5G Coming to Fulham, Problems

I was initially excited to hear we were getting 5G, until I heard from a friend of mine in the states about worrying health implications of this new technology. Apparently a US senator has asked the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) to prove it is save before it is rolled out, Due to the many emerging health implications being highlighted by concerned groups all over the US and some in the UK. Having had cancer myself we need to make sure this is safe before having this technology forced upon us!Join me in asking your MP about it.

Look After My Bills Nightmare.

To save people the agony of having to deal with a future nightmare  with Look After My Bills and Utility Point please read their horrendous reviews on Trustpilot.                                  This is an email I received from Trustpilot this week.                                                People are reading your review!Hi Neil Milkins,You recently wrote a review on Trustpilot and it looks like people find it helpful.117 people have already read your review.                                                                                                       LOOK AFTER MY BILLS SHAMBLES.It is now 12 weeks since Look After My Bills without my knowledge or permission changed my energy provider from S.S.E. to Utility Point. Jacqueline Loughman promised me 9 weeks ago that they would resolve the matter within 14 days. A week ago their senior complaints manager Daniel promised me he would phone me on (29-12-20) and have the matter resolved. No phone call and no answer to my emails to him. In the meantime I am going to have a sky high electric and gas bill when this matter is resolved. It is near impossible to get a reply from them once you have emailed and phoned them and it is totally impossible to phone Utility Point as ALL their phone lines have been cut off. I have been on the phone and emailing 19 hours in total trying to sort this mess out. Anyone thinking of going with Look After My Bills or Utility Point please check their horrendous reviews on Trustpilot.

A funny and serious note to local policing team

Just a funny email to our Community Policing team that highlights some very important issues.  Thank you Constable for your call yesterday and effective resolution.  I am impressed that you managed to do what every single officer over the last 16 years has failed to do though allbeit under a little duress from myself and reluctance from yourself, I am genuinely thankful and hope this will be the end of the matter, in your case at least, AND, that this will free up your time to be able to focus on the most important task of our "Community Policing".  I would have to rate your performance as a Two out of Five BUT, as I'm aware of the Complicated, Complex, Confusing, Capitulative, Combatant, Corrupt and Deceptive System of BULLSHIT that you have to go through each day just to be able to do your job, and that I have researched a little,  I would like to give you a 3.5 out of 5 review with just a few "Developmental Points" as below that you may like to think about OR discuss with your Superior.Responding in a Timely & Appropriate Manner - As the call took 6 days to resolve this seems to be a area for improvement.  As it was a VERY VERY simple call and the most basic function of the Policing system IS to prevent any breech of the peace I would have expected that this matter could have been dealt with far more simply and in a timely manner by just employing a little bit of Common Sense and our Common Law, at your Discretion..  This would have prevented such resources being thrown at such a simple call and prevented taking up your valuable time in having to travel all the way to Hammersmith to View CCTV Cameras which is not an effective use of your time.  I would urge you to trust yourself Constable and use your discretion as a stitch in time saves Nine. It may also preserve life and it could also prevent any future possible Civil actions being taken out against you Personally by members of Our Community who are also unhappy with the service that is currently being implemented by Our Policing Service. WIN/WINPrioritizing and Efficiency - As this was a simple call that "In Reality" COULD have been dealt with immediately but was not a serious offence such as the Murder on the ward that you informed me of I would draw your attention to the Franklin Covey Time Management system. It is a simple goal orientated style of Time Management that could help you to decide about how best you prioritise your "IMPORTANT" work..  As a Community Officer I believe that your role is to "Prevent Crime" so paying attention to the more minor issues is indeed just as important as paying attention to the Major issues such as the Murder that you mentioned and I do wonder (A LOT) if indeed these Major Crimes that we are witnessing are due to a lack of Preventative Policing or as I like to call it FAILURE TO UPHOLD COMMON LAW, ACCIDENTALLY AND ON PURPOSE WITH A VIEW TO CAUSING MORAL DECLINE IN OUR COMMUNITIES. Acting with Integrity - You did acknowledge and apologize for the delay in getting back to me, after I had to raise this delay with Sargent Noon via your complaints process and I thank you for that.  However you went on to say that this was due to the Murder that happened on the Ward the previous night, after your shift had finished?  This makes absolutely no sense and I was left feeling very perplexed.  I realize that you really do have a difficult job but would urge you please to be a little more truthful in your dealings as this will raise your sense of wellbeing.Acting like a Human Being - In informing me of this Murder that has happened on the Ward I must say that you sounded pleased to inform me?? Truly and Genuinely I did actually find this quite sinister.  We mourn deeply the deaths of Our Children that are currently being killed on our Streets and our thoughts are with the Families of both the Victim and the Murderer.  And I am very saddened that whatever training that you seem to have had prevents you from recognizing this loss in its true capacity and I genuinely do hope that you at lease make as much opportunity as possible outside of work to engage in Empathy building activities.Obviously Constable I am completely joking with you in an attempt to highlight very serious issues and If I do get a win from the cases that I shall be taking out against the officers that ignored my initial call I shall let you know as I shall be asking that they each give £100 to a Fund for the Victims of the Rotherham Abuse Scandal that was facilitated by our Police. As the Victims of this crime have been let down by our National Health Service AND Government and they have to pay privately for treatment which they cannot afford as they are left traumatised with no means to be able to pay for the treatment that they need.  You may want to match this as an act of generosity.

Concern Raised for Future of Borough Archives

World Economic Forum, One World Government - The Great Reset

I would like to draw people's attention to "The Great Reset" that is being implemented by our Government. It is part of the World Economic Forum, One World Government that 197 Governments have signed up for.  Details of this can be found on the World Economic Forum website and I would urge people to do some research on this subject.  From what I have seen "The Plan" is to remove Sovereignty and all Property rights- Their slogan is "You will own nothing and you will be happy" however in doing so they also remove our right to privacy and freedom and is in effect the Chinese Model of Communism.  Our Government has already signed up for this Model and have been slowly introducing some of the Policies via our Councils and other Government Agencies. I would also urge people to read the Document that has gone out to all Police Inspectors in England and Northern Ireland detailing this Crime that our Government have been engaged in removing our Sovereignty without our Consent. You can find the Document at www.we-the-people.co.uk.

Local Tory Leader Says Government Bridge Bill Too High

None of the parties involved - TfL, the Gov, Hammersmith Council and Richmond Council - wants to commit to a particular sum for a very good reason: the cost of repairs has only been estimated, not measured. The estimate is based on work commissioned and paid by H&F:(1) a very precise engineering model of the bridge and (2) samples of areas with cracked cast iron. We will only know the full extent of the cracking and repairs needed when the parts are fully exposed. But by then the payer is "on the hook to pay".What we really need is a "sugar daddy" with deep pockets!Hammersmith Council is right to point to the Government's record of paying for national infrastructure: "... between 77 and 94 per cent of bridge upgrades in areas such as Northumberland, Cleveland, Warwickshire, Staffordshire and Dudley this year."  I wonder which party is in power in those County Councils?!

Watchdog Raises Concerns About TfL's Plan To Go Cashless

I would add my voice in agreement. There are unseen dangers to removing cash from general use. Positive Money and many other groups concerned with economics in a wider sense want to retain the general availability to pay small sums using cash.  SAVE OUR CASH PAYMENTS!

War of Words Over Hammersmith Bridge Intensifies

It is only technically true that Hammersmith Council is the owner of the Bridge. Hammersmith became involuntary owners of the Bridge in 1985, when the government abolished the GLC (Greater London Council). There is no record of a condition audit taking place at the time, and no maintenance arrangement accompanied the gift, which was perhaps a mistake.  These problems are common to all London bridges: something new is "sexy". Maintenance is not.

Covid Admissions at Local Hospitals No Longer Rising

Napier Aero Engines, Heron Trading Estate, Acton.

If you Google Napier Aero Engines Roll of Honour, you will find an A-Z of former employees of the company. Do you have a relative living or now deceased that worked for Napier? Does anyone know if a company based next door to Napier's by the name of Shaw and Kilburn (engineers and coachbuilders) also have a Roll of Honour of former employees? There is no such list on the Internet. I can be contacted via this forum or at n.milkin@sky.com

'Monster Mast' Proposed for North End Road

This application at Hammersmith Council's Wandon Estate was published starting on 30th July. The consultation on an application for a different G5 mast on the Fulham Palace Road ended recently.Both of these applications are on small patches of underutilised, "derelict" land at a bend on a major road. Both pieces of land are owned by Hammersmith Council. The operator wants easy access at ground level for installation of supporting electrical equipment, so-called "cabinets".See this good explanation by Vodaphone: https://newscentre.vodafone.co.uk/features/mobile-phone-masts-everything-you-need-to-know/I would prefer the masts to be sited at the top of buildings, with supporting electrical equipment either in the building or buried. But that would cost the operator more.The "cabinets" are as unsightly as the masts and together they occupy land which should be public realm and well-maintained. They should not be an eyesore for pedestrians and residents.The derelict land on which masts and cabinets are sited will attract fly-tipping and drug-dealers, i.e. illegal activities unless they are well fenced off and the grass is cut regularly. I would want to see the terms of the operator's contract with Hammersmith Council.

Small rise in Covid-19 infection in H&F

Dr Nim Pathy gives a welcome simple explanation of why Covid-19 infections are much more widespread than the official figures for positive tests suggest. In addition:"In April, the British Medical Journal published a study which suggested 78 per cent of COVID-19 carriers do not experience symptoms, although studies have varied."This implies that 22% have experienced symptoms, perhaps serious enough to get tested. Assuming that this is the case, and looking at the current number of infections in England and Wales which is 300,000 (https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/#category=utlas&map=rate) this means that at least 1.36 million people in England and Wales have been infected at some time, out of a population of approx 57 millions.

Defiance of government credited with low care home death rate in H&F

"On April 2, the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) issued guidance stating that “negative tests were ‘not required prior to transfers/admissions into the care home’, as at this time the national policy was for testing capacity to be limited to symptomatic patients.”This borders on criminal negligence by DHSC. They must have known what they were saying.It is only common sense that old people discharged from hospitals needed to be tested before "seeding" care homes. It is only common sense that the carers in these homes had to be tested to prevent spread from one care home to another. Well done Hammersmith and Fulham Council!  The Council should be awarded a "Humanane Society" medal, or something similar for not rolling over and allowing themselves to be crushed by DHSC and NHS "edicts". Thank you!

NHS Urgent Care Walk-in Centres to Remain Closed

Owen Sheppard and the editor are right to draw attention to the stasis (no change) at Charing Cross Hospital Urgent Care Centre, Hammersmith Hospital UCC and Parsons Green UCC. The budgets for these UCCs have been taken over by London Region NHS and redirected "temporarily" to Covid-19. But Covid-19 is now dying out. We are witnessing yet more unannounced closures and centralisation of power. On 29th April, near the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic, Sir David Sloman, Director of NHS London Region, wrote to the heads of all London's Integrated Care Systems (as yet not legally recognised as NHS bodies) demanding their plans to permanently adopt many of the changes which they had temporarily made to meet the Covid-19 challenge. That is the way that the NHS and Govs force through change: they "seize the moment".

GOOD NEWS.

Although we are going through a worldwide crisis, possibly never known so bad in human history, things are going to get better. The Bible promises: "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away." ( Revelation 21 v 4.) At present the whole world is going through a period known as the "last days" of a system that is about to be put right.2 Timothy 3:1-5 New International Version (NIV) says:(1)"But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. (2) People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, (3) without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, (4) treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— (5) having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people."Is that a huge coincindence or is that an apt description of how many people in the world are today?Luke 21:10-11 New International Version (NIV) states:10 Then he (Jesus) said to them: “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. 11 There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events........"What is happening worldwide surely qualifies as seeing fulfillment today.This is the storm before the calm.“ALL creation keeps on groaning together and being in pain together until now.” So said the apostle Paul. (Romans 8:22) Despite advances in medical science, sickness and death continue to plague the human race. How wonderful, then, the promise that climaxes this part of Isaiah’s prophecy! Imagine the time when “no resident will say: ‘I am sick.’” (Isaiah 33:24)

Reprieve for Parsons Green Walk-In Centre

The Walk-in Centre will only be guaranteed until 31st March 2020. Hammersmith CCG has issued the following (wordy) statement:"At this time the advice we have been given from NHS England is that the current configuration of services will remain as they are until the end of March 2020.  This provides the CCG with the opportunity to undertake some further work on how current walk-in services can be re-provided in other settings.  The majority of Hammersmith and Fulham residents who use the service tend to be local to the Parsons Green Walk0In Centre and are mainly attending for services that in other parts of the Borough are provided within primary care.  Early in the new year we will need to undertake further work on this with a view to then engaging with local people on how we proceed from 1 April 2020." In other words they have no idea what will happen on 1st April, but hope to get new money between 1st January and 31st March to be able to keep it open. No promises!

Unsolved Hammersmith Nudes' Murders.

Back to square one and up against another brick wall. The 2019 B.B.C. documentary, Dark Son - The Hunt For a Serial Killer was viewed by the London Metropolitan Police 13 months ago. After 13 months the Met. have now contacted me to say that the content of the documentary was "purely speculative and without any evidential basis." In 1921 Harold Jones bragged how he had beaten Scotland Yard after he was acquitted of the murder of 8 year-old Freda Burnell in Abertillery. I am convinced he beat them again after murdering 8 women in the Hammersmith district of London between 1959 and 1965. Jones had lived incognito in Fulham, Putney and Hammersmith using a variety of aliases.

"Greg Hands Odds On Favourite to Win in Chelsea and Fulham" 

Possibly a bit biased? The odds are certainly not based on the latest feedback on the doorstep and at local Tube stations.With an electorate which voted 70% Remain in the EU referendum, many confused previously Conservative voters will vote for Nicola Horlick and the Lib Dems. who are their natural home... if they can forget their tribal allegiance to the so-called "Conservatives" - Greg Hands has changed from being a Remainer to supporting Boris Johnson because he wants to keep his Cabinet post.

Ground Penetrating Radar Scan.

I am a True Crime Writer and Television Investigative Consultant. I have for the past 14 years been researching the horrendous crimes committed by Abertillery-born Harold Jones. In 1921, Jones then aged 15 murdered 2 Abertillery, Wales schoolgirls, Freda Burnell aged 8 and 11 year-old Florence Little. After being released from prison in 1941 Jones served 5 years in the army before settling in Fulham, Putney and finally Hammersmith where he died in 1971. Jones used a number of names during his time in London - first Harold Jones, then Harry Stevens and finally Harry Jones. Research has led myself and many criminal experts to believe that Jones went on to become the serial killer known as the Hammersmith Nudes' Killer (1959-1965.) https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/488557/is-this-man-the-real-jack-the-stripper/These 8 unsolved killings have over the past 11 years been given much media attention. In 2011 a one hour drama documentary titled Fred Dinenage Murder Casebook - Harold Jones -The Welsh Killer has been shown repeatedly on various satellite Channels worldwide. (Google Harold Jones -The Welsh Killer.) This led to a major 90 minute national television documentary which was shown in January and February 2019. (Google Dark Son - The Hunt For A Serial Killer to see trailers.) In the early 1960's Jones using the name Harry Stevens  had lived in Fulham, 2 streets away from 3rd nudes's victim Hannah Tailford. In 1964 and 1965 whilst living in Putney under the name Harry Stevens, he was AT THE SAME TIME occupying a rented house in Hammersmith using the name Harry Jones. This was 2 streets away from 7th nudes victim Frances Brown and 8th nudes' victim Bridget O'Hara. It is my belief that there may be trophies buried in the garden at Hammersmith and the owner has now given me permission to use ground-penetrating radar to detect any such evidence.I am trying to locate someone in the film or media industry or anyone else who would be willing to cover the cost of the scan and record the garden being scanned. (Approximately 70 square metres.)On top of the circumstantial evidence regarding Jones living just 2 streets away from 3 of the murder victims below are a few more startling links.(1) Jones' own daughter has indicated that her father would leave her and her mother at home at the times of the killings and book into Rowton House, a doss house in Hammersmith whenever her parents would have a row. The daughter stated that she now believes her father would do this in fear that he may kill his wife in temper. Jones' own son-in-law stated that "There's no smoke without fire is there?"(2) Bridget O'Hara, the 8th victim was last seen leaving a pub near Rowton House on 11 January 1975 - Jones' birthday.(3) The person believed to be the killer had in 1964 shown one woman (a prostitute) a Metropolitan Police warrant card after she had got into his car. She stated that she felt very uncomfortable and made an excuse to get out of the vehicle. The driver gave her some cash before she got out. I believe the person was Harold Jones who was using the warrant card that had belonged to John Widdows, Jones father-in-law who had died just 2-3 years earlier. Widdows was a former London Metropolitan Police officer. Jones daughter stated that she still possessed her grandfather's retirement clock and Widdows may have possibly kept his warrant card when he retired.(4) At least 4 of the 8 murder victims were stored in a disused electricity sub-station on the Heron Trading Estate in East Acton. This was about 4 miles from Jones' rented property in Hammersmith. Jones daughter claims that her father worked in ACTON at the time of the murders but couldn't or wouldn't reveal which business premises he had worked at.(5) Jones left prison in 1941 after refusing treatment or discussing his crimes with the relevant authorities. The prison authorities noted that Jones, right to the day he was released showed no remorse for his crimes in Wales. Just shortly before his release the prison governor stated: "Sad as it seems, I can see no hopeful prospects for Jones in the future." The prison chaplain described Jones as "a no hoper." And then Jones was released onto an unsuspecting public possibly in the hope he would get killed in Libya where he served 5 years in the army.I am in contact with relatives of 6 of the 8 murder victims and they all (especially adult children of these women) are keen to know the identity of the killer in their lifetime. I am now 67 years old and I would like to know for sure the killer's identify in my lifetime.If anyone would like to come on board with this matter or have any practical suggestions I can be contacted at n.milkin@sky.com or 07989555376.
