@peterdutoit But this is true:

“The "massively expensive" public transport options in the UK and the state of the country's roads”

These both are an embarrassment, inclusive of impacting the less able more.

Russia’s combined strike on Kyiv left death and destruction.

At least eight people, including children, were killed. More than 30 injuried of varying severity, including at least five children. Russia hit many homes, residential areas and a shopping mall in the city center.

This is what Russia chooses today – not the negotiating table or a just peace, but to kill more people, destroy more homes, and exert more pressure. Instead, the greatest pressure must be exerted on Russia. Every sanction not imposed, every critical decision delayed, every hesitation comes at a devastating cost – the lives of Ukrainians. 1,282 days of Putin's mass murder of peaceful Ukrainians.

Every strike shattered another family, another home. The human cost grows with each terrorist attack. Putin's aggression must end. Russia must be stopped.

Only greater pressure on russia works with Putin’s regime.

The NHS has crumbled to almost nothing and we're arguing about flags.
The Online "Safety" Act is being used to censor war crimes and we're arguing about flags.
Utility companies are funnelling billions into shareholders pockets and we're arguing about flags.
Wages are a decade behind where they should be and we're arguing about flags.
The trains are overpriced and some of the worst in Europe and we're arguing about flags.

Fuck me the #UK isn't far behind the US now 🤦 #ukpol #ukpolitics

Denmark summons US envoy over claims of interference in Greenland | AP News

The us Regime is running russian-style active measures…in Greenland

Internal subversion campaign, IMO

This seems to be exploiting internal divisions in order to sow discord, with some vague goal that it will cause an internal “secession.” That’s a long game strategy you use when you don’t have hard power strings to pull.

💬 "It’s crucial that our partners’ support for Ukraine doesn’t decrease but instead continues and grows. Air defense, military aid, our overall resilience – all are crucial. We need funds for artillery shells and would really appreciate Europe’s support with at least five billion euros as soon as possible.

Sanctions against Russia must remain in place until it withdraws from our land and fully compensates for the damage caused by its aggression. Keep fighting against sanction evasion schemes and Russia’s attempts to finance its war effort.

Ongoing diplomatic efforts do not mean Russia should face less pressure. That’s crucial to reducing the chances of a Russian hoax. We all know how easily Moscow disregards its promises – one moment they give their word, and a few hours later it means absolutely nothing. That’s why we must keep pushing Russia toward peace." – President of #Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the meeting of the European Council 🇪🇺

#UK: "The new left-wing party in the process of being launched by #JeremyCorbyn and Zarah Sultana might lack a name, a leader and a policy platform beyond tackling “the crises in our society with a mass redistribution of wealth and power” and “campaigning for the only path to peace: a free and independent Palestine”. What it doesn’t lack is potential supporters."

It's framing like this which has made me hate the BBC and distrust it's News output.

It's the fucking Farage Roadshow most of the time, and British citizens are made to pay for it if they want the 'delight' of Broadcast programming.

If you don't pay, and they find you still looking at Broadcast they could throw you in jail, like you said 'Palestine Action' in your sleep or something..

Report: "Senior British military officers visited Israel on Elbit organised tour"

The Israeli arms firm, Elbit, is pitching for a major British army training contract. "An Elbit staff member told colleagues in internal emails that the visit by the British military officials had given the company an advantage in securing the contract."

My dumb old man's way of thinking:

Nigel (dumb shit, I'm one of the people) Farage is offering countries money to take immigrants from UK.

Other countries, if we send people to the UK, they will give us money to take the people back. Win, win for other countries.

Let's remember that immigrants/migrants are people, and one day, we might be in the same BOAT as them.
