Ah apologies I just assumed it was sunk when I saw it was hit by a missile. Seems like it was tugged to safety by Ukrainians.

Russians really are something else
There is so much to it:

- why shoot at it?
- why not try to sink it if you are going to

It does make you wonder what they are trying to achieve. Not like Bangladesh can do much. But what if it had been an Indian ship? I assume they wouldn’t have fired ?
 
The EU are urging the UK to speed up sanctioning Russians. According to this we have sanctioned just 8.
I wonder why a political party that accepts donations from these same Russians would be dragging their heels in this very urgent matter?
A more suspicious person might think that they are giving them time to move their assets.

Keep on posting St B the corrupt government's connection to Russian funding needs continual scrutiny as does the interference in UK and other countries elections.

A few days ago I read that someone I have blocked had insulted me.
Then I was rebuked by the mod for disagreeing with a comment he had made.
Now this.
You get your wish jasper.
I will now log out and stop posting.

If that from the other day was a rebuke it was a very soft one. And why would you follow a command from a stranger on the internet
 
No please don’t leave us Badger, I have no idea what Jasper is objecting to.
Seemingly straight up any criticism of the Tories or just any that come from the guardian/“our media”

No idea who he does believe on this though. I get that the media aren’t always honest but that doesn’t mean they lie about everything

I have listened to some “anti establishment” types who are insanely critical of the mainstream media who say “no - listen to them on this one. They aren’t lying about everything”

You don’t believe a word? On any of this? None of it? Up to what point? That there is a war at all? Slightly confused by that comment

Incidentally - who do you believe on this then? Which sources do you trust ?
