    Cadwalladr's 'win' over Aaron Banks is funny. It's a pretty good example of a Pyrrhic victory.

    The case effectively proved all of the allegations she made against him being in the pay of the Russians, and using the money to fund Brexit were untrue, but she wasn't to know because she's not a very good journalist. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    I wonder how France and others in the EU are keeping their fuel bills down? :emoticon-0126-nerd:

    Emmanuel Macron ‘betrays Ukraine’ as French imports of Russian gas soar

    Russia made €93 billion (£80 billion) in fossil fuel exports during the first 100 days of the war, according to a report from the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (Crea), an independent research organisation based in Finland.

    The EU in total accounted for 61 per cent of Russia’s total fossil fuel exports, worth about €57 billion (£49 billion), even as the bloc moved to reduce its dependence on Russian energy.

    France, Belgium and the Netherlands had snapped up shipments of the Kremlin’s fossil fuels at discounted prices after other buyers cut back their purchases during the conflict, Crea said.

    While Russian missiles and bombs were raining down on Ukraine in April and May, France received 12 shipments of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and other fossil fuel products worth almost €900 million (£773 million), the report showed.

    Maybe they should have diversity quotas and force ethnic minorities to attend ?

    Blacks are still only about 5-7% of the population,looking at the line up they are almost certainly over represented as artists .

    https://www.google.com/search?q=glastonbury 2022 lineup&oq=Glastonbury &aqs=chrome.3.69i57j0i131i433i512l5j0i131i433i457j0i131i433i512l2j0i271l3.5581j0j7&client=ms-android-samsung-ss&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8

    Out of that line up the only acts I'm interested in are Carl Cox , Jarvis Cocker , Herbie Hancock and Dianna Ross .
    There's a few others that are OK , fatboy slim Goldie .

    Paying £10 for a plastic cup of beer and waiting an hour to piss in a plastic box has never appealed to me

    Zelenskyy has served his purpose as a puppet funneling billions of tax payers money into arms contractors and money laundering.
    Johnson used the conflict to distract from his popularity crisis and they will all hang him out to dry .

    The Ukranian civilians won't get a penny of the money thrown at the country.

    The conflict could have been over in the first week but Nato forced Zelenskyy to string it out as long as possible.

    EUROPEAN UNION countries can't really live without Russian fuel and will keep buying from them after the dust settles .

    SNP accused of 'covering up' sexual misconduct to protect Patrick Grady

    A report revealed that Ian Blakford "ambushed" the complainant in 2018, before they made the formal complaint.

    Patrick Grady, a former party chief whip, was found to have broken conduct rules after a drunk "unwanted sexual advance" towards a junior member of staff at a pub in 2016. He is now facing calls to resign from across the political aisle in Scotland.

    An investigation by Parliament’s complaints scheme, published on Tuesday, recommended that he should be suspended from the Commons for two days.

    Mr Blackford allegedly took the staffer for an "impromptu meeting", who did not know that Mr Grady would be present.

    The complainant said they felt intimidated into accepting an apology from Mr Grady when in a room with "two people who had so much influence" over their career, according to the report.
