Chiswick Masseur Convicted of Voyeurism

And yesterday a senior BBC executive narrowly avoided jail - because he had suffered a previous heart attack - for downloading over 800 images of child pornography including child sexual abuse (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10402929/Retired-BBC-director-76-832-child-abuse-images-gasps-shock-avoids-jail.html)It has never been easier to be a "Peeping Tom".... which can lead to serious mental disorder and sexual offences including rape and murder. The murderer of Sarah Everard bought porn on line. Solutions?

Yet more parties

I was slightly more worried about this post as people were angry at my last post. I am amazed that yet more parties in Downing Street has happened in lockdown- I stayed at home during this time and the really awful numbers of deaths were really terrible - people waving at their loved ones in care homes - etc etc . Downing Street have had absolutely no concerns as parties parties were more important for them - I give up.

Was sent this form to apply for permission to drive into Staveley Road as resident of FR CPZhttps://www.hounslow.gov.uk/xfp/form/417Seems to work - need proof of address and vehicle ownership doc.“ Thank you for submitting your Vehicle Exemption form to the London Borough of Hounslow.

Over £400,000 Spent on Ferry That Never Ran

Can we get the money back, please? It was obvious to anyone who lives by the very strongly tidal Thames that it is not possible to run a ferry service, even for pedestrians (not cars) unless new pontoons are constructed. No body wants to shell out for new pontoons. TfL is in a terrible financial state after Covid. Please try to get the money back, please?

Ealing Council bin lorries

I was a little surprised to see a picture of a London ambulance captioned as an 'Ealing Council bin lorry'... disturbing on many levels! http://www.chiswickw4.com/default.asp?section=community&spage=common/eaaccident002.htm

Air pollution warning

Owing (I think) to a lack of wind, air pollution is expected to be high over most of London today.

TfL Funding Crisis

https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/tfl-funding-crisis-sadiq-khan-government-bailout-tube-buses-b971655.htmlHaving failed to get further funding from Government, by yet again penalizing motorists be they commercial or private, Sadiq Khan / TfL have been given an extra week to come up with idea(s) that the Government will approve unlike his first suggestions.Anyone got suggestions for Sadiq Khan ?How about a levy on Cyclists - there's a veritable Pandora's Box of possible revenue generators from that sector eg. commuters, commercial cargo / delivery bikes to name but a few 😉

Question time tomorrow

Interesting to find out how Boris will handle this new party with 100 people- he didn’t turn up today in parliament- I found this showing what a coward he is. I wonder what he will say tomorrow- Not the greatest of behaviour by a prime minister .
