Thanks, guys....

Read the previous post in bold.

You have to agree that one has a bearing on the other.

You will note she did not deny the extent and origin of the donations.

In case you're wondering, as you don't seem to have extrapolated, is that Brexit was exactly the sort of gift Putin dreamed of.

Why do you think he interfered in other's elections and affairs?

Why do you think politicians and parties were given not insignificant sums of money by Russians.

These things have undoubtedly helped him to get where he is right now

Apparently he was a bully in his school years, and his speciality was lobbing chalk board erasers at the other pupils.

Turns out he never stopped.

If only someone had smacked him in the teeth at school and stopped him in his tracks.

oh well that’s cleared that up than

no two ways about what you describe is hideaous and barbaric

I for one am totally

Liz Truss

pathetic numbskull

Johnson has to scrape the barrel and appoint this calibre of person because he only uses people dumb enough to agree with him, or dishonest enough to pretend that they do.

Russia has been very clever here...

Clearly been in the planning for years (almost seems like a movie plot)....

While the west have been locked in internal wars, brexit, trans rights, critical racial theory and whether people know what sex they are or if they are binary or not and walking round finding things to be offended by...

Putin and his kgb have been secretly upsetting the apple cart... He's just had to drop the odd hand grenade here and their and then watch as everyone start tripping over themselves in division...

I can almost imagine him sitting in front of a wall of screens with cameras around the would chuckling away to himself...

In the meantime he knows he's got most of Europe by the balls with their energy requirements...

I wouldn't put it past the Russians to be the ones that introduced covid in the first place to upset the world's economy...

With UK and Europe's economies teetering on the edge war cannot really be afforded, especially when up against something as large as the Russian army.

I wonder what side the Chinese will fall on if it did turn into war... Would they have the back of a fellow communist dictator, would they stay neutral? I imagine North Korea would wake up with war also...

Ukraine will be left to fend for themselves... Token gestures will be given by the west like we have done with sanctions already to make it look like we're doing our bit...

Wrong, that would be illegal. Political donations can only be accepted from somebody with British citizenship, dual nationality is acceptable.

“Hey Boris, I’d like to give your party a few £100k but I’ve not got British citizenship”

Gosh I can’t imagine how that can be sorted

 

[Notch7]

...for getting the thread locked.

Don't lose your rag and get all abusive and everything will be cushty.

While we're on that subject, here's some more hideous and barbaric ventures that JB and his Govt have allowed to happen that are directly linked to the Ukraine situation:

TORY FUNDING.

The Tories accepting nearly £2m from Russian oligarchs, and refusing to give it back. This means the party is almost entirely funded by foreign nationals who do not have our best interests at heart.
MPs too have accepted donations.

THE "B" WORD.

Brexit is just what Putin wanted. He regards Europe as an enemy and wants it to be divided.


NO ASYLUM FOR UKRAINIANS.

No safe and legal route to the UK for fleeing Ukrainian nationals.

Note that Ireland set this in place quickly and without question.

brexit supporters are awfully touchy……It’s very upsetting to find out out you’ve been conned.

brexit, trans rights, critical racial theory and whether people know what sex they are or if they are binary or not and walking round finding things to be offended by

Please don’t be taken in by that right wing gaslighting…..it’s bulls hit phoney culture war pushed out by the the right. Steve Bannon has been spouting that carp, no doubt useful idiots like Alex Bellend will be too

What we need to do is to insulate better and install a biomass boiler. Then we can reduce our reliance on fossil fuels

Phone the police, if you're right, he'll be in handcuffs by the morning. If he's not arrested tomorrow, we'll know you're talking ******, as usual.

 

[fillyboy]

Liz Truss says we should not 'conflate people with Russian heritage with people close to the Putin regime'

Surely any other approach would be immoral and obscene.

Yeah, that went well for Germany.

What we should have done

was started getting shale gas

What and have even more left wing liberal remain voting wokists supergluing their hands to motorways? I think I'd rather throw in the towel and leave the lunatics to their own self inflicted destruction.

I'm pleased you agree with me.

What should we as a country do about Russia attacking Ukraine?
