DONALD Trump and Joe Biden faced off in their first presidential debate ahead of 2020 US election in Cleveland, Ohio.
The US presidential election is set to take place on November 3, with early voting already underway in several states.
The debate was by Fox News journalist Chris Wallace who was accused of “helping Biden” avoid tough questions.
Chris had ‘bigged’ himself up priot to the battle akin to a World Heavyweight Boxing match in press releases claiming he “did not hold any punches”.
Trump predicted that Wallace would play dirty telling Fox Radio that while he had a “lot of respect” for Wallace, he was “willing to bet that he won’t ask Biden tough questions.”
“He’ll ask me tough questions, and it’ll show, it’ll be unfair,” Trump said. “He’ll be controlled by the radical left.”
Topics debated included the coronavirus pandemic, racial violence, election integrity and the economy among other things.
The Commission on Presidential Debates had to introduce new measures to help prevent the spread of coronavirus such as limiting audience size in the room, adding distance between seats, incorporating personal health screening and other safety measures.
On September 2016, the first presidential debate for the 2016 US election between Donald Trump and former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton set the record as the most-watched debate in American history, with 84 million viewers.

YOU’RE NOT COMING IN! Bars and Restaurants Across Britain REFUSE to Serve MPs over 10 pm Rule #CancelTheCurfew

BARS and Restaurants across Britain have vowed to refuse to serve MPs over the disastrous 10pm curfew that has been accused of “ crippling ” the hospitality sector .
One bar called Mojo in Manchester said : “ We call on our friends in pubs & restaurants across the country to join us in putting all the members of parliament on notice.
” “ Until they release our industry to trade/provide us with viable financial support , we will not serve them.
” In the open letter to the Prime Minister the ‘ Cancel The Curfew ’ campaign warns that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ thousands of revellers pile out into the streets across the UK at the same time could be the ‘ final nail in the coffin ’ for an industry that is ‘ dying ’ , with some reporting a drop in trade of 60 per cent since the measure was introduced .
Michael Greenhow , of Mojo , said there was no evidence to support the ‘ assumption ’ that hospitality is driving infection , and ‘ as of yet no sign of the threatened dramatic upturn in deaths ’ .
“ The move @ @ @ @ @ @ @ already crippled industry seems unjust and punitive , not to mention illogical and irrational , ” he said .
“ Are people more infectious after 10pm ?
Hospitality has slaved to work responsibly within the constraints laid out for us and now we are being thrown aside with scant concern for the impact these measures will have on our businesses and the wider economy.
” The curfew will cost the industry £5.5m per day , in central London alone .
Tom Lord , founder of Hospitality Gin and hospitality consultant , says : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in grave danger of being suffocated by this curfew .
“ Some venues were starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel before it was announced as customers returned and we all settled into ‘ the new normal ’ .
Now we ’ ve been plunged back into uncertainty .

“ We have borne the brunt of the measures @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are vilified as breeding grounds for the virus , yet Public Health England ’ s own figures show this is not true .

CANCEL THE CURFEW BORIS!
BARS and Restaurants across Britain have vowed to refuse to serve MPs over the disastrous 10pm curfew that has been accused of “crippling” the hospitality sector.
One bar called Mojo in Manchester said: “We call on our friends in pubs & restaurants across the country to join us in putting all the members of parliament on notice.”
“Until they release our industry to trade/provide us with viable financial support, we will not serve them.”
In the open letter to the Prime Minister the ‘Cancel The Curfew’ campaign warns that the 10pm rule – that has seen thousands of revellers pile out into the streets across the UK at the same time could be the ‘final nail in the coffin’ for an industry that is ‘dying’, with some reporting a drop in trade of 60 per cent since the measure was introduced.
Michael Greenhow, of Mojo, said there was no evidence to support the ‘assumption’ that hospitality is driving infection, and ‘as of yet no sign of the threatened dramatic upturn in deaths’.
“The move to curtail the operational hours of our already crippled industry seems unjust and punitive, not to mention illogical and irrational,” he said.
“Are people more infectious after 10pm? Hospitality has slaved to work responsibly within the constraints laid out for us and now we are being thrown aside with scant concern for the impact these measures will have on our businesses and the wider economy.”
The curfew will cost the industry £5.5m per day, in central London alone.
Tom Lord, founder of Hospitality Gin and hospitality consultant, says: “The industry that we love is in grave danger of being suffocated by this curfew.
“Some venues were starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel before it was announced as customers returned and we all settled into ‘the new normal’. Now we’ve been plunged back into uncertainty. “We want the British public to know the impact that the curfew is going to have, not just on our businesses, but on our friends and colleagues. “We have borne the brunt of the measures announced over the past fortnight.

BURNHAM TO BORIS: OPEN THE PUBS!
LABOUR Manchester Mayor has slammed Boris Johnson for closing bars and restaurants in Bolton – despite cases falling and has told him to ‘open-up’ Bolton’s bars and restaurants.
Boris has forced Bolton’s pubs and restaurants to close and they can only operate a takeaway-only service crushing an already struggling hospitality sector.
The ban comes as FOUR boroughs in England have LARGER rates than Bolton, yet the town is the only one in the country to have strict measures.

“And the longer they’re in, the more the anomalies/injustices grow.”
“Either Ministers close hospitality in places with high cases with compensation.”
“Or let Bolton’s open today. It’s that simple.”
RETRAT BOSS SLAMS BOZ
The Bolton Evening News reported that high-end Bolton restaurant and bar Retreat who have three sites in the Town with a ban on bars and restaurants opening – the only place in Greater Manchester to have such measures.
The boss of Retreat has written to Health Secretary Matt Hancock asking why Bolton is being subjected to different rules.
He also urged owners of other Restaurants, bars and pubs in Bolton who have been closed for three weeks to “Write to Matt Hancock” to voice concern.
Richard Hibbert, the director of Retreat, said: “We are just being ignored. David Greenhalgh and the MPs Chris Green and Mark Logan have been pushing for restrictions to change.
“They have been saying that Bolton needs to be put on a level playing field. But unfortunately the national government aren’t taking any notice.
“We were told to close because Bolton had the highest rate, we had exceeded 120 cases per 100,000.
“But now there are 26 other boroughs who have higher rates then this and their hospitality businesses haven’t closed.
“It just feels like one rule for us and one rule for everyone else, we have been left hung out to dry.”
“It’s totally unjust. They seem to be ignoring everyone in Manchester; the MPs, the Mayor, the papers, they’re not taking any notice.

Earlier in the day, the disqualification of President Quim Torra by the High Court of Justice of Catalonia was announced. The ruling implies the replacement of Torra by the vice-president of the Generalitat, Pere Aragones, until new elections are held.
Torra criticized the court’s ruling, and said it was revenge against those who defend human and universal rights.
CATALAN PREZ CALLS FOR ‘DEMOCRATIC RUPTURE’
President Quim Torra said a ‘democratic, peaceful and disobedient rupture’ was the way for the region to gain its independence at a press conference in Barcelona on Monday.
He made the statement after the Superior Court of Justice of Catalonia suspended him on the grounds of disobedience. “Today I want to address myself to you, because some judges, and not the people of Catalonia represented in Parliament, have decided that I can no longer be the President of Catalonia,” he said, adding that he would appeal the decision in the European Union.
He also referred to the regional elections that will take place in a few months, saying the poll “must be a new plebiscite and a new mandate to confirm the October 1st referendum.” Torra also criticised the Spanish government for “accompanying” a “monarch accused of corruption to hide in a dictatorship” in reference to the departure of King emeritus Juan Carlos I to the United Arab Emirates.

The Commons is expected to back the renewal of the emergency powers in the Coronavirus Act later on Wednesday but more than 50 Conservatives had signed an amendment calling for ministers to give MPs debates and votes on measures.

SHOCK video has been leaked of two Gypsy and Traveller women , one who was pregnant – being arrested during a police raid on an unauthorised camp in Essex .
The Travellers Times exclusively revealed the regular abuse and harassment the Travelling community face in the UK .
In the videos the two women are surrounded by police and handcuffed as screaming children run around distraught at what they are seeing .
“ The police pressure pointed me until I was in a seizure , ” Whitney – one of the women arrested – told the Travellers ’ Times .

The police then hand cuffed me while I was having a seizure and carried me across a field.
” ‘ Get off me – I haven ’ t done anything wrong ’ screams Whitney The two arrests came as police served a section 61 eviction on an unauthorised Gypsy and Traveller camp in Harlow .
Section 61 evictions are special powers that the police have that can only be used if the Traveller camp is causing anti-social or other problems .
The women who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no trouble and that the police raid came out of nowhere .
“ I didn ’ t do anything wrong they came out of nowhere after arresting the first woman , ” said Whitney .
“ I didn ’ t touch the police , I didn ’ t do anything wrong , they just came into my camp and seized me without provocation .
I have never been arrested before in my life.

” A Traveller child – a young boy – can also be seen desperately trying to pass the police an inhaler for Whitney as she collapses to the ground .

” Another child , a young teenage girl is forcibly pushed out of the way as she tries to defend the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out of the way “ They police took me to the station and after having me in custody all day with no charge I was de-arrested after I was taken to hospital because my heart rate was so high , ” says Whitney .
“ Down the police station an officer also said to me ; ‘ custody isn ’ t that bad you can have a shower with one off us present , ’ which scared me even more .
I am now scared of the police.
” The Traveller camp appeared @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Harlow Council failed to renew its injunction banning all unauthorised camps from the Essex town .
The original injunction was granted in an “ unprecedented ” ruling in 2015 , and was applied for jointly by Harlow Council and Essex County Council .
At the time , the Gypsy Council described it as “ like a police state ” .
Local Conservative MP , Robert Halfon , who is a known anti-Traveller politician and who is helping to push through the Governments new laws to criminalise trespass , said that the camp was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ must be zero tolerance without equivocation towards illegal encampments , ” said the MP .
Unauthorised encampments are not “ illegal ” because no criminal law is being broken .
This is not born out by the video evidence that the Travellers ’ Times has seen which clearly shows two women being arrested .
“ I want the story out and the police not to keep getting away with what they did to me , ” says Whitney , who is still traumatised by her experience .
“ I have never been arrested @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rubbish and I want justice for me and my unborn child.
” Sherrie Smith , chief of the local charity Gypsies and Travellers Essex said that the police had serious questions to answer .
“ Gypsies and Travellers Essex was founded for exactly this reason , ” said Sherrie Smith , A Romany Gypsy campaigner .
Essex is an unwelcoming hostile and often dangerous county for Gypsy & Traveller residents of Essex and those travelling through .
Essex police have again shown themselves to be institutionally racist to our communities .

SHOCK video has been leaked of two Gypsy and Traveller women, one who was pregnant – being arrested during a police raid on an unauthorised camp in Essex.
The Travellers Times exclusively revealed the regular abuse and harassment the Travelling community face in the UK.
In the videos the two women are surrounded by police and handcuffed as screaming children run around distraught at what they are seeing.
“The police pressure pointed me until I was in a seizure,” Whitney – one of the women arrested – told the Travellers’ Times. “I am seven months pregnant,” said Whitney who is a Romany Gypsy. The police then hand cuffed me while I was having a seizure and carried me across a field.”
‘Get off me – I haven’t done anything wrong’ screams Whitney
The two arrests came as police served a section 61 eviction on an unauthorised Gypsy and Traveller camp in Harlow.
Section 61 evictions are special powers that the police have that can only be used if the Traveller camp is causing anti-social or other problems. The women who were arrested say that they were causing no trouble and that the police raid came out of nowhere.
“I didn’t do anything wrong they came out of nowhere after arresting the first woman,” said Whitney. “I didn’t touch the police, I didn’t do anything wrong, they just came into my camp and seized me without provocation. I have never been arrested before in my life.”
Whitney can be seen in one of the videos having a seizure and collapsing as police initially try to hold her upright. In the background another Traveller woman can be heard crying pout to the police; “she’s epileptic!”
A Traveller child – a young boy – can also be seen desperately trying to pass the police an inhaler for Whitney as she collapses to the ground. Another child, obviously confused and distraught, can be heard repeatedly yelling – “Call the police, someone call the police!” Another child, a young teenage girl is forcibly pushed out of the way as she tries to defend the women.
A teenage girl is shoved out of the way “They police took me to the station and after having me in custody all day with no charge I was de-arrested after I was taken to hospital because my heart rate was so high,” says Whitney. “Down the police station an officer also said to me; ‘custody isn’t that bad you can have a shower with one off us present,’ which scared me even more. I am now scared of the police.”
The Traveller camp appeared a few months after the Labour run Harlow Council failed to renew its injunction banning all unauthorised camps from the Essex town.
The original injunction was granted in an “unprecedented” ruling in 2015, and was applied for jointly by Harlow Council and Essex County Council. At the time, the Gypsy Council described it as “like a police state”.
Local Conservative MP, Robert Halfon, who is a known anti-Traveller politician and who is helping to push through the Governments new laws to criminalise trespass, said that the camp was “deeply worrying”.
“There must be zero tolerance without equivocation towards illegal encampments,” said the MP.
Unauthorised encampments are not “illegal” because no criminal law is being broken.
This is not born out by the video evidence that the Travellers’ Times has seen which clearly shows two women being arrested.
“I want the story out and the police not to keep getting away with what they did to me,” says Whitney, who is still traumatised by her experience.
“I have never been arrested in my life and was treated like rubbish and I want justice for me and my unborn child.”
Sherrie Smith, chief of the local charity Gypsies and Travellers Essex said that the police had serious questions to answer.
“Gypsies and Travellers Essex was founded for exactly this reason,” said Sherrie Smith, A Romany Gypsy campaigner.
Essex is an unwelcoming hostile and often dangerous county for Gypsy & Traveller residents of Essex and those travelling through.
Essex police have again shown themselves to be institutionally racist to our communities. It’s been 10 years since Dale farm nothings changed, millions wasted. How much did this operation cost Essex police and can that amount of tax payers money be justified for an unauthorised encampment of families, children and pregnant women?
The levels of violence and aggression is not acceptable an explanation must be given.”

TRUMP Vs BIDEN & WALLACE
FOX News moderator Chris Wallace was slammed by viewers of the first Presidential Debate last night after he was accused of “helping” Democratic candidate Joe Biden escape a mauling by Donald Trump.
Wallace who is a mainstream media veteran who previously worked for CBS and ABC before moving to Fox in 2002 was panned by critics who said he was ‘unable’ to control the debate as Trump landed zing after zing on Biden.
Chris had ‘bigged’ himself up prior to the battle akin to a World Heavyweight Boxing match in press releases claiming he “did not hold any punches”, yet he barley threw a punch at Biden.
Trump predicted that Wallace would play dirty telling Fox Radio that while he had a “lot of respect” for Wallace, he was “willing to bet that he won’t ask Biden tough questions.”
“He’ll ask me tough questions, and it’ll show, it’ll be unfair,” Trump said. “He’ll be controlled by the radical left.”

Team Trump also revealed that Wallace interrupted Biden 15 times, interrupted President Trump a whopping 76 times.

BORIS Johnson and Priti Patel have considered sending illegal migrants on a remote Island owned by Britain in a bid to tackle the Dover Migrant Crisis .
Britain ’ s Overseas Ascension Island could see migrants deported and processed on the volcanic terain more than 4,000 miles from the UK .

The Financial Times reported that the Home Secretary had ordered officials @ @ @ @ @ @ @ processing centre on the island .
But a Home Office source attempted to play it down , saying Ms Patel had asked staff to explore how other nations process claims , with Australia keeping asylum seekers in detention facilities on overseas islands .
The source said the Foreign Office was consulted , with Ascension and St Helena , which is in the same island group , being proposed before being dismissed as too far away .
Australian immigration policies have long been championed by Boris Johnson but Downing Street said policies from a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been considered .
“ We are developing plans to reform our illegal migration and asylum policies so we can keep providing protection to those who need it while preventing abuse of the system and criminality which , as we have seen with the rise in gang-facilitated Channel crossings , is a problem , ” the Prime Minister ’ s official spokesman said .
“ As part of that work , we have been looking at what a whole host of other countries do to inform a plan for the UK .
That work @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Thomas-Symonds said : “ This ludicrous idea is inhumane , completely impractical and wildly expensive .
So it seems entirely plausible this Tory Government came up with it.
