Labour's Lockdown Lies

Oh dear ...🙄"In a sensational U-turn, Labour acknowledged that Angela Rayner was also at the event on April 30 last year at which Sir Keir was filmed enjoying a beer with officials at a time when indoor socialising was banned. A Labour spokesman said last night: 'Angela was present.' A party source claimed the previous denials had been 'an honest mistake'. It directly contradicts assurances given to the Daily Mail over the past three months that Mrs Rayner was 'not there'. The admission came only after this newspaper confronted Labour officials with video evidence that Mrs Rayner had joined Sir Keir at an online rally for activists filmed in the Durham offices of Labour MP Mary Foy where the party leader was later seen drinking. The extraordinary revelation raises questions about whether Labour's deputy leader also broke lockdown rules."https://mol.im/a/10764879

Post-Covid Lockdown - "Grifter" Back In Our Community

I wanted to warn the local community that a "fairly well-known face" has re-appeared over recent weeks (back in Putney and surrounding areas) having seemingly been generally absent while Covid lock-downs were in force."Alison" (believed to be her birth name) uses a number of aliases, and over recent years has been "working" the local community organsiations (rowing / cycling clubs and other like social hubs etc.) - seeking to ingratiate herself into peoples' houses - not only seeking accommodation - but in particular, trying to house sit / dog care etc. for locals).Once "Alison" has access to an address - she will habitually commence every type of fraud known - coupled with a postal re-direct with Royal Mail - so the first a property owner will generally know about the problems are when bailiffs turn up looking for a person whose name the property owner / occupier does not recognise.The police are well aware of the individual's activities (but have limited resources - although they have been quite successful in ensuring proprietors of premises with public wifi in this area - have stopped the individual undertaking "key logger" frauds in their premises).Be aware that we are a generally prosperous community, with good credit histories (and somewhat naive as to the ways of the world).

Circus posters

Could readers please support me by removing circus flyposting on PHS and surrounding streets. I have removed about 30 or so, but URR needs doing I havnt looked on LRR. They are also all down Fulham Road up to Wandsworth Bridge Road. All over Kings Arms on other side of bridge. We are trying to get businesses back.. Just wish the Putney Bid did something more than just taking money off businesses.. Have done some street cleaning outside Lydl but poor result, still very stained, maybe because stains become embedded when left 6 months or more

Barnes Hospital Development

I am really saddened to see the article on the front page of PutneySW15 regarding the redevelopment of Barnes Hospital.  Barnes Hospital provided care for older people with mental health problems.  Anyone know where they are treated now?  Perhaps Richmond Council could tell us?   The development is inappropriate on this site because access down the narrow street along side the railway is just not sufficient for a development of this size.  It’s going to create terrible traffic problems.
Why can’t they just leave it as a hospital for older people, it is a lovely site.  I think the LibDems of Richmond Council are heartless to do this.

Residents Opposing Putney Animal Hospital Development

Say plan to build flats at site will led to loss of light and privacy.  Report on homepage. As I said at the time when residents were baying for the Hospital's closure, be careful what you wish for ...

Non-dom status to be abolished by Labour

Pleased to see that the Labour Party has announced that it will abolish Non-dom tax status.This coincides with the Mail on Sunday’s appalling and unjustified attack on Angela Raynor. Of course the Daily Mail is owned by the 4th Viscount Rothermere, Jonathan Harmsworth:He has non-domicile (non-dom) tax status and owns his media businesses through a complex structure of offshore holdings and trusts. According to the International Business Times: "The Daily Mail owner did not deny claiming tax concessions as "non-dom", though he insisted this was because his father had lived in France.“ Oh yeah …Nick

Anybody know anything about 16mm cine projector?

I've just bought a 2nd hand one, and was assured it was in good working order when it left them. Seems to have a small fault now which may have happened in transit, which prevents me from showing our old family films from 30's onwards. Having trouble finding anyone in London with 16mm knowledge. Don't think it's a big job. Thought it worth asking here! Thanks
