Can Google-owned YouTube get any more pathetic in its blatant censorship? Oh, yes. - https://twitter.com/davidicke/status...rymakow.com%2F - They are the internet police.
Ah Boris, you are such a joker.
Always willing to crack a joke or two, even on the sidelines of a conference trying to establish an arms embargo and to halt fighting:

Just as well you're not trying and meddle in Russian politics, and to influence their future voting re constitutional changes.
By the way, with all the recent US huffing-and-puffing over Iran, the focus seems to have gone off Brexit. Due for January 31st.
So how is your Brexit preparation going ?

Given the success of the Brexit negotiations over the past 2-3 years, your accelerated 11 month schedule to conclude a UK-EU trade deal
sounds very ambitious. Is that the right word ? The EU spokesmen don't sound quite as optimistic:

And a free trade deal with China as well ?
You don't think that China might be a little pre-occupied (with Don seeking a second US-China trade deal) ? Or will he likely either be
in prison, or simply be too busy preparing for the US 2020 election ?

Exciting times ahead. And we're only 3 weeks into 2020.

Only one day later, and Boris is off wooing another group:

Since the grounding of the 737MAX, Boeing have developed a habit of issuing "optimistic" estimates of when their 737MAX might return to service.
After:
- the appointment of a new head to FAA (Dickson, ex pilot), who went out of his way to publicly castigate Boeing for this behaviour
- the recent firing of Boeing CEO Muilenburg at the end of 2019,
you might have expected Boeing management and PR to have pulled back on unilaterally issuing "optimistic estimates" as to when the 737 MAX might return to service.
Since then, there has been publication of comments by Boeing staff critical of technical management:

plus some newly identified issues such as wiring (which could have had serious consequence):

Even as recently as yesterday, there was an article talking about "new software fixes" preventing the 737MAX flight control software from firing up, as well as the related impact of the prolonged grounding upon related suppliers:

But today, Boeing do it yet again:

Though the stock market may not be readily believing:

Investor or political pressure ? Prevent bleed of orders to Airbus ? Just slow learners (or fools) ?

In the last article above, there was mention of Boeing approaching banks in order to secure a loan of $10 billion. Which is interesting in light of the following:

Hopefully a quick passage through the pearly gates ...
Yes, very likely.

Good to see that the article also makes mention of "Erik the Viking" ... 8-)

Of course it does not cause you any harm.
