The sooner he gets topped the better, it’s long overdue.

Someone need to be a new hero of the Sovi..........THE WORLD !

He's got to be eliminated. Surely his generals realise he's a danger to world peace.

If you want world peace, then us the US and Israel. Need to stop killing people.

War never stops till the people stop fighting in them....

Rich man's trick.

Media build the anger!....

[Oct_63]

I try to understand some who feel anger towards the west, over real and perceived injustices in various situations, the tackling of legacy of Western actions. This really is a a case where those people should not be blind to the grave injustices being committed by Putin in Ukraine because of other unrelated issues. By all means be angry at the west, but also be angry at Russia.
This is, in fact, your believe, short sightedness and/or concept of non-alignment. It is about taking positions on the merit of each other. It is about not taking preordained positions in favour of one side or another but instead judging issues independently and then deciding.
Russia is in the wrong. It deserves to be called out for an act of aggression, regardless of how one feels about the West.
On 24th February European order changed. The lights went out all over this continent. They will remain darkened until Ukraine is free.

War never stops till the people stop fighting in them....

It's time the people of the world unite and stop fighting for the people in power, no anger just walk away, stop the media and the ruling class pulling our strings.

Or they will keep getting the angry people, willing to go and kill other people they have never met, for something that is not their fault.

No condemnation of Russia?
Just your usual bland, grey ramblings, cut and paste as usual. Have an original thought for once.

That was me, find what I have said above and show me a link to it being cut and pasted..

And why would I condemn a whole country??.

[Oct_63]

Yet you condemned 'us, US and Israel need to stop killing people', thhree countries.
Still not condemned Russia. Aren't they killing people too......

[essentialmix75]

Point taken, but when I said the above I said us the US and Israel due to many different leaders over the years, taking us into war.

This is one man Putin the (WEF) puppet, in terms of Russia.

And I condemned all the F*cking Pr*cks who ask, innocent men to kill other innocent men, for the people in Ivory tower.

It amazes me, how people bow down to people in authority and just follow orders like sheep!.

On 3 August 1914 Sir Edward Grey made his famous quote: 'The lamps are going out all over Europe, we shall not see them lit again in our lifetime'.

Cheeky!

[Oct_63]

I honestly had never heard that quote before...
I was chatting on Friday last with a friend in Odessa and said it to her. Thought it resonated with the situation at the time.

Nice to see the INDIAN PM cosying up with PUTIN at a recent high level meeting and preparing to sign "all sorts" or agreements ..... 

Trust they will not request future help from the UK or other western democracies in time of any future emergencies !

Do we send them any foreign aid?

At least 55 million.....................but don’t ask me why.

The irony is that India doesn’t want any foreign aid from us.

We (well what passes for government anyway) seem to think that by donating money to countries like India we gain ‘soft power’.

All foreign aid, other than for exceptional events like natural disasters, should cease immediately. A lot of the money is frittered away on useless projects, or siphoned off by dodgy operators anyway. It’s not as if we are flush with cash is it?

[Tufnell_Chimes]

Zzzzzzz.

[exgaffer]

Zzzzzzz.

Strikes me that you are asleep most of the time anyway Tufnell but I didn’t post to keep you awake, merely to state fact, something you seem unfamiliar with.

I tell you what, why don’t you set up a fund for foreign aid and see how much you get?

You could also help pay the hotel bills of your mates from the horrendously unsafe country of France.

You want these things you pay for them, leave the rest of us out of it.

[Tufnell_Chimes]

You want to stop ‘people coming over here’ and end all Foreign Aid. Don’t you get it?

Has Foreign Aid become the latest dead cat, why bring it up now?

We must be flush for cash, because we have no problem looking after the illegals!

[Tufnell_Chimes]

They're not 'illegal' until their claim as been processed and has then been rejected - they are then deported. So you have figures for how much it is costing the UK to hold these people between a claim being rejected and then being deported? Is it as much as Rishi Sunak threw away (£11bn) because he didn't tick a box?

[firqdays]

I think Smirnoff may be eluding to the individuals who cover their heads and faces when they reach the embarkation point.
Now why would that be ??

[Tufnell_Chimes]

Well, that would be before they are processed so not ‘illegal’.

Splitting hairs old boy, as well you know. If I wanted to go to America and arrived in America without having applied in advance what would I be described as and what would be my fate? If they arrive here without the paperwork, then they are not legal and should be fucked off out of it back to whence they came. Why should we be housing them here, at our expense while it is decided if they are allowed to stay. We have rules, they should adhere to them. That we do not just gives more the green light to carry on.

[Tufnell_Chimes]

Its not splitting hairs Smirns, its the law - it can't just be applied and ignored to suit your prejudice. So how much is that figure 'twixt asylum denial and deportation?

Or, don't you know?
