9 February - Earth shaking. Turkish news and Covid news

Turkish Earthquake
Not being a TV watcher myself I have been spared seeing footage of the devastation caused by the powerful earthquakes in Turkey. 7·8 on the Richter Scale followed by 7·5 a few hours later, however I have seen some harrowing scenes via Twitter etc. They are quite bad enough.

We have two Turkish Councillors in Bexley, one has been friendly whenever our paths have crossed and the other is one of those who has never so much as glanced in my direction.

Turkey AppealTwo years ago the helpful one found my phone number and called to offer assistance to someone whose plight had been reported here. I sneakily kept his mobile number on file and presuming he must have family ‘back home’ and being concerned that he may have been bereaved I cast caution to the wind and called him. Fortunately no one especially close to him has been injured or worse but he knows of some who have not been so lucky.

As you might have expected from such a helpful sort of guy he is involved in the collection of items that can be shipped out to Turkey.

Winter clothing, coats, hats scarfs, gloves, shoes, blankets, baby clothes, nappies and baby wipes are desperately required. No rubbish please, it takes too long to sort and dispose of items which are dirty or threadbare.

If you have some which can be passed on they are being collected between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. next Saturday 11th February at the Girls School in Blackfen Road, Sidcup DA15 9NU. Not far from the Shell garage.

I am assured that parking won’t be a problem.


Parking again
Bad parkingMy zero tolerance approach to local commuter parking is being assisted by a couple in the next road who have been doing the same thing. Some days the parking is inconsiderate rather than rule breaking but no one is interested in upholding the Highway Code any more so such drivers get away with it.

The attached photo is the only one from this morning’s haul. Bexley Council was on the scene quite soon after the report was made.

The hope is that enough lessons will be learned by drivers to have an impact on their behaviour while Bexley’s Highways Department twiddles its thumbs and looks the other way.

Meanwhile I calculate that my camera has earned Bexley Council about twice as much money this year as they have extracted from me via their 25th worst Council Tax rate in London.


SloppyStyle recycling
Broken binThe fake CCTV notices that SloppyStyle put over the nearby bins have succeeded so far in suppressing thoughtless fly tipping but a problem that has existed for many months remains unresolved.

The lid on the paper bin has not been locked for getting on for a year so it is easy to lift it to take a photograph or fill it it with plastic sacks, canvas bags or miscellaneous ironmongery.

Then SloppyStyle will deem it contaminated and not empty it and it will be at that point that the fly tipping will become more obvious.


Covid sceptics
My second Astra Zeneca Covid-19 injection caused me a worrying bad reaction but when I went to the doctor about it I was fobbed off to a nurse who apologetically told me she was under instructions not to refer vaccine injuries to hospital. The useless Bexley Group Practice again.

It was around that time that I decided that government was lying to us and I started studying the Covid statistics more closely, but not as closely as Doctor John Campbell who has been analysing health issues for 30 years and published more than 2,000 YouTube videos. Recently he has been taking a long hard look at Covid statistics.

The video linked here, in the space of 20 minutes, takes you to the data published by government, pharmaceutical companies and the World Health Organisation. The doctor never actually says so for fear of being ‘Cancelled’, but if you put all his official information together you can clearly see what I have long suspected. With Covid as with most things, all governments are lying and sweeping huge numbers of deaths under the carpet.

My own ‘vaccine injury’ has almost gone away now.
