Owner of 139-year-old Scottish department store Beales plunges into administration

https://www.scotsman.com/business/139-year-old-owner-of-scottish-department-store-plunges-into-administration-1-5077730

Beales, the 139-year-old department store chain with a store in Perth, has collapsed into administration after failing to find a last-minute buyer.

Some 1,000 jobs at 23 stores across the UK are now at risk, as administrators from KPMG step in to see if the business can be saved.

Last month, Bournemouth-headquartered Beales hired advisers to lead a strategic review in order to find a profitable future for the business.

Will Wright, partner at KPMG and joint administrator, said: “For over a hundred years, Beales has been a stalwart of the high street in market towns up and down the UK, but like countless similar retailers, has found trading in recent times to be incredibly tough.

Studies Prove (Again) That Trump Fans and Voters Are Racist

Two new studies have shown that “racial anxiety”(read “racism”) is the “biggest driver of support for Trump”. Key quotes:

“In Klinkner's analysis, racial attitudes stood completely on their own as powerful drivers of support for Donald Trump.”

“An analysis of 'feeling thermometer' ratings of Trump finds that attitudes about immigration, Islam and racial diversity are strongly associated with Republican voters’ views of the presumptive GOP presidential nominee."

The United States Supreme Court is giving the thumbs-up to a new immigration law. 

THE BACKGROUND. 

We’d like to intro you to the public charge rule. The public charge rule is a law that makes it harder for immigrants who need some form of gov cash assistance to get legal permanent status. Problem, since the Trump team’s looking to make some changes to this law. Think: expanding the rule to include other kinds of gov aid, like Medicaid, food stamps, and housing vouchers. Which would make it even harder for immigrants to snag legal permanent status. Scene, set. 

THE HAPPENINGS. 

Surprise, surprise - the rule changes were met with some backlash. Aka lawsuits. And yesterday, the case made it all the way up to the Supreme Court. Their decision (5-4): the rule changes can stay. You read that right. 

THE REACTION. 

Massive. As of now, the changes can go into effect in every state except Illinois - which is working through another legal case. Meaning the legal immigration world is going to start looking very very different. Case in point: the law tries to keep low-income immigrants out of the US - and stats show a large number of migrants looking to move to the US are living in poverty.  

SO…?

These rule changes will have a huge impact on legal immigration. TBD, TBD, TBD.

WORLD: The Wuhan coronavirus is spreading faster and faster. Reminder: last month, a mysterious new virus popped up in the city of Wuhan, China. The virus - dubbed the Wuhan coronavirus - has pneumonia-like symptoms and is giving the world flashbacks to SARS (aka Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome), which killed 774 people and sickened thousands across Asia in 2002 and 2003. Already, the Wuhan coronavirus has killed 106 people, infected more than 4,500, and spread to 18 countries. In response, the stock market dropped around the world, with the Dow falling over 450 points. And over in Hong Kong, authorities are cutting off travelers from mainland China - while the US is warning Americans to stay away from China. 

 

USA: Everyone’s talking about John Bolton. We’ll remind you: a central part of the Dems’ bid to impeach Prez Trump is the fact that he withheld hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid to Ukraine around the same time he asked the Ukranian gov to pretty please investigate the Bidens. A central part of Trump’s defense: he was only hoarding the aid because he was worried about corruption in Ukraine. But recently, a certain former national security advisor’s book draft was leaked (cough, John Bolton, cough) - revealing that Prez Trump wanted to keep freezing aid until Ukraine opened up an investigation. Now, it looks like some Republicans (see: Mitt Romney) may side with Dems and call for witnesses. Meanwhile, General Motors is going electric

 

POLITICS: A lot is going on in Israel. Quick refresher: over the past few years, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s been accused of great things like corruption and bribery - leading the Israeli police to recommend indicting him. That left a huge question mark on whether Israel’s attorney general would take their advice. Fast forward to a few hours ago, and...the AG filed a formal indictment in court against Netanyahu. No word yet on what comes next. Speaking of which, Prez Trump’s set to unveil his Mideast peace deal with Netanyahu today. The deal’s expected to aim for peace in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict - but some say it favors Israel. Stay tuned.

Trump unveiled his Mideast 'peace' plan. What a joke.

THE BACKGROUND. 

For forever, there’s been debate over what parts of Israel belong to whom. Palestinians currently have the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, but Hamas (which has been labelled a terrorist group) has attacked Israel for years - leading to lots of violence and death on both sides. In retaliation, Israel started building settlements in Palestinian territories - a move that’s been criticized by much of the world. Scene, set. 

THE HAPPENINGS. 

ICYDK, for months, Jared Kushner (Prez Trump’s son-in-law) has been working on a Mideast peace plan. That plan was unveiled yesterday by Trump and Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. We’ll fill you in. The plan gives Israel nearly full control of Jerusalem and lets it seize about 30% of the West Bank. Palestinians would get the other 70% - plus the Gaza Strip and a capital in East Jerusalem. Oh, and the deal calls for $50 billion in investments in the Palestinian economy. 

THE REACTION. 

Kushner says this is a “big opportunity” for Palestinians - while Trump is calling this a “win-win.” Palestinian leaders disagree. And have already shaken their heads to the plan. All of this comes just after Trump was impeached and Netanyahu was indicted over alleged corruption and bribery - leading some to see this plan as a distraction. 

SO…?

So far, it doesn’t look like Palestinians are on board with this plan. TBD on what comes next.

8 hours ago, NikkiCFC said:

If Democrats were not stupid Bernie would be president now. They blocked him so Hillary could win. Let's hope they learned mistakes... Sanders is best candidate in decades...

That bitter old war slag Hillary is out yet again trashing Sanders and refighting 2016. She and Trump are the two most detestable yank presidential candidates in my lifetime by far. They both are pure cunts.

#madeforeachother

She is going to fuck about, alienate the left so much (as will Biden), that Trump may win again.
