Americans are subjected to nationalist indoctrination for 12 years of public school. We just don't call it that. From day one, you're taught that America is the greatest country in the world. That we've only ever been a force for good. That we saved Europe in WWII, freed the

Shostakovich’s Russian Waltz isn’t just a dance—it’s a feeling. 🦋 At first, it glides like any elegant waltz, light and graceful. But listen closer… there’s a gentle melancholy underneath, a whisper of nostalgia and depth only Shostakovich can capture. It’s beauty with a

Orson Welles’ entrance in The Third Man is cinema timing at its sharpest. An entire movie builds Harry Lime as an absence, then a single light flick, a smile, and the film instantly belongs to him.

In 1978, Luciano Pavarotti returned to his hometown cathedral in Modena and sang Panis Angelicus—not alone, but beside his father. His father wasn’t a global star. Just a man who loved to sing. One voice, polished to perfection. The other, warm and human. Together, they created

The restored bells of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris.

The United States, the United Kingdom, and Russia signed the Budapest Memorandum in 1994. The deal was simple: Ukraine surrendered its massive nuclear arsenal, and in return, those powers promised to respect its sovereignty. Everyone needs to remember that

The White House wonders why Europe won’t rally behind America in Iran. Maybe start by asking why your Vice President is flying to Budapest to have a warm chat with Viktor Orban, the man running a Russian influence operation from inside NATO’s borders. While Europe has been

I do wish people would understand this. If a person is working full time and still needs universal credit, the benefit scrounger is the employer.

I love it -- JD Vance comes to a foreign country to openly campaign for a candidate ahead of an election, and then accuses other countries of interfering in those very elections.

Between 1980 and 1990, North Sea gas and oil revenues were £166 billion. Adjusted for inflation, that's 15 times more than the Norwegians used to establish the world's largest sovereign wealth fund. Thatcher used it to halve taxes for the rich. Now, that's 'giving away money'.

I have been wondering all day how on earth the BBC is making this the major news story of today.

Would someone, anyone let BBC News (UK) know that the cancelling of a music festival is not a bigger and more important story than a massive war in the Middle East.

Congrats to the Lib Dems & Tories for privatising Royal Mail leading to first class stamp price rising from 60p (2013) to £1.80 today. A price rise of 200% in 13 years. Privatisation of essentials really pays for shareholders & senior managers not the public.

Urgent: Nigel Farage says he barely knows Trump. He’s heard of him but he’s never campaigned for him, or modelled himself on him. He DOESN’T want photos like those attached to be circulated at a delicate time with local elections looming. Please DO NOT circulate these.

Has there ever been a more beautiful goal in football history? 😍 Brazil 🇧🇷 vs 🇮🇹 Italy (1970)

Kemi mostly works a 4 day week (friday sittings are rare), and gets around 17weeks holiday a year, a very generous pension, and a golden handshake if she gets fired by her constituents. I suggest people remind her to reel her neck in when it comes to defining 'deserving'.

This is what happens beneath the Spanish Steps when a priest from the Diocese of Rome meets an English guy and an Argentine priest Better than a Fellini movie! Rome, Italy 🇮🇹 ⚽️
