Still ill. My battle with Covid 19. Should schools be closed?

The poor side of life Help Charlotte!

Exposing the unfair treatment of jobseekers, the horrors of Universal Credit, unfair sanctions and heinous treatment of claimants at Ashton under Lyne Jobcentre.

Charlotte Hughes's avatarThe poor side of life

Dear readers I’m writing this blog post from my bed, I’m trying to put off the inevitable hospital visit that will have to happen if I get any worse.

I thought that I was getting better but sadly my daughter unknowingly has brought home a virus from school. The said virus is now having a good time rampaging through my body whilst making me feel dreadful.

I haven’t stopped coughing for two days now, my whole body hurts and I’m not capable of doing much. But I am trying to get better.

Covid 19 and other viruses are rife in my daughters school, children have tested positive and the school remains open.

There’s no way that any type of virus can be controlled in a school environment. It’s impossible, an endless task of trying to make the best out of a very bad situation.

I realise that all children need…

The house ‘Buenos Aires’ of Vallvidrera resists and forces the suspension of the second attempt of eviction

The occupied house Buenos Aires of Vallvidrera resists and forces the suspension of the second attempt of eviction

After checking the situation in the building, the Mossos riot police withdrew and the police device was removed from Mont d’Orsa street. The 250 people who resist in the house have returned to occupy the street along with dozens of supporters who have come to support. Finally, at half past nine in the morning, the confirmation of the police suspension of the eviction has arrived.

From the squatting group, which received the open notification of the courts last Monday, September 28, it is noted the willingness to “continue speculating” of the religious congregation that owns the property and criticize the “inoperability” of the City Council in its negotiation with the property

At three-thirty on Thursday morning it looked like the eviction from the Buenos Aires House was more real than ever. About twenty vans of the Mobile Brigade (BRIMO) of the Mossos d’Esquadra have been deployed in Mont d’Orsa Street, accompanied by an intendant, two inspectors and commanders of the police station of the Sarrià-Sant Gervasi district.

After approaching the entrance of the building, where there were about fifty people who joined the two hundred that were scattered throughout the house, the superiors of the Catalan police have not seen clearly and they have ordered the momentary withdrawal while in parallel people were also beginning to gather in Plaça de Vallvidrera.

Subsequently, in the face of this situation, the agents withdrew and completely removed the Vallvidrera police device. Activists have removed the barricades around the house and an assembly has been held pending official information on the status of the eviction attempt.

Anarco Feminists demand Abolition of Chilean Military Police .. En/Esp/Pt

from ANA / 2020 / outubro / 09 / Pela abolição dos carabineiros do Chile

By A.N.A. on October 9, 2020

For the abolition of Chilean Carabineiro Military Police and Gendarmerie.

As an Anarco Feminist Organ (OAF), we call outright to delegitimize the institution of Chilean ‘Carabineiro’ Military Police and gendarmerie completely, it is not enough just with the dismissal of some “employees”, the abuses of power perpetrated by this organism are not something isolated , or that can be individualized: torture, disappearance, murder, are systematic ways that they use to repress the entire people, without any distinction.

In turn, it is important to declare General Mario Rozas as one of the main responsible for innumerable deaths and tortures. When he is in charge and in charge, he is the one who obeys and gives orders against life, struggle and freedom: for lying without consequences, erasing evidence, quibbling the truth, and declaring that “he will not discharge any carabineer while social protest lasts ”.

chelememuu

Anyone who falls into the clutches of the Carabineiros, or who is unlucky enough to be sharing the street or space with these psychopaths in uniform, can die, lose their eyes or suffer severe brain or organic damage to the body, this is unacceptable , and they are very mistaken if they believe that we will fold our arms and keep silence.

Nothing as visually spectacular as this occurred in the UK, where the news has been unvaryingly depressing.

+ At the same time, contact-tracing descended to a new low– 5,722 fewer people were tested. Only two-thirds of those who tested positive had their details entered into the tracing system, and a mere 68.6% of the immediate contacts of positive cases were reached. In addition, waiting times have risen again for those awaiting test results.

The notorious ‘Novichok’ nerve agent described as Russia’s lethal weapon has been first presented to the world by Americans and has since been replicated by 20 of their allies, the Russian Foreign Ministry said.

The structure of a substance that has since been known to the world as ‘Novichok’ has been first unveiled by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology back in 1998 on the basis of the data provided by the Pentagon, the Russian Ministry said on Saturday, replying to yet another damning statement by the German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas.

Over the years, the formula was used by Americans and more than 20 other western nations to produce a cluster of as many as 140 variations of the toxin that can be attributed to the ‘Novichok’ group, the ministry said, adding that the whole lot of them are not covered by the Chemical Weapons Convention.  Also on rt.com Germany & France will ask EU allies to place fresh sanctions on Russia over alleged poisoning of opposition figure Navalny
