Every so often, I go to an event where my overwhelming reaction is ‘I’m just not doing enough to help’. This was never more true than at last weekend’s Healing Beyond Covid in Guernsey, run jointly by Laura Anderson of the Channel Island Integrated Health Alliance and Dr Tess Lawrie of the World Council for Health. I only have the space to give highlights, which sadly will not do justice to the speakers or the organisers. The event began on the Saturday evening with a showing of Del Bigtree’s new film: An Inconvenient Study.

The French President said the debate over the cause of the enormous power outage, which plunged Spain into darkness in April leaving five dead and millions without power, was “a false one”. The disruption, which also impacted Portugal and southwestern France, left areas in total darkness for nearly a day, cutting internet and telephone connection, while hampering transport. School pupils and workers were sent home for the day but many others were stuck in lifts or stranded on trains in isolated rural areas. Madrid’s socialist Government did not provide an explanation in the immediate aftermath of the outage, instead calling for patience while it was investigated.
