The 14-story Two Regis will be built at the corner of Regis and Madison, just beside the proposed Megamall Lifestyle Mall.

Farage Calls for ‘Peaceful Revolution’ to Challenge UK’s ‘Broken’ Politics “Within the space of three weeks, we’ve taken [this] completely brand new entity, and believe it or not, we are leading in the polls,” Farage reported. GBP ... 5-years : Last: $1.317 “Something big is happening.” Nigel Farage has said that the UK’s “broken” and “out of touch” political system needs to be challenged in a “peaceful political revolution” so that Britons can “win back the ability of our nation to be democratic.” Addressing a crowd at a Brexit Party rally in Flyde, on Saturday, Mr Farage warned that “there is something absolutely fundamental at stake” beyond the campaign for May 23rd’s European Parliament election, which goes to the very core of British democracy. “Can you imagine an African country, if there had been an election or a referendum that had been overturned? Many of those in the Remain camp would be having fits of the vapours, demanding the United Nations was sent in and that democracy must win through,” Mr Farage said. “But here in the country that has had a continuous parliament since the thirteenth century… in the country that has the mother of parliaments, it is in our very country that the very democratic process has been wilfully betrayed by a political class that has acted — in my view — in the most disgraceful, almost treacherous manner,” he said. The former UKIP leader formed The Brexit Party earlier this year in anticipation of Prime Minister Theresa May breaking her Brexit pledges, resulting in the UK being pulled into European Parliament elections. The veteran Eurosceptic politician was proven right in recent months when the prime minister twice delayed Brexit and ruled out leaving on March 29th without a deal after her controversial EU-approved withdrawal treaty was rejected three times in the House of Commons. “So we are fighting these elections because we are standing up and fighting for the very principle of democracy, for the very principle of self-determination, and for the very thing that those generations that went before us made massive sacrifices to defend,” the Brexiteer said. Mr Farage went on to tell the rally that the two-party system “serves nothing but itself. We have a Parliament that is out of touch with the nation. We have a civil service that has given up on any idea of being independent and many of them are now active Remain campaigners.” Calling the UK’s political system “rotten to the core,” Farage rallied for a “peaceful political revolution” to “win back our birthright. We are going to win back the ability of our nation to be democratic.” The Brexit Party is currently polling first in European Parliament voting intentions and is predicted that more than half of those who voted Conservative in the 2017 General Election will vote for the party in the May 23rd election.

ANOTHER SHOCK COMING? Without a resolution to Brexit, the scenario could be worse for the big parties at the European Parliament elections. They are scheduled to take place in Britain on May 23 following the last extension to the Brexit deadline granted by the EU.

UK's big two suffer Brexit backlash in local elections Deutsche Welle-3 May 2019 / 2 / Pressure on for Brexit compromise after polls debacle Egypt Independent-12 hours ago / 3 / CONSERVATIVES BREAK THROUGH 1000-SEAT LOSS MARK Labour’s shock poor performance today has shielded the Conservatives from much of the criticism their woeful local election performance deserves. The Tories were bracing for losses around the 700-800 mark, the higher numbers briefed out last week were meant to be for expectation management purposes. They have just plunged through the 1,000-seat loss mark… One of the bigger Tory casualties was Arun District Council leader Gillian Brown – it just so happens that Brown is Philip Hammond’s mother-in-law. That’ll make for some awkward conversations at the next family occasion… === Britain's two major political parties have both fared poorly in local elections. The results, seen as an indication of Brexit sentiment by some, saw smaller parties profit on the back of Conservative and Labour losses. Both parties, which pledged to carry out Brexit in their 2017 election manifestos, suffered badly, with more than 90% of results in. While the Conservatives lost by far the most seats, shedding more than 1,100 local councilors, Labour dropped 100 when they had been hoping to make gains at the Conservatives' expense. "Now this is a difficult time for our party, and these election results are a symptom of that," May told party members in Wales. "But I think there was a simple message from yesterday's elections to both us and the Labour Party: Just get on and deliver Brexit," she added. . . . ‘Treated like fools’ In their first chance to dissect the results, newspapers also weighed in. The front page of the strongly pro-Brexit publication the Daily Express read: “Got the message? Deliver Brexit!” The similarly pro-Brexit Daily Mail printed an editorial calling the polls “an immense howl of anger, exasperation and derision at a pathetic political elite failing abysmally in its key task”. It said the public were “sick to death of being treated like fools”. The Sun said of May: “The party she has devoted her life to is demoralized, exhausted and staring into the abyss.” The Times’s front page said May will be told by senior Conservatives that next week she must set a date for her own departure. === Voters message to Witch : Get OUT !

S&P upgrades Philippine credit rating to BBB+ S&P upgrades the credit rating of the Philippines to BBB+ with a positive outlook on the back of the country's strong economic growth MANILA, Philippines (UPDATED) – The Philippines got its highest credit rating to date from Standard & Poor's Global Ratings (S&P), now at BBB+, which is two notches higher than the minimum investment grade of BBB. S&P said on Tuesday, April 30, that the upgrade was made on the back of the country's consistent economic growth, solid fiscal accounts, and good position in the external environment. "The rating is also supported by solid government fiscal accounts, low public indebtedness, and the economy's sound external settings. These strengths will underpin the sovereign's improved creditworthiness," S&P said. A credit rating is an estimate of the ability of a nation to fulfill financial commitments like loans. A higher credit rating indicates low risk of a credit default. (READ: INFOGRAPHIC: What a credit rating upgrade means for Filipinos) A higher credit rating also means that lenders will lower borrowing costs, both for government and private companies. The debt watcher noted that it may further raise the ratings over the next two years if the government makes "significant further achievements" in fiscal reforms.

Why am I thinking about the Truman Show here? The classic film was shot at a place called Seaside in Florida The Truman Show - Exploring The Filming Locations - Cue The Sun ! Reason #1: Seaside and Seafront are similar names - and I think that is no coincidence Reason #2: Seaside is an unincorporated master-planned community on the Florida panhandle in Walton County, between Panama City Beach and Destin. One of the first communities in America designed on the principles of New Urbanism, the town has become the topic of slide lectures in architectural schools and in housing-industry magazines, and is visited by design professionals from all over the United States. The town rose to global fame as being the main filming location of the movie The Truman Show... HISTORY: The idea behind Seaside came in 1946, when the grandfather of future founder Robert S. Davis bought 80 acres (32 ha) of land along the shore of Northwest Florida as a summer retreat for his family. In 1978 Davis inherited the parcel from his grandfather, and aimed to transform it into an old-fashioned beach town, with traditional wood-framed cottages of the Florida Panhandle. Davis, his wife Daryl, and architectural partners Andrés Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk of Duany Plater-Zyberk & Company toured the south studying small towns as a basis for planning Seaside. The final plan was complete around 1985. > Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seaside,_Florida The plan for Seaside, Fla., by Andrés Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk epitomized the revival of traditional urban design. ...

Will the remaining Conservatives come to their senses, before it is too late? Conservatives set to lose 800 seats in local elections, according to Tory polling expert 28th April 2019 The Conservatives are set to lose at least 800 seats in this week's local elections, according to a Tory peer. Blow for Theresa May as Nigel Farage's Brexit Party soars ahead of Tories in EU elections poll Local elections 2019: How the national parties are trying to dodge Brexit on the campaign trail Local Elections 2019: Conservative and Labour anxiety as voter apathy could be the takeaway result A total of 8,374 council seats in England are up for grabs on Thursday, as well as 460 in Northern Ireland. When the same wards were contested four years ago, on the same day as the 2015 general election, the Conservatives gained 504 councillors, with Labour losing 238, the Lib Dems losing 425 and Ukip gaining 112. Of the seats up for grabs, the Tories have 4,628 councillors, Labour 2,069 and the Lib Dems 641 seats. The Conservatives control 135 councils, while Labour runs 67 and the Lib Dems control seven. Lord Hayward said: "The Tories are at an historic high for a governing party after nine years in power. A fall from that level is therefore inevitable at some stage and it will come this year - with force. "The Lib Dems are at an almost 40-year low and can expect an equivalent rise. "(Pollsters) Rallings and Thrasher last week predicted Tory losses in the range of 500-1000. I would fall slightly on the higher side of that at around 800+, of which Labour will probably gain somewhat less than 300 and Lib Dems probably more than 500. "This would only be an adequate result for Labour and better for the Lib Dems."

It may not be pretty, but it is probably BEST for Britain to have a Brexit Nigel Farage and Ann Widdecombe, both ardent Brexiteers, share a joke today before Ms Widdecombe officially announces joining the Brexit Party

LOOK WHO IS IN THIRD Place now Nigel is successfully Faraging for Votes & support (lib Dems have still not solved their "whimp" problem) Poll: Brexit Party in Third Place for National Voting Intentions, Ahead of Pro-Remain Lib Dems The Brexit Party is gaining ground in national election voting intentions, coming third behind Labour and the Tories and ahead of establishment Remainer party the Liberal Democrats. The poll by YouGov, conducted between the 23rd and 24th of April, found that if there were a nation-wide General Election tomorrow, 30 per cent would vote Labour, 27 per cent for Conservatives, and 14 per cent for the Brexit Party. When Britons were asked the same question the week prior, support for the Brexit Party was at 12 per cent — representing a two point increase. The rising support comes as the party’s leader Nigel Farage announced that the Brexit Party, which polled first in a breakout result for European Parliament election voting intentions last week, would be running in May 2022’s General Election. / 2 / Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage and his most high-profile defector Ann Widdecombe have been pictured together today as they begin their bid to woo voters ahead of the European elections in May. The pair posed for pictures outside Europe House, the European Commission's head office in the UK, on Wednesday evening. Welcoming Ms Widdecombe to the party, Mr Farage said: 'I think she's doing a brave thing, and she's doing the right thing, and she's doing it for, I think, the most important principle in terms of what we are as a country, certainly in our lifetimes and probably for centuries in many ways. 'This is about how the world views us. Are we a democracy? Do we have a bond of trust between the people and parliament? So, this really matters.' He caught her, the "big Beast"
