Whether Maduro is the legitimate president or not is a matter between Venezuela, their Supreme Court, and an international court. Unless a court has settled the case already, that is still the legitimate official until he is stripped of the title. The same as Trump who stole the US election.

Uber rewrites contracts with drivers to avoid paying UK’s new β€˜taxi tax’ Hailing app will now act as agent rather than supplier outside London, avoiding VAT requirement, although change is not permitted in London Uber has swerved paying millions of pounds to the UK exchequer under Rachel Reeves’s new β€œtaxi tax” after the ride-hailing app rewrote contracts with its drivers. The move came as rules announced in November’s budget took effect, which adjusted how VAT is payable on minicab fares and would have resulted in the whole Uber fare becoming subject to the 20% sales tax.

What the KENNEDY Center used to be…

Remember that time Aretha Franklin performed at the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors, paying tribute to Carole King, who co-wrote β€œYou Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman,” and it brought a tear to Obama’s eye and everyone to their feet? And Carole King’s reaction. Wow.

Next time someone says they don’t have to apologize for being white anymore, ask them to tell about the most recent time they were forced to apologize for being white and who made them do it.

Please watch & share this footage of 2 lovely guys (faces clearly captured on CCTV) who just stole my bag from under my chair, bending it like Beckham in what is evidently their signature robbing move. Maybe it will be shared widely enough they don’t get to do it to anyone else. Stay safe out there.

β€˜Cities need nature to be happy’: David Attenborough seeks out London’s hidden wildlife Attenborough, 99, enthuses about tube-riding pigeons, foxes, parakeets and others in Wild London for the BBC Filming the wildlife of London requires an intrepid, agile presenter, willing to lie on damp grass after dark to encounter hedgehogs, scale heights to hold a peregrine falcon chick, and stake out a Tottenham allotment to get within touching distance of wary wild foxes. Step forward Sir David Attenborough, who spent his 100th summer seeking out the hidden nature of his home city for an unusually personal and intimate BBC documentary. Continue reading...
