Please, let the cease fire hold, and become a true peace 🕊️ I do not feel very optimistic, but not to hope would be to give evil total power over my mind.

Millions, billions, even, of us, all over the world, praying for Gaza, for Palestine, for peace ♥️ 🇪🇭

This was a typical top deck configuration in an early 747. Look how people mingled back in the day, no phones or iPads. Also, notice how passengers dressed so much better. No shorts here or flip flops. Boeing really have lost their way.

A pub “gone woke”, activist judges, a “revenge” plot by Ursula von der Leyen and a Lithuanian Ballerina personally trying to bring down Western Civilisation - this week’s headlines truly outdid themselves.

All in Bearly Newsworthy, the round-up of what happened in the news this week (or didn't).

Maria Corina Machado winning the Peace Prize , demonstrates that democracy is crucially important to the Committee.

That’s why Trump should/will never receive it.

‘Democracy is a pre-condition for peace.’

Borders have two sides, trade relationships also have two sides. The people who sold you Brexit pretended it was only the UK who would decide to act in uk interest against Europeans but forgot to mention that the people on the other side have a duty to do the same for their own population.

I’ve been conducting a poll and my results reflect the majority view of people in this country and not the rancid views of some dubious middle aged wimpy white gits who think the world owes them a fvcking living.

100% of people polled said will you stop fvcking polling every day.

Milei has wrecked his country - a populist far right character promising simple solutions to get elected. Truss pushed her populist nonsense and the markets plunged. Reform councils are now finding their simple solutions are also wrecking their own local economies. 1/2
