THE global economy is on a knife-edge and broke Britain is desperate for growth.
Yesterday, as if conjured by Harry Potter’s wand, in was announced.
We couldn’t be more delighted to report good financial news for once.
A £50billion boost to the UK in all, with 20,000 new building the site and 8,000 staffing it when complete in 2031.
An estimated 8.5million visitors in that first year alone.
We have criticised Labour for lacking a grand vision — and thinking too cautiously in too many areas.
We congratulate the Government, though, for green-lighting this spectacular multi-billion-pound venture.
Yes, it still needs planning permission from the Housing Ministry. But let’s tick that box rapidly and get it built along with so much more.
Two years ago, small-minded Nimbyism from the capital’s woeful Labour Mayor cost East an incredible Vegas-style Sphere.
A Government genuinely craving growth must banish that mindset for good.
Bottle vs whine
COMPARE and contrast.
Days after his latest gruelling round of , the King for another exhausting tour, as his duties require.
Back in his runaway son launches his latest round of public whingeing, yet again over his lack of entitlement to state-funded security in the country he abandoned.
Prince Harry fears he’s an al-Qaeda target. Could this possibly be linked to him brainlessly blabbing in his book about killing 25 he didn’t think of “as people”;?
He further claims paparazzi are a threat to his and Meghan’s safety, after the couple’s dubious and disputed Manhattan “car chase”; tale from 2023.
He even seems to believe that a deal could be worked out for him with the if only his father would just step up and make it happen.
That’s not legitimate, legally or constitutionally. Harry’s case is thin at best.
Trying to settle old scores in London’s is a sorry way to spend your 40s.
Safety first
WE know the Government is desperate to ease. But too many dangerous lags have already been freed early.
Evil Jody Simpson, who abused her baby boy so badly he needed both legs amputated, was due to be let loose without even a parole hearing.
That would be insane, as Justice Secretary has rightly concluded.
Simpson was freed once on licence — only to begin a sex offender.
It is only right that a parole board makes the call on whether this appalling woman is safe to be back on the streets.
