Bill Gates to sell £600m green megayacht – before it’s even set sail

Bill Gates had previously been a rarity among his fellow billionaires by opting against owning a megayacht, instead preferring to rent during summer trips around the Mediterranean.

That all changed in 2020 when the retired 68-year-old commissioned the world’s first hydrogen-powered vessel of its kind, splashing out more than £500m on what became known as Project 821.

Gates’s interest in a green yacht was first reported by The Telegraph, when rumours swept the highly secretive industry.

Warning to Young Women: Bears Will Maul You

Have you ever stopped mid hike to listen to an ominous lumbering sound populating the deep brush and, in that moment of terror before a cheeky squirrel is revealed, thought, “Would I rather be stuck in a forest with a man or a bear?” This hypothetical, popularized recently on TikTok, has made its way to downstream social media, with women answering in forums and videos that they’d rather be alone in a forest with a bear than a man. As one might expect, more than a few men (and women) find this knee-jerk preference for sharing a bit of arboreal real estate with wild Ursus rather than Frank from Lac du Flambeau incredibly dense and downright offensive.

The Withdrawal of the AstraZeneca Vaccine Raises Fresh Questions About the Failure of the MHRA to Keep the Public Safe

How can a vaccine that was once actively promoted by the Government and celebrated with knighthoods, standing ovations and even Barbie dolls rapidly lose its credibility?

Ireland’s populist insurgency

Dublin’s marchers have to convince a silent majority

The first thing that strikes you about Dublin is how different the political stickers on lamp posts are: while in Belfast the overriding theme is either pro-Palestine or Irish unity, in Dublin’s central O’Connell Street, it is “Defund The NGO Maggots” and “Mass Deportations Now” that strikes the foreign observer as novel. Beneath a gloomy Irish sky, one anti-immigration protestor scraped antifa stickers off a lamp post while a small boy holding his father’s hand stuck an “Ireland is Full” sticker on another. Others affixed tricolours and green harp flags to fishing rods as Gardaí in their day-glo uniforms looked on.
