I wonder if there's still the same prevailing attitude in the free world to go to Ukraine and fight against injustice that there was back in the days of the Spanish Civil War.....about 40k foreigners went to fight there. That sort of number would make a huge difference.

The prevailing attitude in the Stanley Baldwin government of the time was let them rot

Maybe so but we have a Home Secretary claiming misinformation while posting a link that literally proves she’s lying, a prime minister wasting military time for a photo shoot in front of a plane that turns back (and so doesn’t deliver whatever it was supposed to deliver) and MPs telling Ukrainians that they can’t claim refuge here but they can apply to come and pick some potatoes for the summer.

Meanwhile Slovakia has on its own offered any Ukrainians sanctuary, has provided fuel, food and military supplies while also offering money to those Ukrainians who are refugees.

We’re run by a government that has at every level been compromised by Russia and this is the inevitable result.

And let’s not forget - this is the same government that wants to ban the type of protests that are currently taking place elsewhere to stop the war.

So
Helping the army out is just a maybe so? Pathetic if you ask me it’s more than a maybe so. Right now my nephew is there and all I see is slants this/slants that

Let’s tell them what they are doing is jusy a maybe so or just a not good enough.

Do I think Boris is poor yes, is he my priority now god no.

You have your threads post and opinions and on this forum it’s very cliquey with people on political sides.

Maybe we could all unite instead of moaning or maybe people who whinge about others not doing stuff can actually step up and do something

There’s plenty of other threads to clog up. Reason a hate these posts as the main cause always gets missed.

I’m supposed to applaud them sending some military assistance - literally the bare minimum they should be doing, and still less than their own MPs want them to do - with the government simultaneously telling the people suffering through this war that they aren’t welcome here unless they pick fruit? :lol:

The war is about left v right, rich v poor, not east v West.
If you get squeamish talking about politics then the politics board probably isn’t for you
