Sajid Javid, former health secretary, has stated that “people need to be charged £20 for a GP appointment and £66!! to attend A & E” It’s obvious what plans the Tories have for the NHS It’s coming and this shower in government are gradually making it happen. -

Something untoward in Romford this afternoon. Substantial police presence in South Street around 2 pm. I don’t know what it was. 🤷🏻♀️

The floating restaurant at Lakeside is sinking
Not exactly Romford news but as many Romford folk use it, why not.
There’s some pics on the BBC news website of the Miller and Carter sinking. Having used it on numerous occasions it made me feel quite sad. I hope it’s back up and running very soon as the food was always delicious and reasonable prices as well. -

Romford has been named the nation's hotspot for stolen vehicles with 19.87 thefts per 1,000. This doesn't surprise me as I have 3 friends who have had their cars stolen in the past year.

Big party tonight. The bouncy castle firm are here erecting one for the children (probably adults too once the alcohol has been flowing for a good while 🤣). Many helpers here ready to get the buffet prepared. It’s going to be a great night. Apologies in advance for what’s going to be a bit of a noisy night.

Hooray, another female Conservative Prime Minister.
Go Liz!! Let’s hope Liz does as good a job as Maggie and Theresa. Two powerful women respected by World Leaders. Onwards and upwards now. Boris did an amazing job getting us through Brexit and Covid and I am sure Liz will get us through the fuel crisis caused by the war in Ukraine and the Russians cutting the gas supplies. Let’s campaign hard now until the election in 2024 to prevent the disaster for the UK if Labour got in and ground this country down.

Kem Cetinay (Edited)
Who won some obscure TV show in 2017 has been involved in a fatal collision where a motorcyclist was killed. Cetinay opened a gastro pub on Shepherds Hill called Array. I’ve been there a few times with my partner.

Did anyone watch the brilliant match last night where the English lionesses beat Sweden 4-0 in the Euros semi final? What a brilliant skilled game.
The added bonus? None of the histrionics you see in the mens game whereby they roll around on the floor as if they’re dying in agony and if they break a manicured nail? 🤣

There’s a real risk it could become endemic if the outbreak is mismanaged.

It’s more than possible now that the proposed sell off by Nadine Dorries won’t go ahead. When questioned at a select committee, she stated, wrongly, that 96% of people polled wanted it privatised. A blatant lie. Absolute rubbish. It was the other way round. 96% were against privatisation. She’s also gone on record as stating the upkeep of the channel shouldn’t come from the public purse. An absolute blatant lie (or she just didn’t know more likely) as Channel 4 has always been self financing. There has never been any input from the public purse.

Destined for the House of Lords? One of Johnson’s idiotic moves before disappearing into oblivion? People must question this surely.

It’s obvious to me that we have a reincarnation of a person that was suspended from Scooploop and is now back. You’d think they wouldn’t make it so obvious wouldn’t you.

New Romford politics-free loop up and running (Edited)
All friendly polite members are welcome.

That’s it, can anyone tell me how I stop getting Scooploop notifications. It is too depressing, political, miserable and not helpful. All the people that used to post on here with helpful information support, good news and recommendations etc have left. Except for Boots. Incidentally I muted Alan F a very long time ago after he unfairly insulted me.
So Sylvia you can continue to post your one sided rants, I for one do not have to read them.This discussion is now closed.

Is on it’s knees, something that affects us all. Johnson has lied once too often. His cabinet, MPs and private secretaries have jumped a sinking ship. They say their position was untenable, but it’s taken so long for them to acknowledge that. The fact of it is, they’re aware of public feeling about the lying and the sleaze. I could state “I told you so” but I won’t. 🤣
-
Is still out there. I tested positive yesterday as did my guest. Husband and guest’s children appear to be well at the moment. I feel absolutely terrible and drained. My head is pounding.

Memory Lane - 26 bus from Romford to Canvey Island
To help return the loop to its intended purpose, I thought I would post our adventure on a 26 bus. Hopefully this will prompt some stories from other members.
When we got married, we moved to Canvey Island in Essex, because it was the only place that we could afford to buy a property. We did not have a car, so used public transport to visit our family. I can't remember if we did it more than once, but on one occasion we got the 26 bus (Eastern National Omnibus Company Limited) whose route was Romford - Laindon - Basildon - South Benfleet - Canvey Island. On our trip back to Canvey, the conductor told us that he was going to bypass Basildon. He told us to hide down below the window, and that he was turning all the lights off! This was in the late 60s I've attached a photo of the buses from that time. -
Think of this absolutely crass statement today by Tory MP Danny Kruger. He thinks you shouldn’t have autonomy over your own body!! Where do they find these morons.
