CARING FOR CARLOTA THE PP of Vélez-Málaga has launched an appeal to all residents and the town hall itself to financially support the family of little Carlota, a four-year-old girl, who needs to undergo expensive treatment to save her limbs, which were severely affected as a result of a septic ‘shock’ she suffered in early August. Spokesman, Francisco Delgado Bonilla, has proposed that the town hall offer direct and exceptional help to this family, whose funds may come, for example, from part of the municipal budget that has not been used throughout the year. “Due to the effects of the pandemic, we have a lot of budget not spent: fairs, airplanes, festivals, the four million
in aid to the IBI, and so on. We must take advantage of it to help this family. I conveyed to the councillor that he has the PP at his disposal in this matter, because it is not the time to think, it is the time to do things, it is the time to help decisively,” he assured. At just four years old, Carlota is fighting a great battle. She has been admitted to the Hospital Materno-Infantil in Malaga for 40 days, where she arrived in a serious condition on August 4, after being diagnosed with sepsis, an infection in the blood caused by a bacteria that paralysed her organs. She went straight to the ICU and after a week with sedation and artificial respiration, she was able to start breath-

PROOF of a panther roaming wild in Granada has come to light as a cyclist has managed to photograph the animal clearly and shared the image. However, now even the most incredulous residents of the town of Ventas de Huelma are worried. The authorities have warned that due to the speed of the animal, which is very elusive, the panther can constantly change its location and have asked residents to avoid going out into the fields or wooded areas until the Civil Guard manages to capture it. Through its Facebook page, the town hall has spread a message confirming that a resident spotted the animal on Tuesday, September 15, at approximately 2pm, “just 20 metres from his vehicle in

The officers have increased the search for this panther in Ventas de Huelma, as a result of the warning given by some residents last Friday, September 11, when they claimed to have seen the animal on the road next to the castle and in front of the town hall.
ing on her own. Now, the girl and her parents, residents of Vélez-Málaga, fight against the consequences, the rush to save her limbs. The doctors who treat her at the hospital have infor med her that she suffered damage to her hands and feet, due to ischemia produced by microthrombi, for which they have to be amputated. “They told us that she would completely lose her right hand and her left foot, her right foot up to the heel and that in principle she would lose her fingers on her left hand,” said Jairo García, the father of the little girl. Given this, Jairo and Marina, Carlota’s parents sought a second opinion trying to ‘exhaust all possible resources’
and have contacted a private clinic in Valencia, where the famous doctor Pedro Cavadas has given them hope that it is possible to recover three of all four limbs damaged. “We sent her Carlota’s medical report and she made another one assuring us that she could save both her feet, and that her left hand had to be amputated, but that it could be recovered through reconstruction,” explains the girl’s father. Still, the cost to save her limbs is very high. For this reason, the minor’s parents have asked for help through social networks and have opened a Facebook page, ‘Ayuda para Carlota’ to raise funds for the payment and operation in the private clinic in Valencia.

PROTECTED: Drawings from the first Dragón Andaluz contest. THE Environmental Department of the Almuñecar Town Hall has registered, in the last six months, more than a hundred chameleons throughout the area, according to the data from Environmental delegate, Luis Aragón. Aragon praised residents who have sent images and data of the sightings, “Thanks to their collaboration it has been possible to know what has been the geographical area in which they are distributed and live, as well as, the months in which most activity is carried out,” he explained. The main areas of
sighting of this species of ‘Dragón Andaluz’ are: El Zahonado, Barranco de Ítrabo, Río Seco, Gelibra, Barranco Boticario, Río Jate, Los Bañuelos, Cantalobos and Taramay. Along with the campaign of ‘awareness and protection’ of the chameleons the ‘first Dragón Andaluz’ Drawing Contest has been held, in which more than 20 drawings were made by children between four and 12 years old. The works were exhibited in the hall of the Almuñecar Aquarium and the exhibition can be visited until November 1.

Diving record THIS summer has seen the diving centres of La Herradura and Almuñecar having broken activity records this summer, despite Covid-19 and the absence of international tourism. Rafael Camacho, from the Natura Diving Centre, said “It has been the best year in its history. The summer has been very good. We do three dives in the morning and two in the after noon and they have all been complete,” he adds, “The efficiency in ter ms of equipment disinfection and mandatory hand hygiene is the basis for success in these times of Covid-19. Although, if something needs to be highlighted, it has been the behaviour of the people who have dived with us, which has been exemplary.” Regarding the profile, Camacho pointed out that this year the demand came from Spanish origin and more specifically, Madrid and Andalucia. “Normally we have a foreign audience of 20 per cent, but this year all the clients have been of national origin. With an age profile in the dives of between 30 and 50 years. “We have had entire families who have dived with us,” he said and pointed out that he plans to keep the centre open all year.

THE Perianda Club together with the Torre del Mar Beach Running Club have organised for Sunday, September 20, a mountaineering ascent adapted to La Maroma, the highest peak in the province of Malaga. The activity, named ‘I Ascensión a La Maroma’ will consist of climbing 2,066 metres in a Joëlette-type unicycle saddle. The objective of this initiative is to fulfill the dream of Alvaro Molina, a 12-year-old boy from Periana, whose dream is to climb the mountain for the first time and be able to enjoy the views and nature first person.

A TOTAL of six bathers had to be rescued on the beaches of Torrox on Sunday, September 13, when entering the sea after ignoring the red warning flag. The first rescue took place around 3pm next to the Ferrara breakwater, near the Lighthouse. Two young Spaniards in their 20’s got into the water and had to be helped by two lifeguards, who helped them out through the jetty. Just two hours later, in the same place, a married couple of foreigners, in their 70’s, also had to be rescued by lifeguards, after the woman had trouble getting out of the water and the

The third rescue was on the Los Llanos-La Carraca beach, next to the dunes. A father and son had difficulty getting out of the water on their own. “It was a complicated Sunday, but thanks to the efforts and courage of the lifeguards we were able to solve the three rescues without major problems,” said López.

Flying High JONATHAN MÉNDEZ along with the Catalan firm Zip-trans Systems SL are putting together a proposal which will see the longest zip line in the world coming to Nerja, if approved. The entrepreneur explained that the estimated investment in the project would be around €500,000. “We are working on all the technical studies and in a few months, we will present them to the City Council, so that it supports us and manages it before the Junta de Andalucía, since it is a protected environment,” pointed out Méndez. “It is time for these spaces to be well controlled and managed, with an innovative element such as a zip line, which would also be the largest in the world, overtaking one in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, which is 2,850 metres long,” the businessman from Nerja has explained. Indeed, the project would be carried out entirely within the natural park of the Sierras Tejeda, Almijara and Alhama. However, for Méndez this “does not have to be a limitation, since it would be a structure with very little environmental impact. The idea is to make the exit structures of wood, with a viewpoint from Los Apretaderos, and then some kind of staircase in the arrival area, to go down to the riverbed,” he detailed. According to Méndez, the project could be combined with the tourist offer in the area, such as a visit to the Nerja Caves, from where the vehicles would depart to access the zip line exit. Regarding the deadlines, the businessman could not specify them, since they depend on the approval of other administrations, such as the City Council and the Junta de Andalucia . “We intend to value, enhance and help improve the natural resources that Nerja has with leisure and active tourism proposals, compatible and respectful with the environment,” he concluded.

Knitted Knockers Cody Fundraiser
KNITTED KNOCKERS is a wonderful charity that helps women from all over the world and it has finally been able to dispatch their gifts again.
The non-profit, voluntary association makes and distributes hand knitted breast prostheses. This lovely charity has representatives in Costa Del Sol and southern Costa Blanca who provide
the hand-made prostheses, free of charge, to women who have had mastectomies. EWN spoke to an English woman living in the Costa Blanca area, who had a double mastectomy this year, “Knitted Knockers have been amazing, I have a pair for swimming and others for everyday use; no-one can even tell that I have had an operation when I wear them.” The charity delivers the ‘knockers,’ which are all knitted by volunteers, to women throughout Spain and all over the world.
And for the first time in months, Knitted Knockers have been able to send a total of 18 pink parcels to the Philippines and four parcels to UAE. In a recent Facebook post, the charity said, “Some ladies have waited several months for their new prostheses. Thanks for your patience, ladies. Your parcels should be with you soon. Thanks also to Sue Ellmer, our treasurer, for her perseverance in trying to post these parcels.” Please visit their website: www.kkscostadel sol.org.

SUCCESS: Money raising quiz for Cody.
CAMPOVERDE has been the stage of a wonderful story as a community has come together to support a small boy who is suffering from a life-threatening condition. Fundraising for Cody and his family has been ongoing but a Quiz for Cody saw even more generosity from the loving community. The quiz raised a whopping €1,303 which will go towards the care and support of Cody and his family. Cody was born with a condition called
Esophageal Atresia, which is a birth defect of the swallowing tube (esophagus) that connects the mouth to the stomach. The event held at the Portobello Bar Restaurant saw an amazing turnout and the organisers thanked: Quiz Master Paul Butterworth, the happy band of Church in the Community helpers, the Campoverde Walking Football team, everyone who so generously donated raffle prizes and everyone who couldn’t be there but donated anyway.

TWO Welsh comedians have collaborated to publish a new collection of jokes, raising money for the NHS in Wales and Torrevieja Hospital in Spain. Gags for the NHS, a book by Phil Evans and Dilwyn Phillips, has been published by Y Lolfa and is already proving that laughter is the best medicine. “Having been an inpatient in Torrevieja hospital on several occasions since moving to Spain I realised how tough it can be working in the hospitals, especially with the current pandemic and how much public support is needed to boost morale. “This is my way of saying thank you,” explained Dilwyn. The author, brought up in Pontarddulais, Wales, now living in Los Montesinos, said, “All proceeds of the sales of this book in Spain will be donated to the hospital. “As well as donating to the coffers of the hospital, buying this book will provide some much-needed escapism and hopefully will bring smiles to people’s faces.” EWN had the pleasure of speaking to Dilwyn after the book’s release.

that gave him his first foray into the world of joke books. At the time, the publishers were concentrating on more conventional subjects such as Welsh railways and castles, but Dilwyn suggested an en-
tirely different path. And his Welsh joke books were born. The success of his books drew the attention of fellow comic, and Gags for the NHS collaborator, Phil Evans. The two, who have yet to meet in person, connected on the internet around six years ago via an appreciation of each other’s work and last April the idea for this book was born. It was actually Dilwyn’s wife that planted the seed for this project. One day she commented that, “you spend so much time in Torrevieja Hospital, you should raise some money for it!” explained Dilwyn. And that’s what he and Phil are doing now. Phillips is now an author of several popular joke collections. As well as gags and puns, this collection contains several funny stories with a medical twist. Gags for the NHS, which is priced at €5, is available in selected shops including Farmacia Fos, Los Montesinos, Citreon Garage, Benijofar, A Fancy That Torreta, Torrevieja or directly from Dilwyn Phillips. When EWN asked Dilwyn to sum up the book in four words, the wonderfully witty Welshman said it will “have you in stitches!”

No to elbows THE ‘elbow bump’ is a gesture that has become one of the images of the pandemic. Due to the danger posed by shaking someone’s hand in case of transmitting the virus. However, the WHO has now said they feel it should be avoided as it can also be unsafe. The moment we meet someone we know and haven’t seen for a long time, the tendency is natural, the body almost leans towards the other person. According to experts, a smile - even if disguised by a mask - should be enough to say ‘hello’ to someone. It’s not just kisses, hugs or even a friendly nudge - the new greeting created during the pandemic, the widely adopted ‘elbow bump’ is now to be avoided.

Political Viewpoint from Spain
THE pandemic is on the rise both in Spain and the UK. Both countries have reported over the last few days the highest number of positive cases since March, which in turn inflicts more restrictions on our lives. Both Boris Johnson and Pedro Sanchez, even though from opposite sides of the political spectrum, have a very similar route, trying to shape our ideas, mainly through propaganda. Generally, both societies are scared but the difference between March and now can be seen in how the public is reacting in a very similar way.It seems that they have been divided into two major groups; the sceptics and the government mainstream followers. The first are scared because their fundamental rights are being cut by a wave of regulations which they consider scientifically questionable and

and the only options at the moment seem to be the vaccine or zero cases reported. Although there are claims that we will have the vaccine by 2021, it took many years to
develop other types of jabs and the flu vaccine is only 40 to 60 per cent successful. On the other hand, PCR tests are also not reliable as they detect a protein in blood which gives
many false positives and negatives. Therefore, the question arises, should tests to detect new infections be stopped? The main national media and broadcasting organisations in both countries have also contributed to the argument by the manner in which they are sensationalising the daily Covid figures. The facts seem to be made scary, to make the news more interesting and economical, which in turn makes it even harder to reach an unbiased judgement. The outcome leaves many questions to be answered, such as, what will happen next month if the number of infections is still the same? Will more businesses have to close? How will people be able to survive? Over the last few weeks, both groups have orchestrated strong arguments on social media platforms, but no one is really in the right or wrong. Or are they?

EXCLUSIVE IN a matter of weeks, an ambitious project to create a halfway house and soup kitchen for the homeless on the Costa Blanca has received incredible support. Euro Weekly News highlighted Project Costa’s aim to support the less fortunate in the area, and the response has been phenomenal. In addition to a fully equipped industrial kitchen, donated by local business, Yorkshire Linen, the team of volunteers has been inundated with much-needed clothes, food and other items. “Thanks to our community’s unwavering support, the official Project Costa ‘Tweety’ support vehicle is fully booked until October and cannot be used to collect any more food/clothing donations,” said project founder, Arne Soeten. “We are looking for volunteers with a car who would be willing to offer any extra time they may have whether it is one hour a week or two hours a day - to help us make collections throughout our surrounding communities. Any time would be greatly appreciated!” Ever since Project Costa was conceived, Soeten and chef Steven Barnes, who both have experience of living on the street, have not stopped. “It IS paying off, with dedication and all the help received from our local citizens as well as our corporate donors. We WILL make it happen!,” said Arne. Meanwhile, chef Steven is cooking up a storm in the kitchen, creating eye catching and mouth-watering dishes, in preparation for the first food distribution in Albir yesterday evening (Wednesday, September 16). The former restaurateur will be responsible for running the soup kitchen at the halfway house in Benitachell. “We here at Project Costa enjoy the same food as those living on the streets.

Project Costa receives incredible community support less,” said Steven. “We don’t use past ‘sellby date’ foods from supermarkets because we believe the homeless have suffered enough and should have proper diet and nutrition.” As EWN went to press, Steven was preparing 40 dishes of pasta salad to give to the homeless from a designated distribution point. “This will be the first distribution so we don’t really know how many people will come, but we are getting the word out there,” said Arne. Project Costa’s Facebook page already has 293 followers and is approaching 300 likes. “This means we’re clearly not the only ones who want to change the world,” posted Soeten. “Project Costa seeks to inspire people, wherever they are, by showing how much small acts of love, kindness and compassion mean to a person in need. “It may be by hugging someone who rarely receives affection, or inviting an elderly or lonely neighbour for dinner, or giving a homeless man a pair of new socks, helping lift a pram off the bus, or carrying the shopping for a stranger who is struggling. “It doesn’t matter what we do, how we do it or where we do it, as long as we do it. Let’s just do it. Let’s bring kindness and compassion back into the world and change the society we live in.” You can donate and check Project Costa’s website to find out other ways to help. https://project-costa.org/ contact-us https://www.facebook. com/ projectcosta2020/ You can find Project Costa in Calle de la Mar, 31, Bentiachell.

HOME INSURANCE ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE
UNEXPECTED DAMAGE: Make sure your home insurance policy covers adequately. MOST people take good care of their homes, but sometimes accidents can happen. Red wine can spill on your lounge carpet, children can knock over glass wear, and dogs and cats can chew at your sofa. So it makes sense to ensure that your home insurance policy adequately covers your contents. WHAT IS ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE? Accidental damage is any damage that occurs to your property or its contents, suddenly as a result of an unexpected and non-deliberate action. General wear and tear or damage that occurs over time, will normally be excluded. WHAT IS COVERED? Insured property is covered up to a limit of 100 per cent of the amount insured for its contents. Línea Directa’s home insurance policies cover accidental damage to windows, glass, bathroom fittings and sanitary ware, marble and glass ceramic hobs … Policy holders can call Línea Directa and check which contents are specifically covered and which are excluded.

Buying debt WORRIED at the financial position of some members of the eurozone, especially Italy and Spain, the European Central Bank has confirmed following its latest meeting that it will continue to purchase government debt, although critics suggest this is just buying time.
Car exports AS the German economy sees definite signs of recovery and Spanish automobile companies start producing again, there is every hope that exports to Germany in particular will be significant in the last quarter of the year and boost the economy.
Job losses FIGURES released by the Centre for Retail Research in the UK show that so far this year, 13,868 stores have closed with job losses breaking 125,000, although their forecast for the year sees shop worker unemployment almost doubling to 235,000.
Ukraine and Spain THE governments of Ukraine and Spain held a formal meeting to discuss areas of economic cooperation and how to expand their relationship. In the first six months of the year, total trade between the two countries amounted to just under €1 billion with the Ukraine taking the lion’s share at €700 million. Although it does have reasonable reserves of natural gas, the Ukraine lost a huge amount when Russia annexed the Crimea and is now looking to increase energy efficiency at which Spain has developed significant expertise.

European confidence was dented when Washington asked for a pause in the talks earlier this year as it be lieves there is room for a voluntary role for American companies. “It’s very clear, the United States don’t want a digital tax (deal) at the OECD. So, they are making obstacles which prevent us from reaching an agreement even though the technical

work is done,” French Finance Minis ter Bruno Le Maire told journalists. Even the EU isn’t completely uni fied on this matter as some countries including Holland and Ireland have benefited from the giants switching profits by setting up accounting of fices in these countries where tax is lower than in other member states. France decided to go ahead and tax American Corporate giants before a final agreement was reached, but America has retaliated with some swingeing tariff charges for French ex ports.
No Tiffany takeover
Is a resident taxed in Spain? My wife and I were in the process of applying for official Spanish residence as we spend ap proximately 160 days a year in Spain. It is our in tention not to go over this. We understand that if you stay over 90 days continuously you must apply for ‘residencia.’ At a meeting with our gestor we were advised that when residencia is granted we would become tax residents in Spain. Is this correct? We will spend at least 190 days a year in the UK. Credit: LEGO

Cryptocurrency ALTHOUGH cryptocurrency is not huge in Spain, its use is expected to grow and recently inaugurated company EuroCoinPay, has asked the Spanish government to introduce regulations to this sector so that it can compete with Paypal and similar companies.

Yes, it is correct. An official resident of YOU AND THE LAW Spain is subject to IN SPAIN Spanish tax on his worldwide income. We suppose that you would apply for the new TIE, the Tarjeta de Identificaciòn de Extran jero. Then you apply to go off the UK tax books and on to the Spanish tax system. If you do not wish to do this, you will then have to abide by the European Union rule of 90 days visit in a period of 180 days, leaving for 90 days after that. It is true that Spain may choose to deem you a tax resident if you spend more than 183 days here.

THE Democrat Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi has made it clear that should the UK override the contents of the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement then there would be “absolutely no chance” of a trade deal. She stated that the Good Friday Agreement which allowed a return to peace in Northern Ireland must be considered sacrosanct so that any
LUXURY GOODS: Tiffany & Co resort to court action. A GREAT deal has happened since last autumn when French luxury brand LVMH which has interests in Luis Vuitton, Moët, Hennessy and much more announced that it would take over Tiffany & Co for an eye watering $16 billion (€13.5 billion). It was to be the largest ever acquisition in the world of lux ury goods, but it started to stutter from the very begin ning as the French govern ment asked LMVH to post pone the deal due to the threat of the US government to heavily tax French products. In addition, Tiffany itself al so requested a delay until Jan
uary 2020 but was ready to go ahead and recommended the takeover to shareholders. Then along came Covid19 as due diligence was being un dertaken and sales of all sorts of goods suffered and global sales of luxury goods are re ported to have dropped by around 50 per cent following the global lockdown, so LMVH wants to pull out. Tiffany are not happy how ever as their board believes that it has complied with all of the requirements of the agreement so is taking action in the US courts asking for an order to instruct LVMH to ho nour the contract.
Culture and society MOST of those involved directly or indirectly in performing arts of all types have suffered directly from both the lockdown and the aftermath of the Covid19 pan demic with work literally drying up overnight. Those who have record con tracts can at least expect that royalties will continue to flow but for the average artist and crew, things have been very tough and the Union of Business Associa tions of the Spanish Cultural In dustry is now pushing for in creased support. Under a new campaign, #La CulturaDebeContinuar (Culture Must Continue), a group of indus try professionals have expressed their “deepest concern” about the current situation.
Record online purchase SWEDISH investment group EQT IX fund is spending €1.3 billion to take over Spanish real estate portal idealista which is said to be the largest ever transaction in Spain involving the purchase of an online company. EQT will hold 85 per cent of the equity with the balance re maining in the hands of ideal ista’s management team, includ ing founder and CEO Jesús Encinar, who will continue to lead the company. Founded in 2000 and head quartered in Madrid, idealista supports approximately 40,000 real estate agents and has 38 million unique monthly visitors across southern Europe.
US Trade Deal doubts Brexit amendment should not hurt the stability between the north and south. In a statement she said “The UK must respect the Northern Ireland Protocol as signed with the EU to ensure the free flow of goods
across the border. “If the UK violates that interna tional treaty and Brexit undermines the Good Friday accord, there will be absolutely no chance of a USUK trade agreement passing the Con gress.”
This is not necessarily an idle threat as although the Republicans have a small majority in the House of Congress, the Democrats have a larg er majority in the House of Repre sentatives, but this could all change in this November’s elections.

Unity call for budget
WORKING TOGETHER: Carmen Calvo wants all parties to agree budget. IT is time for the minority Spanish government to present the 2021 budget to the Cortes in the hope that all parties will work together to allow for a measure of certainty unlike previous budgets where there was considerable difficulty in obtaining approval. Deputy Prime Minister Car men Calvo made it clear that she expects to ensure that pen sions and salaries of govern ment employees are not re duced or frozen as that would only make the economic situa tion worse. She insists that the govern ment is prepared to do what it can to satisfy the needs and ex pectations of the main opposi tion parties on the understand
ing that they accept the overall ‘blueprint’ of the budget and give it their support. Already, Ciudadanos has in dicated that it is unlikely to block the budget, but it is the PP which needs to come on board for the good of the coun try and not oppose the plans as up until now she says that they have basically followed a policy of “vetoing and not helping.” Much will depend on the po sition of the ERC (Catalan left wing proindependence party) which needs to consider whether there is any advantage to Catalonia in blocking the overall budget as that will not forward any of its plans. Although the other right wing party Vox has 52 seats and is certainly unlikely to approve any budget put forward, the minority government if sup
Running out of sweets SEVERAL months ago, Tesco in the UK wrote to suppliers asking for significant discounts on wholesale prices as it intended to match hundreds of prices with German discount supermarket Aldi.

Whilst both companies are coy about the situation, reports in The Grocer suggest that Tesco is running out of some of the most popular sweets.

You’re being ‘gaslighted’
THIS week’s blurb has been partially drawn from the input provided by a member of my small band of faithful contributors to whom I shall be eternally grateful. It is for those of us consistently bamboozled by the pure guff put out by some of our main media outlets; those large numbers of reports that we know have almost no resemblance to actual events. Have no fear, you are not going crazy - you are being ‘Gaslighted’! Gaslighting is a form of brainwashing, aimed at controlling people by altering reality to a point where those targeted begin to doubt their own sanity. The term comes from a 1930’s play, where the main character drives his wife insane by slowly dimming the gas powered lights. When she notices the lights are dimming, he not only denies it, but convinces her it is her imagination to a point where she questions her own sanity. We are constantly being told by the media of situations which are at complete odds with what we are seeing with our own eyes. We see disruption and rioting and are told it is peaceful protesting. We see murderers running amok and

Particularly over the last 12 months, we have seen a positive tsunami of non-white actors and mixed marriages utterly disproportionately featured on almost 90 per cent of our TV advertising, and are informed that black actors and artists are still being discriminated against. We are told that integration and di-
versity is working, yet we witness whole towns being taken over by foreign cultures. We observe areas of our cities being terrorised by non-white gangs and are told it is the fault of the police. You spend your life trying to treat all individuals as equals and abhor racism, but are told you are a privileged racist purely because of the colour of your skin. You know you are not and that the accusation in itself is racist, but when
you try to defend yourself, you are told that your defence is proof of your racism. You are told you live in an environment of true freedom of speech, yet when you speak out you are accused of bigotry and discrimination. Worry not. You are not losing your minds. Crazy people don’t question their sanity. These media perpetrators deal in lies and psychological coercion. What their ultimate aims are is utterly beyond my comprehension. What I do know however is that we have to believe the evidence of our own eyes. Trust your own observations; believe what you perceive as the truth. You’re not crazy. You’re being Gaslighted. Good luck everyone! Many thanks to the gentleman who wrote in to inform me that as SKY had been taken over by Comcast, Kay Burley can no longer be a shareholder in the company. I categorically withdraw my historic observation and can only assume she has friends in some very high places. Keep the faith. Love Leapy leapylee2002@gmail.com. Expatradioscotland Mon. Wed.

DAVID WORBOYS THE Chief Executive Officer of BP is Bernard Looney. Despite his name, it seems that he has never been spotted howling at the full moon aboard an oil rig - or mumbling Shakespeare sonnets on the Bakerloo line. On the contrary, he is a respected model of stability, highly successful in his current role. In interviews he comes across as a tough, but fair leader with charm and a sense of humour. His surname is therefore inappropriate. Why then, does the President of the United States not bear this name? A few months ago, I wrote, with no respect for political correctness, that we can safely assume that the President is mad. I am not mocking the tragedy of mental illness, but, when combined with ego and power, madness can be dangerous - in this case for the world. No matter what his true mental

WHO IS THE LUNATIC?
WHICH ONE?: A respected model of stability or a deeply disturbed, immature egoist. condition, Trump comes over as a deeply disturbed, immature egoist, trapped in a world of fantasy. He has emerged as an ignorant, uneducated and unprincipled disaster. I have met many good people in different parts of the USA conscientious, decent, educated and informed. I have met others who are not so. The same applies to Western Europeans. So, given his record to date, how could a majority of
Americans possibly vote for Trump in the forthcoming election? If they do, does it raise questions over the mental stability of an entire nation? Almost every decision and every suggestion by Trump has been the wrong one. Almost every tweet, every address, every comment he has made is offensive, juvenile and packed with lies and nonsense. He may have had success in business, but he is as much out
of his depth in the Oval Office as he would be at the controls of an Airbus A380. Trump demonstrates a vitriolic dismissal of anybody who does not share his own distorted view of the world and his own racial, jingoistic and intolerant standards. He seems incapable of political relationships and has the diplomatic acumen of a sullen teenager. His only concern is for another four more years in the White House.
Under this leaderless administration, his once respected and powerful country has subsided into a crisis of economic disaster and social unease everywhere. There is unnecessary death and bereavement, resulting from his attitude to Coronavirus, unrestrained policing, the absence of gun control and the hatred, confrontation and anarchy unleashed by his words and his policies. And always, somebody else is to blame. What kind of people could want a further four years of this? Under his presidency, the USA is widely mocked, pitied or despised - even by its natural allies. No wonder Russia and China (despite the sanctions) want him to stay. But he evidently strikes a chord with millions of gun-toting American nationalists and racists, and the millions of voters who appear unconcerned by the damage already done. He could yet win!

Food, Glorious Food GAVIN LAMBE-MURPHY ON Tuesday morning, I had something of a shock. Rearrranging my wardrobe, clearing summer, to make way for autumn, suddenly it hit me months of long lunches have made my clothes shrink.

I’ve given up trying to find out MIKE SENKER IN MY OPINION Views of a Grumpy Old Man A QUESTION - how many people out of the thousands and thousands that were forced into quarantine after returning from abroad have been diagnosed with Covid-19? And if you can find that number maybe you can find out how many died? I can’t find this information anywhere. Maybe I’m looking in the wrong place. I want the confirmed official figures please. If they are not available I want to know why. I think people should be told the number. To be honest I’ve pretty much given up trying to find out. My friends continually ask how things are here and I have to tell them it’s not that bad. The Spanish government seem to be handling it so much better than the UK government who just seem to keep making the most ridiculous rules. New rules for England came into force on September 14 banning people from gathering in groups of more than six. But there are exceptions to the rule - such as people being allowed to meet in bigger
groups at work, in school and for weddings and funerals. The problem with all this is how do you police it? I read over the weekend that some bloke got fined 10 grand for throwing a big party. They might as well have fined him a million pounds because I bet there is absolutely no chance of him paying it. The dairy section of your favourite supermarket carries an array of ‘milk’ options: whole, reduced-fat, low-fat, fatfree, lactose-free, almond, soya, coconut and more. If you are looking for a liquid to pour on top of your cereal you have plenty of options. But are they all milk? No absolutely not! Because there is no such thing as soya milk. It’s soya juice. The same goes for almond, coconut, hemp, rice, cashew, hazelnut, and oat. Milk comes from mammals and there are no lactating almonds. I looked and have not seen any way to ‘milk’ any of these items. How did we ever cope? When we were much younger we went to a cafe or, if you were posh, a Lyons corner house. Remember them? You would order your tea or coffee and it came with either milk in it or maybe in a small jug. Lactose intolerance wasn’t invented yet. What happened? When did it all start?

OUT EARLY
Dear Euro Weekly News, It is such a shame to hear about all these businesses having to bow out of the summer season early due to low customer numbers. It has been really brave of them to try and push forward for so long as I understand it must have been so hard counting customers each day and hoping that they would make enough to pay the staff. The thing is, for all those who will still dare to come on holiday where are they going to go for entertainment? It’s just another nail in the coffin for the expats out there. So sorry to hear about El Oceano and over the weekend I also heard about The Boardwalk in Marbella. Such popular places. Let’s hope they have a fantastic next season to make up for it. Mary Belsey La Cala de Mijas
Big thanks Dear Euro Weekly News, Rather belatedly I know, but I would just like to say thank you for the ‘Scouts’ insert you put on page two of last we-
OUR VIEW Rule of six
AS of Monday, September 14, the UK has been under some new regulations with regard to the Covid virus. The most controversial being the dreaded ‘rule of six,’ which means that any social gatherings of more than six people will be against the law, apart from certain exemptions like work and education. Authorities will be able to dish out fines ranging from £100 to a whopping £3,200. But where on earth did they get this number from, six, why six people? Is it because they worked out the size of a normal place people would congregate and calculated that if they were all to be two metres apart they could only fit six people in there or was it just plucked from the sky? Another random number that dropped into headlines recently was eight, a reduction to eight days quarantine. That sounded a bit better and am sure would have made some people think that the UK government were moving forward. However, it seems to have been erased from their minds as quickly as it was suggested. It seems that there are also different rules throughout the UK just to make it even harder to understand. In Scotland, up to eight people from three households can meet indoors, up to six from two households in Northern Ireland and in Wales, up to four households can form an ‘extended household.’ Do that many households actually spend time with each other? Also, it is said six cannot go to the supermarket together, is that something that happens? That’s a lot of people going shopping. Anyway, some kind of activity is better than no activity and we can only hope they know what they are doing. It’s not going to be a very good family Christmas for some people.

Should life mean life? And at what age? “Definitely if you are old enough to commit the crime, you are old enough to get life and not 15 years.”

Hope to see you next year. ek’s Euro Weekly News (Issue 1834). You might be interested to know that the story has generated some further interest in the Scouts. Eleanor has been contacted by someone (I’m sorry I do not know who) and they are interested in making further donations to the Scouts. So, thank you once again. Richard B Tolman
No faith Dear Leapy, Although I’m not British, I am your fan. I have been following/reading your articles in Euro Weekly News in Spain for some two years, ever since we bought an apartment on the Costa del Sol. In fact, that paper would be totally worthless if it weren’t for your articles in which there used to be some reflection of reality and not just the official narrative ******** like in the rest. However, I’ve noticed that you have become uncritical, especially with this new medical tyranny that is present in a severe form in Spain. But you must have seen clips on social media involving police abuse of those not wearing a mask. I had a similar ‘experience’ where I was sitting with my husband on the bench in the main square and I was talking on the phone. While seated and talking I removed the mask. And then two bullies of the police approached us, treating me like a criminal. The worse one of the two grabbed my phone from me even though by then I duly put my mask on. To cut the story short, this is just disgraceful what’s happening in Spain and how people are treated. If only some of these events would be reported. Regards from me who has lost faith! V Koblar
Money talks Dear Euro Weekly News, Reading all the latest news about Mr Trump really points to the fact that being rich in America can lead to anyone holding the position of presidency in America. The question now is how on earth did the American public vote this individual into such a position? Perhaps the election was rigged. It has become doubtful that this almost insane man was elected to such a position in the world’s biggest and leading democracy. His latest outburst is about having a woman as the president of America. He seems to have a very dim view of the opposite sex. All I got to say is god help America in getting rid of this racially biased and insane man as quickly as possible before he starts World War Three. Yours faithfully, G A Marques

Two police officers critically injured in ambush “Considering the utter contempt and disregard for the lives of the police, this sadly is an event which no doubt will be copied elsewhere. May the two officers make a full, if not speedy, recovery and the perpetrator receive the maximum sentence possible.”

But given how dreadful 2020 has been so far, does it matter when the new year begins - to make that new start and set goals? Whether it’s January or the end of March (the first choice of some with spring truly in the air, clocks springing forward and the feeling that spring gives in terms of hope) or September? Indeed, the tradition of computing the start of a new year with autumn was common to the lands of the Bible and around the

BACK-TO-SCHOOL BLUES FOR BORIS OR A FRESH START? Mediterranean. The summer harvest had ended, crops stored and people prepared for a new agricultural cycle, an appropriate time to begin a new year. Many church calendars (like the Greek Orthodox) therefore start on September 1. So, for many, the New Year (whenever it is) is a time of change. But some things are best left unchanged... Take, as an example, the story I just read about a larger-than-life cleaner who deliberately left every picture

and mirror in her employer’s house slightly ‘wonky.’ He reckoned it was a coded message she’d thoroughly dusted everything. Either that or she was just putting her feet up watching TV then walking round the house, tweaking things so he’d believe she’d dusted them. Years later, she told him she was retiring to her homeland. He braced himself to ask if she’d actually dusted everything or just
tweaked things for effect. She roared with laughter, saying it was a cleaner’s secret! A secret she’d never reveal. She’d lasted longer than all his exwives and previous cleaners and his relationship with her was one of the best. And the lesson he learned from her? Don’t ask questions. Don’t get in the way. And if you’ve twigged a person is capable just let them get on with it, whatever it is. (Maybe a lesson there for Boris, too?)

FOR NEXT 7 DAYS
“The true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.”
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23)
PISCES (February 20 - March 20)
Although you have perhaps been looking to money-making 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, however, that a change is not required so much as a different approach. It is not essential to put all your eggs in one basket.
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 and avoid boring or moaning folk.
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, but the facts may be less alarming than you suspect.
SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) A strong and exciting romantic feeling flows through the week. Someone returning from a trip makes you smile and boosts your spirit. People who have been a little bossy of late finally realise that you will not rise to the bait.
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 at the same time by indulging in a garage or car boot sale. Doing something entirely different can boost your mind and activity levels, which can't be bad.
AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) Eager Mars meets affluent Jupiter and enriches your financial forecast. It might show a foretaste of money to come, or on-stream benefits. If you intend to make alterations to your personal and home interests, you'll undoubtedly cope with both offbeat and upbeat activities.
Audrey Hepburn
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. You have been dashing around and maybe not enough thought has gone into how you spend your leisure time.
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. Learning a new language would also be satisfying. Certainly, food for the brain and soul are what you should be seeking now.

Please Stop Believing These Harmful Bipolar Disorder Myths MS BIPOLAR UP AND DOWN WITH BALANCE UNEDITED ALTHOUGH society is learning more and more about bipolar disorder every day, there still remains many misconceptions. Here are a few myths and facts, so you can arm yourself with knowledge and help end the stigma. 1. Myth: Bipolar disorder is just mood swings, which everybody has. Fact: The highs and lows of bipolar disorder are very different from common mood swings. People with bipolar disorder experience extreme changes in energy, activity, and sleep that are not typical for them. Just because you wake up happy, get grumpy in the middle of the day, and then end up happy again, it doesn’t mean you have bipolar disorder - no matter how often it happens to you! 2. Myth: Bipolar disorder can be cured through diet and exercise. Fact: Bipolar disorder is a lifelong illness and there currently is no cure. However, it can be well-managed with medication and therapy, by avoiding stress, and maintaining regular patterns of sleeping, eating, and exercise. 3. Myth: Mania is productive. You’re in a good mood and fun to be around. Fact: In some instances, a manic person may feel good at
first, but without treatment things can become chaotic and even terrifying. They may go on a big shopping spree, spending beyond their means. Some people become overly anxious or highly irritable, getting upset over small things and snapping at loved ones. A manic person may lose control of their thoughts and actions and even lose touch with reality. 4. Myth: People with bipolar disorder are always either manic or depressed. Fact: People with bipolar disorder can experience long periods of an even, balanced mood. They may sometimes experience what’s referred to as a ‘mixed episode,’ which has features of both mania and depression at the same time. 5. Myth: All medications for bipolar disorder are the same. Fact: It might take some trial and error to find the medication that works for you. There are several mood stabilisers, antidepressant medications that when combined can help treat bipolar disorder. Something that works for one person might not work for another. If someone tries one and it doesn’t work or has side effects, doesn’t mean it won’t work for someone else. Sometimes finding the right medication can take a while. 6. Myth: People with bipolar disorder cannot work. Fact: Bipolar disorder might make work challenging, but not impossible. Because bipolar disorder is associated with mood swings and dramatic changes in behaviour, it can be difficult for people with the illness to maintain being productive In their job. Despite the challenges, it is not impossible to work with bipolar disorder. What other myths have your heard about bipolar ? Or if you have any questions you would like to ask, write to me on the email below or follow me on Facebook @Mswillowbipo lar. I would love to hear your thoughts! Love Ms Bipolar X

YOUR mindset determines everything that happens in your life. If you are negative, opinionated, frustrated or anxious, this is what your everyday life will become. If you are positive, passionate, supportive and energetic, this too is what your life will become. Every human will go through certain challenges in their lives, however, it’s how you deal with those challenges that determine your life’s path. A simple change of mindset can help you become your best self. So many people do not realise how valuable a mindset is. As Henry Ford famously stated, “Whether you think you can, or think you can’t, you’re right!” Every physical aspect of our life is created from our mindset. If you do not learn how to control your mindset, your mindset will control you. If you want a better life, a life that brings you joy, happiness and peace, then you need to start with your thoughts. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy teaches you how your thoughts become feelings and your feelings become your behaviours. For example; It’s Monday morning, your alarm starts to ring, you feel the sense of dread. Another day in the office. You begrudgingly get out of bed, with the initial thought of anxiety, not knowing what today will bring, You have created a negative thought and associated Monday morning with negative thoughts and feelings, therefore, your behaviour will mirror that and your day will be a drag! Now flip this around. You wake up on a Monday morning. You feel energised, ready to take on the day and are excited about what it is you can achieve. You have a nat-

READY?: You are the only one that is responsible for the life you create. ural spring in your step and a smile on your face. Your behaviours will be of a positive nature, therefore, your day will become enjoyable. You are the only person that is responsible for the life you create. No one else is to blame. Whether you have a boss who is hard work, or a miserable household. No one is forcing you to be anything but you. How YOU choose to react, think, feel and be-
have is solely your decision. On September 21, I am running a free five-day masterclass for women only. Here I will teach you How To Set Yourself Free From A Negative Mindset and learn how to live the life you desire. Are you ready to take responsibility or are you prepared to stay exactly where you are today? Contact me via email coachingwithdione@ gmail.com.

It’s Galbani, you moron…
BARRY DUKE THERE’S an excruciatingly funny UK blog called AdTurds that pokes fun at really stupid commercials and invites submissions from people who are pushed by bad ads to the brink of insanity. Responding to the invitation, this week I started a list beginning with ads for Galbani mozzarella which leave no doubt that the Dawn of the Dumb really is upon us. Depending on the version, either a dorky female or fella badly mangles the word Galbani. So you hear them saying ‘Galabanani’ or ridiculous versions thereof. Its purpose is, of course, to get us to stuff more of the brand down our gullets. But what it actually does is portray Brits as imbeciles who can’t get their tongues around a word as simple as Galbani. When the TV version debuted, it sparked a great deal of fury, with normally laid back folk losing all selfcontrol and saying things on discussion boards and social media such
G-A-L-B-A-N-I!
A SIMPLE WORD: But sparks a a lot of fury.
as ‘Just f***ing say Galbani!’ ‘It’s Galbani …GALBANI you annoying thick cow!’ and ‘Find the idiot who thought it was a good idea and hang him.’ I’ll supply the rope. Speaking of being cheesed off, second on my list is an ad for Skoda.
You have a male voice asking ‘Simon, where do you work?’ Simon answers ‘Skoda’ and gets ticked off for not pronouncing it properly: ‘Shko-dah.’ Now if you work for a company, surely you’d know how to pronounce its name, unless you’re as thick as porridge. It’s offen-
sive because, like the Galbani ads, it presents Brits as morons. But the one that’s currently annoying me more than any other concerns the UK’s future outside of the EU. The government is currently spending gazillions trying to convince people that leaving the EU
will bring rainbows, kittens, bunnies and unicorns in abundance. So, what I hear multiple times a day on LBC is ‘The UK’s new start: let’s get going’ ads. They are a version of a statement issued in July by the ghastly Tory toff Michael Gove who said: “At the end of this year we are leaving the single market and Customs Union regardless of the type of agreement we reach with the EU. “This will bring changes and significant opportunities for which we all need to prepare … This is a new start for everyone in the UK - British and European citizens alike - so let’s get going.” Of all the ads that assume all Brits are goggle-eyed ninnyhammers, this one must surely take the biscuit if not the entire packet. ‘Significant opportunities my arse,’ as Jim Royle, of ‘The Royle Family’ fame would say.

West Ham Breeze Through Carabao Cup Tie with Charlton SEBASTIEN HALLER scored twice as West Ham got some respite from their Premier League troubles with a 3-0 victory over Charlton in the Carabao Cup. Frenchman Haller scored two first-half goals to help a muchchanged West Ham beat League One Charlton in the second round of the Carabao Cup. The Hammers were in a mild state of disarray even before a ball was kicked this season, having angered fans and players notably captain Mark Noble with the controversial sale of Grady Diangana to West Brom. It was a much-needed result for the Hammers. They now face either Leeds or Hull in the third round after starting the Premier League season with a miserable 2-0 home defeat against Newcastle on Saturday. Fans protested against co-owners David Gold and David Sullivan, while West Ham captain Mark Noble criticised
WEST HAM: Are now through to the third round of the cup. the club’s lack of ambition following the sale of promising midfielder Grady Diangana to West Bromwich Albion. With Arsenal, Wolves, Leicester, Tottenham, Manchester City and Liverpool on West Ham’s immediate fixture schedule, it was extremely important to avoid an embarrassing exit against third-tier Charlton at the London Stadium. “Probably the only disappointment is we should have won
more comfortably,” Moyes said. “But Seb getting a couple of goals will be good for his confidence. We had Michail Antonio scoring for us at the end of last season and now we hope Seb gets on a run of scoring goals.” Jack Wilshere was notably absent from the West Ham squad despite 10 changes made by Moyes, with the club reportedly wanting to sell the injury-prone midfielder. Bournemouth goalkeeper Asmir Begovic missed a spot-kick but still finished as the hero in the Championship club’s 11-10 penalty shoot-out win over Premier League side Crystal Palace. After a goalless 90 minutes at the Vitality Stadium, Begovic saw his penalty saved by Wayne Hennessey. It was the first miss out of 21 penalties but, after Hennessey blazed over the crossbar, Begovic saved from Palace captain Luka Milivojevic to give Bournemouth a trip to holders Manchester City.
WALKING FOOTBALL LEAGUE HALTED AGAIN AT a Manager’s Committee meeting on Thursday September 10 a narrow 4-3 vote decided against starting the Walking Football League new season on October 4. The consensus was that it is still too risky to put people in the situation where they could be vulnerable to Covid as the number of cases has increased in Andalucia recently, particularly Malaga City. However several clubs have decided that while waiting for the League and Cup competition to provisionally start in January they will play a series of friendly matches to keep up their fitness levels. These commence next Saturday at Calahonda where Malaga (formerly Smiles) with three teams, Benahavis two teams, Aston Viñuela and WFS Calahonda will play a mini challenge tournament. Interestingly Esquina Park Rangers from Murcia will be in Benalmadena for a long weekend and have arranged to play Benahavis on Friday afternoon, October 16 and Malaga A at
1pm on the Saturday. EPR were disappointed at not being voted in to the South of Spain Walking Football League, but after a debate between managers it was felt that while the SSWFL were looking to add teams to the League, a 600km round trip was too much to play a 40-minute match. EPR manager Gordon Sutherland said that while obviously disappointed at not being able to join what will be a strong competitive league, they would look at setting up a similar League with teams in their area. Like the SSWFL they would look for a suitable sponsor for the League. Without doubt Walking Football continues to grow in the south of Spain and anyone over 50 who wishes to recapture the skills of their younger days should check the websites www.walkingfootball spain.com or walkingfooty.com or Walking Football Spain or Malaga Facebook pages to learn where their nearest session is.
