a digger was used to destroy the reception area of a new Travelodge hotel in Liverpool on the day building was due to be completed.
Footage shared on social media showed the vehicle repeatedly smashing into the hotel in Liverpool Innovation Park.
“The handover was today, everything completed, we’d put the last tile in, cleaned up and made sure everything was perfect,” said Samuel White, a ceiling fixer. “Then some idiot in a mini digger decided to drive through the middle of the building.” White said the destruction went on for “a good 20 or 30 minutes”.
The video does indeed contain some strong language but it's in Liverpool so you won't understand it.
It's believed to be a dispute over unpaid wages of £600.
French people are required to carry hi-vis jackets in their cars. Canadians are required to carry hockey sticks. Makes perfect sense.
It’s like, how much more Canadian could this be? And the answer is none. None more Canadian.
Actually, they’d have to spend a good chunk of time apologising to each other before the hockey game broke out for it to be peak Canadian. I presume we don’t know for sure that this didn’t happen, because the video presumably only shows the hockey game, but just sayin’.

OTTAWA – “I don’t know who this Al guy thinks he is,” said Canadian prime ministerial hopeful Andrew Scheer today, as he furthered his attack on things he found online that he doesn’t understand, and isn’t interested in looking into, “But if he thinks for one second that myself and the rest of the Conservative Party of Canada aren’t onto him, and his nefarious search engine suggestions, then he is a very foolish Gorithm indeed.”
