    Given some on here advocated for no borders, clearly in their world Russia hasn't invaded Ukraine. :emoticon-0133-wait:

    It seems he lost the confidence of the military, who opposed his support for Putin.

    You don't need to be an expert in logistics to work it out. If the average wait for a crossing is half an hour at Calais and eight hours at Dover then quite a lot of goods are coming in relative to the amount going out. Clearly the government saw the potential fallout from shortages on this side and decided to just let everything through. It seems that we have freedom of movement for goods if not for labour. Was that what was intended from Brexit?

    "I first witnessed millionaire ex-banker Rishi Sunak's ordinary bloke act when interviewing the then-Treasury Minister in 2019.

    He pointedly told me how he'd been eating Pot Noodle, Nando's and Skittles.

    The embattled Chancellor should now take a leaf from the Boris playbook for aspiring leaders.

    Asked the price of a loaf of bread, he said: 'I can tell you the price of a bottle of champagne, how about that?'

    Voters don't dislike politicians who are different; they dislike those pretending to be what they are not. "

    Nando's!? Jimmy Page goes to Nando's.

    I’m still hearing from those in the know that a fair few of the lorries returning to Europe are going back empty as the paperwork required to “re-load” in the UK is still causing unnecessary delays.

    Boris Johnson is the first world leader to visit Ukraine. What a guy. Pointless having the next election, now.

    But the local councillor for the EU was in Ukraine the day before. I think she cocked up as she was going to commie land to buy gas

    I would question World Leader. Rather a small country off the west coast of Europe.

    They were there first. Boris didn't even make the podium.

    He's the first self serving ****er, to visit the Ukraine, I'll give him that.

    Have the Frogs and Nazis (basically the EU) done anything yet about the imported Russian Oil. And have the Nazis done anything yet also about the imported Russian Gas. Self serving ****s <laugh>

    He's also the first world leader. He's being praised from everybody around the world apart from the good folk of NOT606.

    If the EU ever becomes a nation where the leader is elected by the people then you may be right to call them a world leader.
