There was immediate pushback to today’s decision by
Time magazine to give its historic “Person of the Year” award to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. “Is this a parody?” asked writer Fiona Edwards, “What about the multi million strong Black Lives Matter movement which really played the decisive role in defeating Donald Trump? What about the health workers who have battled the pandemic?” “They haven’t even done anything yet…Totally unimpressed,” responded British author and radio host, Maajid Nawaz. Comedian Dave Anthony was similarly disappointed. “Kamala did so much. She started off having the biggest war chest and then had to drop out before Iowa. Then Biden picked her. And Joe. What can you say about a guy who had 30% enthusiasm, has a hard time speaking and was elected just because he’s not Trump?” he asked.

A Spalding police officer has been branded a hero after saving a manâs life when his car ended up in a ditch filled with icy water.
PC Phil McAllister was on duty when he received an urgent call to attend the scene in Cherry Holt Lane in Pinchbeck where motorist Dave Anthony was stuck upside down in a 12ft deep ditch on Monday (December 7).
As PC McAllister reached the road, which he described as an âice rinkâ, it became apparent that he would need to enter the water to save Mr Anthonyâs life.
