Do people actually listen to her ?!! 😂 Joking apart I presume this related to Truss not objecting to Uk citizens joining the International Brigade to fight in Ukraine. Unwise/naive comments as it might encourage amateurs going over as freedom fighters and also gives Russia some ammunition when...

Agree with this but I also understand where Pete is coming from, there might have to be some kind of ‘get out’ for Putin.

Mix of good and scary news at the moment. Scary for us here is obviously the threat of nuclear war (although you’d hope someone would take care of Putin before that, especially as Russia aren’t being directly threatened). The good being the unbelievable resistance in some parts of Ukraine…what...

Yeah, this view was shared on someone’s Twitter post last week. I don’t think Putin expected the resistance he’s faced but they appear to have a near endless supply of troops he’s willing to send to their deaths. Disgraceful and will hopefully lead to continued backlashes back in Russia

I was expecting western governments to consider doing this. Getting some real news playing on the propaganda channels

I’ve just said I’d be disgusted if people are stopped from joining their relatives My understanding is that Ukrainians can join relatives in the Uk ? I’m wondering if the insensitive border agency official quoted in the article is the issue

Ridiculous comment/tweet

The government aren’t covering themselves in glory but it doesn’t appear as bad as some are suggest and expected to improve further https://amp.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/feb/27/uk-expected-ease-visa-restrictions-ukrainians-fleeing-war ps I’d personally be disgusted if they are stopping...

Yeah, there have been unnecessary divisions between western nations and culturally within countries. All of which appear relatively minor in the grand scheme of things when stuff like this happens.

So, Putins actions so far have… Brought the west/nato strongly together for the first time in years Brought significant economic sanctions onto his own country, himself and his cronies Encouraged Germany to drop their long standing rule to not supply lethal weapons to countries Accelerated...

If he does it possibly WW3 so let’s hope he doesn’t

Fingers crossed but hopefully not to give Putin anything substantive. If Ukraine decide to say they have no intention of joining nato then fair enough (no lifetime commitments though as the world can change very quickly as we have seen !) but they can’t commit any more than that. I’m not sure...

Yeah, that’s what I was saying earlier in the thread Rob, rounds two and three were all scored in favour of Taylor despite everyone else, compubox, analysts and probably even Taylor thinking he’d lost them…or at least one of them. I’m used to dodgy scoring but those rounds really stand out. Fair...

For those interested. Compubox always has its knockers but clear total numbers (jabs and power punches)

I never rewatch fights straight away to reassess my view but replay has just come on and I’m still livid so I thought I’d rewatch and try to score second and third rounds (which all judges gave to Taylor) without sky sound on. Even being sympathetic to taylor and giving him all the 50/50 clean...

Even Taylor admitted he struggled earlier yet all three gave him rounds two and three….dodgy as fuck !

Just watched. Awful decision. Taylor deluded and the 114-111 is bizarre Also Taylor will move up so Catterall won’t get rematch. Robbed of a chance to become undisputed…those opportunities rarely/never happen. Gutted for him

Although these steps might not seem significant in the grand scheme of things it will hopefully send a message to the Russian people that what’s happening is not accepted by countries across Europe Putin obviously didn’t spend his lockdown binge watching Netflix…maybe he should’ve, Winter on...

I heard the first night protests happened in other cities. It would be great if they could converge on one city to make a massive statement…I’m saying that from the comfort of my own home though

Agree, very, very sad, but unfortunately I think it’s one of the only ways this ends well from Ukraine/the wests perspective ie Ukraine holding off and killing a lot of Russians. I feel awful saying that for the reasons you’ve highlighted, a lot are young kids FFS and have been unnecessarily...
