Unsolved West London Murders.

In March 2023, The commissioner of the Met Police Sir Mark Rowley admitted the force has 'racists, misogynists and homophobes' in its ranks – as Home Secretary Suella Braverman blasted 'serious failings of culture, leadership and standards' at Scotland Yard. On 6th April I sent a lengthy email to Mark Rowley pleading with him to review The Hammersmith Nudes' murders of the 1960's. I told him that I am in contact with adult children and other members of 6 of the murder victims.  I told him that many of the victims' family members are convinced that if the victims were police women, doctors, nurses or solicitors there would have been a review. On April 11 I recieved the following."Dear Mr Milkins,My apologies for the delayed response. I have forwarded this matter to the appropriate team for their review and direct reply to you.Kind regards,*****  ********      *********  | Inspector | Staff Officer to the Commissioner."Today I received a a phone call from New Scotland Yard followed by the following email.Dear Mr Milkins "It was good to speak to you on the phone just now, and as promised, I am emailing to confirm my details. I recognise the huge amount of dedication you have put into your investigations and I am sorry that these terrible murders remain unsolved, despite your efforts.There have been various reviews conducted regarding these cases over the years and I know you were in contact with DC Paul Rogers in 2007, and most recently, DC Adam Bailey in 2020. It remains the case as per DC Bailey’s letter that the links between Harold Jones and the victims are not substantive enough to enable a definitive finding that he was responsible for their deaths. I hope you understand that because Jones died in 1971 and there is no additional material further to what has been looked at in the above reviews, we won’t be reviewing the cases again at this time.Having said that, I know you are determined to continue with your work, and if there is something substantive and probative that you find that you would like to bring to our attention in the future, please do so.I wish you all the best."DC *****   ****** | CSC - Major InquiriesSpecial Casework TeamTHE MUST GO ON. AND IT WILL.

English towns selected for Microwaving

These won’t be the first, as the town of Wennington was hit last summer under the guise of a wildfire. This was on a small scale compared to the microwaving attacks that California has come under in recent years but significant nonetheless; it means that the UK is now a target and the equipment has been tested, along with public reaction. As with California, the Wennington fires mainly destroyed things that don’t burn easily, such as buildings of standard construction and vehicles, whilst vegetation and other materials that do burn easily such as wood, plastic, cloth etc. were largely left untouched.  To maximise the terror, the government has installed Emergency Alerts to every mobile phone in the country, and wildfires have been given as a reason for their introduction. These Emergency Alerts are due to be tested at 3pm on Sunday 23rd of this month. Similar to the Covid scam, the conspirators will want to be seen as carers and saviours, and the alerts provide this opportunity. The alerts also provide the opportunity to ‘justifiably’ terrorise many more people than those who will be directly affected. If, for example, Chiswick is selected for microwaving, texts can be sent to residents of neighbouring towns such as Ealing and Hammersmith, so they will also run out of their homes screaming, maybe in the middle of the night.  With all the scaremongering about climate change, the Wennington microwaving test last summer and now the introduction of Emergency Alerts, English towns are clearly set to go up in smoke this summer, and will already have been selected.When the ‘wildfires’ come, we will inspect the evidence together.

23 Sutton Court Road - Selling at 100% profit!

Would you like to make over 100% return on your property in under a year?? That's exactly what the new owner of 23 Sutton Court Road - now Baycroft would like to do.Local residents may recall the planning decision that enabled One Housing Group to demolish a beautiful Victorian Villa to make way for MUCH NEEDED' over 55s housing - after lengthy abandonment of the site, significant delays and a low quality development, One Housing Group bailed on the completed project and sold it in July 2022 for £3.8 million.The new owner bought the property for £3.8 million in July 2022 and has allowed it to sit idle for almost a year - with some guardians in place. They have done nothing at all to the property and are now attempting to sell the individual flats for over 100% profit in less than a year by simply applying to have the over 55 restriction removed (already refused in 2020). You can only imagine that their business plan is predicated on the assumption that our local planners are stupid; that they can't see through a pretty transparent plan and that they will be too intimated to uphold a legitimate planning restriction for fear of being seen to stand in the way of an indicated new mental health provision on the same site. On this, its worth remembering previous planners have also said that the developers do not understand the inadequacy of the site for anyone working through any sort of recovery - the amenity space is poor, the property is on possibly one of the busiest corners in Chiswick - we have all sat on Sutton Court Road and Barrowgate Road during morning, noon and evening rush hour and road rage.  The developer can hardly convince us all that they are concerned with providing a quality facility for proposed mental health patients - more likely that they are seeking to cash in on a vulnerable group. And at what price? a similar double asking price potentially charged to the NHS when we are paying doctors less than £14 per hour? they are a pure for-profit entity - will we be fleeced by them as tax payers as well as having them trash our planning process?Please consider objecting - send these opportunistic profiteering developers packing - enforce the over 55's restriction and ask them to price them appropriately for the over 55s market - give our local over 55s community the opportunity to downsize, free up much needed family homes, give our essential workers over 55 an option to buy OR tell the developer to rent or lease to over 55s if they want a return on investment. They bought knowing the restriction was there - let them deal with it.We would have to ask serious questions if previous planning decisions were not defended. Objections need to be lodged by 20th April 2023 and can be registered by emailing directly to:planning.objections@hounslow.gov.uk using the System ref: P/2023/084923 Sutton Court RoadPS - These opinions are my own, and everyone is entitled to theirs!

Eats, shoots and leaves

I am not a grammar fascist. I don't care about peoples spelling so much as their vocabulary.That may be because I was taught to read before I was taught to write. I know the sting of my fathers tongue on the pitiful scrawl of my hand writing and punctuation. You see my mum taught me to read from the minute I started talking. She was however not confident in teaching me to write as she had Osteoporosis and Rheumatoid Arthritis especially in her hands and did not want me to start St Joseph's Catholic Junior School in Kingston Upon Thames, Surrey with something the Penguins would hold against me. Teaching Nuns in the 1960's were neither forgiving nor inspiring upon finding something they considered a deficit in a child, and scrawl like drunk spiders dipped in ink would be the target on your back (workbook) so to speak.  I spent a mixed emotional time at St J's and by the age of 7 we moved from KUTS to Hounslow.  Bedfont to be more accurate.  My cousins lived all around and I as an only child had a ready made gang of fiercly loyal little cousins to play with.  I was supposed to go to the Catholic School in Feltham but they seemed reticent to take me mid term.  So my parents decided it was not necessary for me to go to Catholic School. It's distance from us and no direct transport would have made it hard for my mother and that was a considerable factor too.  I was enrolled in Bedfont Juniour School.  The happiest 4 years of education until University there ensued. My first teacher Mr Bhatti taught me for 6 weeks and then spoke to the head Mr McCloud.  They got mum and dad in and asked if they could test me.  My mortified parents asked why.  Apparently Mr Sullivan the head at St J's had sent my final report over and it did not quite match their understanding of my abilities.  So they wanted to make sure I was in the correct place for me to learn happily and well.My parents said yes after being told it would not be anything more than a nice lady reading with me and playing puzzle games.  Then talking to me about the things I liked.  My mother told me many years later (I was 39 at the time) that my father had laughed all the way home and kept saying they did not know what they were letting themselves in for.The day of the test I was told by my teacher Mr Bhattin I would be reading and chatting with a lady who was coming to see me because I started mid term and they did not know what I liked to do or read or draw.  I was delighted.  One to one with an adult not my parents was always welcome it meant I could tell stories, I loved to tell stories.  My mother called it lying but my granny her mother called it entertainment.I had a ball a lovley middle class woman in tweeds sat with me in the quiet space near the open library and had me read everything from Janet and John books to reference, magazines and newspapers.  It was the first time I read a broad sheet.  She laughed at my jokes clapped my stories and told me she had had a jolly lovely time.  I adopted "jolly" as a go to word I still use now.  Sometimes sarcastically as in "oh jolly dee" after being told I was to be responsible for rubbish being taken out at home. Or my regular "Jolly Good" on being told by my carer they will be back at 5pm for tea.That was a Friday so I was quizzed by the parents for 48 hours before they got to meet the nice tweed lady.  They went into Mr McCleod's office shutting me outside and talked for what seemed forever then they called me in.  I was asked had I enjoyed yesterday?  "Oh yes very much" I replied.  I was told I had done very well and would be going into another class to see how I liked it.  I asked can I still play with my friends from Mr Bhatti's class? I was told yes so I said OK.In my late 20's my mother and father told me what happened. St J's had taken a long time sending my report.  This was unusual so BJS decided to put me in the easiest class of three in that year just to see how I got on.  Mr Bhatti had sussed out right away their was something unexpected.  They asked for the report again but again it did not come.  Mr Bhatti had then been told to keep a watching brief on me and note any discrepancies with my peers.He noticed I stared out the window a lot and looked like I had not even opened the book we were reading.  He noted I was good at maths knew my times table well and seemed to find it interesting.  I paid attention when he was speaking and put my hand up if I knew the answer.  The most interesting thing he notes was whilst they were doing basic form printed letters handwriting I was using some kind of cursive script.They finally got my report and upon reading it realised they had to test me.  Good old St J's had said I was "educationally Subnormal"  I was unable to follow simple instructions, stared out the window all day, could not read or would not read and I was so disruptive as to be  a utter distraction in a lesson holding my peers back.Tweedy woman had gotten very angry and told my parents she would support them if they sued.  My mum was really upset and my dad was, in his own words almost as angry as when Hitler invaded Poland.  They were told at age 7 I had a reading age of 14 or higher, I matriculated well for my age and enthusiastically I had one of the largest vocabularies she had come across for a 7 year old in her career and I had a real drive and passion for learning.And this is the reason after spending 5 of my 7 years singing about writing about and pursuing doggies that I got one.  So why am I writing this today.  You may have not got this far, my ego is not vast enough to believe I am a brilliant write so I will tell you.  I am not a spelling,grammar or punctuation fascist.  But todays edition is a painfully badly writter read.  Its like the editor or Grammerly was not engaged. There are extra words along with pointless punctuation and an over all feeling from those writing that they would rather be doing something in publishing.  We your readers deserve better and you as writers should want to be the best even if it's a shopping list or the ingredients for Yorkshire Pudding.That's it nuff said as they say. Who are they who say nuff said does anyone know?
