I have a solution to the planes issue, now that the US has backed out. Poland: A number of our MIGs seem to have gone missing. It seems the pilots had a big party at an an airbase near the Ukrainian border and left the keys in them whilst they were parked. Sue Gray will release a full report...

Just saw that too. If we're not going to go in directly though, we've surely got to give them everything we can. It's not as though anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons are purely defensive tools. For all his bluster, I can't see Putin hitting the big red button over this - we've got to keep...

Certainly sir, that'll be £12.50 and a twenty minute wait, please...

Eight million possible combinations of coffee, and that's not including what kind of sweetener you want in it. It's easier to be a Barrister than a Barista. Jar, spoon, milk, sugar, boiling water, ta.

There are perks to being married now? Was that just brought in recently, I seem to have missed it. 😁

In fairness, I'd argue that what you need is a real desire to sort it out from the leadership. How long would it actually take to set up an office in Calais and staff it with a dozen people who know what they're doing? Check and scan passport, take fingerprints, issue emergency visa. Next! If...

Fuck all to do with wokery, and if you have to result to bullying your staff and screaming and swearing at them, then you're a shit manager, frankly and ought to be out on your ear. Priti Patel is a frightening combination of incompetent and uncaring. Don't blame the people under her for this...

If they were any more incompetent they could apply for a job as home secretary.

Fair play to you for that attitude. For me, he's just not worth the bother.

You're going to get that response because it's so ridiculously easy to show that 'society' doesn't hate white men. Or have you got some evidence you'd care to share that it does? If so, please share...

That's exactly what he does. My enjoyment of this forum has increased immeasurably since I put him on 'ignore'. There are people who honestly hold different opinions, and there are people who are just on the wind up. It's a waste of time engaging, it's like the old 'wrestling a pig' thing, you...

I get your point entirely, but as any pub bore will tell you, the last successful occupation here was 1066 (edit: and we were still up for the odd scrap). Of course, there's no need to fight to overcome democracy in Britain now, just remember to bring your cheque book. 🙂

Apparently, watching those sort of videos will make you go blind. I asked if I could just do it until I needed glasses. 😄

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.
