@ChuckPfarrer It's still far from Christmas in Russia. More likely like a New Year bank run.Banks are supposed to stay open until 31/12.

The Swiss get it, why doesn't England?

[John MacIntyre @JohnMacIntyre2]

That would have paid a few nurses, ambulance medics, teachers, rail workers, and helped to reduce energy bills. Pity all that money went instead to hedge funds and investment bankers who shorted our economy.

Telling it like it is: @Kasparov63 on the the apologists of genocide.

[Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya @Tsihanouskaya]

As the number of imprisoned journalists worldwide hit a new sad record this year, Belarus stands as one of the world's worst jailers of media workers. Journalists are targeted because they speak the truth & expose the lies of dictators. They all need our solidarity & support.

@poloandsons Holiday in England would the very last of my choices.

[Tim Walker @ThatTimWalker]

I’m surprised people aren’t angrier about what the brexiters are — and are not — spending our money on.

[Martin @MartinB7893]

@ahmedhankir Not directly poverty,but emotional deprivation,unfulfilled intellectual potential (undereducation) and trauma in childhood. These are more common amongst materially poor people living in areas of social deprivation than in well off population.

@NationCymru "National" and "British" is in most cases just "English" ,but expansive nationalism of the UK government in a desperate effort to hold UK together, tries to promote fake nationality of Britishness, effectively dismissing and disrespecting nations of UK,including English nation.

[Martin @MartinB7893]

@ivanastradner Serbia is country which politics is still driven by expansive nationalism,similar to neighbouring Hungary and Russia. Not to be mistaken with progressive nationalism of small nations seeking independence in multinational countries like Catalonia in Spain or Scotland in the UK.

@andalg1 @BBCScotlandNews Distorted reporting ( to suit unionist agenda) is a sad reality of main public broadcaster in Scotland. How can any conscientious journalist work for BBC Scotland?

[Para Handy @ArchbishopStua1]

What a sight! You can imagine what the first post-ice age hunter gathers traveling north made of that.
The only explanation would be supernatural and together with the lunar calendar pagan beliefs respecting and living with nature.

@Nurseborisbash A nice downward spiral of UK PMs since Brexit vote. Who is going to be next and how much further the country sinks down with them? Disintegration into national states is a serious possibility.

[Olena Halushka @OlenaHalushka]

russian aggression has stolen from us one more bright person, Oleh Rybalchenko "Ryba". Rest in glory

[Martin @MartinB7893]

@Carol10306228 This decision indicates ( if the rejection was not due to some technicality) that independence of judiciary in England is in doubt. It looks like the ruling "elite" has simply extended their fingers into the top level of the criminal justice system.

@allquietmovie This classic novel of Erich Maria Remarque can not do bad in a film version.

[All Quiet On The Western Front @allquietmovie]

The visual effects team behind ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT brought the battleground center-screen, crafting a "faithful and heartwrenching adaptation" of the acclaimed novel. Watch now on Netflix. For your consideration.

[Guy Verhofstadt @guyverhofstadt]

Taxes up 📈
Pay down 🔻
An economy 5.5% smaller..all thanks to #Brexit

Is this the future British people voted for? or was Brexit a con?

[Christopher Steele @Chris_D_Steele]

President Zelensky is truly inspiring. No current world leader has so exceeded the original expectations of them. Courageous, civilised and modest, he’s manned the trenches of democracy against tyranny with real skill. His country will prevail and his legacy will be churchillian.

[The Lady J of Tay @brawday]

TORY MSP Jackson Carlaw has breached the MSP Code of Conduct after failing to accurately declare a paid trip to Israel funded by the Israeli Embassy in the UK.
