SPANISH police have arrested a British man in Almuñecar for allegedly being part of an international drug trafficking ring. The suspect, and another Belgian man, were said to be part of a gang based in Mijas and Antequera which transported drugs between the Netherlands and Spain. The group allegedly trafficked drugs hidden in products shipped by a road transport company, which was not aware of the operation. The gang reportedly used a warehouse on an industrial estate in Antequera as a front for their operation, supposedly only visiting the site outside of normal working hours. The Guardia Civil caught the pair after watching the warehouse and intercepting one of its lorries, finding 184 kilograms of hashish and 70 kilograms of marihuana. Police later arrested the men at their home in Almuñecar, as well as a Spanish man in Nerja for allegedly heading up the operation.

CLASSIC FILM: The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie was one of five Buñuel films in the table. THIS film is one of five by the Spanish filmmaker Luis Buñuel that made it into a new ranking of the 100 greatest foreign language films. The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie placed 84th on the BBC’s table, which was put together by several international film critics. Buñuel’s films The Young and the Damned, Belle de Jour, The Exterminating Angel and Viridiana ranked 80th, 75th, 67th and 48th respectively.
The BBC said Buñuel was matched only by Ingmar Bergman in the number of films by a single director that ranked on the table. The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie hit cinemas in 1972 and earned Buñuel his only Oscar. The French-language film follows a group of wealthy people trying to have dinner together before surreal events stop them whenever they try to eat. The film’s psychological themes

and commentary on and criticism of high society are typical of Buñuel’s work. Buñuel was born in Aragon to a well-off Catholic family in 1900. He lived in Paris in the 1920’s where he worked with surrealist painter Salvador Dali and made documentaries when he returned to Spain in the 1930’s. He was driven into exile in Mexico after the Spanish Civil War and died there in 1983.

New embassy A GERMAN man has opened an embassy for the micro nation of Westarctica in Nerja. Former car designer Joachim Aldfinger founded Spain’s first embassy for a small patch of the Antarctic after it was ‘claimed’ by a former United States military officer in 2001. American soldier Travis McHenry declared sovereign status for the last remaining part of the South Pole not yet claimed by any other country almost 20 years ago, proclaiming himself ‘Grand

Since 2014, McHenry has run the micronation as a charity, raising funds towards conservation efforts and attracting more than 5,000 self-declared residents, among them Joachim Aldfinger.

The suspect reportedly took advantage of her presence in the homes of clients who had severely reduced mobility to defraud their savings.
She allegedly copied down the numbers of up to four cards, later using the information to make purchases and pay bills over the internet. Officers were later able to use bank statements of the victims to confirm purchases had been made for a particular brand of beauty products. Police reportedly found out the carer was an agent for this brand and later confirmed she was the recipient of the products. The Guardia Civil later found the suspect had made several video tutorials teaching people how to use the products. She was then arrested and placed at the disposal of the judicial authority.

Heavy weather claims life A WOMAN has died in Velez-Malaga after being overwhelmed by the current while trying to cross a river. The woman in her mid-50s reportedly died after trying to cross the riverbed at the Rio Seco with her husband. After the woman was carried away from her husband by the water, a few hours later rescue workers found her dead body around two kilometres away from where she went missing. Police say the woman was trying to cross the river at around 8.30pm at night with her husband on foot neat Hacienda Macarena before she was dragged away by the current. Her husband notified the police who sent out a search team and discovered her body. Officers from the National Police, Local Police, fire services and Civil Protection Consortium all took part in the rescue effort. Once the woman’s body was found, forensic police from the National Police took over the investigation. Altough it was no longer raining when the woman first went missing, the Rio Seco was said to still be full of water, while the Velez-Malaga area received around 71.8 square litres per metre in some points. An autopsy on the woman later confirmed she had died by drowning and that she had asphyxiated on water and mud.
‘Delicate situation’ THE mayor of Rincon de la Victoria has asked a Minister for Education to visit schools in the area over growing concerns. Mayor Francisco Salado invited Minister Sonia Gaya from the Junta de Andalucia to visit IES Bezmi l i a n a a n d o t h er schools in Torre de Benagalbon which are currently using prefabricated classrooms to accommodate the overspill of children. Thi s a c a d e m i c y e a r, parents of students at the Torre de Benagalbon Institute started to collect signatures on an online petition at www.Change. org. They claim the prefabricated classrooms in Torre de Benagalbon are unsuitable for their purpose and are only 10 metres away from building works to create a permanent school.
A WOMAN: Lost her life trying to cross the Rio Seco. Her body also showed signs of various traumas compatible with being dragged through the riverbed, including a blow to the left side of her forehead, a fractured right ankle and several broken ribs. Police now want to find out what the couple was doing crossing the river at that time of night.
OUR VIEW Less politics, more progress NEWS that another row has erupted over efforts to grant irregular homes legal status is the latest instance of the issue being used as a political football. Accusations from the left leaning Partido Socialista (PSOE) that the Almeria-based Abusos Ubanisticos Almanzora NO (AUAN) is in cahoots with conservative Partido Popular (PP) are clearly unfounded. AUAN has long campaigned on behalf of expatriate homeowners who bought properties in good faith and later discovered they were illegal. AUAN’s agenda is non-partisan. Its goal is to speak out for expatriates whose lives in Spain have been left hanging in the balance after being told to leave homes they thought were built legally. Some cases have seen homeowners who were expecting to enjoy a well-earned retirement in southern Spain turfed out of properties. The Priors’ home was demolished in 2008 and they only received compensation last February after years of tireless campaigning. It is often tempting for politicians to take an issue and use it to score points with voters. The PSOE may have genuine and legitimate concerns about planning policy, but smearing their opponents by lumping them together with non-partisan campaigners will not solve the issue. The time has come for politicians to put people first and work together for the interests of threatened homeowners.

Up for discussion was a report on whether taxi numbers meet demand during busier months. Cristina Fernandez, Councillor for Transport, explained, “in the month of August of 2017 the population almost
quadrupled. This data is important and it makes us think about the need to increase the number of taxi licences in Nerja. It is a matter that goes beyond municipal authority and we have to deal with the relevant department.” Representatives also discussed the need to grant more licences for adapted taxis to comply with accessibility rules. Councillor Fernandez said, “legally we have to have more than 5 per cent and we still do not.”

BREXIT BRIEF
Deal hopes and plans By Joe Gerrard BRITAIN’S Prime Minister has told members of her government she is confident of reaching a Brexit deal, but warned she would not accept one at any cost. Theresa May told a meeting of cabinet ministers last Tuesday questions over customs checks at the Northern Irish border continued to stall progress. Michel Barnier, the European Union’s (EU) chief Brexit negotiator, said both sides were not yet in a position to call a special summit to seal the withdrawal deal. Both sides have said around 95 per cent of the deal is closed off. Negotiators are continuing to find a way to avoid a hard border between Northern Ireland and the Republic after the March 2019 leave date. British and EU officials appeared to be moving increasingly towards what is known as the ‘Norway for Now’ option to secure an arrangement for the first years after Britain’s departure.
CONFIDENT: May is working to get a deal on the Northern Irish border. Support among politicians is growing for the proposal which would see Britain remain in an EU customs union while a long term deal is thrashed out. Hardline Brexiteers fear the arrangement could see Britain continue to stick with EU trade policy permanently. John McDonnell, the Shadow Chancellor, said the Labour opposition would not back a deal that
kept Britain in such an arrangement indefinitely. It comes as the Spanish government unveiled a series of measures aimed at helping the country’s businesses draw up contingency plans for Britain’s departure from the EU. Research from the KPMG accounting firm has found 31 per cent of Spanish firms have such plans and 19 per cent have begun to implement them.
Phone and travel concerns BRITISH expatriates and travellers could be hit with higher phones bills after the country leaves the European Union (EU) while the travel industry said Brexit was causing uncertainty for customers. Members of Parliament said there was no guarantee the British government would continue to enforce a current EU-wide ban on roaming charges after Brexit. It comes as Brittany Ferries said uncertainty over the consequences of Britain’s departure from the EU had led to travellers stalling bookings. The Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA) said its research showed 48 per cent of people thought travelling to the continent would become harder after Brexit. Separately, members of the House of Commons EU Scrutiny Committee said users of British phones should think carefully before using their devices on the continent. “It is probable that roaming charges, abolished within the EU, will return and that even where they do not, increased wholesale roaming costs incurred by British providers may be passed onto their consumers indirectly,” the committee said.

Remembering those who gave their today for your tomorrow By Tom Woods THIS year marks a poignant century since the First World War ended and fittingly, both Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday fall on November 11. Armistice Day honours the signing of the agreement between the Allies and Germany at 11am on November 11, 1918 to cease hostilities: the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. Although fighting continued in some areas, the truce effectively brought an end to four years of brutal warfare. As a result, it is an important tradition to pause our busy daily lives at 11am on November 11 to remember those killed in the two World Wars as well
as those in the armed forces who have been killed or injured since 1945. Germany, exhausted by war and with a nation of hungry citizens, reluctantly accepted the terms. On November 10 the Queen will attend a Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall, hosted by the Royal British Legion. The next day she will attend a special service at Westminster Abbey in the company of German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, and of course take her place at the Cenotaph commemoration at 11am with various other royals, politicians and members of the armed forces. Last year, the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh watched proceedings from a balcony for the first time,
DURING the First World War, poppies grew on the battlefields, particularly in Flanders, Belgium. This inspired the well-known poem ‘In Flanders Fields’ by John McRae, which he wrote in May 3, 1915 and was first published in December of the same
and Prince Charles instead took on the mantle and laid the wreath. Appropriately, it was announced earlier this year that families of First World War veterans will be allowed to march past the Cenotaph to honour the sacrifice of their loved ones. Normally 10,000 people are permitted to take part in the annual march, but in light of this particularly significant year, an extra 10,000 places will be made available to those with an emotional connection to the Great War. After the Second World War, many countries changed the name of the day from Armistice Day to Remembrance Day, while the US chose to call it Veterans Day and made it a federal holiday.
Poppy history
In 1915, Canadian doctor Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae was inspired by the sight of poppies growing in battle-scarred fields to write the famous poem ‘In Flanders Fields.’ Before long, poppies made their way to the UK and became the symbol of the Royal British Legion when it was formed in 1921. This year ’s Poppy Appeal is unsurprisingly the biggest ever and the Legion hopes to raise £50 million (€56 million) for service men and women, veterans and their families. As part of Laurence Binyon’s poem ‘For the Fallen’ so rightly says: “They shall not grow old, as we who are left grow old.”
year. Since then, poppies have become a way to remember those who have lost their lives in war, and the money raised from selling them goes towards war veterans and their families who have been adversely affected by conflict.

British Embassy and Consulates unite in remembrance THIS Sunday, the British Embassy in Madrid and Consulates across Spain will mark the centenary of the Armistice by taking part in solemn acts of remembrance. They will also be giving thanks for the end of the war, for peace and for those who were fortunate enough to return to their families. This year, the British and German governments are promoting a special programme of bell ringing as a symbolic way of commemorating the end of war and conveying the importance of peace. In London, President Frank-Walter Steinmeier will lay a wreath at the Cenotaph on behalf of the German people in a historic act of reconciliation. It will be the first time a German leader will lay a wreath at the ceremony and the act marks the significance of the centenary, 100 years after the guns fell silent on the Western Front. Bells will be rung at many churches in Spain and the bilateral collaboration is also being marked in other ways. Britain’s Ambassador to Spain Simon Manley, and Germany’s equivalent Ambassador Wolfgang Dold will give readings at the Remembrance Day service at St George’s Church in Madrid. Ambassador Manley will also attend an event at the German Ambassador’s residence with the historian Dr RobertBenjamin Gerwarth entitled: ‘Cien años después, ¿por qué Europa no encontró la paz después de la Primera Guerra Mundial?’ (100 years after. Why has Europe not found peace after the First World War?). Ambassador Manley said: “As we remember the fallen on November 11, it is important to reflect on the importance of reconciliation and explore how, especially at a time when some seek to provoke discord and intolerance, we can build bridges where others want to build walls. “As Europeans, we are bound together by our values, our shared memories of the continent’s history and our common aspirations for peace, security and prosperity.” Credit: Foreign and Commonwealth Office

Money worries A FRAGMENTED Spanish parliament in which the government controls fewer than a quarter of the seats in generating uncertainty over economic policy, the central bank’s governor has said. Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has struggled to gain parliamentary approval for next year’s budget, and said he may compromise on plans for more ambitious spending in order to secure its passage. Spain’s economy has grown steadily ever in recent years, but economists warn it may have passed its peak.

Minimum wage row THE head of Spain’s Central Bank has slammed the country’s recent 22 per cent minimum wage increase, claiming thousands of young people will lose their jobs as a result. Banco de España chairman Pablo Hernandez de Cos has openly criticised the ruling socialist p a r t y ’s d e c i s i o n t o p u t S p a i n ’s minimum wage up from €735 to €900. The seasoned economist said that the salary rise would slash 0.8 per cent of jobs in Spain and “have
by Tom Woods the opposite effect to that intended of hindering those we want to help most, young people.” Of the 19.5 million people registered as employed in Spain, that percentage amounts to 150,000 jobs. Previous minimum wage increases in Spain were of 8 per cent in 2017 and 4 per cent in 2018, but Hernandez de Cos claims that employers’ obligations to pay considerably more will make them fire
their least productive workers. According to the economist, the most effective way of protecting these vulnerable workers is by tackling the job market’s excessive temporary work demand as well as high turnovers and shift work exploitation. The Spanish government’s €900 new minimum wage will add up to €12,600 a year for those who earn it, as it is traditional in Spain for workers to receive two bonus salaries in the summer and at Christmas.
SPAIN is ready to cooperate with Pakistan in expanding their bilateral trade with an emphasis on food processing and tourism development, said Miguel Pena, the country’s Economic and Commercial Attaché. In a recent visit to the Faisalabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FCCI), he said Spain had made excellent progress in the industrial sector, while 90 million tourists visited the country last year. Mr Pena said the volume of bilateral trade stands at $1.1 billion (€0.96 billion).

CASA COOK: Spain is a big part of Thomas Cook’s expansion plans. HOLIDAY operator Thomas Cook has announced that it plans to open 20 of its own hotels by the end of 2019, including six in Spain. According to its strategic plan, the company aims to be providing 40,000 hotel rooms from 200 hotels, and to become a leading player in the hotel industry. New openings include Spain’s first Casa Cook hotel and the first family Casa Cook, as well as seven youthfocused Cook’s Club hotels. These youth or millennial-
centred hotels will feature escape rooms, VR gaming, rage rooms and private discos, as well as street food dining and a poolside cocktail bar. One of the ‘key assets’ is Casa Cook Ibiza, a 189-room hotel that will open next summer, the first of two new Casa Cook properties. Thomas Cook, which pioneered the package holiday concept, has also confirmed that it has removed nine hotels from its portfolio which did not meet brand quality standards.
Cheap deals ONLINE platforms for the purchase or rent of secondhand products, eg eBay, Wallapop or Vibbo, were the most used websites by Spanish internet users in the second quarter of 2018, according to the National Commission of Markets.
Sales soar SPANISH giant Inditex, the world’s biggest fashion retail group, trebled its profits last year across its 23 Irish stores, recording an 18 per cent increase in sales, hitting almost €136 million of sales revenues.
IAG investment gets lift off IAG (International Consolidated Airlines Group) is to raise its net capital investment to an average of €2.6 billion per year up to 2023. The owner of Iberia, British Airways and Aer Lingus also expects seat capacity to grow by 6 per cent annually, which will help to boost profits. This is likely to be the driving factor be-
hind a hike in cost estimates, along with the recent rise in fuel prices. IAG is confident of continuing strong returns for its shareholders, as highlighted by the healthy figures of its airlines. In addition, the company expects underlying earnings to average €7.2 billion per annum over the next five years, bettering its previous forecast of €6.5 billion.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT AS much as I truly appreciate everyone who writes in, I don’t often take up issues with the perusers of this column (and I certainly heard from a few snowflakes last week!). Mainly because it can result in less space for any fresh perspective. I do however feel a word about one correspondent, ‘Appalling views bring shame’ that appeared on last week’s Letters page worth a mention. The gentleman in question, presumably a new reader, considered me homophobic because I sided with the couple who refused to advertise gay marriage on one of their products. Something they didn’t believe in. The court agreed and found in their favour. This of course was my point. I was merely objecting to the appeasement of minorities, simply because they were minorities. Most long-term readers of my ‘spoutings’ are completely aware that I am some considerable distance from being homophobic or any other phobic for that matter. One of my own offspring actually ‘came out’ some time ago, and has subsequently made our family unit stronger and even more fun to be around. They would however, never harbour an inferiority complex-inspired urge to consider we should all be gay! Apropos ‘lunatics’
FEATURE
Nothing to feel shame for running the asylum.’ I refer you to the statement from the chairman of the UK’s National Police Chiefs’ Council Sara Thornton, that the police should get back to solving ‘real crimes’ instead of concentrating on frivolous time-wasting claims of misogyny, hate crimes and ‘wolf whistling.’ I wouldn’t hold your breath on that one mind, there are too many lunatics ensconced at the head of that profession already! As a final observation on this reader’s missive, namely that he informed us he had ‘expected that leaving the ‘civility’ of the UK would lead to some adjustment of his new life’ (A more pompous and racist statement to that effect is difficult to imagine!), I can only say to you sir, that your new country of choice has not yet sunk into the mire of political correctness and morass of mental misogynists who are suffocating free speech and democracy in the UK. I am also delighted to be privileged and able to state my views in the EWN, a publication that prides itself in not having fallen into those depths of undemocratic and stifling freedom of expression either.
As a final short observation on last Thursday’s piece I wrote - and I quote. ‘The Saudis will declare the murder (Khashoggi’s) a rogue operation and will parade all the suspects (assassination squad) in a lavish Riyadh show trial and hand down long sentences to each.’ Unquote. Extract of a segment in Saturdays SUN newspaper UK. (Six days after my copy was handed in!) ‘Turkey is seeking the killer’s extradition. Riyadh blames a ‘rogue operation’ and has arrested 18 suspects.’ I rest my case. Congratulations to DJ Paul Gambaccini on winning hefty damages against the Crown Prosecution Service in their botched sex abuse probe. His main objection was that they had dropped the prosecution investigation through ‘insufficient evidence’ against him in their Yew Tree enquiries. He considered these were not words of exoneration, which of course they are not, and he rightly won compensation. Keep the faith Love Leapy leapylee2002@gmail.com

TECH FOR THE TIMID THE day I felt old, was the day I saw a 10-year-old pick up a CD, and be amazed that it contained a little book. Once upon a not-too-long-ago time, I was proud of my 300 CD collection. To millennials, that makes me a dinosaur. Welcome to the club. CD sales have plummeted. They are down around 45 per cent this year and dropping fast, though perversely, vinyl LP sales are up among the young. So, who’s the dinosaur then? Today, people ‘stream’ their music live from sites like Spotify, Apple Music or Deezer. For the fossils among us who still insist on actually owning our content, we either buy the digital versions of albums online, or we ‘rip’ (that’s copy in fossil-speak) existing CDs (or indeed vinyl, or, heaven forbid, cassettes) to MP3s, to play on our phones or dedicated players. This week’s column is a ripping yarn on how to transfer your existing CD music to MP3s.
CD or not CD?
RIPPING: Who forgot to switch off the CD copier? It is not rocket science, and certainly not beyond the abilities of even those of us well into injury time in the game of life. It assumes you still have a computer with a CD drive included, hopefully not just being used as a coffee-cup holder. There are a number of simple ‘ripping’ programs available, and many are free, including FreeRIP,
Exact Audio Copy or Foobar2000. The process is painless enough. Put the CD you want to record in the drive, launch the ‘ripper’ program, point it to the CD you want to copy, and if you’re not one of life’s tweakers, the default settings on most programs will work just fine. If quality really matters to you, either choose the highest settings
possible for the MP3 conversion, or opt instead for a so-called ‘lossless’ conversion format, where every nuance of the original recording is copied, unlike the compression involved in MP3s. Frankly, despite being a musician and an insufferable audiophile, I can’t hear the difference, but your mileage may vary. If you don’t like the ‘tagging’ (the track names and labels) assigned to your output files automatically, you can also change some of the information - like the actual file name - manually. You can also edit the information displayed in your music player more comprehensively if it’s not to your taste, by downloading another free program - MP3tag - which even lets you change the album art shown on your screen. All that is left to do is to ‘sideload’ (a geeky word for copying) your new music files to your phone or audio player, usually through a USB cable, and then press play. Welcome to the 21st century.
Recycle CDs WHAT to do with all those old CDs once you’ve ‘ripped’ their content, other than donating them to a worthy cause? I’ve used them as drinks coasters, bird-frighteners in a vegetable garden, bookmarks, driveway reflectors, candleholders and ice-scrapers. If I still lived in Asia or Africa or somesuch, it’s almost de rigueur to dangle one from the rearview mirror, though I’ve never figured out why. I’ve seen them as fridge décor, in mosaic tables, as DIY clock-faces, mirrors and even Christmas decorations. Sadly, like most of us they don’t recycle well, and millions end up in landfills every year. What I did learn, is you absolutely should not break them into pieces by hand. The nurse in our casualty department was very sympathetic.

NOW I’m into the 10th year of writing this column (can I just say, thank you, if you’re still here) but I’ll still start with another moan. No, not about Brexit, which I imagine, you’re simply bored to death with and want to hear nothing more about. Maybe even suffering from Brexititis? My moan this week concerns the reality TV star Scarlett Harrison, 20, who, when recently caught drink-driving, told police she couldn’t provide a breath test because her collagen-filled lips were too big! Don’t women like Scarlett realise how silly they look to everyone else? The Barbie doll look isn’t a good one. Why do they self-mutilate with collagen to the point of impairing mouth function? But appearance is everything now, isn’t it? Reports on America’s $88bn anti-ageing industry calculate that millions face serious health problems caused by the gurus of unregulated dietary, vitamin supplements and Botox crazes. I’m not sure, but I think we’re allowed to get older but not to look as though we are. Is that right? Do the Botoxers and face-
The good the bad and the bonkers, with Barbie lips
PRICELESS?: Katie Price has undergone several Botox treatments. filler folk actually know, that we know that they’ve been pulling a fast one? Everything peeled, exfoliated, filled and polished. The full (late) Joan Rivers, bless her. The problem for people who have had excessive Botox is that they don’t look younger, just weirder. Think Katie Price.
Or, someone trapped in a lift for a week with Donald Trump. Now, I don’t doubt for a minute that it must be appealing to be regarded as ‘hot’ (although I have no personal experience of this, can you believe it?). As for looking younger, here’s a tip: the concealer under the eye trick makes you look 10 years younger. Without it, I look like I’ve done three rounds with Tyson (that’s the name of next door’s dog). Finally, on a really positive note, I’d like to thank all of you who have purchased my latest crime thriller ‘The Girl in the Woods’, now out in paperback (and as you know, all profits to Costa del Sol Cudeca cancer charity).

LEGALLY SPEAKING
Can one owner impugn AGM? Our community consists of some villas on plots and some attached row houses. All the houses have the same roofs with roof-tiles. Some owners have made new construction in their garden areas or changed their roofs. The AGM was not informed and no permission was given. The issue was discussed at a special EGM when the new president brought up the subject of ‘Legal action against the violators’. He himself is one of the offenders. The issue was not on the official agenda for the meeting. As he had collected many proxies beforehand, he was assured that he would have the majority when voting. So it was voted to stop any legal action against the violators. The administrator said that this was a legal vote. Can this be true? Yes, the vote is le- David Searl gal but questions arise. You and the Law Properly, an issue of this in Spain importance should be on the agenda so the proxy issuers and others will be informed. However, even one owner can go to court if he observes infractions of the Horizontal Law, which we have here. The court will probably order that the results of the meeting be annulled, and a new EGM called to deal with the issues.

Mike Senker In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man SO, this week Lord Hain named Sir Philip Green, in the House of Lords, as the ‘celebrity’ who took out an injunction against the Daily Telegraph, to stop them naming him in accusations of alleged sexual harassment and racial abuse. The accusations, to be honest, are irrelevant, because recently many multi-millionaire businessmen in the UK have been accused of something. Hain himself resigned years ago due to an undeclared donation, and the fact he is involved with the law firm representing the Telegraph is surely a conflict of interest, even though he says he was unaware the firm was the same one he was paid by. Yeah, right, ok. Green, who I have no time for, got the injunction as he can afford it, proving there’s a law for the super wealthy and another for everyone else, which in itself is wrong. Hain’s rationale for using his Parliamentary privilege to name Green is that ‘it was in the public interest.’ Remember, these are just accusations at the moment. There is also a massive difference between the public interest and the public being interested. In my opinion, it’s not
in the public interest at all, but the public love reading this stuff. In it’s most basic form, a non-disclosure agreement is a legal contract between at least two parties, that outlines confidential material they share, but don’t wish to share with anyone else. In business it makes perfect sense, but the NDAs are used as a confidentiality agreement with those that receive a large sum of money for keeping their mouth shut about an allegation of wrong-doing. These days it’s mostly sexual harassment or worse. Why did the accused pay the accuser? It’s not unusual for these wealthy guys to pay to make accusations go away, and therefore never get to court. You never read about Mr Small Businessman being accused of these things. It’s not newsworthy, even if the ‘little’ man subsequently ends up in court and is found guilty. It doesn’t make the news and I’m sure a few of these settle and get an NDA. I think people should not be named until found guilty. The system is just wrong. Injunctions are useless because of the internet and Parliamentary privilege. If an MP doesn’t shout out the name, it’s printed in every paper that can be bothered to report it so it’s out in the open in days. Just put it in your preferred search engine and there it is. mikesenker@gmail.com

However, there is a need to look after your health and get out in the fresh air. Any thought of joining a walking club or health group should be pursued.

A meeting midweek could mean a change to your finances for the better. In the short term, it may be necessary for you to rearrange money and appointments but try not to be too put out. Change is something that we become less tolerant of after a situation has gone on for a time.

Finances are still firmly on the agenda, but this time you will be able to deal on a more relaxed basis.

Make a point of putting on a happy face and your mood will stay high. There is still some more to be done to improve your social life and a recent offer of charity work may be just the thing. Avoid restricting the sort of folk who you are willing to mix with.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) Being considerably more relaxed about those things which cannot be changed has taken a weight from your shoulders. It is also easier to understand why others have taken this approach in the past. There is, however, a balance to be found. Don't be put off by people who have become sloppy in their approach because this is not going to affect you.
LEO (July 24 - August 23) Are you still patting yourself on the
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) It is clear that you really love your hearth and home but, every now and again, there is a small voice calling. The good things in life appeal and, to have these, an effort is involved. Do not underestimate the amount of pleasure that you will enjoy when putting in that extra effort. It does, after all, involve other people. Some of those people prove to be quite fascinating.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Having put in extra effort to bring a zing into your life, it is important that you keep the impetus going. This is not only good for your health and wealth, but also your mind. Although trying something new brings a few odd remarks your way, try not to be sidetracked.
SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) There is still a strong accent on family matters and getting things sorted out. The way ahead is clear. If you are able to persuade someone that an idea was theirs and not yours, so much the better. Being in a practical mood serves you well because it is possible to get a lot done in the next few days. The weekend, however, is another matter.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Your mind is still sharp this week and there are many questions that you would like answered. Doing a bit of research proves fruitful and also quite amusing. A recent contact may not come up with the proposition hoped for, but realise that it is still early days.
QUIZ: MYTHICAL CREATURES 1. According to Irish folklore, leprechauns are solitary creatures who spend their time making and mending what? 2. Created in 1937 by novelist J R R Tolkien, what sort of imaginary creature is Bilbo Baggins? 3. ‘Every time a child says “I don't believe in fairies” there is a little fairy somewhere that falls down dead’ is a famous line from which 1904 play and a 1911 novel by J M Barrie? 4. In Enid Blyton’s series of Noddy books, what is the name of the wise, bearded brownie who lives in a toadstool house outside of Toyland and is Noddy's helper and father-figure? 5. In J K Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, what is the name of the house-elf who warns him not to return to Hogwarts and admits to intercepting Harry's post from his friends? 6.

He’s got a dark, dark heart Credit: itv
TV COUCH CRITIC by Adam Whalley-Lewis
ITV launched a new detective series last week, did you notice? Dark Heart played on Wednesday and Thursday, and will continue for the next couple of weeks. This has been done before, not just the moody policeman who likes to do a Bronte and stare across lakes in quiet reflection, but the actual show. An earlier version played about two years ago, but ITV have given it a spring clean and pushed it into the mid-week schedules. Tom Riley plays traditional policeman Will Wagstaffe, who doesn’t leave his feelings at the station door when he’s called in to investigate the torture and murder of alleged paedophiles. Is it just me, or is TV currently awash with this sort of thing? I know that real life is messy sometimes and yes, we need to talk
DARK HEART: A little too gloomy for autumn? about this ‘stuff’ much more, but isn’t there a place for a bit of quiet, lovely television? Will released some stress in episode two via a quick meet up with his ex-girlfriend, whilst struggling with the silence from the victims’ families. I don’t think this is going to get
any easier to watch, and I do wonder if it would have been better shown next spring. A little bit like poor Venice having too much water, I think darker evenings, grey clouds and a dark storyline might just be too much for an autumn success. I know many of us love a good
binge session of Come Dine with Me on Channel 4, and if you remember my lovely pal Val who watched the second Royal Wedding of the year with me, you might remember that she has a bit of insight. Val hasn’t been on the show, but knows someone who has - a little bit like ‘I’m asking for a friend’ on the problems page. Val - I mean her friend - has spoiled the Come Dine experience for me a bit, but a spoiler nevertheless. Apparently it’s hard work, early mornings, very late nights, masses of time between courses whilst cameras and lights are reset, no drinking between shots and worst of all, there is only one black cab which doesn’t actually go anywhere. You give your score, get out of the cab and go home in a normal taxi... we will still keep watching though, right? Dr Raj left Strictly last week and immediately gave an interview about the daily discrimination which he suffers as a Doctor
in the NHS. Discrimination like he described is never acceptable and it is a shame he didn’t go further, but his dancing was a bit off and others danced better. Kind of want to leave that one there. Bit of TV news, firstly in the shape of Bradley Walsh who is recording a new show for ITV. Titled ‘It’s Showtime’, this is apparently a bouncy show with live music, celebrity guests and audience participation. Careful Bradley, Mr Norton is a past master of this sort of thing and even Mr Ross sometimes doesn’t stack up. Watch out for It’s Showtime early next year. I’m a Celebrity is back soon with one of Ant and Dec and a Holly. The celebrities, well The Governess, will probably be in there with some reality TV types. Watch this space. Finally, news wise, Escape to the Chateau is back soon. Can’t wait. Happy Viewing HappyViewing1@outlook.com
A celebration of Canarian culture and identity LETTERS FROM CANARIES By Barbara Belt barbarabelt@gmail.com THE Fiestas Lustrales in La Gomera have kept us all very busy during October. We’re jaded now by so much partying but continuing apace till the island’s patron saint, the Virgen de Guadalupe, finally gets back to her chapel overlooking the sea at Puntallana, near island capital San Sebastián. Have a look at www.lustrales lagomera.es to marvel at how full on we’ve been. There’s been everything, from theatre, music concerts, maritime processions, fireworks, regattas, sports events, religious ceremonies, folklore, live TV and radio broadcasts, conferences, exhibitions, comedy shows, kids’ activities… to hunting dog competitions. Special ferries have been laid on to get us all to San Sebastián from other island ports, and from other islands. Guadalupe’s now on tour round the
PARTY: Juanes performed as part of the festivities.
ON TOUR: The virgin is on the return journey to her chapel. island until early December, when there’s a recuperative period for the liver until Christmas, New Year and Los Reyes are upon us. Shortly after, we burst into party mode again for carnival. Island life can be demanding. Fiestas Lustrales are the big bashes that occur (generally) every four or five years when the patron saint of an island comes out and goes on tour. They’re also called Bajadas, meaning
descents. This is mountainous terrain. All the western islands have Bajadas and coinciding with one is an intelligent idea if you’re thinking of visiting the Canaries. They are extraordinary events. Here’s a brief summary of when and where to experience them: La Gomera’s next one’s from September to December 2023, with the big day on October 8. The first was in 1872.
El Hierro’s Bajada has happened every four years since 1643. The next is July 3, 2021, when their Virgen de Los Reyes will be danced and piped the whole length of the island, although the festivities last longer. Add this one to your bucket list. Stout footwear, something warm for the before-daybreak start and a loaded hipflask are recommended. You won’t believe your eyes! Book flights and a bed well before, as the island’s 10,000 population doubles for the Fiestas Lustrales. La Palma’s Virgen de Las Nieves does her next four yearly tour on July 2, 2020 and has been doing so since 1680. There are excellent festivities
throughout July and August. Provincial capital Tenerife’s Bajadas are more complicated. The Virgen de Candelaria is patron saint of all the Canary Islands and only comes out from her church in Candelaria every seven years, going to either Santa Cruz or La Laguna. She’ll go to Santa Cruz in October 2025 and La Laguna in May 2032, exact dates to be announced. Tenerife’s first Bajada was in 1555. Gran Canaria only very occasionally celebrates Lustrales, while Lanzarote, Fuerteventura and La Graciosa don’t at all. Now, why don’t the eastern islands do Bajadas when the west are so mad keen on them? There’s lots of argument, but my money’s on their proximity to Africa and its diluting effect on the Catholicism Spanish conquerors imposed. The Bajadas today, though, are also celebrations of Canarian culture and identity and well worth seeing. Barbara Belt barbarabelt@gmail.com EWN November 2018.

ROSACEA - those painful red facial patches some of us suffer from- can be both uncomfortable and distressing. Often mistaken for acne or eczema, rosacea is an inflammatory condition which can cause the blood vessels in the face to swell and become more obvious. More commo n i n f a i r- sk i n n e d people, experts do not yet fully understand what causes rosacea, which first presents itself in the form of large, red bumps. While as yet not everything i s k n o wn a b o u t th e condition, doctors do agree there ar e v a r i o u s f a cto rs which can exacerbate the condition, and that avoiding these co u l d h e l p c o n tro l breakouts. The first and most important thing to do if you have developed any new, chronic skin condition on the face, such as itching, redness, or spots, is to see a pharmacist of doctor who may be able to advise you what you are suffering from. This is particularly important if the condition is near your eyes. Rosacea has four sub-types and if you are still uncertain, it may be helpful to consult a dermatologist who will be able to tell you exactly which condition you have in more detail.

Expat community free to express views Jamie Truby’s letter ‘Appalling Views bring shame’ (EWN 1739) has brought quite a response from our readers… ON reading the letter from Jamie Truby (Issue 1739), referring to Leapy Lee’s column, I could hear the chuckles from the expat community across Spain. Yes, Jamie, we are indeed fortunate to live in a country where anyone can air his/her views on any subject and not have to worry about the PC Brigade. Don’t worry, you’ll get used to Leapy. What is worrying is your reaction, coming from what you describe as ‘the civility of the UK.’At one time, any and all views could also be expressed in that country in public. It seems this is no longer the case. To paraphrase: ‘I may not always agree with Leapy’s opinions but I will defend to the death his right to express them.’ THAT, dear Jamie, is called Democracy.

This is one of the reasons I stopped going to hotels as it is difficult to find somewhere unless you get up really early, and I don’t want to if I’m on holiday.

Racist row as mum dresses daughter as Benidorm ‘looky looky’ beach seller for Halloween True racism is an abomination - it is basically condemning all based on race alone. Bandying the term around merely detracts from the actual meaning and lessens its impact. I just wish these PC libertards would get a grip on what is really important. Annie

As usual the PC brigade, so desperate to be offended on behalf of others, rush to condemn, spewing more hate
than is caused by the act itself. Are any of those complainants actually black? I suspect not, as they rarely are, black people have more sense than to get offended by a child dressing up. White liberals seek racism where it isn’t. Please just calm down, you just cause more racial division by indignantly stirring up hatred as you are doing now. John

Jazz festival A JAZZ festival is taking place in Rincon de la Victoria throughout the month in an event titled November Musical. The annual festival will for the first time take place at the Cueva del Tesoro and will feature acclaimed artists including the Granada guitarist Kiko Aguado, the Jose Carra Trio, also from Andalucia, and vocalist Raquel Pelayo. The concert cycle will finish with the saxophone quartet, the Sinoidal Ensemble, all of whom are teachers from the Malaga Conservatory. Similarly, and hot on the heels of the jazz festival, is a traditional concert in honour of Santa Cecilia by the Rincon de la Victoria municipal music band. Antonio Jose Martin, councillor for Culture in Rincon de la Victoria, explained, “November Musical is one of the most anticipated events of the season, which this year is marked by a big change because we will host the festival at the Cueva del Tesoro. “We put together this union to avoid losing out on activities during the summer and because November is the month of music in Rincon de la Victoria.”
The mayor of Rincon de la Victoria, Francis Salado, added, “it will be a very full month with… the Cueva del Tesoro Festival and a concert in honour of Santa Cecilia… this musical proposal seeks to make our cultural offering multi-seasonal. It is something that the council has been working on because we know it is a fundamental part of our community.” The events, which will all take place at the Cueva del Tesoro on Avenida de Picasso with the exception of the Santa Cecilia concert, which will take place at the Nues-
tra Senora del Rosario church in La Cala del Moral, are all free of charge. Beginning tomorrow night with the Jose Carra trio at 8pm, the festival continues the following day also at 8pm with the Raquel Pelayo Quartet.

rakes and trowels. Mower blades, shears and secateurs as well as old iron spades or hoes (don’t try to sharpen stainless-steel ones) will benefit from a light touch-up too, which will make them easier to use. It is a good idea to invest in a decent sharpening stone if you have a workbench with a vice for holding blades steady while you work on them, ideally several of different sizes and grades for different sorts of blades. Alternatively, you can get tool-sharpening attachments for electric drills which are effective and easy to use. If you can’t, or don’t want to sharpen your tools yourself, look out for the sort of oldfashioned hardware shop that can do it for you. Once your tools are clean and dry, take a can of easing oil such as WD40 and spray all the metal surfaces generously to stop them rusting, paying particular attention to

Cassandra Nash A weekly look - and not entirely impartial reaction to the Spanish political scene
PARTIDO POPULAR Pablo Casado’s aggressiveness and verbal incontinence regarding Pedro Sanchez, his government, and socialist Spain is not doing him any favours. The latest CIS survey put the PP third, with 17.3 per cent of a hypothetical election vote, overtaken by the PSOE’s 31.6 per cent and Ciudadanos’ 21 per cent. Predictably, Casado has questioned the survey’s veracity and impartiality. There are lies, statistics and numbers can be taken out of context, twisted and turned into whatever their manipulator wishes, the PP claimed. That may be true, but it is also preferable to swallowing the indigestible fact that Soraya Saenz de Santamaria, the former vice-president and Mariano Rajoy’s righthand woman, would make a more seasoned and reasonable party president than tox-
An indigestible fact Lacking integrity
ic young fogey Pablo Casado.
The baksheesh syndrome A HIGH court investigation has discovered that the Spanish company Defex paid illegal commissions to Saudis and others, for arms sales. In 2017, Swiss banks blocked accounts that paid out at least €7.6 million in commissions and bribes, in exchange for Saudi contracts, prompting outrage from their unnamed clients. Like priests keeping mum about confessed sins, Swiss banks are expected to silence even the most terrible transgressions, unless they are faced with a derogatory letter from an outside government.
RETIRED police chief Jose Manuel Villarejo is remanded for trafficking privileged state information, amongst other things. With a detective agency as a sideline, this confidant of ministers, fixer and possible extorter, apparently told a fellow prisoner that he was saving the best for last. The latest victim of his bugged and leaked conversa
FEATURE
tions, is Dolores de Cospedal, former Defence Minister, former Partido Popular secretary general and former president of the Castilla-La Mancha region. Villarejo allegedly gave De Cospedal’s husband Ignacio Lopez del Hierro, the heads up about Gurtel developments, and he didn’t do that from the kindness of his heart. Whatever form his final revenge will take, he is demonstrating his power in small, deadly doses, revealing the duplicity and lack of integrity of those he has helped in the past. Who next? How many Spanish politicians are waiting for the second shoe to drop?
Blockade turnaround UNSEASONED: Is Pablo Casado a toxic young fogey? As rich as the Saudis are, a little more is always welcome, and it is entirely in character, that Defex- which is 51 per cent-owned by the Spanish state - paid the Saudis bribes and commissions
between 1992 and 2014. After all, the kickback syndrome is based on baksheesh, another legacy from the Moors, along with the Alhambra, tangerines and turron.
ASTUTE Ciudadanos leader Albert Rivera, saw the light and shied away from the Partido Popular and Pablo Casado. Rivera no longer backs the PP’s bid to block 40 measures from going through parliament. These include a reform preventing the Senate from stymieing Pedro Sanchez’s 2019 Budget. The C’s leader knows that preventing changes that will benefit those who suffered most during the crisis, and the Rajoy governments would alienate the Centre votes that he needs. Unlike Casado, Rivera is aware that ambition needs leavening with pragmatism, and an eye for the main chance.

“McLaren hits top gear The US Peerless Car Company was founded in 1900 but by the 1930’s it saw a brighter future in beer, so it bought a licence from Carling to produce their Red Cap and Black Label beers.
MCLAREN has revealed its fastest ever road car. The 250mph Speedtail. Described as the modern version of the F1, the three-seater comes with an incredible price tag. Marketed at €2 million, anybody who wishes to own one of these supercars will have to fork out around €2.4 million after taxes. But while replacing one of the greatest cars of all time is no easy task, McLaren’s latest supercar entry has plenty to shout about in its own right. Built with a 5.2-metre long sweeping body, it is designed to be as aerodynamic as possible, while still offering plenty for the eye to enjoy. This includes an all-carbon fibre body, aluminium active suspension and carbon ceramic brakes, while the flashy motor boasts a petrol-electric hybrid engine capable of 1,035bhp, which gives the car the power to accelerate from 0-186mph in an eye-watering 12.8 seconds. However, arguably the most interesting feature of the Speedtail is its interior setup. Fitted with just three seats, the driver is centrally located in the cockpit, just like
the famous McLaren F1. The racing-inspired position can place a passenger either side of the driver, in the teardrop-shaped compartment. Unlike most supercars, this one is actually built for grand touring, rather than track performance, meaning that more thought and care has been lavished on the interior. The inside is trimmed with carbon fibre, airline leather and other exclusive materials, all of which can be customised through the McLaren Special Operations department. The Speedtail is due for delivery in 2020, with McLaren offering an exclusive line of just 106 cars.
NEED FOR SPEED: The Speedtail lives up to its name.
Mazda 6 reinvented IT is hard to think of a car that that has had more makeovers than the Mazda 6. However, even though it has had four updates, only five years have passed since the model was first revealed. This is the sturdiest version yet, with an entirely new interior, two new engines, but with only slight tweaks to the styling. The 2.2-litre diesel option delivers plenty of kick in the rev range, so you’re never short changed pulling away from a junction or going for an overtake. Apart from the acceleration, the Mazda 6 is pleasingly quiet on the move, and there is good body control over larger bumps and undulations. Quick, light steering makes the 6 feel agile, but it can also result in turning into corners a little more quickly than you’d expect, and there is some steering kick-back over bumps. Mazda wants the 6 series to compete on level terms with cars like the BMW-Series and the Audi A4, and the interior has undergone quite the revamp. The result is impressive, taste-

ful design, expensive-feeling plastics and some upmarket touches like a dashboard slathered in faux-suede on topspec models. The infotainment system, while still commendable for its clarity and ease of use, is starting
to look a little dated next to the plush, high-resolution widescreen systems in its rivals. There are split-folding rear seats which you can flop down from within the boot thanks to clever releases sited at the top of the boot opening.

ENGLAND’S rugby union team hung on to claim a breathless 12-11 victory over South Africa at Twickenham to get their autumn internationals off to a winning start. An inexperienced pack felt the full force of South African physicality in the first half, and England’s indiscipline soon hurt them. Hendre Pollard slotted over an early penalty for the Boks and England lock Maro Itoje was then sin-binned for not rolling away after a try-saving tackle on Sbu Nkosi.

But Pollard missed the conversion and when Farrell nailed his second long-ranger, England were somehow only two points down at half-time. But England’s penalty count continued to climb when play resumed, and it was only handling errors from South Africa that let them off the hook. Then out of nowhere England took the lead, with fullback Elliott Daly smashing a huge 46m penalty over for a 9-8 lead. Confidence began to flow with Farrell, Daly and Jonny May all making runs into
Springbok territory. Pollard knocked over a penalty of his own from distance to wrestle back the lead, but Daly then went on a scything run only for Brad Shields to spill the ball three metres out. However, England smashed the Springboks at the subsequent scrum and Farrell stroked over his third penalty to make it 12-11. Agonisingly for South African fly-half Hendre Pollard, he saw a penalty of his own clip the outside of the right post with four minutes remaining.

The Reds will feel hard done by after a first-half strike from Sadio Mane was incorrectly ruled out for offside. Liverpool will next play Fulham at Anfield on Sunday, while Arsenal will face Wolves.

La Liga Preview
Real rise from the ashes REAL MADRID grabbed a fortunate victory against Real Valladolid in Santiago Solari’s first game in charge, which was their first league win in six games. Valladolid hit the crossbar twice in the second half before a late deflected strike gave Madrid the lead. Brazilian teenager Vinicius Jr cut in from the right wing and hit an effort that was going well off target until it hit defender Kiko Olivas. Sergio Ramos then chipped in a late penalty after Karim Benzema was fouled, and Ramos’ last five league goals have all been penalties. Real had only picked up one point from their previous five La Liga games, including last Sunday’s 5-1 thrashing by Barcelona, a result which cost boss Julen Lopetegui his job. Los Blancos will next face Celta Vigo on Sunday, while Real Valladolid will entertain Eibar on Saturday. Barcelona stole two late goals to beat struggling Rayo Vallecano in a thriller, extending their lead at the top of La Liga to four points. Luis Suarez put Barca ahead from Jordi Alba’s cutback, but Jose Pozo equalised with an excellent 25-yard shot. Substitute Alberto Garcia tapped home with his first touch as Payo looked set for a much needed second La Liga win of the season.

Makinson hat- Rose triumphs in Turkey trick kills Kiwis
MAKING IT HAPPEN: Tommy Makinson was the stand out performer.
Maumalo on the wing for a simple run in. Shaun Johnson added a further two points before England hit back with Makinson’s second try of the match in the corner. England piled on the pressure and Tom Burgess got over the line only to be held up by three Kiwi defenders. But the match was soon all square as Connor went over after a New Zealand handling error. Then it was time for Makinson to claim his third and best try of the evening, scampering inside off his wing before snaking his way to the try line including a side-step to get past the full-back.
ENGLAND’S Justin Rose regained the world number one spot after successfully defending his Turkish Airlines Open title, overcoming China’s Li Haotong in a playoff on Sunday. Rose carded five birdies in a typically consistent display to take a one-shot advantage after 16 holes in the final round at the Antalya event. However, he bogeyed the 17th hole to slip back into a share of first with overnight leader Li. Mediocre putts on the 18th from both Li and Rose meant they both finished at 17-under-par after 72 holes. Both players returned to the playoff and after Rose missed a 15- footer for birdie, Li surprisingly threeputted from just nine yards to hand his opponent the title. The 23-year-old Li said: “A tough day for me, honestly. “I think I played well the whole week, but didn’t hole a few putts on the last and that was it.” It was the first time Rose had successfully defended a title in his career and it moved him above witter stinRose99/T Credit: @Ju

TOMMY MAKINSON stole the show with a hat-trick of tries as England’s rugby league side sealed the threematch series with a 20-14 victory over New Zealand at Anfield. The St Helens’ winger followed a thumping try-saving tackle with three clinical tries as England battled back to win a bruising second Test. Makinson’s decisive score, in which he weaved through the Kiwi defence and beat the full-back to score, completed a superb individual performance. Jake Connor claimed England’s other try as the hosts overturned a 14-6 deficit to win the series before this Sunday’s final Test in Leeds. Connor put the hosts into an early lead with a penalty before Kiwi captain Dallin Watene-Zelezniak scored the opening try for the visitors. England drew level before
American Brooks Koepka at the top of the world rankings. Spaniard Adrian Otaegui and Belgian Thomas Detry both finished with rounds of 65 to share third on 15 under.
