Russia would prefer not as that would be a de facto support Russia.

No one was worse than Russia in WW2 with the possible exception of the Japanese. In Berlin there’s a burial ground that has 5000 dead Russian soldiers in it, there’s a big memorial in the centre of a red army soldier waving a sword while holding a child. It’s known locally as the tomb of the...

Sometimes when you’re in a hole it’s better to stop digging. You’re about 2 posts away from going yeah but what about Genghis Khan and his Mongolian horde.

Here’s the thing, no other European or Western country has ever done it on the scale Russia does and to make matters worse it’s visibly escalating in occupied Ukraine too. What you’re doing in trying to draw an equivalence is pretty grotesque to be blunt with you. I seriously think you need to...

It doesn’t need pointing out, that’s why it’s diluting it. Especially when Russia does it XL.

Especially if it’s with Russia. Nice way to dilute it though.

It must be. For starters she obviously thinks she’s still relevant and has an opinion people want to hear. She couldn’t even retain her safe seat at the GE.

I love the way you use this one as if it somehow makes me stupid and you smart when the truth is if you had have spent 5 minutes on wiki yourself you would see how stupid and inaccurate your straw man argument was in the first place.

In fact, if you look into it Russia has a bit of history of shooting down commercial airliners. They shot down a 747 travelling from Korea to the USA in 83 killing almost 300 people. Straw man arguments in attempt to justify Russia shooting down commercial airliners because they’re no worse than...

Ahh that one. From about 25 years ago when Russia had a Vichy government in Ukraine so had no interest in invading it. Wondered WTF he was going on about for a moment. Wasn’t it launched from a Russian military installation based in Ukraine? So essentially it was still the Russians.

Errr. Pakistan? Another yank in power with absolutely no idea what’s going on in the world. Perfect VP for Trump.

The Tory ban only came in last year and was essentially an election gimmick as they thought the electorate was made up of nimbys. On a wider level it was part of their phoney culture bollocks , we’ve scrapped 7 bins etc because only woke believe in climate issues. It was a cynical policy in the...

She’s an absolute lunatic. How was she ever let anywhere near government let alone the top seat. It wasn’t even a secret before she was. Mad as a box of frogs seems to have been a label that’s followed her around her whole life.

Raising the threshold is an excellent and easy way of closing the inequality gap. I’d say that’s very left wing. The spending cuts were always coming under a Tory government, the raising of the tax threshold wasn’t. Lib Dem’s made that happen. Happy to be corrected but my memory was the triple...

For a socialist to be concentrating on that as the crux of your argument is a weird one. I would have thought that raising the tax threshold to £10k would have rang your bell. Wasn’t it the Lib Dem’s that got the triple lock through on pensions too? 2 very left wing policies that otherwise...

India, especially Modi will lay in bed with anyone. Modi has just invited Starmer to India. It doesn’t mean that the pendulum has suddenly swung back the other way again. It’s just Modi laying in bed with anyone. All he’s interested in growing India into the biggest economy in the world because...

Not compared to the anti reform vote. 95% of the country didn’t vote for them.

Not sure about that but I do remember that they got their pledge to raise the tax threshold to £10k implemented making everyone noticeably better off in their pockets overnight, especially if you were on a lower income. Think I’m right in saying that it was the single biggest ever jump.

Could have been worse, could have been the Tories with no one sitting on their shoulder whispering in their ear. I dread to think how much harder and faster they would have gone on austerity had they not been in coalition with the Lib Dem’s. It was the best possible outcome for the country if...

I did grendull.
