I was going to point out that tbf you still have to check things are as they claim to be, but am no longer sure if such a claim makes me a dribbling Europhile, or a rabid Brexit-loony.

Why when they say in the future they will reduce its dependancy they present it as bloc? Can’t have it both ways live with it

It's strange that you were "deeply disturbed" about people politicising the situation against "Mr Johnson", yet will shamefully spin stuff for a bit of EU bashing.

Got friends in UK who have raised over 50k plus vans loads of goods. Supposed to have left in a convoy last weekend but have had to repack everything into boxes by country of origin to get through customs. Going to be double the work when they get to Poland sorting it back into what supplies actualy need grouping together etc.

Unless this has changed since the last few days they also aren't waiving fees on aid being sent out which means a decent chunk of cash is going on that instead of much needed aid.

Now that one I can certainly get behind as out of order!

Playing the ethically sound Newcastle at the weekend

Disgraceful that the Premier league allowed the Saudis to take over at Newcastle. It's almost like they don't learn.

Was interesting that Amanda Staveley was the first to oppose any action against Abramovic.

So the eu isn’t a bloc and acts as independent countries regarding Russia but claims as a bloc it will reduce it

EU to reduce Russia energy dependency – DW – 03/08/2022

The European Union aims to cut its gas dependency on Russia by two-thirds this year, while committing to ending it entirely by 2030. Energy imports from Russia have come into sharp focus in the West in recent days.

Good grief.

You voted for this. Own it.

Anyway, it's not the thread for Brexit arguments so I'll leave it there.

no I was responding to @PVA who was claiming border control is somehow the uk fault.

He blatantly attempts to politicise. The other day he presented a graph on sanctioning indivisuals and quotes the eu as a measure against the uk. So if that’s the game it’s the game

The Russian Embassy have now been deleted off Twitter for 'violation of rules'.

so you are saying a reason we shouldn’t have brexit is because we can’t be allowed to ship aid to Ukraine as the eu are totally ethically within their rights to make this difficult

well that’s really interesting

It's bureaucracy that is a result of Brexit, unfortunately.

They are still there, the tweet isn't

Hungary gets a special price but are committed to reducing Russian gas - by letting the Russians build them a new nuclear power reactor for 15 billion and 10 billion of that is a Russian state loan !!!

Oh, my bad. I tried to find them a minute ago and the handle didn't work.

Maybe they were briefly suspended while the tweet was deleted or something. Fuck knows.

could the eu waive it yes or no

 

[Sick Boy]

could the eu waive it yes or no

I'd be more concerned about what's going on with refugees at the UK border, personally.

I am not an expert in customs, surprisingly enough.

Chelsea fans currently chasing their new team I guess.

Sanctions will do fuck all but still great to see a "super club" in the shit.

Will it go both ways, IE no chance of getting JCS or future loans from them if there's no outgoings either apart from out of contract players? Also if there are still loans out allowed, they might be less likely to let them go now.

More chance as he is out of contract

You would have thought the EU would have waived restrictions but the Brexit obsession continues with Macron and his sad cronies

The EU does wave restrictions. They won’t have all this BS crossing borders in the EU.

 

[skybluetony176]

The EU doesn't buy gas as a bloc.

There is a European consortium that buys energy as a bloc which is what I think Grendull is actually referring too. Consists of more than EU and EEA countries also but obviously it suits certain viewpoints to make out its the EU in isolation.

US intelligence suggests that chemical weapon attacks are now imminent

Our IRA friend will be fine in his balaclava. Fingers crossed.

You really can’t be that stupid. Then again…

And to think I was jumped on when I suggested in the first few days of the invasion that the Russian army was shit. We sorry lads they fucking are shit.

 

[PVA]

The amount of money's worth of equipment the Russians have just abandoned, nevermind the stuff that's been destroyed, is absolutely incredibly

Nothing compared to what the Americans and we left in Afghanistan

That is after a long time of conflict though in fairness, this has barely been two weeks.

I still feel cautious about the media coverage, but it does seem that the Russians are having a much harder time of it than we all expected, for whatever reasons they may be.

 

[PVA]

Yeah but the Russians have only been in Ukraine for a few weeks.

You should know your seeing it first hand aren’t you? Is Gerry with you? Bet the old terrorist beardy twat is feeling the chill

 

[skybluetony176]

Don’t think we left much at all. Most of the equipment out there that the Taliban inherited was owned by the the Afghanistan government.

Wonder if Robins went strolling in the woods if he might find a ten goals a season midfielder?
