I would have to agree Sb. While the images are upsetting it is the reality of war - the death and the destruction to peoples lives and homes is reality. A reality that no-one in their right mind wants. For me there is too much on the refugee situation (and they all have my complete sympathy, it is heartbreaking to see families separated as fathers and sons stay to fight and wives and children are refugees). We are seeing very little to understand the level of fighting and it is extremely hard to gauge how well/badly either the Russians or Ukrainians are really doing. I’m sure those with a need to know do know; but I’m blind to where these armies actually stand (against each other) apart from the continuously regurgitated video snaps.
It has been proven, by an independent inquiry. "A serial bully and liar". No words minced there. 21 complaints upheld. Let's hope he disappears from public life forever, along with Prince Andrew
If there's prima facie evidence of bulling staff by Patel, that should be formally investigated too. There's no place for bullying in modern society.
She was investigated and found guilty by a Cabinet Office enquiry. Johnson ignored it. Still at least they got that 'Remainer' Bercow, eh?
A subsequent judicial review brought by the civil servants union found that Boris acted properly and had not broken the ministerial code.
She’s been sacked for being a corrupt **** enough times and now she’s the actual ****ing Home Secretary purely for her appeal to racist simpletons.
You forgot Georgia. We have let him get away with the same tactics - bomb civilians to **** - so often that it’s no surprise he thinks he’ll get away with it again…. I think the fact that it’s Europe might make a difference, more so the sense of direct threat that we have now. I think people expect this will be over quickly, but if we look at all recent conflicts it probably won’t, it’ll be a long war of attrition, unless Putin has a stroke sharpish.
I left Georgia out because, relatively speaking, there weren't that many casualties (I checked before posting - less than 180 combatants from both sides, about 500.civilians) - still too many though. I read somewhere that he's bringing in Syrian troops who are mega experienced in door-to-door combat in built up areas, so the longevity of this war could be extended if that's the way he wants to fight it. Be one hell of a lot of body bags for his troops though, one of the most intense, gruelling types of warfare there is
Low tax Rishi strikes again. Plebs will queue up to be pissed on and told it’s raining. https://www.express.co.uk/finance/p...s-tax-CGT-Chancellor-Rishi-Sunak-April-6-HMRC
Can we put this plane supply argument to bed… the Ukrainians use the old crap Migs, which we don’t have. It’s no good sending them planes they have never used? As it is, the planes they are getting will need pilot training. We have sent loads of anti tank and ground to air missiles. That Russian equipment going up in smoke is from U.K. missiles. No politics, just facts.
You mean the hard Brexit Tory Bercow who changed allegiances because his wife told him to. Then decided to go above and beyond the call of duty as Speaker to disrupt democracy… and whilst he was doing that managed to bully several women? That John Bercow?
**** non-answer. Patel has done considerably worse than Bercow could ever dream of. Independent inquiry my arse.
You mean like trying to change the biggest democratic vote in our history ? Deluded. Stick to Partygate mate.
Another **** non-answer because you’re a hypocrite defending this government of spivs and incompetent nonces.
EU countries that still have Mig-29 fighters include Poland, Bulgaria and Slovakia, all also members of NATO. The Ukranian Air Force use Mig-29 so would be able to jump in the seat straight away. The problem is, Poland don't want to give away their planes without replacements, as this would potentially leave them vulnerable if Vlad feels he wants to grab a bit more land. They are in negotiations with the EU and NATO allies to replace their Migs with F-16s. Also, where do they fly from to get to Ukraine? And where can they land? The Russians have pretty much destroyed the airfields, and will be watching the airspace to see where the planes come from. It's quite feasible that Putin will see any aircraft flown in from Poland for Ukranian use as an act of war, thus giving him an excuse to attack further.
Interesting how you never criticise anyone other than the Tories? At least Stroller had the decency to to acknowledge that Bercow was a #### and rightly kicked out. Get back to Partygate.
