You don't live in Salisbury then. It's not just the victims who were harmed there - the entire city took a major economic hit.

Does my head in that Russia can mount an attack on British soil and there are still plenty of Britons who think Putin's been unfairly maligned.

Vladimir Putin has embarrassed Emmanuel Macron - again​

The French President's attempt to broker a deal with Russia could be doing more harm than good

It certainly looks that way given his willingness to

only to be humiliated.

The first slap came after the French president spent five hours across that endlessly long marble table in Moscow to wrench a commitment not to escalate the situation on the Ukrainian border from the Russian president. Within hours, intelligence on the ground suggested Putin had decided to ride roughshod over that pledge.

Last night, the Elysée fired off an email at 1.46am announcing that

on “security and strategic stability in Europe” as long as Russia doesn’t invade Ukraine first.



GREAT EFFORT.


Then he added, “Now I recommend you to go home and sleep quietly in your beds.” As Britain slept, the German army marched into Czechoslovakia in “peaceful conquest” of the Sudetenland. The bombers did not roar over London that night, but they would come. In March 1939, Hitler annexed the rest of Czechoslovakia, and two days after the Nazis crossed into Poland on September 1, 1939, the prime minister again spoke to the nation, but this time to solemnly call for a British declaration of war against Germany and the launch of World War II.

Eight months later, Chamberlain was forced to resign, and he was replaced by Winston Churchill.


So we await in detail these tough EU sanctions in the coming months then.

No idea at all what those have to do with sanctions. Feel free to post any other random stuff. Diplomacy failed but no harm in trying.


Meanwhile Putin will be laughing at the UK's 'sanctions'. Christ knows how many Tory MPs and Lords he has bought.

Should have been declared an act of terrorism. If it had been a Libyan or Syrian attack there would have been calls for air strikes.
