thedailyecho--2020-10-13--LETTER: We are stuck with another four years of chaos

AS WE all know , with the help of a few slogans and catchphrases , as well as the fervent support of media tycoons , the Conservative Party achieved a majority of 80 seats in December .
With this week ’ s latest news of MPs about to receive a pay rise of £3300 as coronavirus puts millions of jobs at risk , I started to wonder what our local MPs actually do for us in Romsey and Southampton North and North West Hants .
Ms Nokes prides herself on her response rate to constituents which is commendable , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are just words on a page ?
In her recent Letter from Westminster page she talks of “ venting her frustrations ” , as well as saying “ if I have the opportunity to contribute ” and so on .
We need more than words and a fast response rate from a set of stock replies .
Her Party is in charge and has been for the last 10 years .
The pandemic , Brexit , climate change , the recession and now the threat of locals having any say in local planning @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , who can we turn to ?
Our local authorities and public services are starved of funding - we are increasingly reliant on the admirable work of local charities , food and community banks , and the truly inspirational work of community volunteers and groups .
Sadly , we are stuck with another four years of chaos , chumocracy and further cuts – oh , and by the look of it , fast large-scale ( but mostly unaffordable ) development in rural Test Valley .
It is a pity that is what Conservative @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they wanted at the ballot boxes .

We need more than words and a fast response rate from a set of stock replies.

The pandemic, Brexit, climate change, the recession and now the threat of locals having any say in local planning say just to satisfy developers and investors, who can we turn to?

It is a pity that is what Conservative supporters, its councillors and voters decided they wanted at the ballot boxes.

Speaking on ITV's This Morning, the finance expert said he is "not a fan of gift cards", after viewers asked what their rights are in terms of using Cineworld gift cards now the cinema chain has closed.
During the segment he issued a stern warning against buying loved-ones gift cards for Christmas.
He said: "The biggest answer I can give you and anyone else is, and I've said this many times before but never has it been more pertinent - I am extremely anti gift cards."
Martin Lewis speaking on ITV's This Morning
"The simple fact is that first of all some of them date - so someone buys them for you and if you don't use them in two years they are not worth it.
"But more importantly, if the company goes bust they are worthless.
"You just have to claim as a creditor on the administator."
The struggling cinema chain, which is also behind Picturehouse cinemas, has been forced to close all of its 127 locations in the UK due to covid.
Blockbuster movie releases including the nest James Bond movie No Time To Die have been pushed back to next year because of coronavirus, prompting the temporary closures.
Martin continued: "In this time of terrible uncertainty, and retailers won't like me saying this, the last thing I would be giving anyone for Christmas is a gift card, unless it is from a company I was absolutely rock certain."

Gift vouchers are worth only what the company say they are worth, and if it goes bust, that can end up being nothing.

Another reason Martin said for avoiding gift cards is that many have a limited time to use them.
Martin said "Some of them date, so if someone buys them for you and you don't use them in two years they're not worth anything."
Shoppers lost almost £100million in unused vouchers as stores closed during coronavirus lockdown, according to Which? research.

Imposing restrictions on freedom such as lockdown on citizens violates their human right to freedom by locking people in their own homes, and changes the terms under which they can be detained – similar in many eyes to the terms of those on remand, awaiting an asylum decision or detained under the Mental Health Act.
This is an abuse of power by ministers with little accountability for their decisions which can and do attract punishment and fines for ordinary citizens who have done nothing wrong except live their life in their own homes the way they have done, and should be free to continue.
This without any proper scrutiny of ministerial decisions, by the public or parliament, of their abuse of power and lack of accountability for this.
It represents nothing more than democracy abandoned.

Boris Johnson and his brigade of dubious politicians have now passed the buck in reporting on the spread and effects of the coronavirus is concerned.
The Office for National Statistics is even worse than the government were when reporting the status of the coronavirus in the UK.
For instance, despite a rapid rise in this virus in almost every part of the UK, including the south where the rate of the virus is many cases has surpassed those of northern counties where additional restrictions have been added, the Office for National Statistics is still saying the infectious rate within the UK is slowing down.
They need to get the facts right in order to stop confusing the public and the government needs to enforce a total lockdown to avoid the deaths of more innocent citizens.
At present in this society chaos reigns.

thedailyecho--2020-10-13--Labour leader Keir Starmer calls for short 'circuit-breaker' lockdown to control coronavirus

Sir Keir Starmer has called on Boris Johnson to impose a short “ circuit-breaker ” lockdown across England to bring the coronavirus resurgence under control .

In his most dramatic intervention to date, Sir Keir said a two to three-week national lockdown was needed to improve test and trace and prevent a “sleepwalk into a long and bleak winter”.
He told a televised press conference that Mr Johnson was “no longer following the scientific advice” by proposing “far less stringent restrictions” than suggested by the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage).
Sir Keir said: “There’s no longer time to give the Prime Minister the benefit of the doubt. The Government’s plan simply isn’t working. Another course is needed.”
He said schools must stay open but that all pubs, bars and restaurants should be closed during the circuit-breaker, while firms are compensated so “no business loses out” in order to “break the cycle” of infection.
“If we don’t, we could sleepwalk into a long and bleak winter. That choice is now for the Prime Minister to make. I urge him to do so,” Sir Keir said.

Timothy Brehmer, 41, of Hordle in the New Forest, is accused of murdering Claire Parry – with whom he’d been having an affair – on Saturday, May 9, at the Horns Inn car park.
Salisbury Crown Court heard yesterday how Brehmer and Mrs Parry, also 41 and of Bournemouth, met at the car park and started arguing at around 3pm.
After the row, Mrs Parry died of a brain injury due to compression to her neck – Brehmer claims he was trying to get her out the car and “went too far”, denying murder, admitting manslaughter.
The court heard from Kate Rhodes, a Dorset police officer who engaged in a relationship with Brehmer in 2011, that a Louisa Morgan messaged her asking about Brehmer in March this year.
Mrs Parry created a fake account under the name of Louisa Morgan and spoke to Ms Rhodes about how she had “fallen” for Brehmer. Ms Rhodes said in the messages she had experienced the same thing with the defendant, and wanted Louisa to “destroy” him.
In a message to Louisa, Ms Rhodes said: “He broke me and caused me no ends of problems at work. He talked about an exit strategy from his wife but she fell pregnant.”
Louisa Morgan replied stating that Brehmer “broke her too”.
Mrs Parry later introduced her real account to Ms Rhodes, although the latter always believed them to be different people. The conversation ended on May 9 when Mrs Parry said she was going to tell Martha, Brehmer’s wife, about the affair.
After the incident in the pub car park, CCTV footage played in court showed Brehmer walk to the entrance and sit down, where Rachel and Lloyd Bartlett, on a family bike ride, stopped to help treat wounds to his arm.
Mrs Bartlett called 999 where she said: “He said he’s been stabbed. We think there might be another casualty. I think one might have stabbed the other. He’s hysterical so it’s really hard to get anything from him.”
Mrs Bartlett said she could tell by Brehmer’s body language that there was someone behind him in the car park and her husband went to check.
First-aid trained Mark Herridge arrived on the scene and he and Mr Bartlett went to the car and could see Mrs Parry “hanging out the driver’s side door”.
Mr Bartlett then returned to Brehmer to try and calm him down.
He told the court: “He was quite hysterical at the time. He asked me ‘is she dead’, I said ‘is she your partner’, to which he said, ‘no we have been having an affair for years’.
“I believe he said she had stabbed him, and he had never seen her so angry.”
Mr Herridge told the court he saw a female body hanging out the driver’s side of the car with “blue face and blue lips, blood in her mouth”.
He added: “I could see the victim was lifeless. I needed to get something out of (Brehmer) to see if he knew her. I asked him if he knew her, he said she was going to tell his wife.”
Mr Herridge took over the 999 call from Mrs Bartlett and he told the operator he didn’t know if Brehmer had been stabbed but he had three lacerations to his left wrist.
He said Mr Bartlett had told him Brehmer stabbed himself, although Mr Bartlett told the court he didn’t remember saying this.
It was later discovered the wounds were self-inflicted.
Brehmer denies murder, the trial continues.

A Southampton woman, the parent of a young man with sever learning difficulties who has asked not to be identified, has expressed her concern after she discovered a number of personal photographs, letters and emails from parents, carers and residents of Water Lane Care Home run by Lifeways.
The care home on Water Lane closed in 2019 and residents were moved to sister homes in the area.
The property is currently being refurbished and items left in the home have been thrown into a large skip.
While walking past the home on the afternoon of Friday, October 9, they noticed personal pictures of residents who had been living at the home, as well as letters and emails with names, email addresses and personal information.
Some of the photos were of the residents, young people living with learning disabilities, in a swimming pool, including photos of her son and his friends who resided in Water Lane.

She added: "Should a skip with such content be left for so long out side for the public to go through? This surely must break some kind of data protection act.
"[Water Lane] could not even protect personal images of my son and his friends."
Lifeways explained that they had organised for all personal information to be "securely" stored or destroyed. They added that they will be taking "urgent steps" to investigate the incident.
