NEW RESTRICTIONS EXPLAINED
NEW COVID-19 measures have been announced for the Andalucia region that see a range of new measures being made available, SHOULD they be necessary, to curb the spread of coronavirus in specific regions or towns. After a meeting on Monday, September 28 and a further consolidatory session on Tuesday, September 29, the new measures were agreed as a necessary safeguard to ensure that the community transmission of the virus is contained. Currently, only Casariche, Sevilla, is subject to the new restrictions with a range of rapid testing occurring throughout the region in 11 other areas to ensure that appropriate monitoring of the wider situation takes place and is as accurate as possible. Casariche will see the town blocked off for two weeks with only essential workers being allowed in and out of the area. The measures that will be at the disposal of the government will include limiting groups to a maximum of six in bars and restaurants, but currently there is no mention of restrictions in a private THE largest wooden pedestrian walkway in Europe, installed over the Guadalhorce riverbed, has now become the main landmark of the Senda Litoral.

groups. Funerals and wakes would be restricted in attendance to 15 people outside and 10 if carried out indoors. Weddings would see a restriction in size to 30 attendees whether in an indoor or outdoor space. Further more, public and private markets would not be allowed to open, however sports facilities may continue to operate but only at 50 per cent capacity. They state that the primary objective is to ensure that the primary health sector is not overloaded by new infections and that the containment of the spread is carried out to the benefit of the wider community. The Junta de Andalucia has accepted that the restrictions, if implemented, would have wide reaching social and economic results and, as such, will ONLY implement if a town, city or region demonstrates 500 cases per 100,000 inhabitants within the previous 14 days. At the time of print, the majority of Andalucia will NOT be required to undertake these measures however, the situation is fast changing and changes could occur regularly.

Care concerns NURSING homes face the second wave of the pandemic in Spain under great pressure. After the ‘abandonment’ suffered in March by the authorities and more than 20,000 deaths, they are now facing outbreaks with depleted resources, ‘exhausted’ professionals and fear of a new primary care collapse. Although they say they are more pre-
pared than at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, the sector lacks clear coordination at the state level and calls for greater public investment to guarantee the safe care that the elderly deserve. One of the most worrying situations is that staff numbers are ‘totally insufficient’ according to the Commissions of Workers (CCOO).

I will if you will Political Viewpoint from Spain by DAMON MITCHELL THE president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, announced over the weekend that she was willing to close all areas and towns with more than 500 infections per 100,000 inhabitants, on the condition that this measure is applied throughout Spain. On Friday, September 25, Ayuso ruled out applying mobility restrictions in all districts of the capital and in municipalities with the highest rate of coronavirus infections, as recommended by the Ministry of Health, and extended the limitations to only eight new health zones, something Health Minister Salvador Illa disapproved of. Given this, Illa urged the capital to review its measures, “We have to take control of the pandemic in Madrid, in other communities it has been done.” Sources from Moncloa have reported that the government plans to take command in the Community of Madrid if it fails to reach an agreement with the Madrid Executive to control the worsening of the coronavirus pandemic. The government would take refuge in
Article 65, which establishes that the declaration of coordinated actions in public health will correspond to the Ministry of Health in situations of urgent need. These disagreements between the administrations have led the spokesman of the Grupo Covid-19, Emilio Bouza, to resign 48 hours after being appointed. In a letter addressed to the heads of Health of both governments, Salvador Illa and Enrique Ruiz Escudero, Bouza refers to the disagreement between the administrations, of different political signs, as the reason for his resignation. Bouza, an expert in infectious diseases, was appointed spokesperson for the team to try to control the coronavirus pandemic in that region. In the letter, Bouza assures he accepted the assignment because those responsible for Health “confirmed to me their will for political harmony and their drive to work together to find a solution to the problem.” However, “the circumstances I have witnessed in the following two days… force me to resign and decline the offer,” said Bouza. This is another example of the lack of governmental pluralism and communication where blame shifting seems to be of higher importance than the public’s wellbeing.

Money is short WHILST the Royal Household has no intention of asking for additional funding, the Keeper of the Privy Purse who looks after the British Royal Family’s finances estimates that there will be a shortfall in in come of £35 million (€38.5 million) over the next three years due to the pandemic. His latest report covers the peri od April 1, 2019 to March 31, 2020 so does not show the drastic drop in
income suffered due to lockdown which saw all of the royal profit centres like Windsor Castle closed. No royal staff were laid off or fur loughed, although a pay freeze was introduced in April as well as a halt to recruitment except to fill ab solutely vital roles, but overall ex penditure continued to increase last year with travel costing in excess of £5 million (€5.5 million).

the BBC were the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s trip to south ern Africa costing just under a quar ter of a million pounds and £15,000 (€16,500) to charter an aircraft for the Duke of York to fly to Northern Ireland to attend a golf tourna ment. At least expenses for those two Royal Dukes will be greatly reduced this year as they retire from public life.
UK Job Support Scheme
Can they name debtors? I live in a community of nine apartments, three of which are in the hands of the bank. We recently changed administrators after 15 years. The new administrator tells me we cannot dis play information about our debtors. Our old adminis trators changed from a list with names to a list with only property numbers. The new administration has given me a list of debtors, but said I cannot display it, under Spanish data protection rules. Is this correct? M D (by email) Yes, it is correct. Spain’s privacy YOU AND THE LAW laws prohibit the IN SPAIN publication of per sonal information to the general public. Now the fun starts. The Horizontal Law establishes that the notifica tion of the AGM must include the list of those debtors who are prohibited from voting. If the members are no tified by letter in a sealed envelope this meets the re quirements. If the notification is by email, these should be individually sent and preferably with password ac cess. If there is a notice board, it should be in a closed box opened by key or code. The idea is to prevent ‘third parties’ from accessing the list.

WHEN the UK Furlough Scheme comes to an end on October 31, it will be replaced by the financially less attrac tive Job Support Scheme which will go some way to help those who are only able to work part time due to their employer’s economic situa tion. The attraction of the Fur lough Scheme was that it paid 80 per cent of the wages of workers who may otherwise have been laid off, up to a maximum of £2,500 (€2,750) per month. The new scheme which is set to last six months works for those employees who are brought back to work part time (where previously they were full time) with the em ployer paying for the hours
they work and the govern ment paying up to £697.92 (€767.71) per month. In theory, the government believes that those who are el igible (they have to work at least one third of their normal hours) will receive as much as 80 per cent of their monthly salary with this support. All businesses are able to apply to take part in the Job Support Scheme, even if they weren’t part of the Furlough Scheme and they will still ben efit from the £1,000 job reten tion bonus paid for each work er who returns to work from furlough. There is also an extension to support for the selfem ployed to ensure they at least receive a proportion of their average monthly income.

Smells like Spain ACCORDING to the owner of Lemon Fresh UK Ltd the differ ence between British and Spanish cleaning products is the smell which is like per fume. So impressed is Ian Colley that after creating an online business selling a range of 190 different Spanish products, he is going one step further and opening a shop in the town of Chadwell St Mary in Essex. Speaking to Thurrock Nub News he said “From air fresh eners that smell like the ocean, to floor cleaners which make your house smell of flowers, we have a huge range of products.”
No Gibraltar budget FOLLOWING in the footsteps of the United Kingdom where Chancellor Rishi Sunak has ruled out the pre sentation of the 2021 bud get, the Gibraltar Govern ment is to do something similar. Rather than present a 2021 budget, it is simply doubling the 2020 budget as it is unable to accurately forecast likely income and expenditure due to the ever changing effects of the pan demic. What has been revealed is that in the first six months of 2020, income was down by £59 (€65) million and a fur ther £23 (€25.3) million was spent on Covid19 precau tions and support. transmit any information, so they contend that there is no possible breach of privacy, but it also recognises that the item has not yet been authorised by the US authorities for sale.

Currency outlook: No-deal Brexit risks take a chunk out of the pound, second wave fears boost the US dollar
PMI FIGURES: Indicate the bloc is at risk of slipping back into a recession.
ASK THE EXPERT Peter Loveday
Contact me at euroweekly@currenciesdirect.com
Euro EUR/GBP: Up from £0.90 to £0.91 EUR/USD: Down from $1.18 to $1.16 After witnessing some bullish momen tum through August, the euro was pro pelled to a twoyear high at the very start of September. However, we have subsequently seen the euro shed these gains in recent weeks as Europe struggles to contain a ‘very serious’ coronavirus resurgence. EUR investors are particularly con cerned about how the second wave of in fections has impacted the Eurozone’s nascent economic recovery, with recent PMI figures indicating the bloc is at risk of slipping back into a recession. Unless European coronavirus rates im prove dramatically in the coming weeks, it seems inevitable that the euro will ex tend this downside as the economic re covery will be further tested by the intro duction of more stringent restrictions. Pound GBP/EUR: Down from €1.10 to €1.09 GBP/USD: Down from $1.31 to $1.27 The pound suffered a dramatic selloff over the past month, with the currency plunging to a new multimonth low as the risks of a nodeal Brexit rose significantly. This comes after the UK government tabled a bill seeking to override part of the EU Withdrawal Agreement, a move which potentially breaks international law and the EU warns could jeopardise a postBrexit trade deal.
Applying additional pressure to GBP exchange rates has also been the intro duction of new coronavirus restrictions in the UK, which Boris Johnson warned will likely remain in place for up to six months. Going forward, trade in the pound is likely to become increasingly choppy as the threat of a nodeal Brexit and the po tential introduction of stricter measures to control the coronavirus resurgence will stoke concerns over the UK’s eco nomic prospects. US Dollar USD/GBP: Up from £0.76 to £0.78 USD/EUR: Up from €0.84 to €0.85 The US dollar weakened at the start of September as demand for higherrisk cur rencies increased in response to upbeat global growth forecasts and optimism surrounding a coronavirus vaccine. However, the US dollar has found itself back in vogue in recent weeks, with de mand for the safehaven currency rising in response to souring market sentiment. This has been tied to fears of a second wave of coronavirus infections and their impact on global growth, as well as Brexit uncertainty and renewed USChina ten sions. Looking ahead, the ‘Greenback’ will likely continue to benefit from safe haven flows in the weeks to come. However, the upcoming US election re mains a key risk point and could limit the upside potential of the US dollar.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT I CANNOT help feeling that if many of those stopped by the police would only comply a little more with their requests, we would not see many of these ‘street’ situations become so confrontational. With a growing number of these occurrences showing on social media, it’s easy to see police can sometimes be a mite overzealous, but more often than not, it is the citizens involved that cause these situations to escalate; often with tragic results that could easily have been avoided. One posted recently showed a perfectly respectable looking African American woman standing near her car. The police approached and politely asked if the car was hers? There was no colour issue involved here, merely an enquiry as to the owner. When she subsequently affirmed it was indeed hers they asked for her ID. Instead of complying, she belligerently retorted ‘why’? The policeman reasonably and clearly then informed her that the car had been reported stolen and reiterated his re-
Just asking the question! quest to see her ID. The women immediately exploded. Screaming obscenities and jumping around she smashed her fists on the car and rushed about creating such general mayhem that finally a threatening crowd began to gather. Ultimately she had to be physically restrained and put into the police car, where she continued to scream that she was being arrested ‘ because she was black’ and that she ‘couldn’t breathe’ (sound familiar?) All this unpleasantness could have been avoided if she had simply produced her ID when requested. It’s not exactly rocket science. The same scenario also occurred in the (often omitted) first section of the filming in the George Floyd affair. Floyd actually escalated that confrontation by refusing to comply with the officers for almost a half an hour before the final tragic outcome. If he had simply got in the car when first instructed he would still be alive today. I also believe these attitudes are part of the reason for this latest Croydon tragedy. Through their prior experience of similar situations, the police, in an attempt to avoid these
dangerous circumstances getting out of control, including possible attack from baying bystanders, want to get perpetrators into the vans as quickly as possible. For this reason, I believe the body search of this suspect was rushed and resulted in the gun being overlooked, leading ultimately to the tragic murder of Officer Matt Ratana. These attitudes and the lack of respect for our police have to change. Simple compliance with police requests would go a long way to avoiding these unacceptable and often disastrous outcomes. I am actually writing this on Monday, three days since the officer’s murder. The police have had this man on their terrorism watch books for some time. Apparently he was in line for some kind of de radicalisation process - Ha! My point is however, they must therefore know who he is and most certainly have pictures of him. Why then have we not seen any published? Just asking! Keep the faith, Love Leapy Leapylee2002@gmail.com expatradioscotland.com. Mon. Wed. Fri. 1pm till 4pm.

CONSULAR MATTERS REGULAR readers will know that I have been around the proverbial block a few times as a lawyer over the last 30 years and as Consul for Denmark. During all this time I have seen a considerable number of complaints about companies or people who claim to be lawyers, but who are not legally qualified to be called that and give advice under the name of advisers, consultants or some other name. I want to take this opportunity to write about the difference between lawyers (Abogados) and any other advisers or consultants here in Spain It is right to say that the EU regulation of free services, allows anyone to provide services in this area without asking for a degree or qualifications, but some of these professions, such as lawyers or doctors, are ruled by the law and have ethical codes which force the professionals who are practising to be registered at an official association. A number of people have had
Difference between lawyers (Abogados) and any other advisers or consultants here in Spain some bad experiences with so-called lawyers here in Spain, which in some cases could have been avoided if they had instructed properly registered Spanish lawyers. When instructing a lawyer to act on your behalf you need a properly registered lawyer in the Spanish Bar Association (Colegio de abogados). Someone who is registered at the Spanish Bar Association and has to follow the code of ethics and has indemnity insurance, just in case they give advice which proves to be negligent. What you need to do when instructing a lawyer in Spain is to get the the Spanish Bar Association registration number in writing, that way you can check and be assured that you are being represented by a registered lawyer who is able to practise law in Spain. If you are given a fake number this is a criminal offence in Spain. Someone may have all the necessary certificates, but they may have been struck off by the Bar Asso-
ciation and it is necessary to check their number with the Bar Association. You may see lawyers here describing themselves as ‘Solicitors’ this is the closest translation of ‘Abogado’ here in Spain. A foreign European lawyer can be registered at a Bar Association in Spain but they can only give legal advice re the laws of their own home country. To give advice on Spanish law they must have a Spanish law degree or have completed a conversion process. Beware of Consultants, Legal Advisors and the like, lawyers have sat exams and are properly regulated to ensure that they give correct legal advice. It is advisable to put a little effort into choosing your own lawyer and completing your own due diligence so as to avoid a potential disaster further down the line. Thankfully cases of professional negligence are rare, but sadly they do exist here in Spain just like other countries.

‘Remember, love conquers all’ Time to Say Goodbye GAVIN LAMBE-MURPHY WHAT a difference a day makes, or in my case, seven months. When I began to write my weekly column, I was in a very different place to today. Firstly, Covid had arrived in Italy, but in Spain, we still watched the news, as if it w a s f a r e n o u g h a w a y, t o s t a y away. Face masks were something we never believed would become part of our daily wardrobe. One terribly wet and windy morning, I arrived at the EWN HQ, as a broken man. Having emerged from one hell of a break-up, I was due to meet with the editor. A morning of rare, memorable weather. One of the worst storms Spain had experienced in years, my mood suited the climate. Awaiting my meeting, I was approached by Michel Euesden, who was larger than life, and full of positivity. Sadly, I feel my conversation skill was as low as I was feeling. The night before, I learned that my partner had been cheating for months, I was numb. In fact, I was ashamed. I never got to meet the editor, instead, Michel saw beyond my Gucci, and into my soul. Without hesitation, she arranged coffee and biscuits - I never eat them, I ate two that morning. She told me she felt I was in pain, and ordered a taxi to return me to Los Monteros. Awaiting the taxi, I stood on the street in Fuengirola and I cried. I felt passers-by stare, but I cried. I believed I’d failed my interview. I felt so low. Lower than ever. However, my feelings were misplaced, as days later she called to say “let’s go!” Within weeks, Spain went into complete lockdown. My column, my only contact with the outside world. I sat on my winter terrace, staring at the wild sea, writing what was in my heart. Some days, I drank too much wine. Other days, I cried for the unknown. Most days, I just stared at my friend, the sea. I talk to the sea each day, as I believe she hears me. As the virus took over, I, like most of
DEAR READERS: Until we meet again. you, found ways to fill the days. I tended my garden. I experimented with recipes. I cleaned the pool. I volunteered to fetch fire wood. Anything, to try feel normal. As the saying goes, ‘this, too, shall pass.’ Soon, we were allowed to return to the streets. Soon, we were able to return to fitness. Soon, we could dine with friends. As this is my final instalment, for EWN, I recently read back over my columns. I hope my words, were of some entertainment, during these most extraordinary times. I’ve written for many major international newspapers and magazines, but I can hand on heart say, it has been my pleasure to work with EWN. A team, so friendly, and full of energy, I am most grateful for the opportunity. Today, my life has gone full circle, and I am madly in love, with all that true love has to offer. My future feels unreal. Out of nowhere, the person I was meant to be with all along, finally arrived. I believe that Michel’s kindness, led me out of the dark and into love. So, until we meet again, dear readers, always be strong, always be happy. Most of all, always be kind.

THE GRAPES OF MIRTH DAVID WORBOYS I REMEMBER this Peter Sellers’ radio sketch, involving a blindfolded wine tasting: Swills glass, sniffs wine and tastes. “Ah from the left bank of the Gironde; it’s a Chateau Pis du Chat, probably 1961 ....” “Not quite, sir.” “Really? then it must be the 1965?” “No, it isn’t.” “It is from the Gironde, isn’t it?” “I’m afraid not ....” He tastes it again. “Well, it is a Medoc ....” “No.” “Saint Emilion?” “Not quite, sir.” “Is it a Bordeaux?” “Er, no ....” “A Burgundy?” “Not really.” “It must be a red wine?” “I’m afraid it isn’t, sir.” “White?” “Not exactly, but you are getting closer.” “It’s not beer, is it?” “Certainly not....” Another taste “Well, it’s not coffee - it could be tea.” “Look, we’re not getting anywhere; you have one more go.” He takes another taste. “Is it a chocolate drink, perhaps?” “No way!” “Then I give up; what is it then?” “Well, actually it’s a Scotch egg.” Until the 60’s, wine in
England, virtually a non-wine region, 35 kilometres from the country producing the world’s greatest wines, was a treat, shrouded in mystery and enjoyed mainly by the better off. It was talked about rather than appreciated, and used as a subject for one-upmanship. The attitude towards wine has always provided a platform for pretentiousness. In most upmarket restaurants in the 50’s, the menus were only in French (in a country where hardly anybody spoke anything but English) and the wines were listed without details of their provenance (to a nation then unaccustomed to wine). The labels on bottles often omitted the names of the grapes and even the region of origin, but at least we were spared some of the ridiculous descriptions on many labels today (‘delicious,’ ‘perfect with beans on toast,’ ‘the right wine for celebrating your father’s retirement.’) But the language used by critical reviewers and wine columnists is what
really baffles most of us. WHITE - A cheeky little number that smiles a little every now and then. It suddenly bursts with delicate pumpkin and toothpaste flavours with hints of ham omelette and a touch of wood shavings on the nose. RED - It’s quite a powerhouse, rippling with cabbages, fish fingers and notes of marmalade. The robust structure offers complex hues of beetroot, boot polish and coconuts on the finish. ROSE - This one conjures up a moonlit beach with its presence of seaweed, tuna and sugar beet. There is a subtle suspicion of iodine and lilacs at the back of the mouth. Nowadays, in Britain, wine is far more widely available and a few wines are produced for home consumption (meaning not exported, rather than quaffed in the kitchen). In pubs it has made huge inroads into beer’s share of the market, especially in gastro pubs. On the downside, it is the source of much of the vomit swilling around on British streets at night, although probably not as much as beer.
APOLOGETIC THE Spanish tenor Plácido Domingo has announced this Saturday that his public apologies for the accusations of sexual harassment of a score of women were taken out of context and has insisted that he has ‘never’ abused anyone. In an interview on the television programme, ‘La pr1mera pregunta,’ the tenor has retracted his words of last February in which he accepted responsibility for the alleged cases of harassment. “It was not a mea culpa, my apology was published by an American newspaper along with false accusations that did not appear in the official report,” said the singer, who said he tried “to clear up the misunderstanding the next day but it was too late.” Plácido Domingo affirms that his apologies were taken out of context: “I have never abused anyone.”
COMMENTS: Taken out of context.

WE AIM TO PLEASE Dear Euro Weekly News, In reference to the article about Britain Finally Launches its Covid-19 App - After Four Months Delay! Amazing! I live in North Yorkshire but the first news I get about this very important app is from EWN, an English news source based 1,200 away miles in Spain! My iPhone purchased in July came with the app pre-loaded but I have had to wait three months for some numpty in London to find the switch. I guess it’s my own fault for residing 220 miles north of Watford Gap, or it may be yet another example of ‘Bumbling Bojo strikes again.’ Seriously guys, many thanks and keep up the good work with your fine newspaper. Mike Orton
Believe Dear Leapy, Unbelievable! I just read your feature in this week’s Euro Weekly. When I say unbelievable, I don’t mean what you say, but because apart from a minority of us on Twitter, you have said what we all know. The news, specifically Sky, but I am informed BBC and ITV, avoid any references to black people killing people in the UK. There is no condemnation of BLM violence or defacing property. There is no mention of the Asian grooming gangs raping and killing young white girls etc.
OUR VIEW The same hymn sheet
AT this point you would hope that we would be reading from a similar page when it comes to worries about catching the coronavirus and how we can be tested if need be. However, conflicting information seems to be circling still with regard to what to do if you should feel ill, symptoms and even the pressure on hospitals. Take Malaga Province, for example, EWN has had readers call in extremely ill and worried after calling the Covid hotline, but have been told they do not have enough symptoms to warrant a test. Some of these people have been elderly and with underlying health symptoms, but they have been told all they can do is quarantine as there is no space for them in certain hospitals or not enough tests available to go around. Others have been told they must not go to the emergency room if they suspect they have the virus. Does this point to misinformation or a push towards the hopes of creating a herd immunity? Herd immunity may sound like a positive direction but it would also seem to indicate ‘survival of the fittest’ pushing aside those who will not make it. Hospitalisations throughout April were at their highest and it was understandable that hospitals were unprepared and struggling. They dropped off again until recently but are still only a third of what they were during the early part of the virus. So, why would we be told there are no beds available? The Junta de Andalucia also publishes information on beds available which is conflicting with what the public is being told when contacting health centres. We read of different test centres in the UK and see pictures of people queuing round the block waiting to have a test. However, getting a test in Malaga seems an impossible task according to our readers. The health crisis has caused a constant need for updated information, a need for assurance and the knowledge that we will all be safe. So far the people who are supposed to be in charge of this cannot all agree and lives are being lost as they work it out.

COMMENTS FROM FACEBOOK Covid measures for Andalucia expected to be announced on Monday “How do they think they will ever get re-elected? Once they have smashed the economy of Andalucia and people are starving they are going to be very unpopular!”

Covid-19 App.
I knew Comcast had taken over Sky. But who funds them? Who is paying the press association? Why is the Tory government doing nothing about the boat people? Modern slavery in Asian sweatshops? ‘Gaslighting’ is probably an understatement. Best regards David Smith
Law and order Dear Euro Weekly News, The Spanish police are not bullies and are just keeping law and order, unlike the UK police who are taking the knee, with law and order on the backburner. I notice that the Chinese Communist Government who were warned by Dr Li of Covid-19 being contagious last November, did nothing to contain it, covered the truth up and acted far too late to stop its rapid worldwide spread. All we see is the media daily blaming Boris, Trump, Macron etc for the problems the virus has caused and never mention the CCG. Remember that it took 10 years to eradicate smallpox, so please be patient until a vaccine is perfected to combat Covid-19. Brian Johnston Benalmadena Costa
Hands off! Dear Euro Weekly News, What’s this?! No more elbow bumps? It has taken me months to perfect mine with my friends without one of us making an embarrassing or badly timed move. I do understand that countries like Spain, France and Italy where people greet each other with any number of kisses or close contact could be prime spreaders for the virus. Are we to believe that hip-hoppers, fist bumpers, high fivers or lesser-known shoulder nudgers are all banned from their specialist rituals? All joking apart, a nod or a wink or even just a hearty ‘Hello!’ should suffice. I bet the Freemasons are panicked, how will they manage without all the special handshakes? Yours in jest, Johnny Lloyd Torremolinos

THE MAGIC ROUNDABOUT OF SECOND CARPET OF FLAGS JOBS FOR THE BOYS (AND GIRLS) A TRIBUTE: To victims.
YOU may have read that Chris Grayling, who as transport secretary awarded a £13.8 million ferry contract to a company with no ships, is taking up a £100,000-a-year role advising a leading ports company in return for seven hours of work a week. The ferry contracts (a project that descended into chaos, delays and ended in tears) were later cancelled with costs to the taxpayer estimated as high as £56.6m. You really couldn’t make this up nice work if you can get it. Big business rewards incompetence with a fat salary for one day per week’s work. Perhaps Failing Grayling is advising the ports company on how to get government money for places that have no ports. The directors should be on high alert for rocks ahead! Basically, it proves you can be a gigantic failure and still come out laughing all the way to the bank.

MPs usually say they enter politics to serve the country/their community whereas in actuality Grayling (like many others) proves the point that quite a few of them are in politics solely for self-interest. But then just look at the number of politicians with second jobs. According to The Committee on Standards in Public Life, one in five holds down a second job on the side which, the Westminster watchdog warned, risks undermining trust in Parliament. Apart from ex-Chancellor (multijob) George Osborne who took on extra work while still an MP, take the example of Theresa May (and the thousands she’s earning for speeches as an MP), PM Boris (criti-
cised for failing to seek advice before signing a lucrative contract as a newspaper columnist shortly after resigning as foreign secretary) and ex-attorney-general Sir Geoffrey Cox. He’s often in lists of bestpaid MPs. Last year he apologised to Parliament after failing to declare earnings of £400,000+ from work as a barrister. Trouble is, as the autumnal leaves turn amid increasingly hostile criticisms about testing chaos, a threatened second wave, schools and the economy, is the public’s trust in this government at risk of being fatally undermined?

BeachyFeet Marbella has the world at its feet
FOUNDED in late 2019, BeachyFeet Marbella has now officially launched on a worldwide basis a new flip flop and beachwear brand inspired by the coastal culture of southern Spain. Beach loving Brit Managing Director John Lodge explains the brand as “not just flip flops, but a way of life” which is evident in the broad range of flip flops, apparel, nail polishes and accessories that make up the initial range of products available on their website www.beachyfeet.es. Having worked in product and brand development for blue chip companies as well as recently completing the sale of his previous fashion business Lodge ex-
plains his latest adventure “BeachyFeet’s goal is to become a household name in beach footwear and apparel. We have taken great care to develop a comfortable and robust flip flop offer with elegant/fun prints and ultra-comfort. “Our ambition in the short to medium term is to be manufacturing our flip flops here in Marbella to really solidify our commitment to European manufacturing and authenticity of an end to end Spanish design and manufacturing process. “We are in the latter part of our R&D now and hope to be pushing ahead in late 2021/early 2022 with the printing and forming here in Marbella.
''We have been in talks with major duty-free retail outlets, as well as department stores and of course beach boutiques here along the coast,” he said, adding “We are excited to see a lot of our products in the stores already and into summer 2021.” As well as pending distribution contracts being executed for other European territories the brand continues to push on through very difficult economic times. “Obviously, launching a new business amidst all the market uncertainty and lack of holidaymakers isn’t ideal - but this really is a life-long brand in the making and we have a lot of exciting plans and collaborations in the pipeline,” John confirmed.
The full range of men’s and women’s flip flops and beachwear can be found at www.beachyfeet.es, potential distributors are invited to email info@beachyfeet.es or call +34 711 010 401. Many customers will be delighted to discover that the BeachyFeet range is vegan friendly as products are made from materials containing no animal by-products. They use no animal derived glue and their factories are all ethically checked and certificated.
A MADRID park is carpeted with Spanish flags in tribute to the victims of Covid-19 in the country. Volunteers planted the more than 50,000 flags in the Parque de Roma first thing on Sunday morning in an initiative which posts on Twitter say was organised by the ANVAC National Association for Coronavirus Victims initiative. Dozens of people also staged a minute’s silence among the flags at midday.
Clearly visible from the M-30 motorway and the Moratalez district of the city, the idea of the tribute is to remember all those who have lost their lives to the virus since the start of the pandemic, and according to several comments posted by far-right party Vox, to highlight what they claim is the “poor management” and “incompetence” of the national government in managing the health crisis.
MEMORIAL A FORMER classmate and friend of Anne Frank, Jacqueline van Maarssen, has laid the first brick at a monument in Amsterdam to the 102,000 victims of the Holocaust with each brick bearing the name of one of the victims. This concept was first promoted in 2006 and the 250metre labyrinth of corridors was designed by PolishAmerican architect and child of holocaust survivors Daniel Libeskind. It was only last year that the Dutch court confirmed consent for the project and work commenced in building the basic structure in June of this year. The first brick laid by Jacqueline van Maarssen carries the name of Dina Frankenhuis who was killed at the Sobibor concentration camp aged just 20 and the list of victims includes Jews and Gypsies from Sinti and Roma backgrounds.
FIRST BRICK: Was laid by Jacqueline van Maarssen.

Famous quote
FOR NEXT 7 DAYS
“Many of life’s failures are people who did not realise how close they were to success when they gave up.” Thomas A Edison
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. The road ahead is open. Keeping things simple is best.
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.
seriously. This week, however, negotiations could be opened. Circumstances change and it may seem someone gave up too early. Bide your time and even hold your tongue when someone in a strong position spouts rubbish.
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.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) An investment made recently is built upon and brings peace of mind. Finances do need consideration but more in the long than the short-term. 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.

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. There are doubts in your mind about a family holiday.
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) A suggestion made by you recently did not seem to be taken
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. Avoid being too critical of someone young and inexperienced.

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.

A skincare secret AGEING is one of our biggest beauty concerns and it can turn into the bane of our existence. With ageing comes antiageing products, designed to tackle wrinkles and plump the skin. But with so many products and confusing terms to deal with, it isn’t easy to manage this minefield. However, there is one product that has got everybody talking. From skincare experts and beauty fanatics to dermatologists, they are all loving retinol. Retinoids have been on the scene for many years, but it’s just now that most people are taking notice. Retinol has properties that are said to reverse signs of ageing and also act as a preventive measure. The ingredient derives from Vitamin A and is found in many creams and lotions. It promotes collagen production and exfoliates the outermost layer of skin. It changes the way aged cells behave, making them act like younger cells. This results in softening, improving the texture of the skin and minimising the look of fine lines. Retinol is also good for acne scars and sun damage and can brighten the skin, giving the look of a youthful complexion. Age spots can also be lightened with this acidic product as skin tone is evened out. That said, retinol may not be suitable for all skin types. If you suffer any conditions such as eczema or rosacea, a high strength product like this could cause further inflammation. To combat this, adding very small amounts to your moisturiser can introduce skin slowly to the ingredient, always making sure to use SPF afterwards. It is also encouraged that people without underlying skin conditions use small amounts when
starting to use retinol. Beginning by applying twice a week and then gradually increasing the quantity if skin reacts well. Applying retinol is recommended no more than three times a week. As a general rule, any retinoid creams or serums are to be used at night as they increase sensitivity to sunlight. Wearing SPF daily is essential when the ingredient is part of your skincare routine. And taking into account that it is a strong product; users should not use more than a pea-sized amount. Younger people can also use retinol but they may not see as many benefits as someone with older skin. Never forgetting however, that prevention is always better than cure and this product will keep skin glowing.

It’s so easy to brush any form of negative thoughts, feelings and behaviours under the carpet, however, there will be a time when the carpet can no longer cover them! Your initial reaction may be to fight the thought, in the hope it will disappear. It may do for a short period of time, but something will always happen to trigger the thought
It’s okay not to be okay. Really MS BIPOLAR UP AND DOWN WITH BALANCE UNEDITED ROUGH patch, a bad day, a major setback. Sometimes, it seems like one thing goes wrong after another. And another, and another… Sometimes an unexpected challenge or an obstacle might come your way, and you find yourself stressing out, worrying and not knowing what to do. And, some days, you just have nothing. Zero motivation, no creativity. All of a sudden, you’re being inundated with self-doubt. You think you have to be strong all the time. You think you’re not allowed to cry, to admit that you’re not okay. It’s okay to not be okay. This is something that I’ve been struggling with for the last couple of months. I don’t know if things will ever go back to the way they used to be. What I do know, is that admitting that I’m not doing too well, even to myself, is never easy. Why?
Why do we always feel the need to be strong? Why do we feel guilty when taking a time-out? I was overwhelmed with such guilt. How can I sit here and cry and feel sorry for myself, when I have so much to be grateful for? There’s so much work I need to get done, I don’t see anyone else making excuses for themselves. Know that it’s okay. It’s okay to not be okay. Don’t resist feeling ‘bad’ just because it seems like you’re the only one who feels lonely, or lost or unmotivated - you’re not. Don’t worry about what everyone else is doing and remember that we all know what it’s like to ‘not be okay’ even if most of us don’t talk about it. All those feelings are normal, we all go through this sometimes. Is it a fun place to be? Hell no. But it doesn’t last forever. Hold on, better days are on their way! Love.

at a later day. The best way to deal with any negative thoughts is to embrace its presence, and discover what it is trying to teach you. Helpful thoughts vs Unhelpful thoughts Our ego likes to play tricks on us. When you think of a negative thought, your ego will create a scenario that you believe to be your reality. It feels as real as your physical being. You will then create a feeling and behaviour that matches the thought. For example, fear, anger, hurt or frustration. To enable you to understand if your thought is real, grab a pen and paper, and draw a line down the middle. On the left side, write HELPFUL THOUGHTS, and
on the right, write UNHELPFUL THOUGHTS. An example of helpful thoughts are, I am loved, I am a good parent, I am great at my job. An example of unhelpful thoughts are, I am fat, I am not good enough, I am a rubbish parent. Once you have written your lists, go back to your unhelpful thoughts, and next to each one, ask your self out loud, what physical evidence do I have to make these thoughts real. Once you establish there are no facts to this thought, choose to let it go. Next week, I will be continuing the set yourself free from a negative mindset sequence and will be writing about, understanding your triggers.

Budgies for beginners IF you’re looking for something different to the typical furry, four-legged pet and birds have always been your thing, you might like to consider budgies. The small, colourful birds are quite easy to look after and make great pets for all ages, in fact they are the most widely domesticated bird in the world. Budgies can be found in a variety of colours and have varied personalities so look around for one that you click with. Cocks tend to be chirpier and easier to hand train and if you’re thinking of having a pair but don’t want them breeding, two cocks usually get on better than two hens. To keep them happy and healthy they need a complete diet so shop around for ready mixed food and check ingredients carefully. You can also give seed bars and honey balls as treats but never give your budgie avocado, lettuce, potato, sweets or chocolate as they can be harmful. If handled from a young age your new feathered friend will tame up very well but you will need to be patient and introduce stroking gradually, first with a blunt stick through the bars of the cage to avoid pecks, When picking up a budgie (once used to being stroked), always use your palm to cover the wings and gently hold at the neck between your index and middle fingers. Move slowly and calmly and try not to stress the bird or it will bite! Never try to catch a flying budgie as this can cause unintended harm.
When did you last tell a joke? MIKE SENKER IN MY OPINION Views of a Grumpy Old Man FOUR of us went out Friday for dinner in a proper fish and chip shop that obviously specialise in fish and, of course, chips. We were not there late - 7.30ish and we ordered. Now the clue is in the name - fish and chips. The fish was fine but for some reason they decided to serve up not very hot and scrappy chips. We obviously got the end of the last lot and the next lot of punters got the fresh chips. What I don’t understand is why? There has to be a bit of wastage. Don’t serve up the last crumbs and bits. Chuck them and keep the quality high. You can only do it once because I’m not going back any more. Now I know I’m getting old but the other thing that got on my nerves, and a few others in there too, was at one table was a couple. They were not kids and decided to spend the entire time between eating and drinking and waiting for the bill to what can only be described as ‘eating each oth-
er’s face.’ I don’t mind people showing a bit of affection but this was right over the top. Being the quiet unassuming person I am said, ‘Oi mate, get a room.’ This was greeted by a few laughs and nods of approval from the other patrons but totally ignored by the culprits who didn’t understand English. Oh well it was great to see our friends that we hadn’t seen for a while. Is it only me that looks at the kettle, shakes it and thinks hmm yeah, I’ll get two cups out of that but then doesn’t? I’m thinking of coming off all social media after watching the documentary The Social Dilemma. It is the scariest horror film I’ve ever seen and it’s not fiction. Find it and watch it and then tell me it’s not terrifying. I’m considering going back to just having my phone as a means of talking directly to people and not sending jokes but actually going back to telling them. When was the last time someone told you a joke? Facebook is nonsense. Twitter is OK as long as you don’t believe it all and all the others I can easily do without. What is so scary about this documentary is that it’s narrated by ex CEOs of all the big social media companies. Email: mikesenker@gmail.com

WALKING FOOTBALL GETS COMPETITIVE AFTER last weekend’s successful mini tournament which took place at Calahonda amid strict ante Covid restrictions and regulations, three clubs have met and decided to set up a mini league which will see the teams play each other once taking them up to the Christmas break. Malaga (formerly Smiles) will put out three teams, Benahavis two, with Aston Viñuela one team. They hope this will keep their players fit and also giving them match practice in a friendly but competitive manner, keeping the players ready for the new season scheduled to commence in January. Getting the Mini League underway are two teams who disappointed at last week’s tournament and will be all out to prove it was a settling in experience for them and they hope on Saturday October 3, Malaga ‘A’ v Aston Viñuela WFC, Kick off 1pm will be different. Good news is that BAHA Irish Whiskey producers were so impressed with the organising and enthusiasm shown by the players and organisers that they offered to sponsor the mini league. It’s believed that BAHA will invest a three figure sum into the venture and donate a gift of a bottle of BAHA whiskey to each player of the league winning team.
Meanwhile still on sponsorship the South of Spain Walking Football League are still in talks with several sponsors who are keen to sponsor the SSWFA league starting in the New Year. The Management Committee are in agreement that it is important to get what is best for the league while keeping in mind sponsors look for publicity by way of shirt logos, company names and media publicity. These all have to be taken into account by both parties when negotiating a deal. SSWFL hope to make an announcement next week. Local businesses support the Walking Football League... The Walking Football League supports local businesses. The Cornish Bakehouse were so impressed with the preparation and organising of last Saturday’s tournament thay have agreed to sponsor the Cornish Bakehouse Invitational which will take place at the Finca on Saturday November 7 starting at 12 noon.
