    Putin must have been laughing his bits off at how easy it was – coupled with the completely lunatic decision of the krauts to turn their nuclear power stations off and he’d laid the ground easily .
    I don’t think he had to do much to weaken the UK strategic energy supply as the idiots in charge we’re happy to do it for themselves ‘ gas storage – closing power stations – not building nuclear …..
    And there is no sign of any change …. ‘

    BBC Film suggestions #2.

    Jared Eamons, the son of a Baptist pastor in a small conservative Arkansas town, comes to believe that his sexual urges are unnatural. When his parents are advised by the church’s elders to send him to undergo conversion therapy, he obediently agrees. Not permitted to discuss the therapy at the ‘Love in Action’ facility with his parents, Jared struggles with his own sense of honour and the message from those around him that he must change.

    ….

    A 23-year-old woman who is taking legal action against an NHS gender clinic says she should have been challenged more by medical staff over her decision to transition to a male as a teenager.

    A judge gave the go-ahead for a full hearing of the case against the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust.

    Lawyers will argue children cannot give informed consent to treatment delaying puberty or helping them to transition.

    The Tavistock said it always took a cautious approach to treatment.

    Gender identity charity Mermaids said that people face a long wait for access to such services, that they can save lives and that very few people regret their decision.

    “A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude.”

    A classic dystopian, science-fiction novel by English author Aldous Huxley, Brave New World has become a worldwide literary classic and a mainstay in high school English curriculums since its 1932 release.

      Short term:
      Putin takes half of Ukraine. The West belly-ache for a few years but they knew it was a gamble and behind the scenes, everything returns to normal.

      Long term:
      EU get their own army. Domination of the entire landmass becomes their long-term goal. New cold-war between Russia and the EU starts.

      Russia are what they are. Brutal and basic. The EU are the new Nazis.

        FFS Nazi has a specific meaning
        it means the people who chucked Jews and gypsies etc. into gas chambers.
        I think when people use it to describe others , they actually mean bullies.
        That’s a better word.

          I like the word Nazi because it stands for ‘a member of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party’. Leftist fascists.

          The Left need reminding of that at every opportunity. Particularly as they have deliberately changed the definition to specify ‘far-right’.

          The EU are much worse than bullies. They are ideological bullies. Those are the type who get rid of people they don’t want once they get absolute power.

              Maxi
              False equivalence there
              just cos sometimes political baddies use ambush naming to deceive people
              eg in the way non-democratic North Koreas calls itself The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea DPRK

              That doesn’t mean political baddies always use ambush naming
              Just cos Stalin called himself a man
              that doesn’t mean he’s a woman.

              (The Nazis never called themselves Nazis, as it was a derogatory term invented by their opponents from (Na)tionalSo(zi)alistische Deutsche Arbeiterparte the name they did call themselves)

              Other ambush naming
              eg Green Peace (non-green, non peaceful)
              eg Extinction rebellion (greendream CONFORMISTS to Tory/Labour Netzero goals)

              You are right Cherry Picker (aka maxi), it’s not the ‘socialism’ quality BBC Leftists like you share with Hitler the most.

              It’s the hatred, spite and absolute intolerance of those with different politcial opinions. As openly demonstrated by what people like you have done with Trump.

              It doesn’t matter what weasel words you conjure up or how many ‘definitions’ you tweak, you are walking the same road.

    Dangerous international conflicts used to be handled at high level by governments and the military. We now see every bloody organisation from footie twats to supermarkets seeking five minutes of fame taking knee-jerk and what they hope are popular and rather stupid actions to “express their stance”. This is born from a generation of selfie loving social media addicts trying to take the stage. It is both stupid and highly dangerous. As with crass social media twats it can quickly intensify reactions artificially and drive the heat of a nasty situation to extremes where more lives are lost.

    We need to find out and know exactly what has pissed Putin and his buddies off, not how to belittle and cancel him because that just ain’t gonna work, he is from a different mould and won’t take that shit.

    I expect some puerile garbage from some “influencer” racing driver or cat walk model any minute now!

    They need to realise this isn’t Hollywood, it’s real life and a shitload is depending on the outcome.

    Channel 4 bragging .. so is of course retweeted by a Labour MP

    Channel 4 News’ weekday evening bulletins have seen a dramatic 103% rise in viewers aged 16-34 vs the same time last year, an increase in its total audience of 54% and an 82% increase in viewers aged 16-24

    FFS double nothing is still NOTHING
    why don’t you state the actual numbers ?

    Oh there’s a final add on with them

    The increases in Channel 4 News audiences for the 7pm bulletin were for Thursday 24 February, Friday 25 February, Monday 28 February, Tuesday 1 March and Wednesday 2 March.
    The average total audience, year on year, increased from 589k to 905k,
    16-34 year olds up from 37k to 75k
    16-24 year olds up from 11k to 20k.

    Now 1 million equals about 1% of adults
    so what is viewership in percentages ?
    Total 0.6% to 0.9%
    16-34 0.037% to 0.075%
    16-24 year olds up from 0.011% to 0.02%
    Those two youth groups overlap each other
