#teeside — Public Fediverse posts

Where does a family in a working class area of #Teeside suddenly find near £140 000 to bail out their lass?

TBH I think she should be deported back to UK (for one thing I don't see why a foreign country should have to bear the cost of looking after her baby) and treated the same as a criminal who did the same in UK - this wouldn't be overly harsh, she's likely served enough time to be released on licence, but would have to declare this conviction for DBS, insurance purposes)

Also Cleveland Police should keep a very sharp eye on that whole family and where they are getting their income from...

The state of these Queer Traitors. When your fellow rioters call you "Peados" do you guys just laugh it off and pretend they're joking?

Good summary here from Private Eye of the ongoing scandal of the South Tees Development Area - a so-called Enterprise Zone - where local Tory government and chosen business partners have combined to turn public assets and public investment into huge private profit in double quick-time.

As an example of pouring public money into private pockets with no visible intervening entrepreneurial risk, it takes some beating.

Government selling £560bn investment for £96.79 is not corruption
Michael Gove's report has proven this

Here is a brilliant story to silence the naysayers who insist the Tories have not had any successes during their 14 years of making the rich richer and the poor poorer.
If I have my details right, the public body South Tees Developments purchased a site on Teesside in 2019 for £12 million.

There been a fair amount of commentary here & in the media on the #Teeside report, so I'm not going to say anything other than to wonder where the threshold for #corruption actually lies?

But in any case, its one thing to examine & report on such practices (whether corrupt or something else) the Q. is what is going to be done to stop them, as we know naming & shaming no longer has much effect in the UK....

FFS: Bozo has nominated Benjamin Houchen for a peerage. For anybody who has followed coverage of the Teeside freeport in Private Eye and the FT this is genuinely shocking.

@gruff “the Norf” as referred to by south has shed loads of money in the region - ie around Darlington a stones throw from both #BarnardsCastle favoured by Myopic MPs and #Teeside Asset strippers & de-regulators delight -but the money is not circulating or working for the UK - tied up in havens,off-shoring, rentiers & “gentleman” farming. Possibly a similar story in #Wales -sharks are circling buying up assets impoverishing communities. It was not the EU to blame for doing this.

Hmmm... what's going on around #teeside?

For a third time the #Tory mayor of Tees Valley has been caught (this time via leak to FT) transferring public property to the development corporation he chairs without any scrutiny of the transfer lists or agreements.

Already there is an investigation being launched but given the prospective use by the #privatesector through the development corp., this (at the moment) looks a lot like a corrupt theft of publicly funded assets;

more #Torycorruption?

"Experts in public sector auditing and state aid believe a full National Audit Office inquiry is needed to establish the exact details of transactions involving the project."

Not sure how giving #Teeside #Freeport contracts to #p&oferries punishes them for not paying the UK wages or abiding by UK employment laws this seems opposite to what was said about the investigation of the company’s flouting of employment regulations. Sacking of its UK staff is a massive 2 fingers up to human rights & is high risk strategy post Zeebruge #Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/mar/21/po-ferries-owner-to-benefit-from-at-least-50m-of-uk-freeport-scheme

Hello loves, latest My Love Letter Time Machine podcast episode out now. CW - Victorian alcohol abuse. Janie’s delight at at the family seaside day out is tempered by Emma’s increasingly unkind behaviour. This week Janie takes us to Cleepthorpes, then as now, probably the nearest bit of sandcastle sand to Sheffield. Absolutely love putting this episode together. Link: https://mylovelettertimemachine.buzzsprout.com/ (you should prob unfollow me if you don't want me bleating on about the pod).

Meanwhile in #NorthYorkshire:
the Woodsmith mine project (drilling down to secure deposits of #polyhalite - a new mineral #fertilizer yet to be approved for commercial sale - continues to suck money in & take longer than #AngloAmerican (who rescued the project three years ago) expected... if you were hoping for a mining boom (with major #infrastructure construction) near #Teeside, you'll be waiting a little longer... although for those fearing its #environmental impact that may be a blessing!
