Hero swimmers EWN recently brought you an interview with Dionisio Torre who along with Bart de Rooze has been swimming along the coast of Granada to raise awareness of the need for bone marrow and blood donations to help fight against cancer in children. As an example of the tough journey, Dionisio and Bart were at one point able to cross the 16 kilometres of the Strait of Gibraltar in five hours, but this past Sunday they struggled to cover the 10 kilometres between the beaches of Calahonda and El Lance due to the strong gusts of wind and current. The adventure of this past Sunday started in Calahonda was the sixth stage, after leaving from the border with Malaga, a little over a month ago. For Dionisio, it was a bit of a frustrating stage “but at the same time very beautiful, for such a cause as the donation of marrow and blood.”

No reserve
FREE SPACE: Punishing those who leave their belongings to reserve spaces. AUTHORITIES in Torrox have been pursuing those who leave their belongings on the beachfront to reserve spaces and then go home to eat or take a nap. This summer, the town hall is increasing the controls to put an end to this happening, with the aim of guaranteeing space for the maximum slots permitted, avoiding the risk of contagion. Last weekend, both the Local Police and Proteccion Civil focused on the two most popular beaches, those of Ferrara and El Morche. So far, a hundred sanctions have been imposed. The removed items can be recovered by the bathers in a municipal deposit upon payment. “This year we add the issue of the Covid-19 as an additional reason to be responsible and not to leave items that occupy a space that, for reasons of capacity and distance, can be used by other users,” they said from the town hall in a statement. Actions of this type are also taking place in Velez-Malaga.
Police reinforcements NERJA is reinforcing its policing with the creation of two new posts. The town council has received nine applications in-
ternally and externally for the Local Police positions, and the selection process will begin on Thursday, July 30.
Councillor for Security, Francis Arce, said he is satisfied with the progress made in the selection process “since, with these two addi-
tions, there will be five officers on the Nerja Local Police squad, which will result in better service and greater security of our municipality.”

Leapy Lee Triumphs in Readers’ Poll DURING the time of lockdown here in Spain and for a short period after, it seemed that the expatriate community were revelling in the concept of a new normal in which neighbours helped and supported each other and joined each other on balconies to applaud the fantastic work of healthcare professionals. However, slowly but surely, as people have spent more time in isolation behind their keyboards and screens, there appears to be an insidious change. On social media, there seems to be a great deal of rather pointless arguments and sniping when people disagree with one opinion or another. It now seems that it’s not just confined to social media as recent defamatory comments made in other newspapers are a prime example of this trend. This has spurred Euro Weekly News on to take a serious look at what we allow to
appear in print. One important question we were forced to ask ourselves concerned long time columnist Leapy Lee and the opinion on whether he says what our readers think or is a reactionary voice of an outdated past.
Euro Weekly, therefore, decided to give our valued readers their say and created a reader’s poll simply asking whether it was time for Leapy to move on or let him have his say. The results were frankly staggering, with a massive
74 per cent approval rating from readers keeping the faith with our long-time controversial columnist. Leapy is his own man, with very strong opinions about a number of things, and although he has lived in Mallorca for several
years, he has never lost his affection for the United Kingdom and this is why he feels so strongly about the fact that it appears to have changed so much over the last few decades. In his younger days he used to spend a lot of time
in Ladbroke Grove during London’s swinging 60s and was a lover of the new music coming out of such clubs as the infamous Mangrove, he had many West Indian friends and joined in at the very first Notting Hill Carnival, which was a melting pot of London’s many cultures. He also enjoyed an eightyear stint in Saudi Arabia which he looks back on with great pleasure and insists he has no problems with immigration or Islam but absolutely can’t stand what he sees as the lack of gratitude and intent to assimilate once a small percentage of first and second-generation immigrants arrive in the UK. Leapy Lee may be Marmite to many but his weekly observations are not likely to either bring the western world to its knees nor inspire a worldwide revolution. Therefore, thanks to you. our readers, Leapy is here to stay!

ONE week on from the introduction of a new residency document for UK Nationals protected by the Withdrawal Agreement and some changes to the application process, HMA Hugh Elliott and Secretaría de Estado de Migraciones (Ministerio de Inclusión, Seguridad Social y Migraciones) Hana Jalloul recorded a joint message for UK Nationals living in S p a i n . Yo u c a n v i e w the video here https://www.youtube. com/watch?v=KNxM to6g8ko. The Ambassador and Minister acknowledged the many questions from UK Nationals about the new system
and sought to provide clarity and reassurance. They were clear that the green residency certificate (whether A4 or credit card-sized) remains valid proof of residency status and rights under the Withdrawal Agreement, even after the end of the transition period. Speaking about the introduction of the Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjero, Secretaría de Estado Hana Jalloul said: “If you already have a green residency certificate, you don’t have to apply for a new status as a resident in Spain, and the documents you already have as an EU resident in Spain remain valid. “And most important-

before December 31 your rights are guaranteed... I encourage anyone who does not yet have your residency certificate to apply to the immigration authorities as soon as you can.” Launching the video, HMA Hugh Elliott reminded UK Nationals of the rights protected by the Withdrawal Agreement: “You will be able to continue to live and
work in Spain. UK state pensioners will continue to have lifelong healthcare access as long as they remain living in Spain (this also applies to residents who claim a UK state pension in the future) and your UK state pension will continue to be uprated. That’s why it is so important that you register as a r es i d ent as s oon as possible.”
The Ministerio de Inclusión, Seguridad Social y Migraciones has published a comprehensive Q&A document (in both English and Spanish) to provide answers to the questions UK Nationals may have about their residency status and the new process. The British Embassy is updating its Living in Spain guide ( gov.uk/ livinginspain) to reflect the new residency process and will be providing further information on www.face book.com/britsinspain. To end the video, Hana Jalloul said: “Many of you have built your homes here and we want you to stay... You are part of the Spanish family.

A judge has just had to out rule the Catalan Government’s confinement ruling of Lleida, pointing out that only the State of Alarm can confine people and this has to be decreed by the Central Government. What is concerning is that the way in which the Local Government decided upon this, by either acting upon ignorance or solely a decision to step on the citizens’ basic constitutional rights without further caring about the bigger picture. The worrying outlook is the way that freedom of speech and movement is being handled all around the world which gives the appearance that Covid has given a carte blanche to a totalitarian mandate.

UK Economic Stimulus ALTHOUGH a relative unknown prior to catapulting to the role of Chancel lor of the Exchequer just a few months ago, Rishi Sunak who was elected to Parliament in 2015, seems to have taken the economy by the scruff of the neck in his Summer Statement. His wideranging programme is meant to try to stimulate the British economy as the country emerges from the Covid19 pandemic but these all have to be paid for at some time in the future. Whilst generally well received,
many pensioners fear that they will have to help pay the cost by losing their triple lock pensions for the next few years as the government cannot simply keep printing money and hop ing for the best. Many will be delighted by the fact that he has temporarily removed stamp duty on any sale of property valued at up to £500,000 (€550,000) which means that a buyer’s saving could be as much as £15,000 (€16,500) at the upper limit.

Huge Boost for Elstree
Due to a technical error in last week’s edition we have repeated the article of legally speaking.
Registering property In 2006 we bought a semidetached house in Albox in Almeria. Our solicitor informed us that the property was fully legal and the Escritura was good. Then we found that the house had never been registered for IBI, the real estate tax. We employed a lawyer to request registration for IBI. We spent thousands of euros on measurements and satellite fix ing. Then we were told that there is a Horizontal Divide on the property, which has to be legally removed. We now need a minor building licence to do some small repairs using a builder. I find that I cannot do this as I am still not paying IBI and because I cannot obtain an AFO. Could you possibly shed some light on a way forward? D T S (Costa Blanca) Our best suggestion is to contact the Abusos YOU AND THE LAW Urbanisticos No An IN SPAIN dalucia association. There are tens of thousands of ‘illegal’ homes in Andalucia and this association was formed to defend them. What you need now is a certificate of segregación to establish that your proper ty is legally separate from the main property. This is for the Land Registry and then to the Property Registry.

ONE of the perceived problems that many potential travellers see is the lack of insurance in case a holiday maker is diagnosed before or during their trip with Covid19. Many insurers simply stopped sell ing travel policies when the UK gov ernment recommended against un necessary foreign travel but now things are changing and at least one

NEW STUDIOS: Work has already started. THE British Film Industry con tinues to be strong and inno vative, attracting producers from all over the world and now, following unanimous approval from Hertsmere Borough Council to grant planning permission, work will begin on Sky Studios El stree. This new stateoftheart film and TV studio will be equipped with the latest equipment but equally im portantly it will become the most sustainable film and TV production site in the world when it opens in 2022. Sky Studios Elstree next to the existing studios will be come home to a host of Sky
Originals, created by Sky Stu dios, as well as major film productions from Universal Pictures, Focus Features and Working Title, and television series from Universal Studio Group. It is expected to attract some £3 billion (€3.3 billion) of production investment in its first five years and will have 12 sound stages which can be merge to create a 60,000 sq ft stage if needed. Building and ongoing staffing is expected to employ more than 2,000 people and local businesses will see additional income as production staff and actors will be staying in local hotels whilst filming.
Covid-19 Insurance insurance company is accepting the risk. Insurefor.com has now written a travel policy which specifically offers cover for Covid19 risks and covers cancellation if the traveller is diag nosed with the virus within 14 days
of due travel date and also covers medical costs should the traveller catch the virus whilst abroad and ad ditional costs if they have to extend their stay. There are a number of exclusions but these are made very clear on
SPANISH bookmakers who agreed not to advertise their ser vices when La Liga matches re turned to TV screens in empty stadiums are not happy with the way Spain’s government is mov ing. It has now sent proposals to the European Union concerning fairly harsh new gambling laws which the gaming companies be lieve is designed to favour the State Lottery and ONCE. With the proliferation of on line gambling companies based in Gibraltar and the huge rise in UK gambling, Spain intends to control how and when Spaniards should gamble.
Gold price HISTORY shows that in times of crisis, be it war, financial or widespread disease, many people turn to gold as a way of storing wealth and hope fully profiting in the long run. At the beginning of July, the yellow metal broke the $1,800 (€1,599) barrier for the first time since 2011 and with the threat of negative interest rates is likely to at tract many buyers. Individuals should never purchase proof gold coins which are priced far higher than spot, but should look at modern bullion coins direct from government mints.
Zara India EVERYTHING that Spanish Group Inditex touches seems to turn to gold and profits for Zara in India for the 2020 fiscal year are up 45 per cent to just over €12.25 million which doesn’t seem a lot, but the India market is growing dramatically. It has two trading agree ments with Indian company Trent Ltd (part of the massive Tata Group) to run both Zara (22) and Massimo Dutti (three) stores on the subcontinent and owns 51 per cent of each busi ness.
their website and this does appear to be the first realistic travel insurance policy for those who want to travel but need financial protection in case the worst scenario occurs. Naturally all those involved in the Spanish hospitality area will welcome any venture likely to encourage British visitors to make Spain their holiday destination.

It believes that due to its size, it is in a position to offer a cheaper ser vice to banks than they can manage if running their own cash machines and it has a vision of purchasing the rights to supply bank machines and then consolidate them. Currently each bank has its own machine and on a high street you might find five machines all charging different prices for customer use, al though for some time, Santander has

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT
FEATURE
I’m trying to make a point
THE British people are frightened. Many I have spoken to feel lost, adrift and vulnerable. At a time when they need the support and strength of their leaders, the older citizens in particular, feel they have been abandoned to a whole new creed of unfamiliar values and customs that appear to take complete precedence over their own. Is this not a terrible indictment of the UK authorities? Those who are supposed to look after the well-being of the citizens they are paid to protect and serve? Today I was talking to a friend, who told me he was recently attending a local hospital where he entered into a conversation with one of the resident doctors. The subject got around to the Covid virus and specifically as to why there were reports that a considerable proportion of ethnic minorities seemed to be more affected than their white counterparts? The doctor told him that in his, and most of his colleagues’ professional opinion, the reasons were that many from ethnic areas hadn’t followed the directions of the authorities. For some time they had simply carried on as normal, and, re the Leicestershire factory incident, basically taken
FREE SPEECH: Double standards need to be addressed and rectified before it is too late.
hardly any notice whatsoever of social distancing. But this is not the point I am endeavouring to make. My friend also told me that when the doctor began relating these opinions, his voice dropped to a conspiratorial whisper and he began looking nervously around, in case he was being overheard. Is that not a frightening and completely unacceptable state of affairs? Here is an intelligent professional
man in an important and respected position, actually afraid to be overheard stating what he considered the truth, in case he is branded a racist and possibly puts his job on the line. And have no doubt whatsoever, had he been overheard by anyone who decided they were ‘offended,’ he would almost certainly become the subject of some form of enquiry and could indeed have lost his job.
Someone really needs to take all this soul destroying, opinion muzzling, racist nonsense by the scruff of the neck and shake some common sense into it. It is being used as a weapon. It is successfully eroding the very spirit of the UK and its people. The expression ‘Black Lives Matter’ is a blatant suppression of free speech. It is plainly confrontational and presents no opportunity of recourse or debate whatsoever. By contrast, woe betide those who choose to quite lawfully display the slogan ‘White lives Matter’ or even ‘All Lives Matter’; they have been chastised and dropped on by the law like a ton of bricks, either for racial incitement or at best far right activism. No wonder the indigenous British public is confused and worried. These double standards need to be addressed and rectified; before it is too late. The people I actually do feel sorry for are the genuine immigrants, who are attempting to integrate and truly are an enriching addition to their new, free and generous country. Ultimately, it is surely they who will suffer the most. Keep the faith. Love Leapy leapylee2002@gmail.com

A life without music, is a life without air
LAMBE-MURPHY
ON MONDAY: Happy to take it slowly. than happy to abide by. In fact, by taking Monday slowly, the week seems to flow better. In extreme contrast to the tranquility of Monday, on Sunday evening I went for a run at sunset. Heading from Los Monteros to Cabopino, I was shocked, if not angered, to see large groups of people packed into the various chiringuitos. Certain places rammed with dancing people, as DJs pumped out house classics. Don’t get me wrong, as much as I love Morricone, I also adore house music, disco, jazz and opera. However, after a lockdown that felt as if it would never end, to witness such disregard for social distancing rules, my blood boiled. Hundreds of people without a care in the world, and worryingly, bar owners happy to take their cash. Yes, we need the economy to reboot. That much is obvious, but can these people really be so stupid to believe this will end well. A couple of weeks of partying and spending, could easily end with many more months of lockdown, as a second wave develops. You know what they say - stupid is, as stupid does. Hopefully the stupid people will wake up soon, or be forced to do so. I dedicate this column to my dear friend, Princess Hermine de Cler mont-Tonnerre, who passed away this week, following a motorcycle accident earlier this year. You will forever stay in my heart.

Want an Apartment on the Beach? MIKE SENKER IN MY OPINION Views of a Grumpy Old Man
GAVIN ON Monday afternoon, following lunch at home, I sat in the shade of the trees in my garden, staring out to sea. The announcement of the death of Ennio Morricone, came as something of a jolt. Having always adored his m u s i c , a n d f i l m s c o re s , I l i s tened closely as Radio Clásica played tribute to the Italian maestro. I watched, as people moved slow-paced along the beach, in high temperatures, while yachts glided, to and from Puerto Banùs. Life was calm, and somehow, I felt tears fill my eyes, and roll down my face. The music, moved me in such a way, that I was unable to control my emotion. Of course, there are certain types who will say, to cry is a sign of weakness. I beg to differ. Sometimes the power of music can move us so deeply, and transport us to moments in our lives, that perhaps we had subconsciously forgotten. As if adding to the overall feeling of nostalgia, the radio was slightly out of signal, making it feel even more surreal. I remained in the same spot for the duration of the broadcast, only moving to refill my wine glass. Without doubt, one of the most important figures in music history, his passing made me reflect on the number of wonder ful movies, for which he has created the soundtracks. Cinema Paradiso being my favourite. The music, reminded me of old friends and happy days, which, even though sometimes I may not recall, I carry with me always. Without realising, I sent messages to each of those who crossed my mind. Strangely, but I suppose not surprisingly, they agreed that each time they hear certain pieces, they are reminded of me. I sipped my wine and smiled. My darling mother, has always insisted that we have a family rule Monday is a day of rest. Our family, usually take a long lunch, and allow the week to warm up, before diving in. It’s a rule that I’m more
16 - 22 July 2020
NINE years after moving here permanently we made the major decision to not have any assets in the UK so we sold our family home there. We purchased a couple of beach apartments to rent here so that we would get a small income from short term holiday rentals. This has worked well for us as we did everything legally - got licences etc and got them up to government spec. Fast forward to the last few months everything stopped and all the bookings we had cancelled. This wasn’t too much of a problem because most people were happy to rearrange for later on this year or just wait till next year. We, of course, have a booking form which clearly states that the deposit is non-refundable and we recommend that our clients have travel insurance. One or two people asked for their money back. We pointed out the Ts and Cs and said we would gladly provide all the required documentation so they could
claim on their insurance. ‘Oh, we haven’t got any.’ We explained that was their problem. It can’t become our problem and we can’t be the only losers because they haven’t taken travel insurance … can we? So not only have we got empty apartments with no idea when they will rent again, to add insult to injury some toe rag decides to break in and squat for a few days. He used the washing machine, shower, bedrooms, towels, and sheets and nicked the TV on his way out. Here’s a bit of info for you. If someone squats in your place and you don’t report it within 24 hrs they have rights and it’s not just a case of sending the police round to evict them. To be honest though the police were fantastic and after we made a denuncia they sent along a forensic team to check for fingerprints. We once had a burglary in the UK and the police didn’t send anyone as they didn’t have the manpower. They told us to claim on our insurance and gave us a crime number. The insurance company here were brilliant too. They fixed all the locks and helped replace the damaged doors and broken glass. So, anyone want to buy an apartment on the beach?

DAVID WORBOYS IN assessing the greatest composers, personal taste has to be compromised. I prefer Mendelssohn to Bach, but I would never claim the former to be the greater. The assessment of musical scholars, conductors and other interpreters is to be taken seriously. The c o m p o s e r s ’ v e r s a t i l i t y, the expression of their music in numerous forms at the highest level is what sets apart the six pre-eminent from the great specialists (such as Chopin, Ve r d i and Mahler). These are Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Schubert and Brahms... and, of course, Beethoven. So what sets Beethoven apart from the other five? Because of the depth of his understanding of humanity, Beethoven’s music offers something for all hu-

Beethoven - The music
BEETHOVEN: His music is one of the greatest legacies in history. man conditions and senses. If we want to reflect on love, we can listen to the Romances for violin. For adrenalin the finale of the Fifth Symphony or Piano Concert No 1; for pure enjoyment the Choral Fantasy; for reflection on sorrow the ‘Pathetique’ Sonata; and for peace of mind and communion with nature the
Sixth Symphony (‘Pastoral’). I n h i s s e a rc h f o r u n d e r standing, Beethoven chose to break all the ‘rules’ of musical composition. As an example, in the Moonlight Sonata he mixes the tempos so that an emotional farewell to a loved one breaks into rage at his loss; his Fourth Piano Concerto uniquely opens with solo pi-
ano and his Ninth Symphony, probably the most famous piece of all classical music, was another revolutionary masterpiece. It introduced choral music, the Ode to Joy, into the symphony, thus paving the way for Mahler’s mighty Second (‘Resurrection’). The Third (‘Eroica’) Symphony took classical music to a new level in its structure and depth. It is about life’s struggles, challenges and victories. There had never been symphonic music like this before. The concept of fate in the Fifth reflects the composer’s own life plagued by terrible illness, loneliness and deafness, ending with his triumph. The riveting finale of the Seventh conjures up soc i a l i n t e rc o u r s e - ‘ t h e apotheosis of the dance.’ The Ninth expresses his ideas about universal brotherhood and love.
The five piano concertos, with their beautiful melodies, illustrate the transition of music as he takes us from the classical to romantic (personal) era. They are all masterpieces, as wonder ful on the ear as Mozart’s. And his string quartets have even more depth than those of Haydn. Haydn and Mozart likewise gave us beautiful music which goes to the heart. As music entered its greatest era, Haydn was the bud, Mozart the blossom and Beethoven the fruit - the ultimate product of the evolution. His life was blighted by numerous physical ailments but his courage and his musical brain triumphed. He overcame deafness by using the sounds in his imagination as he painstakingly wrote down his ideas. The result is one of the greatest legacies in history.

LOTTERY UK NATIONAL LOTTERY
FOR NEXT 7 DAYS ARIES (March 21 - April 20) After a relaxed weekend, it might prove difficult to take up the reins of work again. However, midweek sees you trotting along happily and minding your own business when someone stops you in your tracks. When a challenge is issued, your natural stubbornness comes to the fore.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) With a mind as sharp as a needle, you spin through the week, weaving your own charming spell. A bit of extra confidence works wonders for your mood. Something that you read sets you thinking about doing some writing or creating something artistic, perhaps even a musical.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Although energy is not high, there is the need to have some kind of challenge. With the brain active, it is an ideal time to plot and plan your next moves. Maybe something that has been delayed might now be advanced. You find it hard to choose between opportunities.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) The imagination stirs and the heart races at a suggestion this week. Your strong intuition tells you it is the right thing to do. You are a constant friend, but such an adventure may mean an absence from someone close.
LEO (July 24 - August 23) Reading the small print or being sure what is offered in a personal encounter is most important this week. Leave nothing to chance or you could be out of pocket. When discussing the future with someone close, you are expected to take the lead.
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Being over-generous with cash midweek could see you making a poor move. Perhaps someone needs to be more hardworking or perhaps less of a spendthrift. Propping up a bad habit would be doing them no favours.
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) A suggestion made by you recently did not

IRISH LOTTO Sat 11 July
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Confidence in a close relationship should be maintained. Possibly someone who envies your position would like to see discord. A matter of spiritual or religious faith is questioned, but the answer comes more clearly and sharply than you would have thought. In discussions with yourself (sometimes the best kind) answers come easily.
SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) An emotional cut-off from the past is not as bad as anticipated. Indeed, it confirms in your mind who you are and what your place in the world is. Inherited traits knit easily with your present life and bring contentment. All that you want to change at the moment are certain things round you that have been outgrown.

AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) You realise this week how liberating it is to share your thoughts and feelings with someone close. It is not always easy to do this, until you realise everyone has them. Some hopes and dreams are more attainable than others, of course, and someone has to find out which are which.
PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Time is precious this week because you are in demand. A chance lost in the past presents itself again but won’t be too easy. Holding back just a little makes you more desirable. A want to travel could be cramped by financial considerations. If making extra money is too difficult, consider sharing something of value with someone else.

Much is happening in the background that does not require your attention but, all the same, be aware. Life may be like a game of chess, but this week if you turn your back an opponent may cheat.

LAW AND ORDER
OUR VIEW Got it infamy THE latest Hollywood blockbuster gracing our screens and our papers seems to be ‘The Life Story of Johnny Depp’ or this is what Depp’s libel case against the Sun newspaper appears to be turning into. For those who have missed any of it, Johnny Depp has accused his ex-wife Amber Heard of being a ‘sociopathic’ abuser and denied that he is a ‘wife-beater,’ as was printed in the Sun. Whilst Heard claims that the actor attacked her, has a severe drink and drugs problem, and flew into fits of jealous rage. Videos and photographs have been used in evidence which in some opinions, look completely staged by Heard to show Depp in a poor light and goad him into interaction. On reading excerpts from the court transcript, Depp has already adopted the role of his Captain Jack character foregoing simple ‘no’s’ and ‘yes’s’ during being grilled about what happened on a flight where it is said he kicked a chair which in turn hit her and choosing to answer: “That’s quite a stretch of her imagination.” Or “No ma’am I wouldn’t,” and when asked about verbally abusing her on the same flight, “Not under those circumstances I would not. There are possibilities where that kind of thing might come out of my mouth depending on what came out of her mouth prior, but I did not go into a rage on the flight in front of all these people.” As for Heard’s role, there are witness statements and recordings that include her saying, “You got hit... but I did not punch you. I did not f**king deck you. I f**king was hitting you.” Also in a quote from Depp, “Amber severed my finger with the second of two thrown vodka bottles at me in the early afternoon of Sunday March 8.” Whatever you take from it, these are dangerous allegations and violence is no laughing matter. If you choose to think that a young lady was trying to build her acting career by marrying a huge star, abusing him until divorce which in turn elevated her profile and leave with some of his money. Well, that’s your decision. You might also think that a drunken, drug-taking rich man made himself an easy target and that made him angry enough to break a bottle of wine and get angry. We all deserve our opinion.

Hi Editor, The call from British residents for the government to use our Army would not be needed if the UK police force did their job properly. Here in Spain, we do not need to resort to using the Army, since the Local Police, National Police and Guardia Civil keep law and order to protect law-abiding citizens. In England, the police politely asked someone trying to burn the Union Jack flag on our London Cenotaph “please desist and come down.” Here in Madrid, we all know what the law enforcement officers would say and do, so I much prefer to live here in relative safety. I rest my case. Yours sincerely, Brian Johnston Benalmadena Costa

Power of hope Dear Euro Weekly News, My god!!! Is the council crazy? The most important place in the summer, for tourism, is the beach. Both Lampola and Platgetes are in a condition like I have never seen before in my 22 years as a resident. Lampola especially is a total disgrace. Access to the sea is very nearly impossible. Today I have seen numerous people risking serious injury attempting to enter the water, and my wife and I have had to assist several elderly people, trying with a lot of serious difficulties, to enter and come out of the sea. We have also witnessed many families leaving the area after a very short time, with small children, being denied safe access to the water in the soaring heat of the day. The townsfolk and restaurateurs etc are about to have one of the worst, if not the worst, trading year in recent times and yet the council is doing nothing to help their cause, by allowing the beach to be in this truly disgraceful state. Tourists, if there are any to come, will not be best pleased and this could have a knock-on effect for several years to come. The Blue Flag is flying in total contempt for its meaning. All this aside, the state of some of the approaching streets and the lack of cleaning and removal of sporadic rubbish is also something not to be proud of. Tr u l y i n 2 2 + y e a r s t h e w o r s t a d m i n i s t r a t i v e council I have ever known. A disgrace to Moraira. Paul Souber Teulada Moraira

The Art of Dissembling or Liar Liar Pants on Fire!
PURPLE SKIRT: Do I suit this or not?
a friend (indeed I did) who found it impossible to tell a fib. This lack of dissembling, along with malapropisms that fell from her mouth with hilarious regularity, were part of what made Anna, Anna. The skirt example kind of originated from her. I lent another friend a lovely little purple Rara skirt (Oh those were the days!) which she duly donned and then asked the fateful question of Anna and I “Does my bum etc etc” to which Anna replied “No you’re just too big to suit it.” Knowing Anna as I did this was not unexpected but my other friend was mortified. Anna, however, had her uses. She never told a lie therefore was a wonderful barometer of truths both large and small… and made us giggle especially
when she went off on a tandem or discussed pigments of her imagination. White lies save hurt feelings and prevent conflict and are necessary to successfully navigate the dark seas of adult relationships. Anna found it difficult to maintain meaningful relationships having limited access to the liferaft of untruths at everyone else’s disposal. At times she could seem belligerent in her honesty, almost arrogant. Knowing Anna as I did I accepted her honesty and knew that it did not come from a place of meanness and her words were never meant to hurt... although undoubtedly hurt they did. Which leads us to ponder the need we have as humans to hide the truth from ourselves.
We kid ourselves that the jeans are tight because they shrunk in the wash or that the job was not ours because the employer was looking for someone, older/younger/ less experienced/more experienced. He hasn’t called because he lost the number. It gives us comfort to not have to look at our own failings and if like me you constantly list your own failings ranking them from most obvious to least, it’s nice at times to pass the blame onto exterior forces. Honesty can be exhausting. The real answer to the question “Does my bum look big in this?” should be “Yes... of course it does, you know it does, but does it really matter? You like the skirt, wear it and to hell with what anyone else thinks.” Toodle pip!

h t y Big fat m
THERE are many myths about how to lose body fat, mostly related to food and sports. However, the only secret to lose extra pounds and achieve both healthy weight and fitness is to change your habits through a balanced diet and regular physical exercise. MYTH The myth that only cardio helps you lose weight is one reason why many people train solely on the treadmill. But the most recommended formula to get rid of excess accumulated fat is to combine cardiovascular exercise with functional and toning exercise. Cardio will help you burn calories while toning will help you maintain muscle and an optimal shape. MYTH Another of the most established myths about weight loss is the idea that carbohydrates must be
eliminated from the diet to lose weight. The body gets most of the energy it needs through carbohydrates, making it essential in a balanced and healthy diet. If more energy (carbohydrates) is consumed than burned, the body stores it in case it needs it later. Unfortunately, it does so in the form of body fat. MYTH Physical activity does not counteract a poor diet or compensate for a high intake of calories. Sports, if not complemented with a balanced and healthy diet, can even cause you to end up increasing weight. Nutritionists recommend eating a diet based on fruits, vegetables and legumes, reducing meat consumption and avoiding sugars and
Healthy minds MOST of us are aware that physical exercise is beneficial for the health of our body and the regular practice of sport has an endless number of external and internal benefits. The external benefits include fat loss, muscle definition and improvement of strength. Whilst internal benefits include cardiovascular health, increased motivation and improved mood. The combination of both creates an ideal relationship between an active body and a fit brain. Anxiety and depression have been improved in those who include the practice of sport in their daily routine. Numerous studies, confirm that physical exercise is effective in helping to treat or prevent this type of disease. When practising physical activity, the brain releases serotonin which directly influences your mood. Scientists have repeatedly investigated
the incidence in the brain of leading an active life and have shown that it greatly improves the ability to concentrate. Studies confirm that the practice of recurrent cardiovascular exercise improves this capacity in only a few months. As physical activity encourages the generation of neurons in the hippocampus, the brain area related to memory, it therefore helps to improve memory and keep it intact for longer. The Spanish Society of Neurology reported in 2019 that regular physical exercise has direct effects on learning and memory, and helps to keep the brain in good health in general. Depending on the type of sport you decide to practise you will find different effects. However, they all have a common denominator: comprehensive wellbeing.

Surviving summer with bipolar
Anyone else struggling to keep up with their social life this summer?! MS BIPOLAR UP AND DOWN WITH BALANCE UNEDITED I LOVE summer. Lighter evenings, longer days, warmer weather, summer dresses, sunkissed skin. Generally speaking, as seems to be common with most people I speak to when the sun is out, I’m in a better mood. However I find the summer months to be an immense struggle - gatherings, beach days, pool days, BBQ, all of a sudden my social life is quite busy! The lighter evenings and longer days meant more time counting down the hours until it was dark enough to go to sleep, it’s exhausting ! The warmer weather meant more plans to try and not cancel last minute and, as a result, more excuses to make up. I sometimes can’t even muster up the enthusiasm to decide what to wear each day. Perhaps it’s all a little easier to understand in the winter. It’s dark, it’s cold, most people are spending evenings at home not really doing much. If I was having a particularly bad day / week / month, it didn't feel so wrong to get home from work, change into my pyjamas and stay indoors. Yet when summer rolled around, it seemed as though everyo n e was out a n d about hav-
ing the ‘best time ever.’ And then there I was, struggling to keep up. For someone suffering with a mental illness, it can be difficult to watch those around you enjoying themselves. I’d mute group chats so as not to be met with the constant plans. “But it’s such a nice day…” people would say, “you should get out the house, it might cheer you up.” A nice walk on a sunny afternoon might do wonders if I’m just having an ‘off day,’ but this is so much more than just an ‘off day,’ and a sunny afternoon isn’t a cure. Bipolar and anxiety don’t care about the weather, your weekend plans, or the birthday coming up that you’d do anything to be able to enjoy. It doesn’t think to itself ‘summer is here, time for me to disappear for the next few months.’ That isn’t how it works. I’m in the fortunate position of having friends I could be honest with. Friends who would still keep inviting me to things ‘in case I felt up to it’ and didn’t judge me when I stopped replying to messages for days or weeks on end. They’d suggest shorter periods of socialising that felt a lot less daunting, and remind me that they were still around if and when I felt up to going out. They know I don’t like to go out late at night so try to meet up early on the evening. Real friends do this! This summer, I am trying to take each day as it comes and enjoy the good days while they last. I think my own experience has also made me more aware of how others might be feeling, and I’d encourage anyone who thinks a friend might be struggling to try to understand and have a little patience. Id love to hear your thoughts on how you try to keep up with surviving summer, email me or follow me on facebook @mswillowbipolar Lots of love Ms Bipolar x

Images of fartons and Jesus pastries via YouTube
My farton days are over BARRY DUKE ‘EAT any more of those and you’ll start looking like one,’ said hubby Marcus as he watched me shell a boiled egg. I snapped ‘It’s precisely because I want to stop looking like Humpty Dumpty that I’m scoffing these things!’ This exchange occurred after my decision to radically change my eating habits. I discovered to my horror that I was having trouble buttoning up all of my lightweight summer shirts. A trip to the nearest clothing store confirmed that, during the Covid-19 lockdown, I had gained weight around my midriff and the only shirts that would fit were XL. Normally I’m a medium. I did better than most during the lockdown because I was accustomed to working from
SWEET TREATS: After constantly munching pastries it’s hardly surprising I put on weight during lockdown. home, but the only exercise I was getting was moving from the computer to the fridge which I’d filled with stuff like cheese dips and chocolate items I’d carefully avoided in the past. Worse still, I developed a taste for pastries, especially the Jesús brand. Given that I was eating heavy dinners at around midnight, and munching choco-
late and fartons at around 6am before going back to bed and sleeping until midday, it’s hardly surprising that I began getting truly out of shape. After the lockdown eased, I typed ‘quick ways to lose weight’ into Google. There I found the Indian Boiled Egg Diet which advised me that the two-week plan requires you to have a maximum of two boiled
eggs per day with other nutritious foods. ‘Eggs are loaded with high-quality proteins vitamins A, D, E, B12 … These nutrients help build muscle mass, improve metabolic rate and brain function, protect you from heart disease and macular degeneration, produce hormones, and strengthen the immune system. ‘When you consume eggs,
you consume proteins, which take longer to digest. Hence, you will feel full for a long duration. The proteins also help build lean muscle mass, which, in turn, helps accelerate your metabolism.’ After vowing to try it, with some trepidation I stepped onto my Huawei ‘smart’ scale - it connects to a phone and tracks all changes in weight, body fat and muscle - and found to my surprise that, between August last year and the end of June 2020, I’d only gained three pounds. But these were concentrated around my midriff, hence the difficulty in buttoning up my shirts. Thanks to five days of the egg diet and some vigorous exercise I’ve shed two of those three pounds, and, by the end of the fortnight, with luck, I should be back to being fit, tanned, sexy and slim. Well, even at 73 one can dream, can’t one?

Olivier does enough Manchester City back in the Champions League competition! THE BLUES: Their twoyear ban is now over. THE Blues have successfully overturned their twoyear ban from European club competitions. The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has announced that the club are cleared of ‘disguising equity funds as sponsorship contributions.’ UEFA issued the ban in February after ruling City had committed ‘serious breaches’ of Financial Fair Play regulations between 2012 and 2016. In delivering the ruling on Monday June 13, CAS said City did “fail to coop-
erate with UEFA authorities” but overturned the decision by UEAF’s club financial control body (CFCB) to ban them. A club spokesman said the decision was “validation of the club’s position and the body of evidence that it was able to present. “The club wishes to thank the panel members for their diligence and the due process that they administered,” he said. UEFA said it noted there was “insufficient conclusive evidence to uphold
all of the CFCB’s conclusions in this specific case and that many of the alleged breaches were time-barred.” The governing body added: “Over the last few years, Financial Fair Play has played a significant role in protecting clubs and helping them become financially sustainable and UEFA and the European Club Association remain committed to its principles.” Cas said also that the fine will be cut from €30m (£26.9m) to €10m (£9m approx).
FRANK LAMPARD admitted Chelsea were struggling with nerves after Olivier Giroud scored the only goal in a 1-0 win over already-relegated Norwich at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday. The victory opens up a four-point lead for third-placed Chelsea over Leicester and Manchester United, who both have a game in hand later this week. “I want more but that can wait. Where we are at as a team and our position in the table, three points is everything,” said Lampard. “If we want to really move on then it can be better. It’s not easy, there is a nervy feeling there for understandable reasons.”
“He’s a big character for us and scoring important goals,” added Lampard. Giroud saw a number of chances come and go in the first half as an attempted lob over Tim Krul fell gently into the Dutch keeper’s arms before he sliced well over the bar when unmarked inside the area. Just as Norwich looked set to hold out until the break Giroud shrugged off Timm Klose to connect with Pulisic’s cross for his fifth goal in eight games. “I missed some I don’t miss usually,” said Giroud. “I lost a bit of confidence but my desire to score was bigger, so I just tried to stay focused and on the cross of Christian I anticipated this header.”
