They are all Psychopaths, Johnson, Putin, the Ukraine leader, and many more, and as usual its ordinary people who pay the price. Mind you its ordinary people who time and time again elect these monsters, the gullible fools.

Sorry what? People are trying to flee war and they are not allowing them on the trains or cross the borders cause they are black. It’s f***ing disgusting no matter what country it happens in.

It looks like some people arguing on a train platform. Is it because they are black and being denied access. Or do they have the wrong tickets? When was it filmed?

Perhaps it was filmed in Paris du Nord yesterday and those are UK Home office officials telling them they can’t get on the trains because they don’t have visas.

1/2 German NTV news mentioned that Putin might hold a speech today. He's obviously backed into a corner which means he could threaten the West with everything he's got - nuclear intervention included. Possibly a prelude to a great and desperate offensive before West's arms arrive

2/2 Last night's larger offensive does not seem to have achieved any remarkable goals for Russia. The speech might be an attempt to get Zelensky into Minsk to "negotiate" through intimidation, we'll have to wait and see. Zelensky will certainly deny this offfer to meet in Minsk

You are right, racism is terrible but what I think people are referring to is that Ukraine have said men of fighting age cannot leave.

The video doesn't show many women or children or oaps, I suspect that's why they cannot leave rather than the colour of their skin.

I also suspect that that person is spreading propaganda for Putin. The south Africans and Russians are hardly a beacon of racial tolerance.

There’s loads loads more in that thread itself. There are videos of African people at the polish border being refused entry. There’s more videos at the train station where it’s just African families including children have been left behind and abandoned. It’s happening. People can ignore it and try and justify it if it doesn’t fit their agenda but the racism there is rife and upsetting when these people will be just as scared as everyone else.

White people can’t get on trains either.

And you know what, even if it does show what he says it shows, the fact that the original tweet is saying that’s full justification for Putin levelling Ukraine and wading in is utterly contemptible, and quite obviously propaganda.

we were at wigan yesterday and despite it being a great day out it was always at the back of my mind what is happening over there.
been catching up on the news what the latest developments are and the removal from the russians from the swift banking system is the most important one for me. hopefully it's a way to stop this with less bloodshed.
i know some posters on here had reservations but imo it's something that should've happened a while ago.
 
Looks like the Russians entered Kharkiv into an ambush. Walking around the street in the open in light vehicles before the Ukrainians took them out

I don't condone any form of rasism but propaganda is going to be running high from both sides. The first video doesn't show black women, children and oaps being left, just men of fighting age, which Ukraine have already said cannot leave.

The second videos don't show any trains leaving at all, just people waiting at platforms. For all we know the same could have happened on the next train.

Unbelievable how well the Ukrainians have organised themselves and defended against overwhelming odds. Balls the size of King Kong and that includes the women.

Not bad for a shit inferior race eh, Putin?
