OUT OUT AFTER almost 100 days in the State of Alarm, months of fear, uncertainty and c o n f i n e m e n t a c ro s s Spain have come to an end and the Costas have reawakened with a new energy and determination to build a better new normal. After such a long period of inactivity, flights are landing in Spain without quarantine, there’s movement across borders and provinces, children can play in parks and the economy can start to get back on its feet. There has never been a more crucial time to take the bull by the horns and MAKE the future happen. The global pandemic thrust the country into an unprecedented era that has hit the Costas hard, but now they are braced and ready to welcome locals and tourists alike.

Beaches open. The regions are awash with excellent restaurants, bars and cafes offering a typically friendly Spanish service. And local shops and businesses will now be relying on us to help

them rebuild and stay afloat, hoping that money that wasn’t spent during shut down will rejuvinate trade. The sun, sea and sand have already seen thousands return to the region’s world-

famous beaches which have reopened, with necessary safety measures of course, and there’s an umistakable positive vibe as the wheels of tourism begin to move again. Councils across the

Costas are investing heavily in promoting their well-publicised and hidden treasures, keen to draw holidaymakers back to where they should be, while at the same time budgeting millions to help the industry along the way. As Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez, said in his pre-end of State of Alarm speech: “Now it’s time for recovery, laying the foundation for a new economy. There is another lasting tribute we can pay to those who have been on the front lines and to those we have lost: to put this country back on its feet.”

WE did it. We followed the instructions of our President, Pedro Sanchez, regardless of our political inclinations and by doing what we should we went from being one of the world’s most dangerous countries to one of the safest. Regardless of nationality, we came together and did everything asked of us, living for 98 days in a world that only weeks before we didn’t know existed. We closed our businesses, locked up our children, shielded our elderly and vulnerable, facing a frightening world of social distancing with remarkable dignity in our masks and gloves. Each night at 8pm we applauded those keeping us safe and we formed amazing self-sacrificing groups who cooked, baked, shopped and delivered for others with no thought for themselves. We showed tolerance and compassion as we queued for anything and everything and if we worried about our families’ health, finances and futures, we

worried in silence. As businesspeople we, too, suffered financially but as an essential business we had to continue despite high overheads and little income. Now, after 98 days, the State of Alarm has been lifted and our lifeline to businesses along the coasts of Spain has been restored. “Welcome, we have missed you, and we need you,” we say to returning visitors because we might not be tourist-based but our clients are. We, too want a busy landscape of bars, restaurants, beaches and hotels where visitors receive the best service they have ever had. We want them to buy properties, bring their skill sets here and their families. We want them to rebook in August and October and to come back at Christmas. More than anything else we want our wonderful business community to stop suffering. We don’t want to see any more closures, just busy and contented owners who are being rewarded

NEWS

for their patience and dedication in preventing Covid-19 from robbing more lives while their own were put on hold. As a business community we have weathered recessions, but nothing like that of 2008 and no sooner did we emerge than we were confronted first by Brexit and then by Covid-19. Life will never be the same again, but we are convinced that doesn’t mean this year can’t be turned around. It will be hard and worrying at times, but we are made of tough stuff, us expats, and as pioneers and entrepreneurs we know we shall get through. Good luck to every single business-owner out there: we wish you every success in the New Now. And we are sure that by the end of the year we will be toasting together, celebrating because we all made it through. Good luck, everyone, and remember: we WILL do this!

THE Torrox Town Hall has launched the promotional cleaning campaign ‘Do it for you, do it for everyone’ with the aim of teaching the public the importance of keeping the area clean. Mayor of Torrox, Óscar Medina, pointed out that, “keeping Torrox clean is a matter for everyone,” while explaining the importance of recycling. The campaign also encourages the use of litter bins, both in the streets and on the beaches.

SURVEILLANCE: Lifeguard service with almost 120 people. THE Almuñecar Town Hall has already started the surveillance and lifeguard service on the beaches of the municipality with a total of almost 120 people, 78 security guards and almost 40 lifeguards, along with health workers and coordinators. These people will be in charge of the 19 kilometres of coast, from Cantarriján, on the border with Nerja, to Barranco de Enmedio, which limits on the east side with Salobreña, where beaches of more than two kilo-

metres or numerous coves of different sizes can be found. The mayor of Almuñecar, Trinidad Herrera, stated that “the image of all the people who go to work on the beaches, both in lifeguard and beach surveillance, is a success for Almuñecar, because it is an image that represents safe beaches and that we deserve as residents,” said the mayor after posing with all the aforementioned troops, who were joined by Civil Protection and Local Police.

Greater demand WITH 25 per cent of Nerja’s residents suffering from lack of food during the health crisis and increased unemployment due to local businesses closing, there has been a greater demand for help at the Nerja Solidaria foodbank. Nerja’s Social Services were able to add to supplies with daily food donations to cater to 1,500 families each week. Now, although demand has dissipated as residents are able to return to employment, there are still a high number of those who depend on the service. Judy Rust created the Nerja Maro Via Comida Foodlink which connects growers in Maro who have surplus produce to families in need in the area. With their help and some kindhearted friends she has managed to raise enough funds to cover deliveries of fresh vegetables and fruit from Social Services to those in need for the next two months.

THE beaches of Torre del Mar, La Caleta de Vélez and Benajarafe are the first beaches at the national level to obtain the ‘Safe Tourism Certified’ seal awarded by the Institute of Spanish Tourist Quality. This was announced last Friday morning by the councillor for Beaches of the Municipality of VélezMálaga, Jesús Pérez Atencia, and the mayor of Vélez-Málaga, Antonio Moreno Ferrer. Both have conveyed their “satisfaction” with the confirmation of this new certification. Through new protocols, ‘Safe Tourism Certified’ aims to confirm the implementation of a prevention system for health risks against Covid- 19. The mayor of Vélez-Málaga, Antonio Moreno Ferrer, stressed that “the government team and the Beaches delegation have worked intensively in recent years to make the 22 kilometres of our coastline a benchmark of open, accessible, themed beaches and safe, during all the months of the year.”

GEMA GARCÍA, The councillor for Municipal Services in Nerja Town Hall, has announced that the children’s playgrounds in the town are now open, as part of the ‘new normal.’ The councillor pointed out that users must comply with the established health security measures, such as the use of a mask for those over six years old and maintain a minimum safety distance of 1.5 metres between families and between boys and girls. “I appeal to the

responsibility that Nerjeños and Mareños have displayed since the start of the pandemic, to maintain discipline and avoid contagion.” Nerja’s playgrounds were sealed on March 13, a day before the State of Alarm was decreed throughout the country, due to the concern of the town hall about the risk of contagion in public spaces, and according to the recommendations made that same day by the Governing Council of the Junta de Andalucía.

Silly billy WANTED A DRINK: A small goat was inside the pool of half a metre of water.

ALMUÑECAR firefighters rescued a small mountain goat doe, last week, that had fallen into an abandoned pool in the Cármenes del Mar urbanisation in Cerro Gordo, La Herradura. A spokesman for the firefighters said, “The rescue was requested by a resident of the urbanisation. When we arrived, we noticed that it was a very small goat that was inside the pool that had almost

half a metre of water from the last time it rained. “While a firefighter pushed the animal to one end of the pool for the rescue, another colleague, leaned down and was able to free it,” said the spokesman, who said the goat probably fell in whilst trying to have a drink of water.

THE illustrious philosopher Maria Zambrano and the Foundation that houses her legacy in the Palacio del Marques de Beniel de Velez-Malaga continue to be a key piece of the cultural heritage and tourist attraction of the capital of Axarquía. The mayor of VelezMalaga and president of the Maria Zambrano Foundation, Antonio Moreno Ferrer, explained that on the morning of Wednesday, June 17, he held a telematic meeting with the employers of the institution in which the annual budget of 2020 was approved, worth €207,800, which will be used mainly for communication actions to reinforce the promotion of the legacy of the universal philosopher, the organisation of conferences and the publication of new volumes of her complete works. Moreno Ferrer said that “Much of the meeting focused on the three volumes of Zambrano’s complete works still to be published and on the idea of being able to edit smallformat works aimed at schools and all kinds of audiences,” he added.

Traditions changed

SUMMER EVENTS: The traditional celebration ‘Choque de Pandas.’ THE organisers of the Concurso Tradicional de Verdiales–Choque de Pandas, has announced the suspension of festivities scheduled for September 19 due to the health crisis. The councillor for Culture, Clara Perles said, “Due to its characteristics, it is a fiesta where security measures and distance between people cannot be guaranteed; another option would break its essence and nature.” So far, all summer events in the town have been cancelled for security reasons, such as the La Cala del Moral, Rincón de la Victoria and Torre de Benagalbón Ferias.

A witness alerted emergency services asking them to attend Camino de Algarrobo. Local Police officers from the municipality and firefighters rushed to the scene. The policemen had to use an excavator due to the amount of rubble that the lorry was carrying that had emptied onto

the pavement, according to information provided by the emergency coordinating centre. Although at the time of going to press there was no official data about how the accident occurred, everything indicates that the lorry was going down a hill when its driver when making a manoeuvre to avoid the roundabout, lost control and ended up overturning. It will also be investigated whether it was due to a failure in the braking system.

Fugitive found

WARRANT IN FORCE: Engaged in the transport, export and marketing of drugs. OFFICERS of the National Police have detained a 37-year-old Moroccan man in Velez-Malaga, who had an international arrest warrant in force, having been convicted of a crime of drug trafficking by the judicial authorities of his country of origin. The fugitive known as AJ was located last Thursday June 18 in Velez-Malaga and once officers were able to confirm that it was the correct person, he was arrested. As stated in the search order, the fugitive

was engaged in the transport, export and marketing of drugs. At the time of arrest, the defendant was preparing to cross the Guergarate border post in Western Sahara in a lorry loaded with more than 7,000 kilos of cannabis resin hidden among a load of A-4 paper. The crime committed has a maximum sentence of 10 years. The arrested has been placed at the disposal of the Juzgado Central de Instrucción de la Audiencia Nacional.

The man was a friend of the father of the young man of the same nationality who fell from the same place on June 12 , apparently by accident, and who had to be transferred urgently with multiple injuries to the Hospital Regional de Málaga. For more than an hour, residents and officers of the Local and National Police, tried to convince the man to come down, until firefighters finally moved in to bring the man down. The reasons why the man adopted this attitude are unknown.

Spain is one of the worst countries in Europe regarding the abandonment of pets, as each year 140,000 cats and dogs are left

Ferocious wildfire A FEROCIOUS wildfire ripped through the Sierra Cabrera mountains on Sunday June 21, burning through 180 hectares before firefighters had the fast-moving blaze under control by midday on Monday. The fire broke out early Sunday afternoon. Initial reports said it started in the Llanos de Anton zone of Carboneras, but later reports said the origin was in El Moro in Mojacar. By night-time the flames had raced through easily burning terrain in Mojacar and Turre. The Andalucia Infoca wildfire prevention service reported that five planes and seven helicopters were battling to put out the blaze alongside teams of forest firefighters. The steep terrain made it impossible to get fire engines near to the flames. The intensity of the blaze was such it turned the evening sky in Mojacar a burnt orange, while the smoke could be seen as far away as Aguilas in Murcia. Infoca reported it was a tough night. Some 150 firefighters worked tirelessly until morning to stop the ‘difficult to fight’ fire advancing further, he-

After an anxious 24 hours, there was relief for local residents by midday on Monday when Infoca reported the wildfire was under control. Firefighting teams remained working on Tuesday to ensure nothing was still smouldering. There were no reports anyone was hurt in the fire or of damage to property, but two families were evacuated from their homes as a precaution. The BIIF Forest Fires Investigation Brigade are working to determine what sparked off the blaze.

Has policing by consent become outdated? Political Viewpoint from Spain by DAMON MITCHELL HAVING seen the viral video of a police officer in Hackney, London on the ground being attacked by youths who don’t seem to care about any consequence, one can’t help but think that the balance between democracy and freedom are being pushed to the limits in the UK. Policing by consent and not by force is the philosophy by which the UK has always tried to uphold the law. However, as pointed out by our man in the know when it comes to Spanish politics and rights, Jose Maria Rodrigo “The public respect towards the police in the last couple of weeks is shocking from a Spanish point of view and reflects a political problem which is clearly reflected in society. Without a balance between democracy and freedom towards its communities.” Spanish police have been highly

Spanish policing by necessary force. However, Spain’s three main police forces seem to be able to balance out rights and openness. The Local Police, as their name points out are close to the commu-

nities and police by consent. The National Police are focused in larger towns and cities and deal with harder types of crime and riots. I t i s t h e i r j o b t o p o l i c e b y f o rc e when the situation requires them to maintain the status quo between democracy and freedom for all. The Guardia Civil is per haps the most versatile of the three as they will take the role of Local Police in the villages and back up the National Police when needed in riots. Everybody in Spain has been able to see how these forces’ no nonsense attitude to policing has guaranteed a lockdown which has seen excellent results, making residents feel safe. To be able to police by consent there has to be a balance between communities and its police and from a Spanish point of view “the UK politicians have had a counterproductive attitude towards long running issues which have been reflected these past weeks on the streets of Britain,” said Jose Maria.

Perfect hideaway ALMIJARA RESIDENCE, a guesthouse in Cómpeta - a pueblo blanco in the Andalucian province of Malaga - has won the

European ‘Travel & Hospitality Award 2020’ for being the Best Modern Guesthouse in Andalucia.

AWARD WINNER: Superb views and beautiful rooms. The guesthouse was established in 2017, and is owned and run by South African born, Maurice Jonker and a Zimbabwean, Paul Tilly. “We are very pleased and proud with this immense accolade,” said Mr Jonker. The award was based on the recency, volume and content of guest reviews over five different

review websites, including TripAdvisor and Booking.com between March 2019 and February 2020; interviews with guests and a ‘secret shopper’ stay by two judges. Almijara Residence is already ranked the number one B&B in Cómpeta on TripAdvisor and last year, one of the United Kingdom’s oldest newspapers, The Times voted

it one of the ‘Top 20 Hideaways in Andalucia.’ “This is a great honour for Andalucia, and for Malaga, but most importantly for Cómpeta. Once Spain’s tourism returns to normal, it will be an immense draw card for Cómpeta to claim that it has the best modern guesthouses in the whole of Andalucia.

“The indirect business it will also bring in for local restaurants, bars and tourism companies will be substantial,” said one of the owners, Paul Tilly. Almijara Residence is renowned for their breakfasts, with guests consistently mentioning them in their reviews. “We like to offer contemporary or Spanish twists on firm favourites, such as Watermelon gazpacho, Courgette and Lemon Curd muffins, and Babotie filo pastry cups,” said Maurice Jonker. Cómpeta is a 500-yearold village which has long been referred to as the Pearl of the Axarquia region, and is situated at the base of the Tejada, Almijara and Alhama mountain range with breathtaking mountain and sea views.

Company Reducing carbon emissions faked likes FACEBOOK has announced that it has not only banned the Madrid­based MGP25 Cyberint Services for placing likes on Instagram accounts for profit but will also be taking action against the company. It believes that the company created a special computer tool to gen­ erate likes in order to boost interest in the clients it represented. A spokesperson for Facebook said “The defendant’s service was designed to evade Instagram’s restrictions against fake engagement by mimicking the Instagram official app in the way that it connected to our systems.”

THE John Lewis Partnership, which owns department stores and Wait­ rose supermarkets in the UK has an­ nounced that it is stepping up its commitment to reducing carbon emissions by building a dedicated biomethane gas filling station. This will enable its largest heavy goods vehicles to use a low­carbon alternative to diesel and in addition, it plans to stop using fossil fuels across its entire 4,800 strong trans­ port fleet by 2030. The new biomethane gas filling station will be built in conjunction with Air Liquide and will open at the

Partnership’s head office in Bracknell in December 2020, making it the business’s first on­site gas filling sta­ tion. It will facilitate the conversion of the Bracknell Waitrose fleet to biomethane and complement gas filling stations already in use near to John Lewis and Waitrose regional distribution centres in Leyland, Lan­ cashire, and in Northampton. Serving some 120 Waitrose heavy goods vehicles, the lorries will run on biomethane made from food waste and food processing waste materials rather than diesel which will reduce CO2 emissions by 80 per cent.

Over the next seven years, it is es­ timated the Bracknell site alone will save over 70,000 tonnes of CO2, equivalent to the carbon footprint produced by over 13,000 UK house­ holds. Another addition will be the introduction of 1,750 electric vans alongside 750 refrigerated trailers converted from diesel to electric dri­ ve. In addition, the Partnership’s 1,300 strong car fleet will become 100 per cent electric and any remain­ ing vehicles that could not be con­ verted to biomethane or electric will use hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) biodiesel.

LEGALLY SPEAKING Can they claim for injuries? We live next to the small communal pool on our urbanisation. By request of the president we keep a lookout and report to him if anyone is not behaving by the rules. We had children in the pool without adult su­ pervision and without social distancing, so my husband took photographs for proof. Soon after a group of children and mothers came to our house and attacked us. My hus­ band had scratches on his body and a bite and two of the mothers were punching my face. The next day I had to go to the dentist to have my teeth fixed at a cost of €70. I in­ formed the administrator and requested that perhaps I could claim the €70 from the community insurance. Should I be able to make a claim? C P T (Costa del Sol) You acted with the best interests of YOU AND THE LAW the community in IN SPAIN mind. However, you may not take photographs of children or adults in the swimming pool without their permission. Any at­ tempt to involve the community in a semi­official capac­ ity such as an insurance claim would expose the presi­ dent and administrator to a possible legal action.

BUSINESS EXTRA Profits up EL CORTE INGLĖS has returned its largest profit (€310 million) in the past nine years and has managed to reduce its debts by €638 million to the still not insubstantial €2.73 billion and hopes that the trend will continue despite lockdown.

Record debt FIGURES released by the British government show that it borrowed £55.2 billion (€59.6 billion) in May, the highest figure since records begun in 1996 and the total UK which debt is £1.95 trillion (€2.1 trillion) amounts to 100.9 per cent of GDP.

Race debate COLGATE-PALMOLIVE is reviewing its toothpaste brand Darlie (until 1989, Darkie) as the BLM movement gathers traction. It is popular in the Far East, but packaging shows a man wearing black make-up supposedly based on the character regularly portrayed by Al Jolson.

Tourist industry debt AFTER Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez announced he would make €4.25 billion available for the tourism industry, many wondered where this money is coming from. Several weeks ago, it was revealed that in order to obtain the support of Ciudadanos

for the extension of the State of Alarm, the prime minister had agreed to pledge €2.5 billion in ICO (state) bank guarantees. Most of the balance of €1.75 billion is also being made as loans so the tourism sector will simply increase its debt and hope for the best.

It will all be too late

A DAILY OCCURRENCE: But why are we seeing no demonstrations concerning these issues? AS you read this,

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT

OTHERS THINK IT thousands of black men, women and children are being slaughtered and enslaved in Nigeria. Black genocide is still a daily occurrence in many parts of the world and black youngsters are being killed on our streets in ever increasing numbers. All in all it is an appalling and utterly tragic situation. But why are we seeing no demonstrations concerning these issues? Where are all the marchers and BLM protests? What’s happened to all the black leaders appearing in the media, decrying the situation and urging governments to ‘do something’? Personally I only discovered most of these facts with research. So can anyone please enlighten me why it is that black lives only appear to really matter when members of the white community are involved? It simply doesn’t make sense; unless there is some ulterior motive afoot! Ah well, only time and tide will answer that question. What is more worrying is the amount of air

time the main stream media gives to those who support these ‘causes.’ On the social media, over the last few weeks, numerous, often extremely articulate members of the black community have appeared, decrying the BLM movement and its methods. Intelligent black and ethnic men and women of all ages have been putting forward strong arguments as to why they actually don’t feel oppressed at all and affirming that all opportunities are there for both black and white, with many praising the system and the societies that have made them successful. Why don’t we see any of these people on the main stream? Why aren’t some of them given the same amount of air time that the decriers and dissenters receive? Well I’ll tell you why, the left wing media are the pawns and propaganda outlets of the money men; the true shadowy manipulators of the societies we live in. It is also the reason that large conglomerates, often inexplicably seem to have leftist leanings. This is because left wing policies - higher benefits, nationali-

sation etc, encourage people to rely more on the state, which in turn makes the peasants more manageable. Most of the problems that beset the general public stem from money, or the lack of it. But those who control unlimited amounts, and I’m talking billions or even trillions, have a whole different agenda. The only achievement these mega rich investors crave is power. Running the world and its citizens becomes their overriding priority. To achieve their ambitions they first need to sever the roots, lower moral and bring chaos, division and hardship to the masses. Well they are already succeeding in that. And rest assured there is a great deal more to come. All I can say is heaven help our gullible children. They are the unsuspecting, mostly unpaid, and utterly naïve army of these aspiring New World dictators. Sadly, by the time they realise, it will all be too late. Another Leapy rant? That was the accusation 30 years ago, when I warned about the perils of mass immigration! Keep the Faith Love Leapy leapylee2002@gmail.com

HOME INSURANCE POWER CUTS Power cuts to your utilities are a nuisance. Waking up to a warm fridge, a kettle that no longer works, or finding out you have no hot water. Power outages are unpredictable, but with Línea Directa you can cover the eventualities and know whom to contact when the power goes off. • WHAT ABOUT DAMAGE FROM POWER OUTAGES?

SECRETS: I hope I can keep mine. me.” Yet, here I am. After years of keeping, or probably, discarding secrets, I was a pro. However, as the week unfolded, I found it more difficult to keep my secret. At dinner, with my best friend, after ‘one for the road,’ I broke my silence. The response utter chaos. Then, endless questions. Questions, followed by Champagne. Yes, thankfully my secret, is good news. In fact, it’s the best. But enough about me. H o w a r e y o u h o l d i n g u p ? Yo u know, we’ve cleared over one hundred Corona Days. This evening, applaud yourself. Eat the pasta, raise a ‘Vera Lynn.’ Think of the last few months. Think of the good that’s come of our down time. Days when we managed to catch up on ourselves. Reading the books we received for Christmas, or spending real time with loved ones. It’s been a forced existence, but one I hope you’ve embraced. Tough times, can bring emotions we may have chosen to ignore. Sometimes, these feelings m a k e u s s t r o n g e r. I c a n s a y , emerging from this unusual era, I feel alive. If I can keep my secret for another week, well let’s see... We all have secrets, but as you know - bad news travels fast. For good news, one must wait.

• ARE YOU COVERED?

LAMBE-MURPHY DON’T you hate it, when someone tells you they have big n e w s , b u t t h e n g o o n t o s a y, they can’t say more? Well, this week, I’m that person. I have huge news. Massive. Life changing. Alas, I’m the one who c a n ’t s a y. K e e p i n g s e c re t s i s something I’ve been used to, for most of my adult life. In the past, I’ve written social diaries, for many newspapers and magazines. While the articles were mainly about my life, from time to time, I was asked to write about others. A task, I hope, I always treated fairly. As someone who’s been written about, rather a lot, I chose to report on the good that people were up to. I mean, if you’re going through a break-up, or divorce, does it really need to be splashed across the media? Certainly not. Over time, I found myself gathering so many secrets, and tit-bits of information about people. Sometimes, prominent - from politicians, to high-profile socialites. Sometimes, mind blowing stories. Other times, not so much. Mostly, I didn’t want the information, but I heard it nonetheless. Over the years, I found myself being approached by strangers in nightclubs at 4am, pleading that I never write about them. Some, sending bottles of Champagne to my table. Bottles that remained as untouched, as those who purchased them. The bottles, as they weren’t required. The purchasers, as I had no idea who they were. One Monday afternoon, an ‘unknown purchaser,’ approached my table in a restaurant. His point - to remind me how he’d sent ‘vintage Champagne’ at 4am, the previous Saturday. Before I realised, he purchased more, and joined myself and my friend, at our tiny table for two. Eventually, explaining, he was a “humble car salesman, who mixed in high society” (I kid you not). I drank his pop, and accepted his line, “please never write about

Losing a family companion AROUND a month ago I had to say a very sad goodbye to my baby boy, a member of our family, my friend always at my side. It was a very difficult time anyway and added into that the current crisis, it was problematic to find a vet to do as we wanted and have his final moments with us at home after eating his favourite meal. In the end we had to take Chalkie to the clinic, both myself and my family were absolutely heartbroken as we had to say our goodbyes and choose who would be with him. For anyone that has lost a pet recently I wanted to share this poem with you.

CRUEL MURDERS: Demonstrations for and against causes always seem to start well before going too far.

DAVID WORBOYS DOES our perception of skin colour over-ride that of nationality? Does a white Englishman relate more closely to a black compatriot or a white American? Let us imagine that the cruel murder of George Floyd had occurred in Milton Keynes; that a white English policeman had knelt on the neck of a black British innocent man called Foreman Patterson. Would the United States have reacted as we have reacted in England to Floyd’s death? I would suspect that, because Patterson is not American, whatever the demonstrations in the UK, it would not have attracted much attention across the Atlantic. And we have a kind of precedent. In 2005 Jean Charles de Menezes, an unar med, innocent citizen was shot dead by police for boarding an underground train, following instructions from Metropolitan Police Commander Cressida Dick. The response was not global protests against murder by the police. On the contrary, Cressida Dick was showered with a succession of honours, promoted to the highest office in the police force and recently honoured as a Dame of the British Empire. This response goes way beyond the usual kind of cover-up by the Establishment. Apparently, Jean Charles was mistaken for a terrorist because he did not look British enough.

This tragedy did not involve the gratuitous brutality meted out by too many American police, but it was a cruel slap in the face for the family of Jean Charles. He happened to be a decent law-abiding white Brazilian. In the UK he has been long forgotten. What if he had been a US citizen? Demonstrations for and against causes always seem to start well before going too far. We have seen this with Women’s Lib, Gay Rights, Save the Planet and even Animal Rights movements. Protests turn violent and demands become more extreme and more inappropriate. So it is with statues. There should be no statues to any person who has owned or traded slaves, regardless of how those slaves were treated or how philanthropic the slave owner had otherw i s e b e e n . H o w e v e r, t h e i r c r i m e s should not be removed from history books. This would be akin to Holocaust denial. I believe statues of leading figures who simply had controversial views should remain. In the democracy I was brought up in, these people are entitled to their opinion. If those views have not been expressed to incite violence, discrimination or oppression, they should remain as part of our history, warts included. Black lives were not persecuted by Churchill, Gandhi or, certainly, Mandela. In their differing roles they were all champions of freedom. In the US ‘Gone with the Wind’ is being questioned; in the UK it’s Fawlty Towers. How sensitive are our societies becoming?

CHALKIE: We had to say our goodbyes.

Asleep in My Heart If I could have but one more day, We’d walk again our favourite way, Two friends together as before, But no, alas, you’re no more. No ball to throw, no bowl to fill, Your lead hangs limp, your toys lie still, No welcome home, no peaceful snore, An empty space upon the floor. If I could hold you once again, I’d kiss your head, I’d call your name, I’d whisper gently as we part… You’re safe asleep within my heart. Goodbye Baby boy.

YOUR STARS FOR NEXT 7 DAYS ARIES (March 21 - April 20) A conversation with a colleague brings insights into how others live and it is quite an eye-opener. Friendships are particularly important this week. TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) There is something in you that needs a creative outlet. Perhaps you would like to write a book: memoirs, for instance, take up a craft or paint. GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Being very much in demand for your talents this week means less time to spend socially, so it’s important to make time for loved ones at the weekend. Someone seeking your advice may simply be seeking your approval for an action they are going to take anyway. CANCER (June 22 - July 23) There may be some opposition to your ideas as Pluto turns this week. Perhaps your natural charm just doesn’t seem to be working. As you have helped others in the past, make it clear that you expect a bit of co-operation. LEO (July 24 - August 23) This is a week when progress is fast and plans run ahead. Try new ideas and seek information to hone your knowledge. An organisation that is new to you offers insight and social involvement. An offer that thrusts you into the limelight might be avoided at first but would be to your advantage.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Having suffered a bit of a setback last week, you may be feeling less confident. Revving up your social life will certainly help to bring spirits up again. Be with people who liven or inspire you in some way. SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Thoughts come to you, perhaps in dreams, that are creative and energy boosting. Someone who recently moved out of your sphere is sadly missed but is in some ways still a part of you. A person at work who has been causing you concern needs investigation. SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Look ahead to see how exactly you can make this winter extra special. The future, excitingly, holds deep pleasures and delights. All you need to do is decide what they could be. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) It’s a better week for travel with less likelihood of delays. Should you be feeling a little lethargic and sorry about recent events, just count your blessings. Consider raising some money and having fun by indulging in a garage or car boot sale.

PISCES (February 20 - March 20)

Although you have perhaps been looking to moneymaking ideas to progress finances, think also of alternatives. Perhaps there are areas of your lifestyle where money could be saved. Items that are not used could be sold for a profit and rid you of clutter.

Satisfaction with your love life is paramount this week, and the opinion of others seems important to you. Perhaps you are looking for an excuse to make a change. It is possible that a change is not required so much as a different approach.

Smooth operator PRESSURE DROP: Keep a light touch and hold back on pushing too hard.

Knowing Right From Wrong With Bipolar Disorder Is a bipolar person conscious about what is right and wrong at the time they do something wrong?

FOR some women, shaving irritation is a big problem meaning that they can only shave every other day. A safety razor is the best thing for achieving a smooth shave. Two important points for shaving are that it is essential to avoid using soap and never try to shave with dry skin. With the right amount of pressure, you can have an irritation-free experience without having to shave a couple of times. Hair grows in all directions so, remember, you don’t always have to shave upwards, try shaving in different directions.

Some plastic razors will not allow you to shave with the grain in the same direction as your hair is growing. You will find that with a proper safety razor, you don’t have to shave over the area again and again. The main cause of irritation is too much pressure between the razor and your skin. Keep a light touch and hold back on the pressure over areas like shins, kneecaps, and ankles to avoid cuts. Angle your razor at about 30 degrees from your skin and hold your skin taught with one hand as you shave.

Duchess of delights FOR those of you who wonder how the Duchess of Sussex always looks radiant we have a few answers for you. Meghan likes using natural alter natives in her skin routine like organic Botox or essential oil-based cosmetics and opts for a surgery-free option to keep her face relaxed and stunning.

The secret is called Bespoke Sculpting Inner Facial, a massage used to get rid of stress from the inside out, It activates the lymphatic and circulatory system, strengthens muscle fibres, drains tissues, removes toxins and highlights facial contours. It was discovered that excessive stress causes you to tightly clench your

jaw whilst you sleep. “On the days I do this treatment, my cheekbones and jawline are way more sculpted,” the Royal said during an interview. The Duchess is such a big fan of these relaxing facials she even has an at-home special massage routine to make sure that the great results last longer.

SCULPTED CONTOURS: Opt for a surgery-free option to keep your face relaxed and stunning.

THE answer is a YES and NO… depends on the person, and how severely ill they might have been at the time the behaviour happened. For many of us living with bipolar disorder we can experience psychotic episodes at some point during our illness. Psychosis involves loss of touch with reality. So during that time, someone with bipolar disorder may be acting under the hallucinations or delusions. Under these circumstances, we aren’t aware of our actions. Bad sleeping patter ns or insomnia, is a common problem for people with bipolar disorder. Sleep is extremely important, and sleep disturbance most often triggers mood episodes. I monitor my sleeping, and over the years h a v e learned that on my third night of disruptive sleep or lack of sleep I should start to worry and also mention it to a family member. Its also important to distinguish what kind of sleeping problem you are having, is it trying to fall asleep but unable to ? or is it that feeling of ‘not needing to sleep,’ or is it just feeling tired constantly… That feeling of tiredness is usually linked to the depressive side of bipolar whereas the not needing to sleep can be linked to the ma-

nia side. When manic, your sense of boundaries are screwed. That filter that most people use and have in place no longer exists. You can come across as rude or harsh. Also during the mania ,I also don’t fully remember how down I feel during the depressive times, which can be hard for your loved ones to know where exactly you are in your cycle. One day you’re full of life and the next you can be down in the dumps. However being bipolar should not be a get-out-of-jailfree card. We usually manage to hide the worst side of ourselves from people that don’t truly know us, as we tend to be on ‘edge’ and only feel comfortable and s a f e around people that do know the REAL us, so we do have a degree of control over our actions and behaviour, however we don’t often know right from wrong in that split moment, usually when everything settles down we can see reason. I would love to hear your opinion on this, write to me on the email below or follow me on Face book @mswillowbipolar. Love Ms Bipolar x

JOHN

SHARPLES

MANY expats pack their bags and go back to blighty when they are ill. I can’t understand this. The health service in Spain is superb and I should know. I have used the service in the Balearics, the Canaries and in Andalucia and I haven’t a single complaint about any of them. Some time ago I was diagnosed with cancer, like thousands of other people. The care that I received was absolutely spot on throughout my operations and my chemo and radiotherapy. EveRyone was cheerful and polite and extremely helpful. Although my treatment ended a few months ago, the ongoing care is faultless. I didn’t expect it to be very good through the lockdown but it was. Some of my appointments were cancelled and the oncologist called me instead. One time, however, I told the doctor that I wasn’t

FEATURE

Should I stay or should I go

ON THE MEND: I highly recommend you should stay here and get better here. happy with just a phone call and he booked me in to see him the following day. When I went to see him, he gave me his private email address and

his private phone number so that I could call him if I felt unsure about anything or if I felt I needed to see him again. I felt the need to call him on

a couple of occasions and he called me back within the hour and made an appointment for me. During lockdown he sent me an email so that I

could carry it in the car in case I was stopped by the police during my trip to Malaga. Everybody that I came into contact with was kind, considerate and extremely professional. I just know in my heart that I wouldn’t have had better healthcare care anywhere else. Now that the treatments are over and I am dealing with the side effects on a daily basis, that friendly attitude is still there, from the pharmacists who have been giving me my medications, to the local clinic, nurses and my GP. I can honestly say that I was never worried about the fact that I had cancer. The doctor told me that it was curable and that I was going to be alright. They told me a few weeks ago that the tumour has gone and I just hope that it stays that way, So, if you are taken ill and you are entitled to health care here. I can highly recommend that you should stay here and get better here and not go!

Fear of Sharks and the ‘New Norman’ SUZANNE MANNERS MY local public swimming pool has reopened to much rejoicing from the flabby flat dwelling hoards, myself included. Even better is the new online appointment system which in one foul swoop eradicates the pre-swim stress of whether or not the lanes will be chock full. The system is very civilised, the swimmer chooses a date and time from the list. Your temperature is taken and off one plunges into the fresh chlorinated water of the 50-metre outdoor pool. Utter bliss! Swimming allows me to free my mind and to work through anxieties or problems in much the same way as a good long walk along the beach… except for one very clear difference... fear of sharks!

SWIMMING: Allows me to free my mind ... except for fear of sharks! As my thoughts eddy and flow, the lizard part of my brain sits up like an over caffeinated Meerkat and starts to search out dangers. I have a fear of deep water. I don't like not knowing what lurks beneath me. Now you might

think that a public pool would allay those fears. The rational part of my brain understands that there is no possible entry route for the much maligned prehistoric fish and that the likelihood of being attacked by one whilst floating on the

water’s surface watching the bored soccaristas watching the swimmers is non-existent. However this does not prevent a momentary and vivid flash of the first scene of jaws hurling itself into my mind and having a good kick around. I remind myself that the dark shape beneath me is the change in tiles (although last week it was an old man wearing flippers and a mask!). Human beings are deftly fooled by their imaginations and mine is probably weirder than most and deeply affected by my late mother’s love of slasher movies when I was a child. I see dead people... and serial killers... and dodgy clowns and monsters and when wet, great hulking sharks with lots of teeth. This weird imagination of mine likes to sit on my shoulder and whisper sweet nothings into my ear at most inappropriate moments. My eyes glaze over and I smirk knowingly. I have been told it gives me a look of intense concen-

tration and deep thinking, whereas in reality I am probably pondering the likelihood of Batman ever asking Robin to marry him. I have an almost Pavlovian response to puns, malapropisms and misheard lyrics. The latest of which is the constant repetition of the phrase the new normal which my mind has now twisted into the ‘new Norman.’ As a consequence I have now invented a whole new person called Norman who has just had an epiphany and changed his entire outlook on life. In my world he has quit his job teaching Geography and is now lazing on a tropical island making friendship bracelets for the tourists. Norman is a new man and is a happy hippy. Good for Norman I think whenever I hear how this or that is the new normal. As a sideline BTW Norman makes necklaces from shark’s teeth. Toodle pip!

ALL LIVES MATTER DEAR Euro Weekly, I don’t always agree with Leapy, but this week, he is right. Black lives matter, but so do the lives of people of any colour. The removal of statues of historical figures involved in the slave trade, only tells one side of the story. Black tribes, have rounded up and sold slaves from other tribes, for centuries, to Arabs, before whites became involved, so black people should take some of the blame for this deplorable exploitation of their own people. Historical events, cannot be changed, but also cannot be erased, we should all move on in mutual respect for each other. Yours Sincerely Ed Naughton

Expat family in Catalonia left penniless by corrupt lawyer create GoFundMe page to save their children from life on Barcelona streets What a dire situation. Don’t they work? Have neither of them a job? They need to find work and rent a flat and put a roof over those boys heads otherwise they will end up losing the children too. A legal case could take months, maybe years and a lot of money. The priority is to take care of the family first and for this you need an income from work, a flat to live in and food on the table. Only then when you are secure can you go after the lawyer. BLM: Be respectful.

OUR VIEW The bigger picture DURING the Covid isolation period in Spain it was very, very rare to see homeless people on the street any longer. You would get to see the same old faces in doorways or outside supermarkets but they disappeared. When I eventually did see one, I was walking home from work as I am classed as an essential worker, there were two known homeless men and the police passed by without giving them a second glance. These men were local, they had no safety masks and am pretty sure they weren’t using hand sanitiser. What it made me think is that if there was the possibility of ridding the streets of homeless people and beggars now, during a health crisis, surely that means that the space is constantly available to shelter and provide for them. Local sports stadiums were said to be at capacity from sheltering them and various ordinary homeless shelters. Now, most of these people survive on handouts from the public and during the pandemic, there was also no public in the streets, no holidaymakers. How did they manage? I did fear that they would be an easy target for the virus and also that it sadly may kill a huge number of them off. However, I am happy to say that since the virus has begun to disappear, those faces have reappeared. A friend, I suppose you could call him, Jose Luis, survived through the virus, sleeping in the streets with nobody to collect coppers from, he had not been able to get a space in the local stadium. In talking to him recently it did bring up the point that if the government can provide them with basic food and the means to stay alive and shelter during a crisis, why can they not do this any other time when these people are suffering, ill and dying? Is it something that will change because of this realisation? Let’s hope so.

CORRECTIONS

Barbara Windsor’s Husband’s Heartbreaking Message - “She will be in a care home soon, it’s the thing I’ve always feared.” A very moving two-part documentary. Epitomises the sadness and pain of not only sufferers, but also carers. Having had both parents suffer from the disease, brought back sad memories of the longest and cruellest goodbye.

Good old days Dear Euro Weekly News, I don’t know what programme Leapy Lee has been watching, far from BBC showing left-wing

COMMENTS FROM FACEBOOK

bias, the interviews conducted on BBC breakfast TV have been deeply embarrassing, acceptance of everything the government ministers have said and questioning nothing. In fact, had it not been for Piers Morgan on GMB, this government would not have had to answer any questions regarding their shambolic incompetent handling of this pandemic. Regarding the Panorama programme, I found it very interesting and nostalgic that a government could count a pair of protective gloves as two pieces of PPE, it took me back to the time I used to watch on our black and white TV with my late parents the Fugitive on Sunday night where Dr Richard Kimble searched for a one-armed man every episode to prove his innocence. It would be informative if Leapy Lee could list all the things the Johnson government has done right to combat this pandemic, may I be bold enough to suggest a rather short column. Regards John Tosh La Marina

Poetry corner Hi Leapy, Boris so incensed me I had to vent my displeasure as follows: Prime Minister you were high in my estimation And doing all the right things, But now you have slipped down that greasy pole And catching some arrows and slings! Until you get rid of your ‘special advisor’ As useless as pie in the sky, I won’t vote for you ever again ‘Til Cummings has gone, so bye-bye! Sincerely, (Mrs) Mary Groser (age 90 going on 35!)

THE shriek my mother emitted when she saw her bluein-the-face darling dangling upside down and being thwacked on the back by a huge black hand set all the china in the house rattling. Filled with fury and fear, mum screamed at John, the family gardener: ‘What the hell are you doing?’ At that point a marble shot out of my gullet, ricocheted off the floor and put a neat little hole in a nearby window. ‘I just saved Barry’s life,’ mumbled John as he backed out of the hallway. I’m sorry I came into the house, madam, but I heard him choking.’ I got the marble lodged in my throat back in 1952 when I was five, and most likely would have died had the young African not acted so swiftly.

EGOMANIAC: Trump brandishing the ‘holy’ Bible. His apology for entering the house was understandable. In South Africa, in that era, very few black male servants were allowed into white homes, but housemaids - or ‘girls’ as they were demeaningly called even if they were north of 50 were tolerated as they weren’t seen as a threat to white women. Seven years later I was rescued by an African who spot-

ted me lying bleeding in the street. I’d been pelted with rocks by a gang of white Bible-toting churchgoers - not kids, but adults! - who assumed that, because I’d been spotted near a synagogue, I was Jewish. My rescuer snatched me up and, cradling me in his arms, carried me to the local hospital. Taken together, these incidents instilled in me a great re-

BLM: This is important to me. spect and affection for Africans while all around me people loathed them. Sadly, just as gay people were forced into self-hatred and fear by ignorance and bigotry, many blacks came to regard their colour as a vicious trick of nature. Here a

poignant extract from Fats Waller’s 1929 song, ‘Black and Blue’ (1929): What did I do to be so black and blue … I’m white inside but that don’t help my case / My only sin is in my skin … Black Lives Matter is important to me because I have seen firsthand what happens when people believe the opposite. But I think the destruction of statues of long-dead imperialists and slave-traders is a dangerous distraction and plays directly into the hands of fascists. What needs toppling are living people using their positions of privilege and power to please white supremacists evil egomaniacs like Trump who had BLM protesters teargassed so he could stand outside a church to brandish a book which has caused humanity more suffering than any other: the ‘holy’ Bible.

INTERNATIONAL to read more visit www.euroweeklynews.com Violent rampage Test and trace KALUA, the monkey at Kanpur Zoo in India, is fond of liquor and eating meat, however, this addiction caused him to go on a violent rampage, killing one person and injuring 250 more. The primate, who will remain in a cage for a long period of time after this incident, was raised by an occultist who was very fond of alcohol and who would feed the monkey atypical food. When this man died, Kalua developed a dangerous withdrawal syndrome from not being able to satisfy his addiction.

THAMES VALLEY police have identified the suspect responsible for the fatal stabbings at the Reading park terror incident on Saturday, June 20. The suspect is believed to be a 25-yearold Libyan asylum seek-

They soon found him on the streets of Mirzapur where he lived, attacking anyone who crossed his path, Kalua had already bitten more than 30 children when he was caught by the Mirzapur Forest Department team. The monkey attacked anyone who would approach, but especially women and children whom he launched at and chased. Several children have had to undergo plastic surgery after the animal tore at their faces. The vet at the centre assures that they began to give him vegetarian food after learning of his case, but that his habits did not change.

Suspect arrested er named Khairi Saadallah. The Thames Valley Police’ Counter Terrorism Policing have declared the stabbing attack as a terror incident. The attack resulted in

three fatalities and several other people injured requiring hospital treatment. The investigation is now being handled by the UK’s counter-terrorism police.

THE UK will switch to Apple and Google technology for its Covid-19 test-and-trace app, its home-grown system was not working well enough on Apple’s iPhone. The test and trace programme is reportedly key to reopening the country but has been dogged by problems. The app developed by the National Health Service (NHS) was initially expected to be rolled out nationwide in May but did not materialise. Dido Harding, head of the test-and-trace programme, and Matthew Gould, chief executive of the health service’s technology unit NHSX said “We have agreed to share our own innovative work ... with Google and Apple, while using their solution to address some of the specific technical

Google/Apple app to be used in the UK. challenges identified through our rigorous testing.” The original system was used and positive tests numbered over 85,000 people but of those over 25 per cent couldn’t be contacted. The spin from officials was that they admitted that the change of tack on the app was unplanned, but denied that it was a setback. But Apple and Google’s model has frustrated the government as they are putting the priva-

cy of customers over the technologies’ usefulness. The U-turn happened after the NHS app, which was being tested on the Isle of Wight off the southern coast of England, was found to work well on Google’s Android operating systems, but not on Apple iPhones. However, Britain wants further improvements to the Google-Apple platform, meaning that the original hope of a launch last May is set to be missed by months rather than weeks.
