I was in hospital yesterday waiting for a routine test and spent half an hour with a South African guy telling me about the corruption over there in the ANC...and telling me they are in deep with Putin at the top... kick backs etc etc..... . and how a Russian ship secretly arrived at a naval base a few weeks back and filled up with ????? via floodlights over night and then departed.... but a lot of locals saw it and filmed it on their phones . S Africa is a major arms manufacturer ............ANC playing a double game...and very worried abouy Putin being toppled.
No surprise I suppose - the Soviet Union actively supported the ANC during the apartheid sanctions.

Yes.......When they were a so called socialist/communist regime.... with supposed similar ideologies
Problem is S Africa purports to be aligned with the west but the ANC, so different from its original ethos.... cultivates money schemes with Russia today..

Home of Cyril Ramaphosa was burgled by four burglars....and they found $5 million US stuffed in sofas etc...... they fled with it to a neighbouring country ... and S Africa secret service had them brought back.... all under the radar.... but someone snitched and Ramaphosa has had to explain how he got this dosh.....
 
Don't mess with me seems to be the message from Putin. Reports that the private jet of Yevgeny Prigozhin was shot down by a Russian missile, and all people on board killed.

I was ready to believe it but it all seems too easy. Apparantly there was a 2nd plane behind the one he was registered to fly on that turned around after the crash...

Fingers crossed he's gone, he was a vile human being.

I would hardly describe him as a human being. An animal would be more accurate.
 
Sorry but I find animals better than humans, particularly the one referred to. Why is animal a derogatory term?
Generally yes, but not always. The smallholding behind my house in Northants had a shed with 200 chickens in it. One night a fox dug its way in and killed all but two or three. It didn't need them all for food, just killing for the sake of killing.

This is instinct Frenchie, when this happens the chickens panic and run in all directions and the fox will chase anything which runs away.

I think that's inherent to foxes. They often do this when they get in to these places.
