    Russia wants them to pay for their gas using Rubles via Russian bank accounts. That is one way of getting around the international financial sanctions.

    The EU will pay because they are not actually delivering on any of their other threats whilst Britain is supplying weapons and logistics to Ukraine and we should just switch off our small dependency on Russian gas and stop paying them. Who was supposed to be in Russia’s pocket? It seems like it is Germany and the EU.

    Go and live in France then... <ok>

    That is the country where the President capped the energy price increase at 4 per cent and then bought €2bn of Électricité de France (EDF) shares to bailout France’s biggest energy provider that stands to lose €8bn in revenue. So actually Macron spent €8.7bn (the state owns 84 per cent of EDF) that France does not have so that people did not see their bills rise. He may end up nationalising debt-riddled EDF even though that is probably not allowed under EU law.

    I've got myself a load of Vegan recipes. They look quite tasty to be fair, and they're a piece of piss to catch as they keep shouting to let you know they're there.

    I presume you live in a ramshackle barn, and all your energy needs are supplied by your own wind and piss?

    If it comes to Mad Max style survival I'm going to eat my Vegan neighbours, if they're not genetically modified that is .

    I love seeing how much I can extract from this Berk, with just one carefree frivolous, comment.

    It's Crazy Righties. Even since their man Vlad strode into Ukraine they've been in a frenzy. Crazed Righties invade Crazed Rightie country and Crazed Righty de Pfeffel rides to the rescue. Trouble is de Pfeffel is only interested in deflecting from his piss ups.

    Just had a quick look at sky and bbc news websites, very refreshing to see that niether of them have give a single line on the idiots blocking oil refineries today. Starve the ****s of oxygen and with luck they will all drop dead.

    Why is Britain becoming the battleground for this primitive nonsense?

    Imagine if it turned out a Yorkshire cricketer had done similar? It's pure racism that enables her.

    Jewish students slam incoming NUS president for ‘attacking the Jewish community’.

    Shaima Dallali has also come under fire for describing a homophobic Muslim cleric as “a moral compass.”

    It has also emerged that Dallali raised money for a charity that described well-known terrorist Jihadi John as “kind and gentle.”

    When speaking about gay people, al-Qaradawi said: “Some say we should throw them from a high place, like God did with the people of Sodom. Some say we should burn them, and so on. There is disagreement.”

    Discussing The Holocaust, al Qaradawi said: “Throughout history, Allah has imposed upon the Jews people who would punish them for their corruption … The last punishment was carried out by Hitler. By means of all the things he did to them – even though they exaggerated this issue – he managed to put them in their place. This was divine punishment for them.”


    While the president-elect has apologised for a tweet she made in back in 2012 and expressed her support for the Jewish community, she has also hit back at her critics.

    “The pre-emptive scrutiny of Muslim women is symptomatic of the nature of Gendered Islamophobia,”
