Are you a QUEEN BEE......... or Rita Ora the Voice Australia.
Beekeeper in Brexit row with Government over threat to burn 15m baby bees By Michael Drummond, PA South East Correspondent 1 hour ago Moment passenger arrested after headbutting Ryanair crew and… Rita Ora taken into mandatory quarantine by armed police after…
A beekeeper trying to bring 15 million bees into the UK says he has been told they may be seized and burned because of post-Brexit laws.
Patrick Murfet wants to import the baby Italian bees for his Kent business and to help farmers pollinate valuable crops.
But new laws that came into effect after the UK left the single market mean that bringing bees into the country is banned.
Since the end of the transition period, only queen bees can be imported into Great Britain, rather than colonies and packages of bees.
However confusion over whether bees can be brought in via Northern Ireland has caused a legal headache.
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) said it is aware of the issue and is working with the devolved administrations to find a solution.
Skype'd Sister living in Perth West Australia, sorry still not able to come visit yet, but if you send me letter offering "House Cleaner" job get round restrictions like Rita. ! Put the Kettle on ..........
COVID-19: CCTV at Rita Ora's lockdown party was switched off, police say.
CCTV cameras had been switched off at the Notting Hill restaurant where singer Rita Ora held her lockdown birthday party to avoid her celebrity guests being filmed, police say.
Ora has previously apologised for her "spur of the moment" decision to throw a 30th birthday bash on 28 November - while the UK was in the midst of another coronavirus lockdown.
At the request of security staff, CCTV cameras at Casa Cruz in London had been switched off on the day of the party, according to the police.
Ora has previously apologised for the breach of rules Work is ongoing in trying to get the venue's licence revoked as a result of the event ahead of a hearing on Thursday, with details of the party emerging in a licence review report.
In a statement to the council and police on 1 December, Scottie Bhattarai, a staff member at the venue, said he had given the event the green light.
Mr Bhattarai added that Ora's team called him on his personal mobile phone at around 5.30pm on the day of the party, saying they wanted to use the venue for "drinks and nibbles".
He said that the venue was offered £5,000 to host the bash and that because most staff had been furloughed, he went to Casa Cruz to "facilitate the event." He apologised for being "greedy," his witness statement said.
Mr Bhattarai added that the group arrived at 7pm with around seven or eight guests, but by 9pm there were roughly 17 people at the gathering.
Model Cara Delevingne and her sister Poppy were among those at the party, according to police.
"Security for the entourage" wanted no footage of them arriving, Mr Bhattarai told police, adding he turned off the CCTV between 6pm and 6.30pm.
Later, Mr Bhattarai said the camera system was faulty and had been scheduled for repair. No payment had been taken in relation to the event at the time of his statement, he added.
Police say that the CCTV hard drives had been reformatted on 30 November, meaning no footage was available for the previous month.
Mr Bhattarai did not disclose any details of the party's organiser to police, the report says.
PC James Larner said in a statement that he was on duty when he and a colleague answered a call about a potential breach of the lockdown rules.
Arriving shortly after 11.30pm, they could hear music playing - but the windows of the venue had been blacked out to prevent them from seeing in, the statement said.
PC Larner added that by using small gaps, they could see two maskless women sitting at a table, a man by the bar, and three other women sitting at a separate table, with glasses visible in the room.
The officers knocked on the door which then caused the music to stop and those inside disappeared from view - with no response from the occupants.
He said that the music stopping and the attendees leaving meant "it was likely that COVID regulations were being knowingly breached as the occupants did not wish to engage with officers".
Apologising at the time, Ora said: "I feel particularly embarrassed knowing first-hand how hard people have worked to combat this terrible illness and being fully aware of the sacrifices that people and businesses have made to help keep us all safe.
"Even though this won't make it right, I want to sincerely apologise."
Me & the Wife arranged for number one Son & Family for Christmas Day then Number two Son & Family Boxing Day.......Dinning Table not big enough for both. Got all the Food in ready..... Boom! Boris bog down ! Turkey still in freezer. We both putting on the pounds eating/ drinking everything else in sight before sell -by date. burp!

Robots to take over from Humans.......... What we know ....... What they let us know......

Pensioner who killed wife during lockdown cleared of murder.
A pensioner who strangled his wife to death just days into the first national Covid lockdown has been cleared of her murder.
Retired factory worker Anthony Williams, 70, told police he “literally choked the living daylights” out of his wife Ruth, 67, at their home in Cwmbran, Torfaen on March 28 last year.
Williams told police he had suffered sleepless nights in the run-up to the attack due to “trivial” fears including that he would run out of money because he was not able to attend his bank to take out cash from his savings.
In interviews read to the jury, Williams agreed with detectives that he was responsible for the killing of his wife of 46 years, telling them he “snapped” after they had an argument.
He said he chased her downstairs and grabbed her by her throat as she tried to unlock the front door to escape, saying he found himself “throttling her to death”.
