A group of «professional squatters» have taken over a London pub owned by celebrity chef Gordan Ramsay and are brazenly threatening legal action against anyone who tries to kick them out, according to a report.

At least six freeloaders broke into Ramsay’s York and Albany hotel and gastropub, which is for sale for $16.1 million, boarded up the windows, locked the door with kitchen utensils and glued the locks. 

The chef is trying to sign over the building in a multi-million-dollar deal, The Sun reports. Ramsay stars in the «Hell’s Kitchen, The American Dream» reality show and Next Level Chef on Fox.

Shocking photographs show the squatters holed up in the trendy pub, one of whom can be seen barefoot and sprawled across on a black leather sofa.

Another slipper-wearing occupier was scrolling his smartphone with tobacco, empty water bottles and wine glasses on the floor around him. A blue sleeping bag was dumped on another sofa while a pair of crutches were also visible. 

The squatters also slapped up a «legal warning» sign on the front door defending their takeover and cautioned against any eviction attempts, The Sun reports.

The invaders say they have a right to be there, since it is not a residential building.

The occupation of a person’s non-residential property without their permission is not itself a crime in the U.K., though police can take action if crimes are subsequently committed, including damaging the property or stealing from it, according to Wales Online. 

«Take notice that we occupy this property and at all times there is at least one person in occupation,» the notice reads, according to The Sun.

«Any entry or attempt to enter into these premises without our permission is therefore a criminal offense as any one of us who is in physical possession is opposed to such entry without our permission . . . if you attempt to enter by violence or by threatening violence, we will prosecute you.»

The notice goes on to say that a violation could result in six months imprisonment and/or a fine of up to $6,200. 

Fox News Digital reached out to Ramsay for comment but did not immediately receive a response.

«That if you want to get us out you will have to issue a claim for possession in the County Court or in the High Court,» the notice, which was signed by «the occupiers,» reads. 

Ramsay, a world-renowned chef known for his fiery temper and profanity-laced outbursts, called the police on Wednesday and is trying to secure an eviction notice, The Sun reports.

«It’s an absolute nightmare scenario for poor Gordon,» a source told The Sun.

«The pub was temporarily closed whilst he was finalizing a new lease, and during this handover period, a gang of professional squatters somehow bypassed all the security and CCTV, and got themselves in. They’ve now boarded themselves in the building and are slowly taking over the place, leaving their crap everywhere and brazenly telling locals this is now their home.»

One shabby-looking squatter refused to speak to the publication when he was confronted outside. He had two black eyes with a cut above one and was wearing a blue hoodie, a knee compression bandage and sliders.

He then began recording and hiding around the back of the building.

The building was purchased in 2017 by film director Gary Love, who subsequently leased the property to Ramsay on a 25-year term with an annual rent of $330,000.

Trump’s threats against Canada boost Trudeau’s Liberal Party in the polls as new tariffs set to begin

Published

on


OTTAWA, Canada — As new tariffs came into effect on Tuesday, analysts say that if Canada’s Liberal Party holds onto power, the party can thank President Donald Trump in part for such a reversal of political fortune.

Since Trump’s inauguration, Canada’s official opposition Conservative Party – once leading the governing Liberals by a wide margin – has seen their popularity in public-opinion polls gradually decline.

An Ipsos poll released last week found that, for the first time since the Liberals won the last federal election in 2021, they’re ahead of the Conservatives by two points, with 38% popularity compared to the Conservatives at 36%. Six weeks earlier, the Conservatives were leading the Liberals by 26 points. A general election is expected to be called as early as this spring by Trudeau’s successor, who will be announced on Sunday.

Darrell Bricker, CEO of Ipsos Global Public Affairs, told Fox News Digital that he has never seen a party experience such a rapid and dramatic drop during his four-decade career in polling.

WHO IS PIERRE POILIEVRE? CANADA’S CONSERVATIVE LEADER SEEKING TO BECOME NEXT PRIME MINISTER AFTER TRUDEAU EXIT

He believes the Conservatives’ decline is attributable to two factors.

Justin Trudeau, whose personal popularity has plummeted since he became Canada’s 23rd prime minister in 2015, will step down as head of the Canadian government and Liberal Party on March 9; «And the threat from Trump to use economic force on Canada to bend us to his knee and possibly absorb us as a 51st state,» explained Bricker, about the president’s planned tariffs against Canada and his repeated references regarding annexation.

Throughout February, Nanos Research found the gap narrowing between the Liberals and Conservatives, who the month before were poised to form a «super-majority» government with as many as 240 members of Parliament (MPs) in an expanded 343-seat House of Commons that takes effect after the next general election.

«That’s completely out the window now,» said Nik Nanos, founder and chief data scientist of the Canadian polling firm, who also believes Trudeau’s imminent departure and Trump’s rhetoric against Canada have contributed to the Liberals’ bump in the polls.

The president «has effectively changed the ballot question from: Is it time for a change? – which was bad news for the Liberals – to who can best deal with Donald Trump, the new existential threat to the Canadian economy?» offered Nanos.

Mark Carney Launches Campaign For Federal Liberal Leadership

He explained that Canadian Conservative Official Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre and his party played a part in the Liberals’ boost by «showing they were a little out of touch» in focusing on the Liberal government’s tax on carbon emissions and vowing to remove it while Canadians became increasingly concerned about Trump’s threats. 

«In hindsight, when the Conservatives had a 27-point advantage in our polling, it didn’t have anything to do with Pierre Poilievre being strong or liked, or the Conservatives being brilliant strategists,» said Nanos. «It all had to do with dislike of Justin Trudeau and people wanting change and the Conservatives being the agent of change.»

According to the Ipsos poll, 86% percent of 1,000 respondents said that they want a general election «immediately» to have a federal government «with a strong mandate» to deal with Trump’s tariff threat.

Bricker said the Liberals’ lead in the polls, particularly in Canada’s most populous provinces of Ontario and Quebec, over the Conservatives could even widen should Mark Carney, the former governor of the central banks of England and Canada and the frontrunner in the Liberal leadership race, succeed Trudeau as prime minister.

Veteran Canadian pollster Angus Reid said the latest polling by his company found that 51% said Carney and the Liberals were best suited to improve relations with the U.S., including on tariffs, compared to 35% who chose the Conservatives under Poilievre, who is seen by many Canadians as holding a «Trump-light agenda.»

From south of the border, the president has «eroded Conservative support because it completely changed the political dynamic in Canada, completely changed what could be considered the most important ballot question that was all about getting rid of some of the baggage from the Trudeau era,» explained Reid, founder and chair of the Angus Reid Institute.

«Now it’s one of defending the sovereignty and economy of the country.»

Another Angus Reid poll found that with Carney as Liberal leader, his party is virtually tied at 44% with the Conservatives, at 45% on voting intention. In Quebec, a Carney-led Liberal Party enjoys 31% support compared to the Conservatives at 22%.

Reid said the annexation and tariffs issue especially resonates with Quebecers more than any other region in Canada.

Carney’s further challenge for Poilievre is that the former «on paper, looks like a Conservative,» said Nanos.

«The guy worked in the banking sector and the private sector, like Goldman Sachs, and chaired, until recently, large enterprises like Bloomberg and Brookfield [Asset Management]. He walks and talks like a Conservative.»

Carney, an Oxford-educated economist who has never held elected office, is expected to call a snap election should he be chosen as Trudeau’s successor.

If the polling numbers continue to rise in favor of the Liberals, they could not only win the national vote in such a contest but form a majority government, added Reid.

Currently, the Liberals have 153 MPs in the 338-seat House of Commons, which constitutes a minority government.

«Estamos abandonados por todo el mundo»: entrevista al pediatra palestino que operó, salvo vidas y lo perdió todo

Published

on


Imad Kabaja, médico pediatra palestino, doctor en un hospital de Gaza, educado en Bolivia, sufrió la guerra en la Franja. Sin medios, sin sueldo, operó, salvo vidas, se ocupó de los niños huérfanos y lo perdió todo. Su hospital fue atacado durante el conflicto con Israel, desatado tras el ataque de Hamas, el 7 de octubre.

Este fue su testimonio cuando el presidente Donald Trump anunció que quiere ocupar Gaza para convertirlo en una suerte de Costa Azul en medio de una frágil tregua en Gaza.

Advertisement

Hoy el doctor Imad vive en una carpa, junto a su esposa odontóloga y sus tres hijos. Su casa, sus consultorios, todo ha sido absolutamente destruido por las bombas. Camina tres horas para llegar a su trabajo.

-Doctor Imad, ¿cómo es la vida en Gaza hoy?

-La verdad es que la vida en Gaza es un infierno total. Vivir en Gaza es muy, muy difícil. Aquí recién paró la guerra, paró la sangre. Pero lo malo ahora es que estamos luchando para sobrevivir. Ahora estamos en invierno, mucho frío. Llevamos 10 días de lluvia, un barro casi todas las horas. Y como todos saben, toda Gaza ya está destruida. Ya no tenemos casa. ¡Todos vivimos en carpas! Esas carpas hechas con lo que podíamos conseguir. La verdad, en la carpa no podemos cuidarnos ni de la lluvia, ni del frío. Pero no tenemos más que esto.

Advertisement

-Otra cosa: la comida. Los anteriores meses pasados no encontramos nada. Ni siquiera para comprar. No había comida, y la comida que había, como es muy poca, era demasiado cara. Ahora entra la comida. Pero lo malo es que no tenemos dinero para comprar esta comida.

-¿Entra ayuda humanitaria tras la tregua? ¿Distribuyen ayuda gratuita?

-La ayuda que entra es muy poca, muy poca. Estamos hablando de casi 3.000.000 personas, que, a través de la guerra, han perdido todo. Un ejemplo soy yo. Perdí mi casa, perdí mi consultorio. Mi mujer era una odontóloga, también perdió su consultorio. Los fondos de vida que teníamos todos los meses, perdidos. No tenemos casi nada. A toda la gente le pasa lo mismo. Toda la gente no tiene trabajo, no tiene sueldo. Entonces, ¿con qué se va a comprar? Y la ayuda que entra, ni siquiera ayuda a sobrevivir. Es muy, muy poca.

Advertisement

-¿Imad, usted está trabajando en el hospital de médico?

-Yo trabajo en el hospital de médico. Pero trabajo y no hay sueldos. Nosotros hoy día, durante un año y medio casi, trabajamos sin sueldos.

-Sin dinero. Yo trabajo sin dinero. Algunas veces no puedo llegar a mi trabajo porque tengo que pagar dinero para ir a mi trabajo y subirme a un taxi y no tengo con qué. Entonces, tengo que caminar como dos, tres horas y llegar a mi trabajo.

¿Gaza convertida en la Costa Azul?

-¿Cuál es la sensación que ustedes tienen frente a este proyecto de Donald Trump de convertir a Gaza en una suerte de Costa Azul y ustedes, a vivir a Jordania o a Egipto u otros países?

-Nosotros aquí en Gaza nunca dejamos nuestra tierra. Nuestra tierra es más importante que nuestra vida. Nuestra tierra es más importante que nuestra felicidad. Esta tierra es la tierra de nuestros abuelos, de nuestros padres, de nosotros y de nuestros hijos. Nunca vamos a aceptar. Nosotros, durante un año y medio de bombardeo, durante todos los días, hubo miles y miles de muertos, desaparecidos.

-¿Cómo va a poder reconstruir su casa? ¿Cómo va a poder reconstruir su trabajo? ¿Cómo es su futuro si el alto el fuego continúa?

Advertisement

-La verdad, sin ayuda de alguien, nunca voy a poder volver a mi casa. Mi casa, que era una casa buena, una casa bonita. Era la casa de nuestros sueños. Yo y mi mujer hemos trabajado, luchando durante 10 años, tratando de no gastar mucho para tener nuestra casa, la casa de nuestros hijos. Eso no es fácil para volver a hacerla, la verdad. Para mí es difícil. Ahora solamente pienso en la comida del día. No pienso en la casa ni en mi consultorio. No hay tiempo de pensar en casa. Yo ahora solamente estoy pensando en una buena carpa para cuidar a mis hijos. No pensando en la casa, la verdad.

-¿Qué cree que pasará con la guerra?

-Yo primero pienso es que termine la guerra. Dios quiera que la tregua continúe y no recomience por cualquier razón.

-¿Ustedes sienten que va a llegar la solidaridad?

-Nosotros, ¿qué sentimos? Que estamos abandonados por todo el mundo.

Uruguay deja de reconocer a Edmundo González como presidente electo en Venezuela

Published

on



Tras la asunción del nuevo presidente Yamandú Orsi, Uruguay cambia su posición sobre Venezuela al no reconocer ni a Nicolás Maduro ni a Edmundo González Urrutia como presidentes electos del país sudamericano.

Así lo aclaró Mario Lubetkin, nuevo ministro de Relaciones Exteriores de Uruguay en el gobierno de centroizquierda del presidente Orsi, según el sitio web del diario español El Mundo.

«No reconocemos ni a Maduro ni al presidente que afirmó haber triunfado según las actas que mostró en internet», dijo el canciller, y agregó que «si existen los acuerdos de paz de Oslo (de 1993, entre Israel y la Organización para la Liberación de Palestina, la OLP), ¿por qué no pueden existir los de Montevideo (sobre Venezuela)?».

El gobierno anterior de Luis Lacalle Pou había reconocido, en cambio, a González como presidente electo, quien había recibido enfático apoyo del expresidente en Montevideo el 4 de enero.

Durante la entrevista, Lubetkin fue consultado sobre quién es, para el nuevo gobierno uruguayo, el presidente de Venezuela.

Ante esta pregunta, el funcionario dijo que la nueva administración no reconoce «la situación en función de cómo se dio el proceso electoral. Eso no cambia».

Y añadió: «Tenemos, sí, un problema: las relaciones entre Uruguay y Venezuela están a cero, las embajadas están casi cerradas. ¿Qué hacemos con los miles de uruguayos que están en Venezuela? ¿Quién los protege? Alguien me preguntó si esto significa el restablecimiento de relaciones diplomáticas y mi respuesta es no».

A continuación, rechazó la idea de que Venezuela no tenga presidente. No diría eso porque hay una realidad que controla el país», dijo y argumentó: «Hay un control preciso del manejo del Estado, de la economía. Eso no significa el reconocimiento».

Qué había dicho Lacalle Pou sobre Edmundo González Urrutia

El 2 de agosto de 2024, pocos días después de los fallidos comicios en Venezuela, el ex canciller uruguayo Omar Paganini escribió en redes sociales: «En función de la evidencia abrumadora, resulta claro para Uruguay que Edmundo González Urrutia obtuvo la mayoría de votos en las elecciones presidenciales de Venezuela. Esperamos que la voluntad del pueblo venezolano sea respetada».

El presidente Luis Lacalle Pou reposteó inmediatamente el mensaje de Paganini en su cuenta en X y luego, en declaraciones a la prensa expresó: «Si no mostrás los documentos, es obvio que algo raro hay. Pero, además, no estamos hablando de alguien que tiene antecedentes democráticos. Yo he dicho que Venezuela es una dictadura y lo sostengo».

Asimismo, Lacalle Pou puntualizó que es «indefendible» lo que está pasando y dijo que es increíble «cómo el poder puede cegar tanto a alguien»
