Which has now backfired, by his own hands. With interest.

Putin has united the West. Well, aside from the MAGA contingent in the US. Putin has single handedly expanded NATO. Putin has created an environment where there’s an appetite to fast track Ukraine and others into the EU thus expanding the EU. His key objectives were stated as the opposite of...

Sorry. Did you say in the ground or on the ground?

Nothing to see here. It’s just the quaintness of war https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-68338550

5% year on year off growth is hardly minor. Especially when it comes to servicing debt and therefore investment in infrastructure and services. Under the current fiscal rules that is. We failed to grow the economy due to austerity and now we’ve taken another political decision to not just cut...

Sounds like I got lucky with it. Still coughing shit up 2 weeks later and it’s still irritating my asthma but compared to some of here not bad at all. The wife was bad but is now recovering following a course of antibiotics and unfortunately a family get together turned out to be a super...

You forgot Brexit ;) 5% of our GDP year in year out apparently.

Promotion. As great as it would be to win the FA Cup again it just doesn’t have the same prestige it used to have.

I did see some MAGA commentator compare Trump to Navalny.

Trump loses bigly. Again.

The DUP like to use it. But they also don’t believe same sex couples don’t have the right to marriage, some of them at least believe the earth is flat, they believe dinosaurs are a hoax and they don’t believe women have the right to ownership over their own bodies. Not exactly good company to be in.

What hypocrisy? I think the Irish were right to fight the English for independence. Are you saying that the Irish were wrong? What are you basing your assumption on that’s the majority of people in the annexed by force areas of Ukraine want to be part of Russia other than some sham elections...

Don’t you like to refer to the GFA as the surrender act? If you’re looking for ridiculous you’re it.

I haven’t excused anything in Ireland. You’re seriously conflating 400 years of history between the UK and Ireland with Putin invading another country in the 21st century. Even what happened 100 years ago took 300 years to get to that point. We’re supposed to be living in different times and if...

I’m not sure where the Hypocrisy is. You’re comparing apples with oranges and the only possible justification you can come up with for saying it’s hypocrisy involves swallowing Russian propaganda hook line and sinker.

I’m not sure that’s how it works. Do you want/expect Italy to be part of Ireland or the UK just because you’ve settled there?

And you know that how? There’s zero evidence that the majority want that in those areas unless you’re prepared to take Russian organised elections after the initial invasion as gospel and I seriously doubt that you’re silly enough to do that.

Ha ha ha. I knew you were going to say that. The big difference of course is the majority of the population in Northern Ireland see themselves as British and as part of the agreement of the creation of Northern Ireland and the Free State of Ireland is that Northern Ireland remains sovereign...
