Your mental health is affected by your environment, and how you do things affects your life. If you can focus on small things, it will have a big impact. I think you're being facetious, but people do live like that. I also operate an organised chaos strategy, as I'm sure many people do, which is essential with family and busy lives

I disagree with the who concept of tidying one room at a time. I find it's more effective to increase the overall level of tidy by 10% regularly, and take regular breaks. Always straighten your bed first - your bed is your priority and your haven. Change the sheets if you have clean ones to use. 1. pick up all rubbish around the house; take it out. 2. pick up all crockery etc that needs a wash: put it all in one place and start to sort it out. Wash and dry whatever you can put away easily. Wash things by type - I'll do cups then plates, then cutlery, then pots..... 3. Kitchen surfaces - tidy things you can, be ruthless - everything is going to need a home. Sweep the floor, wipe the surfaces. 4. Pick up all laundry around the house. Start to sort it out so you are in control of it - wash types together - eg all sheets. 4. bathroom - so on..... Then, the entire house is an better environment. and you can just keep going.

Why is it left to a friend of the victim to seek information?

Same can be said for the current and prior governments

well they'd best pull their socks up as Reform are hot on their heels - and getting caught with their pants down is ridiculously stupid. The electorate do not take kindly to thieving and greedy politicians.

Interesting you mention that - I only have the 'posh' pigeon visitor now - the scruffy ones aren't around in my garden either. I haven't seen the crows for a while either. Or the parakeets.

The news was circulated on our local social media group - I don't know what is on standard media

No, it was a man physically attacked in the woods in Peckham Rye park around 9pm one evening in the summer.

Given the recent and numerous reportings of violence and intimidation, this was preventable and it just beggars the question of what actually gets the police up and doing something.

You can buy protein powder for 11+ teenagers. Health food shop should have advised that. Advice should be correct, regardless of whether the person has taken a product before. I would also raise it with the store manager as it suggests either lack of knowledge or lack of care - probably not Head Office though.

Kew does fabulous Christmas garden light displays. Ice skating at Somerset House and you have to take her to Hamleys

You could look through similar posts, this question gets asked a lot.

Absolutely agree with you. its a very sorry state of affairs

You can seek better understanding by following interviews with people; you may find people are quite unaffected by being labelled right wing/ racist. you may also find that the local council is also anti the hotel use, it’s not just individuals

very likely - when it's a larger chain of charity shops, they move stock around locations if they can't sell it. I don't know what independents do when they have things they just can't shift - clothes I would imagine are sold in bulk and I'd also imagine a fair amount is binned - they don't get to choose what is donated to them.

perhaps your view that everyone is demonstrating against something is skewing your perception.

There are many sensitive and emotive issues. The backlog should be cleared, the temporary accomodation matter (location and cost) reduced and asylum seekers given decisions, which should clear things up.

The issue, with children starting school again, is that there is an unknown risk, and people want to know their children are safe, which they do not. You know all of this, I don’t need to attempt to outline the views for you as it’s widely available. There is outrage at how some people are behaving. Did you not see women attacking a man being interviewed? As with all things, the actions of a few is damaging.

All to do with the issues in Essex, with a child allegedly assaulted by and asylum seeker residing in a local hotel, ensuing community outrage, particularly with asylum seekers given priority over the community. The whole thing is toxic.

The current issues around immigration are fuelled by the housing of asylum seekers who have appealed the decision that they are not eligible for asylum. Although quite sure you would know that as it’s all over the news. The process is long and drawn out and is also undergoing change, with new body set up to process the backlog and expedite decisions, and reduce the need to put people up in hotels. Speeding up the process is beneficial all round, as you can’t deny.

There have been recent changes to the law regarding immigration, for skilled workers, social care workers, dependents, English language requirements and further changes are underway. If these changes were not necessary to address problems, they wouldn't need to be done. As it is, protest does raise awareness of the issues - public interest in various matters is measured, and prioritised accordingly. Previously, it was public concern about energy prices, and cost of living - and at that time, immigration and the claims process were not on the 'list'. They are now.

It's regrettable that impact of the various topics of immigration have escalated to the level that people have to protest their unhappiness and that laws have to be rewritten, and yet people complain that those protesting are racist.

That’s a very unhealthy view. Particularly when the very top echelons admit that the immigration law is out of date and not relevant and is being amended as we speak.

You can read it to be that everyone who flies a flag is racist and anti all immigration if you want, but that isn’t the case and it’s a very extreme view. It’s very dangerous to go down that road and dismiss real issues because you don’t agree with them. The law around immigration is being amended, as it is widely known that the laws were set when immigration levels were lower, not the levels of today and the future.
