    USSR invades Ukraine.

    That for me is pretty much the only way this doesn't end badly. He has to be removed from within. But this in itself is a danger because there are probably plenty of similar minded people waiting in the wings to take over. Maybe that power vacuum would mean they'd be more concentrating on the...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Off topic, but this is another reason why I'm not a fan of increasing nuclear powerplants. People say that they're now much safer than those of the past (though IMO it's a cumulative probability that something would eventually go wrong) but then you've got to factor in complete lunatics trying...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    I've stopped trying. There are far more bad outcomes than good. You could make yourself very scared and ill thinking about it too much,

    Dear Boris

    Working class oiks of the players would be put on minimum wage where they belong so those hard working people on the board could be given the huge pay rises they rightfully deserve.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Oh, there's quite a lot of those higher up in things like TU's who I'm incredibly sceptical of their motives. But your favourite party puts exploitation front and centre of policy and window dresses it. Shit loads of money at the top. Those lower down get to scrape by while doing most of the...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    I find some of this incredibly bizarre. With Russia the old ideas of Soviet Communism are hard to shift (how long was the opinion of the German's affected post WWII), especially in the U.S. but our politicians haven't been averse to playing to that stereotype. And given Putin clearly has a fond...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I also think people who make vast sums of money off the exploitation of other people are slightly odd. And what about arable farmers?

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Well, it's a start. Once you start to question everyone's ethics. especially those of the people you laud, we might actually start getting somewhere.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    I didn't mean that they hadn't courted the idea of joining NATO, just that it hadn't happened. Putin would argue them considering it is what caused him to invade, but that's nonsense because Estonia and Latvia border Russia as well, and would likely have been much easier to take than Ukraine...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    That's infuriating. Then when it says £44k since 2018. That's £11k a year. Chicken feed. Why would you undo your entire political machinery for what is pocket change to a rich banker? Any they wonder why people have absolutely no faith in politics...

    Dear Boris

    Has Boris carried it out? He seems to want to completely renege on the 'oven ready' deal he and his team negotiated. He's appointed JRM as Minister for Brexit Opportunities, who has recently asked the public for ideas. Surely we should have known what those opportunities were before the vote...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    There might be something in there about treatment if they surrender. There would be more political capital in capturing and looking after them as well as possible to relay the message back in Russia about the reality. It's time consuming and expensive, but ultimately the right thing to do. If...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    I imagine Ukraine see their decision to give up nukes and not joining NATO as the reason they are now being invaded. Old Eastern bloc members that are in NATO haven't got a Russian invasion to deal with.

    No. I've no idea what they'll do there. They have been playing Rose ahead of him recently so maybe it's a consideration to look for someone younger, but he's played well for much of this season so could be asked to stay. It is that risk that he might just start to find it a struggle all of a...

    That was my one problem with the plan - the risk to the pilots involved.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    But bombing in front of and behind the convoy isn't bombing them. Of course Putin and his cronies would cite it as such but considering the attacks on actual Ukrainian cities, including civilian areas, it would show the aggression is all from Russia. Ukraine would have an invading army inside...

    I think he just can't officially sign anything. But he can make a gentleman's agreement. I'd love him to choose us, but I'm prepared for the fact he may well choose another option, which would mean quite a CB recruitment drive over the summer.
