It is becoming increasingly tiresome. It’s the reason most people avoid the politics forum as there are so many posters with polarised views.

Oh grow up. Basically you are saying now is not the time. We have a PM who has been personally enriched by Putin, a party who have stayed in power, in part, due to Russian funding and we have Baron Lebedev, of Hampton in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames and of Siberia in the Russian Federation sitting in the lords.
I don't think it is polarised to point out the above or give honourable mention to the Conservative Friends of Russia "think tank".
It is also reasonable to point out that people who said in 2016 that Putin was publically and secretly backing Trump and Brexit as a means to destabilise the West and that Brexit risked the 70 year peace Europe had enjoyed since 1945 were ridiculed.

Why are we laughing at normal Russian folk? You do know that ‘Russians’ aren’t the enemy don’t you? Maybe pause the Rocky box set for a little while ;)

laughing at putin. this is on him. russians hopefully will direct their frustration and anger at him and his cronies. appreciate that it doesn't come across like that. i've posted on this thread about russian prisoners and steps taken to help their families find out about their situation.

If you ever think you can't make a difference, then look at this lad Zelinski. Likely no saint, Malcolm X, Churchill weren't either, but it isn';t morality at question..but courage at the right moment that counts.

No doubt like a few others, I don't particularly a shite about Boris as all our politicians are usually twats in some way so I don't need to read owt further. Like I said earlier, many will be reading this thread for updates about what's happening in Ukraine and not really finding the Boris/Tory or whatever else bashing/bickering posts that helpful. If I did want to know more then I'd look in the Johnson thread.

I wasn't talking about your posts and hadn't even noticed anything you'd posted anyway as it was mainly stuff from earlier. I can't be arsed any more as it's late and hopefully when I come back tomorrow I won't see that Russia has bombed the shit out of Kiev and instead will see the same old crap about Boris again as nowt much is happening and the end of the war is nearer ;)
