Labour tax and spend

they have learnt nothing for being in the wilderness, Tax & spend so they claimed the Tories left a 20 Billion so they raised 40 billion killing off many small businesses and hospitality with the employer NI increase. So having spent out 40 billion they need to raise even more money, blame everyone else. When if ever are they going to take responsibility for their own actions? What about controlling spending? Welfare bill is outrageous there are no checks so I dread to think about the fraud going on using our taxes. I heard a statistics on Politics live that 1 in 4 new cars on the road is funded by the government including BMW and Mercedes is this right? Shocking. They have killed the housing market with all the rumours. People taking out their 25% tax free element on pensions again due to rumours and Labour pulling pensions into IHT. They have no clue how to handle the economy, it should be illegal for any government to meddle with tax respectively on items like pensions. Of course Labour are support working people and the only definition I can work out who are working people is those on benefits so much for going for economic growth they do it by spending our money! That does not work. Now they are blaming Brexit they seem to forget we had a referendum and it was the people’s choice. When will they ever take any responsibility? We have the highest energy bills in the world how’s on earth do they think business can compete? Rant over 😂

Yippee! More traffic cameras.

It would be nice if before more were installed Hounslow could make the ones they have work properly. We are currently fighting a tidal wave of PCNs wrongly issued for accessing Hartington Road, the cause of which seems to be that we changed vehicle. It was all properly registered for the "White List" and for a couple of weeks all was well, until suddenly the PCNs started. Of course there is nobody you can actually talk to and every ticket has to be laboriously appealed. Does anyone know how this can happen? It's as if suddenly  an out-of-date data list is being used. Any advice or wisdom to share?

Dog walking

Hello, I am looking to improve my fitness and happiness. I have lived with multiple dogs throughout my life, but cannot currently as my partner has a cat. I am wondering if anyone has a dog that I would regularly be able to walk? I would like to do this free; I can do on or off lead (if your dog had a recall). If not, does anyone know of any (walking distance) dog rescues that I could offer my time to? I’m on jack199518@gmail.com Thank you, Jack

Plastic Wet Wipes Ban

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/wet-wipe-island-thames-london-cleared-hammersmith-bridge-b2824711.htmlAfter the three weeks' of removal of 114 tonnes of rubbish from the Thames which was changing the course of the river and which included approximately five million wet wipes which should never have been flushed but should be binned in the first place it is good to see that this ban on wet wipes containing plastic is progressing through Parliament even though it appears that those wet wipes which don't contain plastic are still not suitable to be flushed as they block the drains (just as tissue that isn't toilet tissue does).The charity Thames 21 which organises events on the river Thames and its tributaries welcomes Fleur Anderson MP's bill as a step to stop this unnecessary blight and danger to the wildlife on the Thames.Thames 21's events are here:https://www.thames21.org.uk/events/

The BBC Panorama Scandal

The BBC faces its gravest breach of trust after a whistleblower exposed Panorama’s deliberate doctoring of a Trump speech to falsely portray him urging the Capitol riot. Trump had called for supporters to march “peacefully and patriotically,” but the BBC cut that out, spliced in phrases to make it look like a call for violence and aired the fake version days before the 2024 election.This was not journalism but intentional propaganda, and not the first time they have been caught deceiving the public.  Defund the BBC.

Why is the Chiswick House Conservatory being at risk a good thing?

You have to hand it to Hounslow Council, they let a building which they own deteriorate to such an extent that it is on the point of falling down and tell us this is good news because they now qualify for extra funding to put the neglect right.

Proposed Documentary.

Maybe a bit of good news. Documentary maker Marcel Theroux contacted me 2 weeks ago to discuss the unsolved murders of 8 women in the Hammersmith district of London between 1959 and 1965. We had a long chat today and Marcel is pitching an idea to a national broadcaster linking Abertillery born child killer Harold Jones to these unsolved murders. Marcel is a reputable broadcaster being the presenter of 'Heist: Robbing the Bank of England' which documented the 1990 Bank of England bond heist which saw a theft of £ 292 million. He also presented the 2023 documentary the "Bunny Girl Murders." Marcel is the brother of renowned documentary maker Louis Theroux.

Stolen Amazon delivery

My CCTV caught the lowlife who stole my Amazon delivery this afternoon. I suspect he watched the delivery driver unload as he then appeared on the pavement opposite watching the house. Then went out of site and a second later swooped and stuffed the packages in a Sainsbury's bag for life (probably stole that too). White male, 30-40, dressed in navy/black with a baseball cap on with a prominent H on it (probably stole that from somewhere too). Hope Amazon refund and am reporting to the police on 101 online. Nothing exciting in said parcels so he will be very disappointed. What an absolute loser.

Knitting wool donations requested for Twiddle Muffs for Dementia patient support

Hi all I am back again on the hunt for knitting wool for a knitting group who make 'twiddle muffs' for Dementia patients, they supply various hospitals. Absolutely none will be wasted. Please have a root around to see if you’ve anything to donate. Thank you to all who’ve been able to assist in the past (for my Mum and Mother in law who knitted for children’s items for charity) and to those who may be able to in the future - I look forward to hearing from you via my mobile 07984 802205 as the direct message no longer works from here/W4 forumxx For those who are not familiar with ‘twiddle muffs' they are knitted tubes often fashioned with ribbons, buttons, bells and zips, have been found to have a calming effect on people with dementia by keeping their hands busy and warding off anxiety. They are particularly useful in a hospital setting while people are in waiting rooms ahead of treatment.

labour

What a chaotic situation! Who would have imagined that, following the controversies with the Tories, Labour could actually perform even worse in just 17 months? It is genuinely astonishing that Number 10 is allegedly briefing against its own cabinet, or so the press would have us think, while simultaneously initiating a leadership contest... it is surreal. Labour is undeniably unprofessional, demonstrating a complete lack of balance in managing both the economy and the country, and none of its members exhibit any leadership qualities. The fearmongering from RR regarding the budget is alarming; Labour is exacerbating issues in every area tenfold... they are truly embarrassing! JFMF

More on the Digital ID

In penetration testing of the Government’s current ONE Login system:- systems were easily hacked and remained undetected- outsourced to contractors without security clearance in Romania “a country identified as one of the greatest cybercriminal threats in the world.”- used unsecured workstations- Oracle, the company that donated £ 275 million to Tony Blair's foundation, will partly manage the Digital ID system.This means if the digital ID goes ahead, a citizen’s entire database of medical records, tax details and personal information will be at risk of exposure to foreign states, ransomware hackers and criminals. It will, of course, do nothing to prevent illegal immigration.Still think the Digital ID is a good idea? Do not comply!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fufnzxyv2Pshttps://x.com/BGatesIsaPyscho/status/1980895069298372953

CPZ charging levels

Hi I was renewing my CPZ permit and I thought the charge a bit high so I checked the emissions table that is used to calculate charges. OK, so my emissions are also a bit high but within the ULEZ level 4 (petrol) requirements.Does anyone know the algorithm used to do this calculation?(fwiw, if I had off road parking it wouldn't matter how high my emissions are. Seems a bit strange that I have to pay to park off road - I would have thought that covered by Road Tax - but not in my driveway, if I had one. After all, the level of pollution doesn't drop if parking in a driveway).

Tell him.

Am I the only one who thinks that the BBC should tell The tangerine tosser - known as Donald Trump, where to shove his threats of a lawsuit against the BBC? As a lawyer pointed out this morning - the time for him to take action here has lapsed by two weeks, and to pursue this in the U.S. in Florida is a problem as the Panorama programme wasn't shown there anyway.Usually when someone demands money with threats attached if you don't cough up, it is regarded as blackmail. Trump is possibly one of the biggest liars breathing and has managed to beat the American press into submission and lined his pockets doing it. The man is a bully and shyster, yes, the BBC should apologise, but that's where all this should stop. The BBC is held to far higher standards than that of many other media outlets, and by and large do a fair and reasonable job we would be long sorry to lose it. Time to take a stand and put the orange one back in his box.

Aston Villa v Maccabi Tel Aviv- TNT Sports Ch tonight at 8pm

Tel Aviv supporters have been shamefully denied by the Football Assc and the Govt from coming to support their team.Thousands of police will be on duty outside the stadium to control Birmingham's strong Pakistani contingency.This all means those supporters inside the stadium will be predominantly English Villa supporters.It will be interesting when Tel Aviv take the field; will there be loud booing or polite applause? That moment will be a measure of how our country feels towards the Jewish nation.

Illegal e-bikes police enforcement

Have just caught up with the story on the main page about the recent enforcement exercise to take illegal e-bikes off the street. About time! These modified bikes, and the ones that are designed to go at speed and which should really be classed as motorbikes, are a menace to other cyclists, road users and pedestrians. And what a surprise (not) to find that the operation coincidentally snared drug dealers, illegal immigrants and violent offenders. It's well known that there is a similar level of criminality among drivers who drive untaxed and un-MOT'd cars.

Stolen property

A few weeks ago, my car was stolen from outside my house in Grove Park. Last week, some of the contents of my car were found by the side of the A272 near Haywards Heath, along with items I suspect were from at least one other stolen car. One of these items was a red cap with the words 'Cabin Crew British Airways'. The items that were not mine include costume jewellery and some wrist watches.The finder is sending me the items she discovered by the side of the road. If you know someone working as BA cabin crew, or someone who lives with someone who does, and has had a car containing costume jewellery and watches stolen in West London recently, drop me a line. I would love to return the stolen items to their rightful owner. If you contact me, I will need to ensure items are returned only to their rightful owners. Please describe what you lost.

Our first visit today and we're very impressed. Delicious pastries (including squishy cinnamon buns), savouries, breads and decent coffee too. The friendly team at Frankie's are going to be very busy, and for good reason.

No association, just a very happy customer (with a particular penchant for tasty bakery goods and friendly service).

Labour: Early report by slightly biased constituent

The latest hoohah over Rachel Reeve's letting out her property without a licence is a mistake made by many of us, but not many of us have held the office of Chancellor of the Exchequer, and been part of a team headed by Sir Keir, who prided himself pre election on the ethics and integrity of his party.She should have known better and Kemi Badenoch and the media have every right to badger her.A list of hiccups relating to Sir Keir's ever so righteous party-Louis Haigh: Resigned from being Transport minister having lied to police about having her phone stolen.Mike Amesbury: Resigned after consumming quite a few juices and drunkenly assaulting a constituent.Dan Norris: Suspended for alleged rape and child offences.Angela Rayner- Resigned over avoiding stamp duty.Rachel from A/C's: Lied on her CV (which would account for her budgets missing the mark). Also her Latest novel on Economics littered with plagiarism. Last but not least got herself in trouble with breaking the ministerial code over not obtaining a licence for letting out her London home.A sorry tale of a party failing on all counts.

Home of Modern Makers Festive Fayre, 1st Nov, Catholic Centre, 11-5

It’s never too early to promote a Festive Fayre (especially ours!)Home of Modern Makers was formed by 6 Designer friends when the independent gift shop in Ealing, where we all sold our work, closed suddenly in 2023.Sharing our wealth of experience and creativity we have, over the past 24 months, created a series of West London Pop Up Markets.Sadly when we visited Chiswick last December, Storm Darragh battered London that day and although our Traders all made it to the Catholic Centre, footfall was definitely down. But FEAR NOT, we are resilient and are returning to Chiswick on 1st November with our Festive Fayre. We will be bringing you a collection of unique gift ideas from 18 carefully curated Designers including Ceramics, Prints, Jewellery, Textiles, Handknitted Children’s Wear and Vintage Collectibles to name a few.Many of us have sold at Green Days (The Bedford Park Festival) and know, first hand, how wonderful Chiswick folk are in coming along and supporting local events.Your custom is always hugely valued and appreciated and we’d LOVE to see you on the day Chiswick Festive FayreSaturday 1st November, 11-5pmChiswick Catholic Centre2 Duke’s Avenue CHISWICK W4 2AEThank you and any bumps up would be greatly appreciated

You could not make it up

This man, who was not only mistakenly released from prison and not sent to a detention centre. But he is now showing up in a video on social media walking around Chelmsford city centre in his prison tracksuit and a clear plastic bag, talking to friends. He then boarded at 12.47 pm a train bound for London.   They may have caught him if they had swiftly notified the media of the mistake. But it was about 6.30pm the media were notified, and by that time, he was in London, found out and went on the run. Q: When did they notice the mistake Utter madness

Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal

For the first time for several years there will be poppy sellers at Turnham Green tube station this week for the start of the annual Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal. They have been organised by local resident Elisabeth Whittaker with a group of volunteers (myself included) after the RBL’s Chiswick branch fell into limbo in recent years. The Appeal starts this week on Thursday 23 October and there will be poppy sellers at the station every day until Remembrance Sunday 9 November 2025.If you have a couple of hours spare over the next 2 weeks to help raise funds for the Royal British legions activities in support of current and ex-servicemen and women by selling poppies at Turnham Green Station please contact Elisabeth Whittaker on 020 8995 9255 to offer your support.The Royal British Legion provides a wide range of services to support those who have served in the armed forces. Many veterans face challenges transitioning to civilian life, including employment difficulties, financial hardship, housing insecurity, and health issues. The cost-of-living crisis has intensified demand for the Legion’s services.In the past year alone, it has responded to thousands of urgent requests for financial assistance and awarded grants to more than 23,000 veterans and their families.

Shock News!!!

With all the terrible things going on in the world, they all pale into insignificance with the devastating news that Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly are leaving Strictly Come Dancing! Yes folks, they really are! How on earth are we all going to carry on without them? I'm so upset and distressed. I've taken a couple of Kalms to hopefully quell the anxiety this has caused me, but I'm probably going to have to take quite a few more to get me through the day. I might also need to take some Rescue Remedy to help me sleep tonight.It would be wonderful if other like-minded folks could meet up and comfort each other. If so, please reach out!

Car Parking illegal fines.

Is there anyone on this forum who could advise please.After receiving 2x£100 parking fines in Iceland car park Abertillery they were later scrapped because I proved I was parked legally.Last week I received another £100 fine for again parking legally. A photo they took again showed me going in and going out of the car park but not in the legal parking space. I will be seeing a solicitor to sue the parking company for harassment.In April and May  2025 my local newspaper the South Wales Argus published 4 stories regarding dozens of motorists being fined with the same happening to them as it did to me. We were threatened with enormous costs and bailiffs taking possessions from our property if the fines were not paid. After appealing my 2 fines the firm apologized and sent me a letter of apology. Dozens of motorists weren't so fortunate and paid the fines out of fear. Many more motorists are still now having these illegal fines for parking in 1 of 4 public car parking space which clearly state Public Parking Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council. Should I employ a solicitor to take action through the courts or through the small claims court. Below is a link to one of the 4 Argus stories. Please copy and paste.                                   https://www.southwalesargus.co.uk/news/25098515.abertillery-iceland-illegitimate-parking-fine-complaints/

Labour getting desperate?

Despite having more seats in the house than you can shake a stick at,now they want to snaffle the votes of 16 and 17 year olds.I don't think this is a good move and I think it's a cynical measure.They can't buy alcohol,get married,get a mortgage,join the armed forces without the consent of parents and have very little life experience in many cases.Still,the way Labour are going,the move may backfire on them,you never know.

Excellent Kitchen Fitter

I was badly stung by a cowboy builder bathroom fitter recently,  so was extremely wary when it came to replacing my kitchen.  I was struggling to find a decent kitchen fitter then searched this forum and found an old recommendation for Paul Howells (07769 119095) of Premier Installations Ltd (kitchen and media fitters).  I asked around and got glowing reports back, so engaged them.  Paul and his team were brilliant, very diligent and professional and did an exceptional job.  They went above and beyond expectation and addressed all my concerns (blocking mice holes was a big one!) and did so within the very reasonable quote.  They were also a pleasure to have around.  I can’t recommend them highly enough and have no connection other than being the recipiant of a fabulous, excellently fitted kitchen*!  *I was set to go with Wren kitchens when Paul suggested I try West London Kitchens [Keith Patterson: 020 8741 1981], which I did. I now have a gorgeous German kitchen of much better quality than the Wren one I was intending to get, and at not much more cost.  I love it.  Again, no connection other than being a very satisfied customer.

Amazing car garage and servicing

An unusual post for me but I’ve had no luck with garages in or around Chiswick for MOTs, services or issues - always have tried to rip me off, or service the car incorrectly with hugely inflated bills. I was recommended by a friend an amazing place in Ladbroke Grove called car care of Kensington and they are absolutely brilliant. Reliable, don’t rip you off and have all kinds of different services.

Turnham Green Station

Please think of Gaza

At this special time of year for Christians, I can scarcely believe the combination of indifference to the plight of Gaza and the parochialism and meanness of spirit shown on the forum in the past 24 hours. Whilst Gaza is destroyed and several hundreds of lives are lost, local preoccupations seem to be either petty hatred of cyclists and the local authority which is supposedly in thrall to them, or an obsession with 'woke' culture. We are complicit in the 'genocide', as we remain silent whilst Biden and Sunak sit on their hands and do nothing to stop the slaughter. I say 'genocide' because, although there is no doubt that the Israeli actions in Gaza constitute the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular national, ethnic, racial or religious group, there may be some doubt as to whether the intention is to destroy that group, in whole or in part, or whether it is to kill sufficient members of that group to force them to disown Hamas. But either way the effect is tantamount to genocide.Does no-one care?

No District Line trains tonight

Apparently no trains from/to Richmond, Ealing Broadway and Upminster since 18:05, according to the handwritten sign on the board. The control room at Turnham Green is in darkness with nobody there and the only staff member was behind the barriers, on her phone and she walked away when I approached. Journey abandoned! Completely useless!

Large Tree to be destroyed near Post Office

I happened to read the Planning Application posted at the building site (formerly Independiente Studios) to the right of the post office.  It has allowed for the destruction of tbe very large, seemingly healthy tree at the front of the building.I emailed Hounslow Planning Dept to enquire why a TPO was not placed on this tree.  The reply was that the applicant had obtained their own arboricultural assessment which stated the "tree was in decline".  If you see this tree, it certainly doesn't appear to be in decline.If you feel the same way about protecting this tree, please contact Hounslow Planning and quote PA 2025/1070 - The Drill Hall, 3 Heathfield Terrace, Chiswick W4 4JE as this matter needs to be reviewed further.

Thanks to Richard Jennings from John Todd

i thought this might get missed in the front page article and as i have always been impressed with how super helpful Richard seems to be thought i would re-post it here:-"Richard Jennings - A valued Community MemberCouncillors are advised that they cannot intervene in Penalty Charge Notices (PCN) matters as they are ‘quasi- judicial matters’Richard though can provide valuable guidance and advice on such matters without charge. His email address is ‘parking@rjen.uk’It's been a bumper year for Richard’s hobby of helping people fight unfair Penalty Charge Notices.  It all started in 2007 when he received a PCN for parking outside his house.  Hounslow claimed that he had violated the suspension that his neighbours had organised in connection with their move away from Chiswick, but he was actually helping the neighbours on that day. Hounslow rejected two appeals, so Richard did more research and submitted a 4-page appeal to the adjudicators. Hounslow took one look at it and decided not to contest it.  Case won - PCN cancelled!Richard started to use that experience to help others, and so far this year he has helped in a record 58 cases. He says he doesn't work miracles, but there are often obscure processes that can unlock difficult cases.  For example, if a PCN should have been posted to a driver but never arrived, the penalties can rapidly increase, but Richard can advise how to get a court in Northampton (Traffic Enforcement Centre) to wind back the excessive penalties and enable the PCN to be appealed. Users have advised me how thorough and helpful they found Richard.Sincere thanks Richard for this valued public service.Cllr John Todd"http://www.chiswickw4.com/default.asp?section=info&page=councillorsblog284.htm

Leaves

I live in a heavily treed part of Bedford Park, and for many years I’ve tried to be a considerate neighbour and responsible member of the community by sweeping the fallen leaves from the pavement outside my home. I’ve always disposed of them in my own garden waste bin — at my own cost. I also clear the pavement outside my property in winter after snowfall or when it's icy, to help keep it safe for pedestrians.Last year, I noticed that Hounslow Council didn’t start leaf-sweeping in my area until December. In the meantime, it was really upsetting to see how slippery and dangerous the pavements became — I know of several neighbours who were genuinely anxious about walking in the area. I reported the issue several times via StreetMap, but nothing changed.Recently, I read that some residents in the borough have started sweeping the leaves into the gutter instead of using their own garden bins, arguing that it's the council’s responsibility to remove them. I tried this myself last week, but was quickly challenged by two people (not my immediate neighbours). They said I was potentially obstructing drainage and could even face a fine, and that by sweeping the leaves, I was letting the council "off the hook" from doing their job.I tried to explain that, in my experience, the council hasn’t increased their efforts regardless of whether residents help or not. And I honestly thought a clear, safe pavement was better than slippery leaves — even if it means some water pooling in the road.Now I’m genuinely unsure what’s the right thing to do. I don’t want to create more problems or upset people, but I also don’t feel comfortable doing nothing when I can see the hazard to pedestrians. Is there any guidance or advice on how residents can handle this responsibly — both legally and in terms of community values?

Closure of Strand on the Green footbridge...

Does anyone know why the pedestrian bridge by Strand on the Green school has been closed? There is no sign on there to say why or for how long, and Hounslow website update says that it is not due to be to shut until 2026/27 for refurbishment.

Some powerful speeches today in Blackpool, even though I personally don't side with Labour's politics; but I strongly object to the loose way, David Lammy especially, describes the Reform party (and by definition its 250,000 members) as racist.Racism is a venomous description, and insulting to all to whom it doesn't apply.Sir Keir, in giving his speech to conference midday tomorrow, needs to be very careful how he chooses his words when fending off Nigel Farage's threat to his position.

Weed removal. See forum main front page

Please remove weeds outside your house if you don't want Ealing council spraying Glycosate chemicals around your vicinity. Ealing council have reintroduced spraying this dangerous weedkilleragain.This is what happens when people complain about the weeds and do not do anything proactive themselves. The council will take the easy way out when under pressure. Also grow to love  weeds they die down in summer and are very useful to wildlife.

Operation Choke-Chis continues unabated

With the High Road now semi-blocked nearly 24/7, our vital work to clamp down on freedom of movement in W4 continues! The District Line is on its knees, Burlington Lane is blocked for who knows how long, while the footbridge at Chiswick Station will be out of order until well into 2026, maybe even 2027. And as for the Mildmay Line, the frequent delays and cancellations are also encouraging. Plenty of other road works going on too, with admirably little visible work being done. Victory is within our grasp comrades!!

After more years than I dare admit with my current GP practice I am thinking of going elsewhere. After all the recent amalgamations and the opening of the new Health Centre in Fishers Lane does anyone  have any up to date experiences to draw on for recommendations - or indeed otherwise?

The suppressed report on LTNs

If even TfL's favourite academic can't come up with data that shows LTNs don't reduce car use, perhaps it is now time for everyone to admit what always seemed blindingly obvious from the start. This doesn't create the basis for scrapping all of them but it does mean that local authorities should be looking at where their schemes displace traffic to. There needs to be hard questions asked about whether or not some of these schemes have been manipulated to make nice roads nicer and roads were the less well off live, more polluted.
