Don’t Be Mad, But Sophie Turner Wishes King Joffrey Hadn’t Died In Game of Thrones
It sounds crazy, but Sophie Turner was actually booed at the Game Of Thrones panel at San Diego Comic-Con.

We have to admit, Turner's answer was surprising since it would have the potential to make things a lot more difficult for Sansa Stark. Entertainment Weekly reported that Turner's fellow panel mates like Gwendoline Christie (Brienne of Tarth) and Liam Cunningham (Davos "The Onion Knight" Seaworth) went sentimental. Christie said she wished Catelyn Stark, who she pledged her loyalty to, was still alive, while Cunningham replied "my baby girl Shireen" who was burned at the stake by Melisandre.

More than a year later, Mr Grayling is Transport Secretary and his agenda is accordingly different: “A thriving aviation sector will be central to our future prosperity as we leave the European Union,” he writes in the introduction to “a call for evidence on a new aviation strategy”. Beyond the Horizon: the Future of UK Aviation celebrates a world beyond the EU: “In 2016 British airports added new routes to Chile, Costa Rica, Iceland, Iran, Peru, Sri Lanka and the United States,” it says, conveniently not mentioning that there were direct flights to all those nations from the UK decades ago.

All-inclusive resorts is an increasingly profitable part of the travel industry, but they're typically known for servicing an older, more family-oriented demographic: The term evokes the image of baby boomers lounging by the pool, or screaming children running around buffet stations.
