Traders concerned over Aberdeen Market shopping centre’s future
By Rachel Bell Published 29 July 2019 Share close Share page Copy link About sharing Traders at a closure-threatened shopping centre in Aberdeen have said their businesses face uncertainty as they await a decision about its future. The owners of Aberdeen Market in the city centre are seeking permission to demolish the building which dates back to the 1970s. They want to build news shops, cafes and office space. But there are concerns that this could force independent retailers to move elsewhere, or stop trading completely. In February, developers Patrizia, submitted plans to Aberdeen City Council to tear down the existing building and replace it with a new space for leisure and retail outlets. They said the aim was to regenerate the east end of Union Street "creating a vibrant destination within the city centre". However, those currently trading in the market building …

City workers shouldn’t be so fast to join the London exodus
Q: I’m an office worker in London who’s yet to return to the office. I suspect I won’t return on a five-day basis ever again. Is it therefore a good idea for my family to relocate outside the capital? It’s something we always wanted to do (money, well-being and schools are the main reasons), but I’ll likely have to commute for 90 minutes for the days I am in. Now seems a good time given the stamp duty holiday, but I don’t know what my employer has planned. A: I was discussing your question with a friend while having lunch in a local pub when I realised how many life changes we have taken on the chin since the beginning of the year. Our visit reminded me of Fawlty Towers . We were greeted by Basil, who gave us a rules sheet and a lecture, then told us to use the hand gel before we could be shown to our table, which was just six paces from where we were standing. But this was an anti-clockwise pub, so we had to follow Basil’s one-way system, passing all our fellow customers …

From trashing the AstraZeneca jab to championing mandatory vaccination – what a journey the arrogant Macron has been on
U-turns can be embarrassing for governments. Many an MP has promised to eat their hat if forced to go a certain way only to find themselves salting their best tweed cap a few weeks later. But in a pandemic, particularly one in which messaging, advice and trust has become so important, u-turns can have serious consequences. Take the situation in France at the moment, where a government which previously indulged in scaremongering about vaccines is now promising to penalise its citizens if they don’t roll up their sleeves. Emmanual Macron, who originally called the AstraZeneca vaccine “quasi-ineffective” , contributing to a European misinformation campaign about the effectiveness and safety of the vaccine for those aged over 65, has rushed through a bill mandating vaccine passports for public spaces from the beginning of August. In a remarkable statement made to the press outside a hospital in French Polynesia a few days ago, Macron criticised “people who are in the business of …
French ‘cybercop’ charged with upskirting via cameras attached to his shoes
A former deputy police chief was allegedly caught filming under women’s skirts in a Paris department store using cameras fitted to his shoes. The 61-year-old man, who has not been named, was allegedly approaching women and sticking his feet out to capture images under their clothing. Some of the women complained about his behaviour and a security guard at the BHV store in central Paris realised that he appeared to be “ upskirting ”, or surreptitiously taking photos up women's skirts. He called the police, who arrested the man on Monday. He is due to stand trial in January for “voyeurism” and “taking intimate images without permission”. The accused man retired in June from the police force of the Val de Marne district, south-east of Paris, where he had served as the second highest ranking officer for seven years. A technology enthusiast, he reportedly headed France’s first police unit wholly dedicated to investigating computer and online fraud in the 1990s, which earned him …

Virus hits beach resort, as pandemic surges in Argentina
Hundreds of Argentine flags dotted the sand of a beach at the Mar del Plata resort, a poignant memorial to the victims of the novel coronavirus in one of this South American country’s new virus hotspots. When the flags were planted last week, they were a tribute to the more than 500 people who had died from COVID-19 over the previous seven months in Argentina's top resort. Since then, about 100 more have died and Mar del Plata has become an epicenter in a coronavirus surge through Argentina's interior that has given it the fifth-highest confirmed case total in the world. The resort's new reality is starkly visible: Its beaches and businesses are deserted at a time when Argentines normally would be booking lodging and renting beach gear for the fast-approaching Southern Hemisphere summer. In contrast, the Modular Hospital on the other side of town is busy with ambulances bringing COVID-19 patients and several days earlier had been on the verge of collapse. “Today, from …

Kathy Griffin and others react to Marjorie Taylor Greene’s anti-mask tweet: “I would maybe not take her advice”
Georgia congresswoman-elect Marjorie Taylor Greene received a massive influx of negative responses to a tweet she wrote, claiming that masks were "oppressive," including some backlash from stars like Kathy Griffin and George Takei. On Friday afternoon, Greene tweeted that she attended a new member orientation, which discussed the COVID pandemic for incoming members of Congress. It appears she had some issue with discussions regarding masks. "I proudly told my freshman class that masks are oppressive. In GA, we work out, shop, go to restaurants, go to work, and school without masks. My body, my choice," she wrote. According to the Georgia Department of Public Health , there have been over 380,000 confirmed COVID cases, with 8,403 confirmed deaths and 32,497 hospitalizations. People didn't take kindly to Greene's tweet. Many people called her out for being ignorant and risking other people's health. Star Trek star George Takei warned her that spreading anti-mask ideology and …
