And it gets worse. I hesitate to make a joke because the situation created by this dictator is so serious. The fact that millions of Russians believe this man is beyond words except that we have Boris Johnson and half of the USA believes Trump.
I think Russia produced one of the great men of the 20th century in Gorbachev, unfortunately it appears to be in Russian genes to need a dictator so they also produce the worst man of the 21st century so far. Can it get any worse?

Would now be a bad time to mention that Gorbachev has a largely Ukrainian background?

Got a rise in Feb which equates to £29.25 per week, first for two years though.
I've no issue with anyone getting a better payrise or better pay tbh.
Just pisses me off that as a public sector worker that we get screwed on our pensions and pay every year since the millennium and still get told that we expect too much...from politicians who grab every expense claim possible.

Tbh I wouldn't mind if I got this if the money not given to us went to those who have to use food banks etc...at least it ain't going to already minted mo fos <grr>
