Presidents Day 2021: What's open and closed on the federal holiday


Presidents Day 2021: What's open and closed on the federal holiday
By Kelly Hayes
The United States celebrates Presidents Day on the third Monday of February — a day that has become associated with three-day weekends for some workers and discounts at retail stores.
The holiday began as a celebration of George Washington’s birthday, Feb. 22, and its official name remains Washington’s Birthday. It became more widely known as Presidents Day after it was moved as part of 1971’s Uniform Monday Holiday Act, an attempt to create more three-day weekends for American workers, according to History.com.
This year’s holiday falls on Feb. 15 and is now popularly viewed as a day to celebrate all U.S. presidents.

Statues to be Given New Legal Protections Against 'Baying Mobs'


18 Jan 2021
Historical monuments and statues in Britain will be granted new legal protections from “baying mobs” and the “revisionist purges” carried out by left-wing Labour Party-controlled  councils, Communities Secretary Robert Jenrick announced on Sunday.
Mr Jenrick said that the change in law will mandate that all memorials, monuments, historical statues, plaques, and street names will have to go through an official planning process, rather than being left to the mercy of local Labour-run councils.
The law will also recommend that rather than removing the statues, they should instead be contextualised. Though the final say on removals will be in the hands of Mr Jenrick, local citizens will also be empowered through the planning process to object to taking down any statues.
