Hoping I only qualify for the dad's army homeguard with my bad knee and wonky brain

Stupid boy

 

[alicante mackem]

You said his assessment that the "USA and the UK are pouring oil on the fire" was correct

I think they have. I at no point said they started the fire.

I was reading years ago about how to deal with dictators and sanctions on sports is apparently quite an effective thing in turning their own people against them.

Ban Russian football teams from UEFA competitions

Nowadays the dictators just buy a football team to whitewash their murderous actions

There is nothing which can’t be made worse by having a conversation with Boris Johnson.

No, the Russians started the fire

I always thought Johnson would fck up Britain but I never thought he’d be able to fck the whole world

Disagree - additional invites to office parties?

Fair comment

Of course the Russians started the fire. I just found it bizzare that as Europe stands on the verge of war. A hatred of Jeremy Corbyn was one of the first thoughts on someone's mind.

I used to like a bit Billy, and I still love the Piano Man.

The problem is his speech goes beyond Ukraine and is a direct threat to the Baltic states in NATO.

Exactly. In fact it’s a world threat. This could get very bad, very quick. Not much faith in our talentless, corporate owned politicians pulling a rabbit out the hat.

Bendy bananas though.

Who?
That failed politician... who gives a fck what he says man...

All we can hope for is Putin to have been playing games all along and he doesn't invade

thats the problem for me, we live in dangerous times and we couldn't have a worse set of politicians and leaders ' batting' for us.

 

[southstander]

Johnson can barely string a sentence together when asked about it and without having the benefit of a briefing. Looks bewildered.

He’s confused how Putin can support him with dirty money and helping with a referendum one minute then turn on him like this.

I agree. But why are you telling me?

 

[Shandy drinker]

Johnson using all his gravitas gained as foreign secretary

True except they aren’t batting for anyone but themselves.
