A brave man standing up to Putin. He even voluntarily returned to Russia after recovering in Germany from a failed state assassination attempt from Novichok, he would have understood his fate doing that yet still did it. RIP

Shouldn’t a population always hold those in government responsible for dealing corruption in government? Me and my principals again.

Can I just check. Am I still allowed to support Ukraine solely on the principle that a country has the right to defend itself from an invading country and regain its sovereign territory, so nothing to do with what the US or any one else says? I ask because that’s what I’ve been doing.

Wasn’t Truss too? In between shouting Maggie Maggie Maggie, out out out.

You’re talking about a man who was convinced that his army would be waved in all the way to Kyiv by cheering crowds throwing petals at feet of his army contrary to all the evidence. Always worth bearing in mind when trying to work out how Putin thinks.

I think he’s one of those guys that if you’re from the Coventry area and of a certain generation you’ve almost certainly heard of him and quite possibly know someone who knows him or know him yourself. I was put on to him by a lad I used to work with in Coventry who knew him personally as he’d...

I read Watch my Back many moons ago and really enjoyed it. Good read, especially if you’re familiar with Coventry.

On a different manifesto to the one he actually tried to implement. We’re not talking Lib Dem’s not delivering free university here. He done a complete 180, he ran on a manifesto of signing an already agreed trade deal with the EU which the vast vast majority of Ukrainians backed and instead...

It’s almost as if Putins motivation is nothing to with Nazis and everything to do with mineral wealth.

In the last Polls about 59% of US public support aid to Ukraine, only 30% outright oppose it. Even in the senate’s only about half of republicans oppose funding Ukraine in any shape, way or form and that’s the MAGA contingent whose only purpose seems to be to oppose everything. I don’t know what...

Ooo, now you’re asking. Been racking my brain to think of them all as there was that many. There was Sid the manager, yes boy. Remember Mick Jagger making a regular appearance including doing the pips at whatever o’clock it happened to be. I think Mick Jagger was done by Phil Cornwell IIRC who...

Shit. Used to love listening to him as an 18 year old van driver when he was on Radio 1. All his characters like the pretentious music journalist and the micky takes like Arnie demanding Total respray, total refund etc. Real shame.

Wasn’t true of one side after the Oslo accords were signed. One signatory lived to an old age and died a hero of his nation. The other was assassinated by terrorists from his own people for daring to strive for peace.

I like your faith in UK bureaucracy. Do you know what EU Nationals got as proof of right to stay? An email, not an official letter, not a residency card or certificate, an email. Loose that and you personally have no proof of right to stay. It also sounds like you’re too young to remember the...

Shouldn’t you be a okay up to 3.5 ton? Which is LWB transit size. Unless it’s Italy rules rather than EU. You might also have something called grandfather rights. I’m not ever going to use it but when my license changed I lost 7.5 ton allowance which was what the law was when I passed but...

It will be their own fault. Spain gave every British expat already there regardless of circumstances guaranteed residency, all they had to do was apply, Spain even extended the deadline as they knew was British expats who hadn’t applied. I was reading that there was some exceptionism amongst...

It’s more akin to the UK invading the South or Ireland and raising it to the ground to tackle the IRA.

I’m old enough to remember the Johnson era when fraud wasn’t considered a crime so they could claim crime was falling when in fact it was up 14%. A typical Tory tale of too little too late.
