Former wife of Screwfix millionaire loses money battle in UK High Court



The ex-wife of a millionaire businessman whose family founded the Screwfix chain lost a High Court battle over company shares, but was awarded more than £1 million ($1.3 million) to cover the cost of raising their children.

James Goddard-Watts and his ex-wife Julia, who divorced in 2010, have been embroiled in a long-running financial feud.

The latest round of that fight has now been adjudicated by a judge.

Earlier this year, Sir Jonathan Cohen heard arguments in the Family Division of the High Court in London.

Judges were told that Mr and Ms Goddard-Watts, both in their 50s, had reached an agreement to end their 13-year marriage in 2010.

Mr Goddard-Watts had agreed to give his ex-wife a house worth £3.25 million and a lump sum of £4 million.

She later complained that he had not disclosed the full extent of his wealth.

A judge then ruled that Mr Goddard-Watts had "made a false presentation" when signing the 2010 agreement, and he was ordered to pay his ex-wife more than £6 million ($7.8 million) in 2016.

7 Men Found Dead in Popular Mexico Tourist Area With Gang Warning Messages Written on Corpses

Image
Authorities on the Gulf Coast of Mexico said seven men’s bodies were found  dumped  on a roadway in the Huasteca region, according to an Associated Press report. The Huasteca region is a popular spot for Mexican tourists who enjoy its waterfalls and crystalline rivers. Prosecutors in San Luis Potosi stated late Thursday the men may have been killed elsewhere and their bodies later dumped in the rural area where they were found. The local Mexican authorities said the dead men were probably not from the region’s important tourist destination,  Aquismon . Extensive bruising on the corpses, suggesting they had been beaten, were reportedly visible in photos of the bodies, the report noted. A message made by markers was written on the corpses, warning, “this is what happened to me for working with the Gulf.” The Gulf Cartel, allegedly imports large amounts of cocaine into the United States with distribution reportedly reaching as far north as New York. . . . .  continue re...

Setback for Bill Gates: Sweden cancels his controversial project to dim the Sun

Image
The Swedish Space Corporation (SSC) announced that the flight to test the possibility of dimming the sun’s rays’ incidence on the Earth, planned for June, would not go ahead. “The scientific community is divided regarding geoengineering, including any related technology tests such as the planned technical balloon test flight from Esrange this summer,” the SSC said in a statement, Asia Pacific Daily  reported  April 2.  Bill Gates has funded the controversial project proposed this time by Harvard University as the Controlled Stratospheric Perturbation Experiment, or SCoPEx, which attempts to disperse a calcium carbonate (chalk) cloud into the atmosphere from a high-altitude balloon to study its effects on sunlight reaching Earth. The first attempt scheduled for June would send the first balloon with 600 kg of scientific equipment onboard over the Swedish city of Kiruna located in the Arctic. It would release 2 kg of chalk dust into the stratosphere at 20 km altitude at the...

Wuhan Bio Lab Conducted Monkeypox Virus Gain of Function Research

Image
According to a report citing the peer-reviewed journal Virologica Sinica, which published the lab's findings in February, the Wuhan bio lab that was the centre of controversy surrounding gain of function research on coronaviruses appears to have been carrying out the same kind of research on monkeypox, to make it more lethal to humans. The National Pulse reports: The Wuhan Institute of Virology assembled a monkeypox virus genome, allowing the virus to be identified through PCR tests, using a method researchers flagged for potentially creating a “contagious pathogen.” The report continues: The study was first published in February 2022, just months before the latest international outbreak of monkeypox cases which appear to have now reached the United States. Researchers appeared to identify a portion of the monkeypox virus genome, enabling PCR tests to identify the virus, in the paper: “ Efficient Assembly of a Large Fragment of Monkeypox Virus Genome as a qPCR T...
