48 EWN 27 June - 3 July 2019 www.euroweeklynews.com OPINION & COMMENT YOUR PAPER - YOUR VOICE - YOUR OPINION Letters should be emailed to oursay@euroweeklynews.com or make your comments on our website: www.euroweeklynews.com What a cunning plan DEAR Editor, Every year, without fail the French go on strike, they have demonstrations and generally disrupt people’s plans, particularly during the all too brief tourist season. It is, it seems, more of a hobby for them rather than any number of legitimate industrial disputes. Air traffic controllers striking and fishing boats blockading the ports are two common protests and are two monotonously regular inconveniences. Then this year, we get the Gilets Jaunes, the series of protests against their government. Blockading Paris and the auto routes, disrupting travellers at whim. I read the newspapers and yet still do not understand what they are trying to achieve. Then, I had a thought - perhaps, just perhaps these strikers and blockaders are really employees of the Spanish Tourist Board, employed to get people to come to industrially, peaceful Spain. What a cunning plan. The French are really revolting. Viva la Revolution. Stan Reynolds Respect Spain DEAR Leapy Lee. Enjoyed your article last week very much (Issue 1772, June 20). I was told the same as you, you are an immigrant so why are you against them. I quote again the same as you, I came in the front door… Respect Spain and pay my own way. Like so many of us. Keep writing, enjoy your columns. Regards. Christine Not in the picture TO the editor I saw the reports and the great pictures from your 20-year celebration and firstly as a regular reader for these past seven years, can I wish you every success for the next 20. I was jealous to see the party, it did look like fun and I would have loved to be there, but, there was one thing missing, Where was Leapy Lee? I did not see a single photo of the man in any of the pictures and trust me, with the help of my wife’s magnifying glass - I looked. I even looked at your internet site, but could not see him, I cannot believe he was not there. He’s not camera shy, is he? Oh, and a second question, did you play his song ‘Little arrows’? I have to believe that you did, it would be a great homage to our own one hit wonder. M Parker DEAR Sirs, The debate between prospective leaders of the Conservative party brought to light several things. Firstly, if they were not happy with their stools, why didn’t they say so and threaten to walk. No cojones! If they were being continually interrupted by Ms Maitlis, why didn’t they say so and threaten to walk. No cojones! It seems that if a future prime minister is going to be elected with no cojones, what chance is there for them on the world HAVE YOUR SAY No cojones stage? Margaret Thatcher had more cojones than Justice at last! Poor lass has suffered so much for all this time. I hope she can now heal and try to put this nightmare behind her. Edwina T Benidorm landmark El Castell closes for the summer season I think it is nice that the owners have allowed the excavation. Although it means removing one spot temporarily, preserving the heritage is important. Erik R San Juan festival left beaches full of garbage Yes there should be bins, but that is no excuse, any of them!

COMMENTS FROM EWN ONLINE take your rubbish with you simple as that, don’t leave for someone else to clear your mess up, no respect. Irene G Stay safe as temperatures soar to ‘potentially dangerous’ levels across Spain If you see a dog in a car and windows closed, police say take photo then break the window. David M OUR VIEW Justice is done JUSTICE has been done. The La Manada ‘Wolf Pack’ gang has been convicted of rape. Finally, the 18-year-old victim of a horrific gang rape at the Pamplona bull running festival of San Fermin can move on with her life, three years after the event. Her quest for justice should never have come to this. While the police are faultless - they acted immediately in tracking down the perpetrators of the horrendous crime - the rest of the justice system is not. When the five men who took advantage of the young woman were cleared of rape and convicted instead on the lesser charge of sexual assault, there was understandable outrage in the country. No one could understand how the men - who not only assaulted the victim at least 10 times in the most depraved ways but also posted a video of the assault to a WhatsApp group called La Manada - were not guilty of rape. It came down to the interpretation of the law made by a lower court. It decided that according to the letter of the law for an assault to be considered rape then it has to be accompanied by either violence or the threat of violence - for example showing a knife. Ridiculously, the court seemed to imply that because a lone woman did not fight back against five grown men, then it was not rape. Fortunately, the Supreme Court decided otherwise. Let us hope this sets a precedent that other judges follow in future. Now we want to hear your views.

Giving advice is all well and good so long as you are sure of your facts. and you will strengthen both people and business contacts. After being busy last week, you may be inclined to take it easy. If it is the case that you really are low on energy, then use the telephone or email to full advantage to keep in touch. “I’m taking up Forest Therapy... just not the nasty ‘outdoors’ bit. PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Some disruption to your plans annoys you but there’s no point getting in a huff. Outside influences cannot be stopped but you are able to keep calm yourself. Rising to the bait will play into someone else’s hands. Although a situation must be dealt with, do it in your own time and in your own way. ARIES (March 21 - April 20) It seems that you are putting a lot of effort into whatever you do without getting as much out as you would like. However, as the week goes by, you will realise that it is only a temporary situation. Sometimes, it takes others a period of adjustment before they are ready to accept changes of a personal nature. TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) The brick wall that you start banging your head against this week is not an illusion. It is, indeed, true that others are not responding to you in an expected way. By Wednesday this wall will start to fall and people will be more receptive. GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Everything seems an effort at the beginning of this week but as energy levels pick up you will gain momentum. Tackle one thing at a time and realise that Rome was not, indeed, built in a day. As the weekend approaches you will begin to realise that you have been far more effective than you thought. CANCER (June 22 - July 23) You really do need to come to an understanding with friends over a social matter, although this may take a little effort this week. It is clear that there are those who are less helpful than others, but this could be because of a misunderstanding. LEO (July 24 - August 23) Be a social animal this week VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Someone well and truly treads on your toes this week and it really puts your teeth on edge. There are some bridges that may not be mended at the present time and are best left alone. Show your generous side but resist the urge to give in on an important issue because you are likely to regret it later. LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) What a lovely surprise to find that something you have always wanted is coming your way at last. Keep a firm hand with finances and take control if you want to organise things for the better. SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Be cautious this week with your money. You have been aware for some time now that a change in your finances is likely. You have this in common with many others in your situation. Seeking professional help can be free and can make a big difference. SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) A special chance to try something new should not be passed over. No one expects wonders from you, they are happy just to see you enjoying life. A recent change in your attitude to your future is already showing. Luck is just waiting for you to invite her in. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Your home life gives you the most satisfaction at the moment even though someone seems to be challenging you. Some things are best ignored until they go away of their own accord and that also often applies to people. There is a time for everything and choosing it will make a task that could be difficult that much easier. ‘Greetings cards featuring artwork by AudreyQ are available at P.C.
