There is precisely zero evidence for this, it feels dangerously close to the classic 'snowflake generation' argument. Who knows what would happen in the unlikely scenario you suggest. There was little appetite for war in 1939, that generation had suffered enough in the previous war, but guess...

What a ridiculous statement, this has to get shoehorn of the year award. If western society is so biased against white men, why the fucking hell are we doing better in it than every single other ethnic group? This right wing bullshit that anyone standing up for racial equality hates white...

The evacuation corridors offered by Russia are another pathetic sham, already disowned by the Ukrainian president. What Ukrainian is going to want to escape to Russia, or Russia's puppet?!

In the meantime, 1.2 million Ukrainian refugees in Europe. Total number of visas issued so far in the UK? 50. Incompetence, deliberate policy, an utter lack of humanity, you tell me? I'm sorry if you voted Tory, but this government is genuinely disgusting.

There's obviously no specific rule about sending planes. In fact I'm not aware of any treaty whatsoever regarding what we can and can't send to Ukraine, and even if there was I don't think any agreement survives Russia's invasion. Obviously Putin won't be happy, but I think we're a bit beyond...

Less than 10 minutes, Russian, more than ten minutes, actual.

Agree entirely. There's some interesting stuff hereabouts, I will strive not to derail it with petty arguments - that's for the football threads. 😁

Erm, technically, I think you started it by banging on about someone using a real actual word that is in the dictionary. Anyway mate, apologies, I was a bit rude before which was uncalled for, but honestly 'nuance' does have a meaning. If it was literally meaningless then no one would use it...

My inner child is trying to make me insert the word 'nuance' into every posting from now on. Must resist. 😄

Good Lord no, that would be uncivilised. It tips them silently into the shark infested pool beneath.

I was almost too polite to point out the obvious typos in his post, or the excessive use of emojis to try to make a point too, which always feels a bit childish to me. In truth though, who really cares about someone's writing style or spelling on a football forum. Just a bit odd, frankly, so...

That is such a weird opinion. I'm sorry if the English language upsets you, but you know what, there are lots of different words that mean similar things - who made you the dictionary police? Just because you don't understand it doesn't make it pretentious. I could just as well say you're...

You don't need a tinfoil hat mate. We've done some good things without doubt, but it's obvious we're miles behind the EU in applying sanctions. We're also not exactly making it easy for refugees from the conflict to come here. You can debate the reasons why that might be, but the facts...

You'd have to imagine it's reasonably well defended, but even if they're not being picked off on an occasional basis it's got to impact morale and efficiency. Not much food, not much water, always cold and nowhere comfortable to sleep. And most of all, not moving forward. That's going to wear...

It's remarkable isn't it. The party of law & order and flag-waving patriotism, literally funded by Putin's rich mates. This, whilst there's an actual shooting war in Europe, started by Putin himself.

Even the Financial Times is reporting on the Conservative Party's ongoing issue with Russian donations. How can anyone not be genuinely suspicious about this level of funding to the Tory party and the apparent slowness of our application of sanctions...

The main difference between Thatcher and Boris, of course, being that she wasn't ever considered a security risk by members of her own government. https://www.businessinsider.com/boris-johnson-access-to-state-secrets-was-restricted-when-he-was-foreign-secretary-2019-7

Yawn. Give it a rest now old chap. Do you remember when you PM'd me for help on something, and I offered to help. Then, you were respectful, now you're being a total prick. What do you get out of this? Actually, don't answer, because no one else cares and this needs to stop because it's...

I'm afraid I've got to disagree with you there, here's the dictionary definition of 'nuance': a subtle difference in or shade of meaning, expression, or sound. Maybe it's a bit too 'subtle' a word for you, but it definitely has meaning. 🙂

Try harder mate, you've not even read it. If you weren't such a ignorant arsehole you'd see that it's actually making some of the points you've been trying to make, but using coherent language. Again though, please fuck off, you're boring us all now.
