Spot on - though I had to Google it, my Finnish is a little rusty. 😁

Despite the claims, I wonder if we might be able to do a little better on the military aid front too...

Completely agree, which says an awful lot about the moral abyss football has fallen into. If only the game had some kind of governing body who could make a stand on it, some sort of test for fit and proper ownership... Who knows, CD, maybe this will start the changes required, but I won't...

All valid points, and I hope that when the dust settles here we'll start to look again at how we use our influence in the rest of the world so that no one else has to live through this. Like you though, I'm at the point where I think it's time to push back a bit and see what appetite Putin...

Are you actually over there at the moment, mate?

... Just saying. 😁

SISU is a brilliant word in Finnish, no argument there. Whether the company of the same name who own us, deserve to be associated with it, is a whole different matter. Do the Finns have a word for "Reckless hedge fund who aren't very good at winning court cases against incompetent councils"...

I get the arguments about not escalating the conflict, I really do, but it's very hard not to feel in some way complicit in this. There's no legitimacy to attacking a children's hospital, at what point do you have to say 'enough'. Maybe we need to play Putin at his own game, offer as much...

The current lot make John Major look like Abraham Lincoln and Thatcher look like Mother Theresa. I don't think they're even real Tories, they're basically the slightly more polite but equally stupid wing of UKIP.

According to official figures, Ukrainian farmers are now the world's fifth largest armed force.

The pilots would like the planes back when you're done with them, please. 😁

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.
