    Seeing that Gerbil Balloon News is making RT look balanced, now would be a good time to dredge this up from the archives

    Roman Abramovich and Alexander Usmanov, I'm sure everyone already know.
    Lots of the other names will be familiar to anyone paying attention to Trump and Brexit links to Russia.

    Oleg Deripaska had a home in the US raided by the FBI last year, to use one example.
    He visited Assange a lot during his embassy stay, fairly unsurprisingly.
    He also loaned Paul Manafort $10m and hosted George Osbourne and Peter Mandelson on his yacht:


    Andrey Kostin is the President and Chairman of VTB Bank.
    They guaranteed enormous loans to Donald Trump via Deutsche Bank.
    VTB is under sanctions from the US already, as is Kostin.

    I think this is the full list, which is from Alexei Navalny:

    And whilst this is funny, the reality behind the joke is depressing!

    Somebody probably needs to tell the haunted chimney that we don't have an empire to name our measures after...

    ICYMI, the latest government defence for their numerous parties is that taxpayer's money was not spent on the food or drink consumed

    Here are two ways that this defence is utterly ****ing pathetic
    i.) It leaves open one very simple, yet potentially damaging, question: So who paid for it then?
    ii.) If the defence is that all food and drink was brought in from home, then it couldn't have been a "work event" could it?

    All the while they retain a 80 majority and the Speaker and the Met in their pocket they will not care a bit.

    Sad, but true.

    Farage (& particularly) Banks are up to their necks in Putin's roubles.
    And as the Russian shells start dropping in Kyiv it worth looking at the pro-Putin rants of Trump and remembering the role that Russia played in subverting the Brexit Referendum - before also tying in the cosy relationship that Johnson had - and still has - with Trump.

    The West's interest in Ukraine is almost as self-serving as Russia's to be honest, but making a choice of sides shouldn't be tough for the UK when you see who this grubby band of brothers are supporting!

    If this is a "full scale invasion" I think they would run out of superlatives if they ever had to describe a full scale invasion. The trouble with 24 hour news is that the reporting is cranked up to 11 far too quickly. The only way this is going to succeed is if the Ukrainians don't fight. And the Russians haven't brought nearly enough troops to take Kyiv, let alone the country - providing the Ukranians put up a fight.

    My immediate thought if there is a full-scale attack, or even a skirmish, is that I hope the troops that the BBC have spent the past 2-3 days broadcasting the positions of every ****ing evening don't bear the brunt of it
