Brexit: Loyalist groups withdraw support for Good Friday Agreement over Northern Ireland Protocol

· March 4, 2021 ·

Loyalist paramilitary groups in Northern Ireland have withdrawn their support for the Good Friday Agreement in protest at post-Brexit border arrangements.

They called for the Protocol, a key part of the UK's divorce deal with the EU aimed at avoiding a hard border on the island of Ireland, to be amended following weeks of issues with trade between Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

COVID-19: Test and Trace ‘barely used’ check-in data from pubs and restaurants – with thousands not warned of infection risk

· March 4, 2021 ·

Check-in data from hundreds of millions of people who visited pubs, restaurants and hairdressers before lockdown was barely used by Test and Trace, according to a confidential report obtained by Sky News. The report admits that the failure of the £22bn service to use the data for alerts or contact tracing meant "thousands of people" were not warned they might be at risk of infection, "potentially leading to the spread of the virus." Live COVID updates from the UK and around the world To make matters worse, when coronavirus data from venues was used, public health officials encouraged pubs and restaurants to contact customers directly - a breach of data protection law which could leave businesses facing legal action. The report says that lack of guidance from Test and Trace for local public health teams on how to use the data left businesses "being asked to, or volunteering, to contact customers and visitors".

Thailand holidays to open to Brits as early as July – as country aims to reopen borders ahead of summer

· March 3, 2021 ·

THAILAND wants to welcome tourists back to the country as soon as July. Tourist groups in Thailand have launched the #OpenThailandSafely campaign, which wants to allow travellers with proof of a COVID-19 vaccine into the country without quarantine requirements by July 1. The petition, being sent to the Thai government, said: "As Thailand is starting to vaccinate its most vulnerable and its healthcare workers, we believe that now is the time to announce a firm and irreversible date to reopen its borders. "This will give confidence to international travellers and encourage them to book a trip to Thailand." "Thai tourism operators, especially those reliant on international travel, would then be able to start business planning, accept forward bookings, start to rehire staff, and conduct training programs. "Without a firm commitment to reopening made now, Thailand may lose all of 2021 as travellers will make plans for alternative destinations." Thailand has been off … [Read more...] about Thailand holidays to open to Brits as early as July – as country aims to reopen borders ahead of summer

Art in exile: A prison cell as an exhibition venue

· January 3, 2021 ·

A glass box, 25 square meters (269 square feet) in size, contains a toilet, a bed, a table and chair and a sink — nothing more. This artistic installation is a replica of a prison cell at the high-security Silivri prison in Turkey and is titled Prison of Though t. Next door, the exhibition titled T he Museum of Small Things is taking place in a part of Berlin's Maxim Gorki Theater.
