couple may be equally entitled to sue the newspaper that published the letter for copyright, but it’s not so black and white. The letter was legally owned by Meghan’s father. If the newspaper legally obtained the letter from him, is it not Meghan’s publicity-hungry father who should be the target of Harry’s ire? By suing the paper, is he not attracting more attention on his apparently strained relationship with his father-in-law and this isn’t protecting his family privacy. There’s no doubt former actress Meghan Markle is per fect clickbait, but she won’ t play the tabloid’ s game. Now they can’ t do right for doing wrong, but is Harry’s lawsuit going to help or will only the lawyers win?
MONEY MAKER I READ your article on the new Renfe card, it seems to me it is another way of making money from travellers who use the train infrequently, such as tourists travelling to and from the air port, they are likely to make only one or two journeys and are less likely to understand the very complicated ticket machines at stations, this means that they will probably pay an extra 50 cents on each journey. Paul Wynn
Are all people in power blind or just don’t want to know or unwilling to face the problem. At the moment black peo ple are killing each other due to the drugs war that’s going on around the country to some people that’s just fine. It’s not a nice situation we have here but all what you have stated is spoton in every way, I congratulate you for stating the obvious. My only wish is that I could have access to your paper over here or can I get it on the inter net? I would be delighted if you could let me know. Thanks again for an hon est nail on the head bit of writing. Regards, John Harrison *You can read Euro Weekly News online at: euroweeklynews.com
Migration DEAR Leapy, No slings and arrows I assure you. Ex cellent article. What you have in the UK is also a huge problem in Holland. Most Dutch have had it with migrants and the arrogance and aggression of Africans that have moved into this tiny country. The truth of the matter is that all Eu rope has lost their pride and their own culture. The English are the same as the Europeans. It’s all loud talk, big brave words, drunkenness, drugs, tattoos and if a family member is raped or abused, they blame colonialism. What a pathetic excuse. Carry on Leapy, and spread your message. In SA the Xhosa are killing the mi grants coming in. That’s black on black!! Don’t see that on BBC. Regards, Hans de Leeuw
RENFE: New card costs 50c. between us and there never will be. We are forced by law to tolerate this situa tion. When people get together it is common for this subject to be dis cussed and all agree that we will not tolerate this situation for much longer, but no one in power seems to under stand that there is a problem.
Social integration BEEN on holiday in Mallorca and just happened to pickup the Euro Weekly newspaper. I must admit your reference regarding social inte gration was just spoton. Your think ing has been common thinking by most people for years. I live in Wales now and only too pleased to get away from the greater London area as the majority of people there now are black with the odd white person now and then. You are quite correct when you state that there is little integration
Leapy for PM? EACH week we read your item in the paper. We cannot thank you enough for your thoughts, we agree with you 100 per cent and would back you to be PM if Boris fails. Thanks. Allan and Jean Barber

I would never leave my dogs mess for others. That’s disgusting. Get a bag and pick it up ... simple !! Michelle Johnstone I think the government should first show proper due care for animals in Andalucia . Of course this issue matters but try banning cruelty or enforcing mi crochip and running sterilising programmes first and clean up the desperate situation of overbred and under valued animals here. Fine someone whose looked after dog peed on the walkway but ignore the dog tied to a tree or abused donkeys? Princess Karoline Coster Barrett

Electric Scooter Rider Pulled Over By Cops On Spanish Motorway I have just seen a man,with a child about four years old on one of these, going down the main road among all the traffic, really responsible parent he is!!!!!!! Another thing that really gets me, we motorists, scooter riders or whatever have to pay road tax, in surance and abide by the laws of the road, they pay nothing and abide by no laws. John Grieve They probably go faster than cyclists on the motor ways, but the Guardia still let the cyclists on motor ways, lol. Matt Coy

Caring responsibilities A NEW study has revealed that nearly twothirds of young car ers suffer from mental health problems because of their car ing duties. The study, which looks at six European countries, warns that the failure of those govern ments to take proactive action on behalf of young carers could be in breach of human rights law. Published by the MeWe Young Carers project, the new research found that 60 per cent of the 276 adolescent young carers defined as those aged 15 to 17 reported mental health problems because of their caring. Thirty per cent said they had thought about hurting them selves and 12 per cent had thought about hurting others. Of the latter, 43 per cent had thought of hurting the person they cared for. Thirty per cent of adolescent
PRESSURES: Many young carers suffer mental health problems.
Skin lightening cream warning LOCAL government leaders have warned of the dangers of skinlighten ing creams that ‘act like paint stripper’ and increase the risk of cancer. The Local Government Association (LGA) is urging people to avoid ille gal creams after recent seizures by councils of dangerous products. They fear criminals are exploiting a soaring market by making inferior toxic products which are being sold by rogue retailers, online and at car boot sales and market stalls. Many of the toxic creams contain the bleaching agent hydroquinone described as the biological equivalent of paint stripper while others can include potentially deadly levels of mercury. But the illegal products typi cally list their often harmful ingredients incorrectly. Simon Blackburn, chair of the LGA’s safer and stronger communities board, said: “Skin creams containing banned ingredients are very dan gerous and could seriously damage your health, scar you for life and even kill you, so they should be avoided at all costs. “Consumers should always check the ingredients of their skin creams, be suspicious of very low prices which are likely to indicate the lotion is fake and potentially DANGERS: Illegal skin whitenharmful, and never use a ing creams pose health risks. product containing hydro quinone. “If the product doesn’t display the ingredients at all, then don’t use it.”
young carers reported physical health problems due to their caring role, the University of Sussex research said. Just over 40 per cent report ed experiencing difficulties in school due to their caring re sponsibilities. Twentytwo per cent experienced negative school performance and 37 per cent had endured bullying due to caring. The MeWe project recom mends a number of policy ini tiatives to support young carers including special measures such as additional time for young carers sitting exams. They also call for psychologi cal supervision in schools to support adolescent young car ers, flexible working conditions at work, and training to help professionals identify and sup port young carers. The 2011 census for the UK revealed that there are 177,918 young car er s under the age of
18 in England and Wales. The number of young carers has increased by 19 per cent over the last decade. “Young carers are a particu larly vulnerable group and should be recognised as such,” said Saul Becker, professor of social work and social policy at the University of Sussex. “They should not only benefit from the universal implementa tion of their rights, but be sub ject to additional and tailored policy and support measures with a scale and intensity that is proportionate to their level of disadvantage. “International human rights law requires States to adopt af firmative actions in fulfilling their obligations to respect the equality principle. “One could argue the lack of positive actions from states to support young carers is a fail ure to protect and promote these rights.”
‘More relaxed’ DAME HELEN MIRREN, 74, has revealed she used to be ‘paranoid’ about her looks, but now ‘doesn’t give a flying f***.’ The actress told Bella magazine she worried far more about her looks when she was younger, and said it is ‘not fair’ that women are made to feel like they should look like teenagers. Mirren was talking ahead of the premiere of her new TV show, Catherine The Great, which aired last Thursday on Sky One. The actress went on to say that women are constantly faced with younger models thrust in their faces and are expected to compete.

James, who was resident entertainer in Malaga at Olivia’s La Cala over the sum mer, has been keeping fans updated with his travels on Instagram. He admitted he usually hates being on his own, but has
found his trip very therapeutic and relax ing, and loved being a tourist for the day! He added that he doesn’t remember Barcelona being this beautiful and amaz ing! We’re sure it won’t be long before he’s back on the Costa Del Sol entertaining us, eh Arg?
TV star ‘needs a laugh’ LOVE ISLAND host Caroline Flack has been holidaying in Ibiza with boyfriend Lewis Burton. The couple were spotted on board a luxury boat with a host of pals including former Made in Chelsea star Ashley James. Flack, aged 39, and former tennis star Burton, aged 27, started dating in July. Celebrity spotters say the couple’s sunshine break appeared to be clouded by a row, but it’s unclear what was the cause of the conflict. The TV presenter, at one point, appeared to be showing Burton a text on the screen of her mobile phone. She was later seen intently typing on her mobile as she sat alone while Burton enjoyed a beer with beauty Ashley Jones who wore a tiny black bikini. A couple of days later Flack hinted that all was not well in her personal life when she posted on Instagram telling fans she felt she ‘needed to laugh.’ Flack and Burton, now a model, went on Instagram earlier this year to announce they were an item.
Murder and Mirth THERE are two evenings of murder, mystery, mayhem and mirth at the Salon del Mar in Torre del Mar in October and November. The first one is all about
murder and ‘whodunit’ and takes place tomorrow, Friday October 11, so you will have to be quick to pick up a table. A performance company from the UK, Moonstone are
masters of mystery and as nowadays people are looking for more than just some music with a meal, this organisation makes the meal part of a fun and mind expanding event. Murder at the Mason Hotel starts in the bar as the guests and actors mingle before moving into the restaurant where the tables will be set with a welcome sheet, clue sheet and individual detective’s notepads to help keep track of all the clues throughout the evening. Once all are seated, guests are introduced to the Inspector and suspects in the case and they proceed to set the scene
Credit: Moonstone
MURDER: Can you find the killer? and explain the circumstances of the murder. Once the murder scene has been completed, guests will be able to ask questions to see if they can discover any last minute clues, then the Inspector explains the mystery and unveils the name of the killer. Typically, around a threecourse meal, the evening takes about three hours, so a complete evening of entertainment is guaranteed as it isn’t too long, too short, too complicated or too easy. And now for something
completely different! Another touring company with a real difference will be bringing the globe-trotting Faulty Towers: The Dining Experience evening to the same venue on Friday November 15 and if you like to have a good laugh (and perhaps suffer one or two friendly insults) this is the place to be. You know that Basil will be rude and a little apoplectic, Manuel will be confused even though he is back in his homeland and Sybil whilst trying to control the mayhem will only
make matters worse. Their last tour was a sell-out and diners can expect to enjoy a great three-course meal and plenty of fun over the evening. Don’t worry if you experienced Faulty Towers last time as even the actors don’t really know what is going to happen as much of the evening is improvised, but everything is done in a light-hearted way in order to ensure guests have a great evening. To make reservations for either event, call the venue direct on 952 644 952.

Past and Future of Luxury Motors NICK HORNE’S Rich Pick Freelance correspondent, London, England THE Goodwood Estate rests in a fold of the gentle hills of the South Downs, a rural idyll of the southern counties of England that from time to time has re verberated to the roar and whine of engines driven with passion and deter mination. In war the estate hosted an airfield from which several of ‘the few’ flew into battle and fought the Battle of Britain. The estate’s motor circuit was the scene of epic battles by racing dri vers like the legendary racing driver Sterling Moss and his contemporaries as well as many Grand Prix. On the other side of the Hill Climb course lies the horse racing, ‘Good wood’ where thoroughbred race hors es speed across the Downs and round a natural amphitheatre to sweep past lawns and grandstands filled with cheering race goers. The Goodwood Estate also hosts a manufacturer of cars; Rolls Royce Motor Cars. Every year a historic motoring ex

travaganza takes place at Goodwood; the ‘Good wood Revival’ meeting. Everyone at tending is in the cast for the stylish event, dressing the part, entering into and recreating the glamourous world of the 1950s. This year Rolls Royce Mo tor Cars transformed the March Motor Works into a replica of the company’s motor show stand of the era.

An allelectric experimental model that has been touring the world for much of the last four years has come home. The car will be on display at the company’s headquarters, a solid com ment on a vision of an electric future. A radical and controversial Vision Next 100 alluding to the centenary of the brand while pointing optimistically to dominating the future with the car co denamed 103EX. First seen in 2016 the 103EX in cludes an allelectric drive train, an en tirely autonomous drive and enhanced artificial intelligence, connected and autonomous the 103EX has controver sial styling.

THE USA and the UK - two great countries separated by a common language. A phrase attributed to Oscar Wilde, George Bernard Shaw and even Winston Churchill. But apart from language, what else is common to both countries? How about, for starters, their current leaders, both threat ened with ‘impeachment,’ and the tricky situation they both face, namely political processes paralysed by the opposition. Boris represents the 17.4 million who voted for Brexit, Trump won the presidency in the USA and both are trying to deliver what they promised. Whether or not Trump violated any law, it is essential that corruption is investigated foreign aid is, af ter all, US tax payers’ money. And the claim, by some in 2016, that the majority didn’t vote for Trump ignores the reality that US elections are won using a different system. It is also right that Boris is allowed an election. Until the UK has a majority govern ment (maybe a coalition), parliament will
USA AND UK: What is common to both countries? continue to control House of Commons business, which is not the way democracy operates. But the real comparison lies in the atti tude of both the US and UK less welloff families who voted for Trump and Brexit in vast numbers. They are the ones who twig that the current systems of globalisation manufactured by the ‘global establish ment,’ in which the EU plays a major part and which has been blatantly exploited by China (the USChina trade war has led to the imposition of tariffs on products worth more than $470 billion), don’t work for them. Hardly surprising then, that many of these families regard Trump and Johnson as their champions (the warm BorisDonald relationship even less surprising). Maybe,
though, both men are too flawed, personal ly, to see their respective mandates through to the bitter end? However, the genie of populism is out of the bottle so we shouldn’t be surprised if we see the establishments of both coun tries gobsmacked once more by an em phatic victory for Brexit supporters in the next UK elections and another electoral vic tory for Trump in the USA.

When censorship backfires BARRY DUKE BACK in 2003, American entertainer Barbra Streisand made a huge blunder when she tried to suppress the publication of an aerial photo of her mansion in Malibu. It was not a paparazzi pic, but was simply taken for the California Coastal Records Project. Streisand, who claimed invasion of privacy, sued the project and photographer Kenneth Adelman for $50 million dollars and lost. Until she launched the lawsuit, the photo had been downloaded from Adelman’s website just six times. After she sued, in a single month people downloaded it more than 420,000 times! Streisand’s lawsuit was dismissed, and she was ordered to pay Adelman’s costs of over $155,000. Two years later, a weird website es tablished to showcase urinals around the world was operating in relative ob scurity. That is, until it featured a shot of

one at a US holiday resort, which took umbrage at being named on Urinal.net. It immediately issued a takedown notice. This hugely boosted the num ber of visitors to the website, and prompted one commentator, Mike Masnick, to ask ‘how long is it going to take before lawyers realise that the simple act of trying to repress some thing they don’t like will be seen by many more people? Let’s call it the
Streisand Effect.’ Although decades were to pass be fore Masnick gave Streisand’s name to this law of unintended consequences, I became aware of the phenomenon way back in the 1960s when I discov ered I could actually generate the Streisand Effect by making public as an investigative reporter decisions taken by the South African censors. These imbeciles had draconian pow
ers and banned thousands of books, films, tshirts, records and the like. But unless one had access to a semisecret government publication called ‘Jacob sen’s Index of Objectionable Literature,’ one had no idea what South Africans were being deprived of in terms of liter ature and entertainment. On discovering ‘Jacobsen’s,’ I hit on the bright idea of running a monthly column in Johannesburg’s Star newspa
per detailing some of the more bizarre decisions made by the censors. For ex ample, when I revealed that a poster bearing the words ‘Black is Beautiful’ had been declared objectionable, an enterprising local tshirt outlet began printing the slogan, and the proprietor could barely keep up with the demand. I was reminded of that era this month when the sales of a comic book in Brazil went into the stratosphere af ter the mayor of Rio de Janeiro, Marce lo Crivella, an evangelical Christian, called for it to be banned. Why? Because the cover featured two guys kissing. The Streisand Effect served not only promote the book, but turned Crivella into an international fig ure of fun, surpassing albeit briefly British Prime Minister Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson. The comic, ‘Avengers: The Children’s Crusade,’ had been around for years without anyone having to reach for the smelling salts, but thanks to Crivella’s in tervention and the fact that the ‘offen sive’ cover made the front page of a na tional newspaper people who never entertained the idea of two men kissing now have the image branded on their brains, and are probably in need of years of counselling.

Kia ProCeed GT-Line ROAD TEST by Nick Fletcher KIA says its new ProCeed model offers sporty design, practicality and versatility by being a hatchback tourer with estate-car capacity - and it is hard to argue with that assessment! With long, low and rather rakish lines, the car exudes a sleek image which has its own distinct persona and inside, it proves to be a roomy fiveseater which is very well equipped right across the range. Designed, engineered and built in Europe, the ProCeed is available with petrol and diesel engines, manual or auto gearboxes and in three different trim levels, starting at €26,804 (£23,840). My test model was an entry GT-Line with a 1.6-litre 134 hp diesel engine and six-speed manual gearbox. Priced at €27,759 (£24,690,) standard
features include alloy wheels, privacy glass, auto lights and wipers and projector headlights. You also get digital radio, Bluetooth, smartphone mirroring, connectivity features, satnav and reversing camera - an outstanding entry-level specification. Safety kit includes lanekeep assist, driver attention warning, city forward-collision aid, hill start assist and pedestrian detection. First impressions of the ProCeed are of its elegant and assertive lines and once inside, the cabin area is light and airy, with comfortable seating and a well-designed dashboard with user-friendly control layout. I found it easy to familiarise with the dials, switchgear and touch-screen operation. Although the roofline swoops towards the rear, there is still good headroom in the back for taller adults, and plenty of leg room too. The boot is among the largest in the sector offering a substantial 594 litres of space. The rear seats drop
down to boost load space and and there are useful underfloor storage compartments too. Direct rivals are rare - one is perhaps the more expensive Mercedes CLA Sport Wagon otherwise you have to compare with conventional estate models such as the VW Golf. On the road, the diesel unit proves smooth and responsive and aided by a slick six-speed manual gearbox, gets this large car to 100 kph in 10.0 seconds and on to a top speed of 200
kph (124 mph). Fuel economy is very good at 20 kpl (56.5 mpg), with emissions low at 114 g/km. Ride quality is excellent and the car feels well planted on the corners. The ProCeed underlines Kia’s rapid progression up the motoring hierarchy. Now comparable to many of the longer established quality brands, it actually tops them all with its industry-leading seven-year warranty!

World’s first production car on display THE first-ever production car has gone on display at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Engineer Karl Benz’s Patent Motorwagen was the first production automobile ever made. It debuted in the summer of 1886, with an en gine that could barely muster 16kmh. The car
proved its mettle in 1888 when Benz’s wife Bertha took the Motorwagen Nr 3 for the first ever, longdistance drive covering almost 60 miles. Although it wasn’t fast at the time, the tech nology developed rapidly, putting the thrill of speed at the hands of the driver.
The idea of ‘speed’ quickly grabbed the fasci nation of the public, inspiring a worldwide racing culture, pushing the design and technology of cars to go ever faster. One such technology, streamlining, is ex plored through the Tatra T77 from the Czech Re public.
Its sleek curves and style were designed to de crease drag, but would influence all areas of de sign, from cloche hats and radios to meat slicers. Benz unveiled the car to the wider public on the Ringstrasse in Mannheim on July 3, 1886. Its singlecylinder combustion engine was flat out at 16 kmh.

WOLVES matched up to City, not their passi n g e q u a l s b u t w e re pretty nifty at it, and took all the pace out of the game. They had three good chances in the first half and would have been disappointed not to have been in front in the first half but at half time the game was goal less. All the action was late in the second half. On the 80th minute, Cancelo played a poor pass and Jimenez countered, squared to Traore at precisely the right moment, Tra ore drew in and Ederson opened his body and slotted in side the near post. It was a love ly goal, very beautifully taken that saw Wolves go 01. Eight points at this stage of the season would be a huge lead, and if City can’t score, that would be the deficit they would be facing. Liverpool have started the season with the swagger of a team who know, but City didn’t seem in spired by it at all and couldn’t get level. As the game went into injury time, again Jimenez found Tra ore and again he kept his head, steadying himself as he chal lenged and came into slot past

Wolves man ager ‘Nuno’ has done such a job with Adama Traore turning him to an excellent player. Man City manager, Pepe Guardiola, said he thought Manchester City lost their confidence after making firsthalf mistakes.

Looked like relegation fodder
AS the Spurs players left the tunnel at the weekend, most of them looked very serious. Harry Kane had the e x p re s s i o n o f s o m e o n e who’s fed up of losing after Tottenham were smashed once again. Brighton were actually playing a back four, with Burn at leftback and Alzate to the right of centre in a dia mond midfield. On just three minutes Burn’s over hit cross from the left forced Lloris to backpedal towards his own line. He made a splitsecond decision to catch the ball instead of pushing it over the bar, but he misjudged where he was in relation to the goal line. As he caught the ball, his momen tum took him over the line, so he had to drop it in front of an open goal. Maupay reacted fastest to head it in
NIGEL OWEN blew his whistle and Benjamin Urdapilleta kicked off for Argentina. Ben Youngs took the ball from the back of the ensuing ruck and kicked it up the field. Argentina took possession and went through the phases as they made their way up the centre of the pitch. With England under extreme pres sure, Elliot Daly put in a brilliant tackle to prevent Santiago Carreras from going over in the corner. Referee Nigel Owens took Owen Farrell to one side and point ed out three different penalties his team could have conceded. Argentina got one of those penalties for a noarms tackle by Kyle Sinckler. Owens told Farrell to warn his players that there was a yellow card in the post. Benjamin Urdapilleta took the penalty and England went behind, 03. England hit back immediately. A drive for the Argentina line after a good take from Mario Itoje was stopped illegally. With a penalty to fall back on, England had a freebie and played the ball out to the wing. Jonny May went over in the corner after George Ford had drawn two tacklers before finding his teammate out by the touchline. Owen Farrell pulled his conversion wide of the left upright so the score went to 53, England leading. The 17th minute saw a hit by Tomas Lavanini on Owen Farrell. It was high and Nigel Owens went to his TMO.
from a yard. Lloris landed badly and looked in serious pain. He wasn’t able to continue as Brighton took the early lead. After a delay of around five min utes, Lloris was stretchered off the field and given oxygen. Paulo Gazzani ga replaced him. Brighton were the better team and now led by two. Burn hit a bouncing cross towards the near post, where Connolly got in front of Davies to flick the ball towards goal from six yards. Gazzaniga made a brilliant save, low to his left, but Connolly reacted first to steer the loose ball into the net. Thir tytwo minutes in and woeful Totten ham were 02 down. It was a full debut for Brighton’s Aaron Connolly. He was a pest all day and went on to score his second goal. The move started when he made a fine run from centre to left
to receive Dunk’s long pass. Then he cut back inside, shifted the ball away from Alderweireld and cracked a su perb low shot into the far corner from 15 yards to put Spurs 03 down within 65 minutes. The Man of the Match was Aaron Connolly, he took Spurs expensive so called stars apart having more deter mination than the whole of the lack lustre Tottenham side. The focus, inevitably, will be on a totally awful Spurs performance and a horrible injury to Hugo Lloris. His sea son most likely over whilst Tottenham are quite frankly looking relegation fodder.

They sent the ball out wide George Ford swung it towards Elliot Daly, who juggled it before gaining control and cutting inside two Argentinians to go over. Owen Farrell missed yet another kick, hitting the post with his conversion attempt. The scoreline stood at 103. After a surge towards the line from Man Tuilagi, Billy Vunipola took the ball from the bottom of the ruck and passed to Ben Youngs. He spotted a gap and nipped through to touch down, as Pablo Matero missed the tackle for Argentina. Owen Farrell made it zero from four on the kicking front. England went in at half time 153 up.

Agustin Creevy, Mayco Vivas and Santia go Medrano came on for the graveyard shift. England were in complete control. George Ford pinned them back on their own line with a fine kick to the corner. Argentina won the lineout and cleared their lines. Santiago Carrera gave away a penalty for going off his feet, but Nigel Owens played advantage. He called a second ad vantage when Santiago Medrano strayed offside. England took a penalty on the Argentina 22 and Owen Farrell slotted it over having found his shooting boots. Score increased to 253. After some neat passing by assorted Argentinians, Matias Moroni exploited a gap in the England defence, stepped out of a lastditch tackle by Manu Tuilagi and went over under the posts for Argentina. The try was converted. Argentina had not given up moving the score to 2510. Excellent play though from Jack Now ell after Jonny May broke the Argentina line with a dash through the centre.
