The winner of this year's Nobel Peace Prize is Venezuelan politician Maria Corina Machado
The award goes to the person or organisation that's done the most "for fraternity between the nations and the abolition or reduction of standing armies and the formation and spreading of peace congresses"
US President Donald Trump had led a public campaign to win the award, but nominations closed in January - at the start of his second term in office
Ha, ha!
Trumped by a woman!

Anything !

Labour have announced that they want to introduce digital ID cards. Whilst I don't have a problem with ID cards in general - I always carry my driving licence and i carry my passport when I travel abroad - I do have an issue with such cards being digital.
What about the people who don't have, can't afford, don't want or don't understand smartphones.
For example, I gave my dad a simple big button mobile phone so that he can contact someone in case of an emergency. It was the simplest phone I could find but although he's not stupid he struggles to understand how to use it.
There's no way he'd be able to use a smartphone.
There must be loads of people like him as well as people who can't afford a smart phone.
His lack of a smartphone is already excluding him from things. For example a lot of the car parks in this part of the world are removing their pay machines and only allowing people to pay for parking with a smart phone app such as Ringo. So he can no longer go to those places.
The powers that be need to realise that not everybody is tech savvy, -

I guess this where Fartage got it from.
My favourite Cryer joke was: A man is in court accused of killing and eating a golden eagle. He defend himself by saying that he accidentally ran over it and ate it rather than it going to waste. The judge decides that he therefore shouldn’t be prosecuted. He then says ‘out of curiosity, what did it taste like?’ The man replies ‘a bit like swan!’ -
