Joe,

Three!!!

Goodness me. He is going to be busy. I'm expecting one within 12 months, but 3. That's more pessimistic than myself.

He'll be pensioned off into the dementia home 18-24 months in, sooner if he hasn't started that first war.

Three, then he will die of old age.

Winner?Voting with their feet. Or lack of them.... .... 3:30pmWashington DC 'eerily quiet'Rozina Sabur is out on the eerily quiet streets of Washington DC ahead of the inauguration this morning. She writes:Makeshift security checkpoints have been erected all around the city centre. Concrete blocks and National Guard troops block the public's access to most of the city's landmarks.This is an Inauguration Day like no other. Where usually hundreds of thousands of people would be crowding the streets in celebration, today there is an eerie silence in the air.This is of course partly due to the coronavirus pandemic - the public to stay away over safety concerns - but the austere atmosphere comes largely from the heavily militarised atmosphere in the city centre.Some 25,000 National Guard troops have been activated in the Washington area after the January 6 attack on the Capitol, with the FBI warning of the potential for further violent protests today. Large parts of the city, including around the White House and the Capitol building, have been blocked off to the public.The Telegraph's Washington bureau, like much of the downtown area, can only be accessed by passing through a secret service checkpoint. It appears the warnings to the American public to avoid the area have been heeded.Walking around the chilly city this morning, The Telegraph could only spot one member of the public who had come out to mark the inauguration.The man, who did not want to give his name, arrived draped in a Confederate flag and attempted to walk towards the White House, before turning back when he found his way blocked....

Yes probably a token 1p...no doubt Antonio wants pocket money for the vast amount of share he got before saying cheerio...



We will have a very cautious return to dividends in my opinion. I am only expecting about 1p initially.

Live Coronavirus latest news: Still 'not safe' to visit care homes after double dose of Covid vaccine, says Sir Patrick Vallance


Max Stephens Gareth Davies, breaking news editor
20 JANUARY 2021 • 1:12PM



Sir Patrick Vallance has said it is "not safe" for people to visit loved ones in care homes even after residents have had both doses of the vaccine.

Speaking to Sky News, Sir Patrick said: "This is a horrible situation, and many of us have got relatives who are in care homes and how difficult it is not to be able to see them and not to be able to do the things that we all wish to do - the normal human things - but I'm afraid my answer to this question is no, it's not safe."

Hopes of restrictions being lifted soon are fading too. Asked if the lockdown would be kept in place if infection figures dropped, Sir Patrick said: "The advice at the moment is vaccines are not going to do the heavy lifting for us at the moment, anywhere near it.

"This is about, I'm afraid, the restrictive measures which we're all living under and carrying on with those...This is a really difficult, dangerous situation we're in, and we need to get the numbers down, so I don't see a release of these measures as being a sensible thing to do in the short term."

Goebbels would have been proud of this. A blatantly stolen election is airbrushed and no mention of the widespread BLM violence, we are now in an Orwellian world, it doesn't feel good at all.

"Incitement Or Free Speech? Comey Calls For The Republican Party To Be "Burned Down"




Explicit incitement, without a shadow of a doubt.
But of course it's a different standard for Democrats isn't it.

As we saw with Maxine Waters and co prior.

New Sheffield factory for historic knife and blade manufacturer


Harris cm has been appointed as the main contractor for a £1.8 million design and build project to create a major new 1,870 sq m factory and office building at Dorehouse Business Park in Sheffield for Fernite, a specialist manufacturer of precision machine knives and blades.

Fernite is investing significantly in both its workforce and the very latest technology to grow its blade development service, which manufactures bespoke and highly specialised products to suit customers’ specific requirements across a wide range of industries including food, print, paper, packaging and plastics.

The company, which was established in 1832, is currently based at Coleford Road in Sheffield, and will relocate to the new site later this year.

The development is on the site of a former supermarket filling station and has been designed by Sheffield companies, AAD Architects and Collins Hall Green Structural Engineers. Stockarth Project Solutions will oversee the financial control of the works.

Jason Adlam, CEO at Harris CM, said: “This is a great project to be involved with, which further demonstrates the importance of Sheffield’s heritage in the precision blade manufacturing industry. Furthermore, this scheme provides a plenty of opportunities for both our own workforce and our supply chain, with a significant proportion of both being based in the South Yorkshire area.

“Once complete, this development will be an impressive addition to the extensive portfolio of successful manufacturing facilities that we have constructed throughout the region.”

James Kitching, managing director of Fernite, added: “This project is a key part of Fernite’s drive to be the best machine knife manufacturer in the world. Our state-of-the-art new factory will allow us to expand our high-tech manufacturing capability, provide an outstanding environment for our highly skilled workforce and support our pledge to be our customers’ favourite supplier.”

You thickos on here know nothing of Erasmus. Just riddled with envy. It just makes me laugh at how those with no qualifications think they can make an informed opinion on the education system. It didn't fail them, they failed themselves.

"M2 is demonstrating an idiocy typical of a lefty (his trying to claim otherwise is laughable) - an inability to understand that Brexit it is a multi-decade (multi-century, more likely) enterprise whose success goes beyond a daily assessment focusing on items of irrelevant trivia."


Oh yes, living in hope that the next decade will deliver something. Not a great plan is it. "Global Britain", as Boris puts it, who has just said "No" to the world's largest free trade area.

"The big picture is that we are no longer joined to a system that has a high probability of turning extremely ugly within the next decade or two. Better to have left now at moderate cost than to have had an even higher price to pay later as the EU further tightens its grip over what used to be sovereign states."

Sovereignty is a misnomer. When will Brexiters realise that? As soon as you trade you lose sovereignty. Besides, I don't see what is sovereign about being dictated to by a bunch of plutocrats that sponsor the Tory party.

"In terms of his daughter and her opportunities - he is the one to have taken them away by his incessantly negative attitude. I see far more opportunities for my own daughter, and that has nothing to do with the program for the lesser qualified, i.e. Erasmus."

My daughter wasn't the only student on Erasmus. Good for you if you see opportunities for your daughter. I wouldn't look to remove them from her like Brexiteers and Boris have done for future students like my daughter. By-the-way, Erasmus is a scheme for all levels of students. You seem to know very little about the Erasmus scheme.

ERASMUS is for thick British Nannies & anyone from Europe who wants to improve their English.

Minerve, do you deny that a lot of the sickness the system was riddled with in 2008 is still there?

Personally I supported the bailout. If we had got to a state where suddenly cash machines and credit cards didn't work, there would have been major loss of life followed by perhaps a century of more of poverty and misery. I said "some people" wanted to let the banks blow up, not me. But I'm not sure kicking the can down the road will work forever.

In 2019-20, the BBC generated total income of £4.94bn, of which £3.52bn was public funding from the licence fee. That was £310m less than the corporation received from the licence fee between 2017-18.

They got sod all from me!
