That's the case for Indians trying to get into Poland, I have direct examples of it happening.

Likewise!
Sorry but I think he was spot on. In circumstances like this you can’t respond to individuals -Johnson has made the Uk look like a bunch of dickheads well done mate
OOOSH YEAH

Was absolutely always going to happen. They’ll be given the choice of an old local nana or some young African student.
And I don’t have a clue what he’s on about.
OOOSH YEAH
Striker
That’s it. I’ve just seen shit loads of 20 somethings being held back while old biddies are shipped out. The truth as always will be somewhere in the middle

The Indian lady being interviewed said one of her companions was knocked unconscious.

There's been some pretty shit stuff happening to black and Indian people trying to leave. Probably not a great time to be on the TV making some political point about it, but it must be absolutely f***ing shite for those trying to leave to be discriminated against
OOOSH YEAH

I’ve just seen that Tory MP Adam Holloway has travelled to Ukraine.
What the fuck has he done that for?
What the fuck has he done that for?
OOOSH YEAH

Definitely. Thought about that situation a lot and none Ukraine Nationals will be back of the queue no doubt. Let’s face it if this country had to scarper it would probably happen here as well.

The first casualty, when war comes, is truth.
OOOSH YEAH

Of course. I think it’s always best to seek out lots of different sources to see a common denominator then apply a bit of logic and that’s about as close as you’ll get to the truth.

Targeting the TV transmitter in Kyiv, which is right next to Babi Yar and its many memorials.

Are we talking about Ukrainians in general or people who happen to be in Ukraine?
For reference, this is the ethnic breakdown of Ukraine
Roughly 77.5% of Ukraine's population identify as ethnic Ukrainians. The second largest nationality group are Russians, accounting for 17.2% of the population. Other significantly represented nationalities include Romanians, Belorussians, Crimean Tatars, Bulgarians, Hungarians, Poles, Jews, and Armenians.
As it happens on BBC news last night I saw them interview a UK Doctor who was trying to get back, I believe he was of Moroccan heritage, although I could do with trying to check that. Either way, in terms of the above point, he wasn't white.
They also interviewed a group of Indian students.

Dunno. Seems odd for a sitting mp to head off to a war zone.
He has a military background though. Was in the first gulf war and weirdly spent a gap year with the afghans during the soviet occupation.
He may be forming a platoon with Marc François as his sergeant.

Well technically if Trump and Putin were still both in post. Trump has always been unpredictable but took a liking to Putin. However Putin has apparently changed recently so having the two as leaders during this would have been far more inflammatory then Biden.

I've just read the story, No.10 aren't too happy. Perhaps he's a divvy?
OOOSH YEAH

He meant those currently trying to leave. He was complaining that the coverage was bias toward white people. I had a quick look and there are very very few none whites living there however I’ve seen lots of reports of how they’re struggling.
