Meanwhile, this is what the Labour party are sending out:-

"Hope has won out over hate and Joe Biden has been sworn in as the 46th president of the United States, joined by the first woman of colour in history to serve as Vice President, Kamala Harris.


The tide is turning on the divisive politics of the last few years, we're looking across the water and we're optimistic about what lies ahead. That's where you come in, Joe. We want you with us, fighting for our future and for the moral force for good we know we can be in government."

I responded that they should concentrate on UK politics - like supporting the deportation of illegal migrants.

It's all to help the working man tricky..

re 537, regardless of where you sit, I thought it was an unbiased social commentary. CP g2, I bet you gave up at the point the author was critical of Trump? If you get chance to finish the article it would be interesting to hear your comments. I cant see how opening Americas borders to immigration is going to do anything other than add fuel to a tinder box awaiting ignition. It's probably the most provocative action Biden could take.

IAMP in Sunderland takes next step forward


One of the country’s most significant job-creating developments is set to take another step forward, with demolition work getting underway this week.

Ground will be cleared to advance the next stage of the International Advanced Manufacturing Park (IAMP). The latest work – which will see six vacant properties, that stand in an isolated area to the south of the site, removed – is an important step in unlocking a large section of IAMP land, that will clear the way for more large manufacturing facilities to be constructed, alongside the three new buildings that have already been developed on the park in the last three years.

The land the houses stand on was allocated as ‘employment land’ in the council’s local plan in 2017, meaning they have been earmarked for demolition for some time.

It is expected that over the next ten to 15 years, the 150-hectare park – which spans land in Sunderland and South Tyneside – will support more than £400m of private sector investment, creating over 7,000 jobs.

Councillor Graeme Miller, leader of Sunderland City Council, said: “IAMP is an immense site, both in respect of the area it covers as well as its potential to drive the economic growth of the city and wider region, so unlocking it is a cornerstone of our vision to create more high value jobs for local people in and around Sunderland.

“Along with a major programme of infrastructure works that were carried out by Esh at the end of last year, taking this latest step allows us to prepare the ground for more investment, ensuring that IAMP is a shovel-ready site that can very quickly deliver the high-quality accommodation that manufacturers are looking for.”

The demolition follows completion of Esh’s £8.4m contract to deliver a 1,500-metre highway with two access points along with the installation of pathways, kerbing, traffic signals, associated telecoms and utilities. Bulk earthworks, drainage, landscaping and environmental mitigation works were also undertaken, as well as the creation of four attenuation ponds and a new substation engineered platform. It also means that future phases of IAMP can move forward without delay.

IAMP is being delivered through a joint venture between Sunderland City Council and South Tyneside Council.

Leader of South Tyneside Council, councillor Tracey Dixon, added: “IAMP is progressing quickly and the way is being paved for more developments on this nationally significant site that is already home to some powerhouse manufacturers. Both the infrastructure works led by Esh and this latest programme of work mean that we will be able to progress with further development on IAMP at pace – and that we unlock additional parts of the site that we can offer to potential investors.”

IAMP is situated to the north of the Nissan Motor Manufacturing plant, adjacent to the A19 and with excellent links to the A1(M). Hailed as a nationally significant site for manufacturing in the UK, IAMP will make suitable land available and create a bespoke environment for the advanced manufacturing industry and automotive supply chain. The first phase of IAMP will see 1,650,000 sq ft of manufacturing space unlocked and will support the predicted 7,000 jobs that the overall development is set to create within the region.

60 percent of labour constituencies voted leave in 23rd June referendum does that mean they are all trump supporters ???

The state of the UK epitomised by this woke drivel.

Ladbrokes and Coral owner Entain reported flat full-year net gaming revenue (NGR), with online gambling offsetting the closures of betting shops due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The company, which this week rejected an £8bn takeover bid from MGM, said UK retail NGR fell 36%, while total online was up 27%.

Full year 2020 group core earnings were expected to be in the range of £825m - £845m, “despite the impact to profitability from enforced retail closures”, the company said.


Guardian lead with
"Ladbrokes owner Entain appoints female chief executive
Bookmaker’s appopintment of Jette Nygaard-Andersen brings number of women in top FTSE 100 roles to six"

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Financials mentioned right at the bottom of article after drivel about other female executive positions....

Most people don't care about this PC tripe as long as the person hired is the best/most suitable for the job.

Guardian needs to be burned down alongside the BBC.

Biden sets to work on reversing Trump policies with executive orders


Keep it up Joe. Ignore the haters.

[minerve 2] 21/1/2021 10:48

Oh, I love the smell of no Trump in the morning!

So the Incredible Sulk has gone. Some of the Brexitloons on this thread should follow his lead and crawl back into those little hobbit houses you live in.

Irish ancestry Beijing Biden is no friend of the UK...Neither is Pelosi.Nor are most Democrats in fact.

Ask yourself why.

[geckotheglorious] 21/1/2021 10:31

Maxidi

That is why civil war is coming to the world.....and the Chinese populace/Russia populace will also engage in similar for they will resent both the repression, and the food shortages that arise....

Discontent is going to be globally.

As the elites try to steal everything and return us to feudalism everyone will be forced to make a choice.

Live like a slave or rise up..

Why do you think the Elites are all buying Bunkers on the other side of the world eg NZ. because they think it will save them from what is coming.

"Gecko, just tbc, Minny meant he likes crystal meths, not the champagne."

Really Pierre?

And there I thought our discussions were becoming more amicable. I guess I should have known better.

An oversight?




Joe Biden made the first interior move of his presidency on Wednesday after it appeared he had decided not to display a bust of Sir Winston Churchill in the Oval Office.

Donald Trump had given a prominent spot to a Jacob Epstein bust of the British war leader. But as Mr Biden entered the Oval Office for the first time in his presidency the bust did not appear to be there.

The Washington Post, which was given an advance tour of Mr Biden's office, reported that "Biden does not have the [Churchill] bust on display".

New presidents have their choice of how to decorate the Oval Office, including busts, paintings and some furniture.

The Epstein sculpture of Churchill was given to President George W Bush by Tony Blair and displayed in the Oval Office.

Barack Obama had it replaced with a bust of Martin Luther King Jr in 2009. At the time Mr Obama said he had a second bust of Churchill in his private quarters.

Boris Johnson, who was mayor of London at the time, said it was a "snub to Britain".

Mr Trump pledged before his election to restore the original bust in the Oval Office and quickly did so on his arrival at the White House.

The White House did not immediately comment on the whereabouts of the Churchill bust now that Mr Biden is president.

Mr Biden chose to decorate his office with a large portrait of Franklin D Roosevelt, along with paintings of Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, Benjamin Franklin and George Washington.

He chose busts of figures including Martin Luther King Jr, Robert Kennedy, Rosa Parks, Eleanor Roosevelt and Cesar Chavez.

We could never take on the might of Russia or China without the USA. So we may as well put our hands up and join the commies!

Civil war beckons I fear. As it does in UK (we have similar problems)
Ditto in Europe.

The woke west, holed by Political Correctness(Aka Cultural Marxism) has no stomach for a fight.

And the censorial commies are coming.

Coming for ALL that you have

#YouwillOWNNothing

[maxidi] 21/1/2021 09:39

The end of the USA is nigh. Could a civil war ensue? The voting system has probably been rigged massively and the whole thing stinks.

[geckotheglorious] 21/1/2021 09:34

Similar sentiments Graham and Pete.

The Telegraph has noticeably shifted to the Left in recent years such that I no long buy it.

[geckotheglorious] 21/1/2021 09:30

How did I know Minerve would be a "cristal ponce"

[maxk] 21/1/2021 09:23

Agree there graham. Mindless. But we now have wokeness and all the joy it brings.

[grahamite2] 21/1/2021 09:20

Fair enough Max. If he had stuck to that sort of analysis it would have been a much better article. My objection was to the routine, automatic, unthinking anti-Trumpism, which is really boring besides anything else!
