Great News! England will have a World Cup song this year and a banger it is too. Written and recorded right here on the St.Matthews. It showcases local talent and  will inspire the national team to do their best. The St. Matthews England Supporters Club came together for this World Cup and recorded this song to inspire both the team and the fans. Our club is as diverse as our estate. We have a very disappointed Irishman, a Portuguese key-man (possible spy), a travelling Rasta, football mad youths, some African women, and all mixed in with the Leicester blood and very very relaxed membership policy. #LetsMakeItOfficial #officialWorldCupSongEngland #England #WorldCup2018 #ThreeLions Enjoy and share with complete abandon! Here is an iTunes link. http://itunes.apple.com/album/id1394698710?ls=1&app=itunes For those of you without Spotify or iTunes you can hear it here.

Anti-Semitism and Anti-Apartheid State are two different things.

Today a friend brought me an unsolicited copy of the Sunday Times. He showed me a big article in the middle of it which basically said that the protests and criticism of Israel over Gaza was part of a rise of anti Semitism in Europe. I felt the shiver of sinister forces trying to shape public opinion to the now standard criticism of anything vaguely hostile to the apartheid Israeli state as anti-Semitism. A view which is and has been pushed and promoted by the Israeli state for a while now. The 1% look like they are lining up criticism of the apartheid state as some kind of race crime. The constant portrayal by the Israelis of a narrative of being under attack by "terrorists" is wearing a bit thin. They are the ones who have imprisoned a whole population of 2 million people mostly children under 17. We know that Israeli drones could tell what sort of weapons the Hamas unit that attacked the kibbutz from the tunnel were carrying. This was the reason they gave for being

St Matthews green spaces being 'blitzed' out of existence by Sir Peter Soulsby and LCC

-
Today on Remembrance Day 11th November 2019, St. Matthews Estate is having almost every bush and small tree removed under a 'tidy-up blitz'. We are being subject to this 'blitz' over the next six weeks, and I dread to think how bad things will be by then.  St Matthews lies between 3 major roads and has a problem specifically identified in the LCC AQAP (Air Quality Action Plan) as having high levels of NO2 from this traffic.  This Mayor's initiative has been undertaken with no local consultation and has just been imposed on us by the same people who have been building illegal car parking (no existing planning permission for Kashmir Rd) on the estate. I wonder if there is some collusion between the contractors and the Mayors office. Spending £330,000 on 24 spaces seems to have been a way of funneling money to the Council Highways dept. (and it was only 1 of 3 car parks) Surely it cant cost over £10,000 per space to convert what was already a temporary car park in
