British Politics

I was in an airport on the islands, and a group in tracksuits were there too. They all wore the emblem of the Canary Wrestling Team, which I think is a barbaric sport in this day and age.

 

I've seen a few tweets about the Canaries.

 

This is Norwich's top goal scorer

 

I have to admit, I had to read your post a couple of times to understand what you were on about, you wee rascal!

 

I see what you did there, buddy

 

Since my pal Dev vamoosed I have taken up the mantle of dreadful puns

 

What a beautiful looking bird!!

Unless it's a male or a tranny of course.

 

It identities as a donkey

 

Fair enough. Anything goes these days in Wokeworld.

 

Crazed righties attempting to muddy the waters for their pal Tubs. Tubs does the honours for the oligarchs and gives them a month to clear their funds out. Probably in exchange for them letting Rees-Mong have his millions back from a Russki hedge fund. Old pals act.

 

Loser lefties dont seem to understand the UK law

and like to make bull **** up

 

Hiding behind the law now? I thought that after Brexit we could do what we like. The French have seized Russian yachts from harbours on The Med. Tubs has no appetite to penalise those who feed his corrupt party.

 

Since when has UK law been the same as French law?

Also the commies dont have any yachts in the UK

Keep the bull **** coming, my roses are loving it

 

No but they have private jets. Tubs won't touch his mates property. It's not UK law it's English Law. Since Brexit it can be what we want it to be. Excuses by a Tubs lickspittle.

 

Keep it coming

just look at the blooms of my roses now

 

It still has to go through parliament.

Keep it coming Billy

The bold bit is what is needed to change the law


UK cabinet minister Michael Gove is drawing up plans to seize British property owned by Russian oligarchs with links to President Vladimir Putin, without paying them compensation. Ukrainians fleeing their homeland could be housed in the lavish UK residences of oligarchs hit with sanctions under the proposals discussed by Gove, the levelling-up secretary, and other ministers, according to government insiders. Boris Johnson, UK prime minister, who was accused by Labour on Wednesday of failing to take sufficient action against Putin’s allies following his invasion of Ukraine, is said to be supportive of Gove’s plans to seize the land and property of sanctioned oligarchs.

The proposals are likely to require legislation, and government lawyers have concerns the plans would be subject to legal challenges because they would undermine UK property rights. No final government decision has been reached on whether to proceed. Gove’s plans would apply to nine oligarchs who have been sanctioned by the UK, including Kirill Shamalov, Russia’s youngest billionaire and Putin’s former son-in-law.

The government has proposed these people will have their UK assets frozen and be unable to travel to Britain. Liz Truss, UK foreign secretary, on Monday said the government was working through a “hit list” of oligarchs with links to Putin, with a view to imposing sanctions on them. Johnson told the House of Commons on Wednesday: “The vice is tightening on the Putin regime and it will continue to tighten.” One government insider involved in Gove’s plans said “freezing assets is not enough” and officials in the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities were “looking at seizing the land and property of sanctioned individuals”. A Whitehall official said civil servants were examining “very carefully” what steps would be needed to hand powers to ministers to “swiftly acquire specific land and property in the UK owned by a sanctioned person, without the need to pay them compensation”. Another government insider said ministers were discussing using oligarchs’ properties for housing Ukrainians who have had to flee the war in their country.
