Cases of Covid-19 in Ealing continue to rise while Ealing Council and Politians are in denail

As of 9 a.m. this morning Sunday March 8th there were five cases of Covid-19 in the London Borough of Ealing. In London there are now 51.In the last three days the London figure as gone from 22 to 48 to 51.I had occassion to run into one of our M.P.'s Dr Rupa Huq this morning being escorted around by a man who I think was Mik Sabiersmwo very rudely shut me down and was really most unpleasant. It appears Ealing is unwilling to do anything and will not spend any nmoney as there is "only £8.9 million" in the reserves that could be spent in the area of sanitising Ealing and the like. According to Mr Sabiers, it the "job of the local health authority"I wrote a letter to Dr Huq M.P. which follows, Dear Dr Huq, M.P.I am somewhat stunned by the attitude of the Councillor, Mik Sabiers, who was taking you around Ealing this morning. I have rarely encountered a less pleasant individual on the streets of Ealing. I hope I did not startle you too much when I imparted the information that you did not know about the five cases of Covid-19 confirmed in Ealing as of yesterday morning, or the that the number had risen to 38 from 28 the day before for the whole of London. I tried to ask why if New York had declared a state of emergency for 17 cases why London had as yet to do anything. Your colleagues intervention at this point was inappropriate and very rude. He was wrong to say that this was an issue for the Health Authority. I had more to say, and following on from your article in Ealing Today about combating loneliness by stopping and talking to people  I took to mean that you actually cared about talking to people. Your colleague sent you away and handled me in a most dismissive and contemptuous manner. When I pointed out to him that he had been rude in interrupting my conversation with you and sending you away, he said that it is I who had in fact been rude, and that you were out to meet people. I guess I am not important enough to qualify. I tried to take to him about Covid-19 preparedness and got a load of political b/s. As he became more and more obnoxious about communication anything in a conversation I pressed him on the point of sanitation of bus stops, benches, etc, and all he did was become more and more agitated. He gave funding as an issues, and I pointed that there were reserves that could be spent, he said that only £8.9 million was available as the rest was committed, I pointed out that that would be a good start. I told him that he was the most obnoxious and unpleasant politician that I had ever eoncountered, to which he said: "Good" before leaving.I would strongly suggest that you not associate yourself with him on the streets of Ealing as he is doing nothing to win votes for the Labour Party at either the Council or Central Government level,What a horrible man,Yours sincerely,Mark Raymond,Ealing
