There’s very few if any countries that aren’t joined to other nations in some way. The 2 countries that I can think of that are probably least “joined” to other nations are North Korea and Iran. It’s not exactly something to aspire too is it. Maybe it’s people like you that are the problem with...

On the wages you have to consider that against inflation. Our inflation rate is still double the EU average and food inflation is around 9%, over double the EU average. Brexit was supposed to deliver higher wages and lower food prices. Neither are true either when compared to our own historic...

We had elected members in the European Parliament and a veto. Most notably we vetoed (along with Denmark) ever committing to joining the Euro for example. Even then there’s the example of Sweden who didn’t use their veto to block joining the euro but did then go on to hold a national referendum...

Sends shivers down my spine just watching it. Some of the old Fred Dibna footage of him tying ladders to chimneys including overhangs and scaling them tens if not hundreds of feet in the air do the same.

The Express ran a story the other week celebrating the agreement to extend zero tariffs on imports and exports of electric vehicles to and from the UK/EU as a brexit win. Right up until last week all electric vehicles sales were going to be subject to 10% import duty come the 1st of January. Not...

His farewell statement is comedy gold. He’s decided to take a break from football and 13 weeks wasn’t long enough to make the changes needed. A) you’re shit and it’s amazing that you got the gig in the first place B) they were 6th when Eustace was sacked, the only changes he’s implemented is...

Was thinking something sad, like the closing music from The Hulk TV series from when I was a kid. More mainstream was thinking Velvet Morning by the Verve or maybe Monkeys gone to Heaven by the pixies

Yeah but what about those pints of wine.

You’ve simultaneously made the best argument that anyone has made on here for Ukraine joining NATO while ignoring the fact that it’s been our legally binding international commitment since 1994 to support Ukraine in defence of itself so in actuality it has everything to do with us.

I think if you’d watched the full unedited video before posting that you wouldn’t have posted that in the first place. That video has been heavily edited from two separate answers from two separate questions to make it look like Ambassador Chalyi said something he didn’t. For instance the first...

I see Russia is now fining and locking up celebrities for holding parties with the fines going directly to the “defend the fatherland” fund to supply the “special operation” in Ukraine. Maybe the reports of Russia running out of money are correct. I bet Putin and his cronies aren’t tapping into...

Not sure what point you’re trying to make there. Russia has been trying to take this town since 2014 for one road, they’ve taken it (allegedly, Ukraine now reporting it’s still fighting there) a mere 9 years later with great losses in terms of hardware and personnel while taking heavy losses...

It sounds like Russia had to throw everything at it to achieve it though for a minimal gain. The town is a destroyed ghost town. The Russians were desperate to get it back because it has a key road for resupplying its front lines. Although in the last few weeks Ukraine seems to have gained...

Not sure how you see it that way. He’s clearly trying to appease a growing more daring vocal opposition in Russia. He can only put so many in prison for “extremism”. He’s losing his own support in Russia both on the street and from within his circle.

You don’t see this as a sign of weakness from Putin by his own “tough” man standards? It’s certainly a changer in his position.

Ballistics have confirmed that a gun found at Kozaks house was the weapon used to kill the father and baby daughter the other week.

I don’t spend any time in echo chamber. The story about the guy felling trees on railway lines hoping Muslims get the blame for it made the news over here and the issues with the far right have been long known especially since Russia invaded Ukraine as the far right extremists in Czech Republic...

Have they suggested a motive for the killing of the father and baby? From what I’ve read this guy had far right ideology. I know they’ve had trouble with far right terrorism in the Czech Republic including false flag attacks in the idea that Muslims will be blamed. I remember that high profile...

Yeah. Nothing confirmed but that’s the suggestion from the police apparently. I guess ballistics will confirm very quickly.
