It appears Zelensky is caving in to Russian demands for peace, although it isn’t being reported in the UK media yet:

TWatO Watch #1 – the BBC are naive and stupid ….. and deliberately blind to Civil Servants deliberately hampering or even disobeying instructions just to make the Conservative Government look bad and to provide a Lame Labour Leader and his Opposition Front Bench an opportunity to make themselves look like a (unlikely) ‘Government in waiting’?
Now we know what many of us suspected. The BBC are naive and stupid. A Home Office Minister, standing in for the Home Secretary in the House made it quite clear to Labour (and the BBC – poor Auntie’s amnesia is very bad) that Ukrainian Refugees will be carefully vetted before bing allowed in to the UK. The dim BBC had completely forgotten Salisbury and naive assumed that Russia would not try to slip some FSB (used to be KGB) Operatives into the UK with a Novichok or two.
Yvette Cooper had also naively and stupidly assumed that the Russians wouldn’t think of doing anything like they – apparently – did almost four years ago to the very day. As for Starmer, the Lame Labour Leader was not to be seen or heard. Oh dear! Damien ‘Touching Knee’ Green was asked by the Montacutie to comment and he showed he was none too bright.
Disinformation stuff : I see Farage is trolled relentlessly by accounts accusing him of being a friend of Putin.
One thing they do is post a photo of a Ukrainian soldiers with a Nato Flag and Swastika flags
I notice they don’t put a location and date for the photo.
I check and the same photo is used by a lot of left wing websites
but the same they don’t put a location and date.
One gave the source as Russia-Insider.com
Yep It has the photo in a 2017 story
https://russia-insider.com/en/ukraine-just-opened-its-doors-nato-training-missions/ri18727
I check Source-Watch : “Professor Anton Shekhovtsov explained on his blog that Russia Insider publishes “pieces of Russia’s disinformation warfare against the West and Ukraine.” He also observes that it may be funded by “Russian oligarch Konstantin Malofeev via his associate Alexey Komov.”
Bizarrely other articles on the website accuse Ukraine of being in league with Israelis and Jewish Oligarchs etc.

The tweet by United Against Fascism is what ? Fascist ?
I think smearing political opponents with boo-word labels like Fascist or Nazi is an old Stalin tactic

from Roger at NALOPKT “I took the trouble to trace the ownership of these two entities through Radisson Group to Jin Jiang Holdings and Jin Jiang Capital to the Peoples Republic of China.
Our own govt was involved along the way in the form of pandemic grants converted to shares .
https://votepowernotpoverty.uk/statement-regarding-bolton-rally-venue/
The words Fascist and Nazi have a deep meaning for Russians who lost so many of their people in an heoric struggle against the Germans.
It is nothing like the same to evoke a perjoritive in the UK as it is in Russia.
And despite that the first european that went up on a Russian space craft was German.
Didn’t the Russians lose more people to the Soviets
than to the Germans ?

Is International Woman’s day over yet. I want a cup of tea.
Bercow, the narcissist popinjay, serial bully, liar and Remoaner, fails to apologise or even accept the findins of the inquiries into his behaviour.
What an absolute disgrace he is.
Flotsam
As might be expected – bbc coverage of this historic finding is difficult to find . Certainly it appears that ‘today’ isn’t reporting it – the yesterday in parliament ‘hasn’t covered it .
That’s strange . A man who was so instrumental in fighting brexit – a remainer pinup – is being ignored -but for an interview on the world at one which became a nasty rant by someone sounding unhinged – a monster .
Yet we now have confirmed what people like me saw in Berkow and his vile conduct as Speaker – together with that of the last Traitor parliament – which must never be forgotten or forgiven .
While I do not condone what is happening in Ukraine, I also do not understand what is going on with politicians and the media in their coverage of it.
Biden and others are lying when they say this is an attack upon democracy. Ukraine has a democratically elected President, he was ousted in a coup and is in exile in Russia, this coup was openly backed by the USA.
This was because he decided not to sign an agreement to start joining the EU. (Russia would have ruined his country encomically if he had )
Zelensky was put in his position and has members of the opposition under house arrest and has shut down three TV stations that oppose him.
NO one in the msm apart from ONE person (Peter Hitchens) has openly admitted this.
So this is not an attack on democracy, in FACT it is quite the opposite.
Where is is opposition to being dragged into WW3 because of this ? where is the “not in my name” ?
By all means offer help and support the the perennial victims of war, the civillians, but be very careful of eulogising Zelensky, who, by the way, has made himself and his family extremely wealthy in the process of his undemocratic take over.
Former Ukraine president defies arrest threat in showdown with successor
Poroshenko is being investigated for alleged treason linked to the financing of Russian-backed separatist fighters through illegal coal sales while in office in 2014-15. His party accused Zelenskiy of a reckless attempt to silence political opposition.

Zephir
Forgive my memory but wasn’t there a question about whether the president ousted in a coup was properly elected ? An election fixed by the Russians ?
I’m not sure as I’ve never paid attention to Ukraine .
Anyway – it is right that the points you raise are aired . The problem is that any comment made which go against the approved narrative will be accused of being pro Russia .
However none of those ‘facts ‘ excuses what putin is doing . I read some of what hitchin wrong and he sounded like an apologist for the war. As far as I’m concerned putin is an enemy who needs to be physically or politically dead .- with Russia put in a box unless it behaves .
As I did say, I do not condone what is happening at the moment, but I am disputing the false narrative that this is purely and simply an attack upon democracy as you can see from some of the links I have provided above.
AND the hysteria being whipped up in the msm as you say the “approved narrative”.
Zephir
I know – I am not disagreeing with you – but I am saying that anything outside approved thought now will be seen as supporting Russia .
You agree though that what Russia is doing is evil and wrong don’t you ?
Of course, and I also point out the extreme folly of going much further than offering succour to the victims, and support via sanctions, despite what some would have us do.
A forensic examination during a “blame game ” of the past that created this tension, would uncover much of embarrassment to not just Russia but Ukranian politicians, the US and EU also.
We can only be thankful our country is not in such a “strategic” geographical position.
Zephir – you seem like another apologist for what the Russians are actually doing .. if you look on a map Ukraine is not very far from the UK – and if you know recent history – fallout from the reactor at Chernobyl landed in Britain ….
Maybe you’d approve of Russia doing what ever it needs to swallow up another country …. Buy iodine tablets
Apologist is one thing, understanding motives is another
“You agree though that what Russia is doing is evil and wrong don’t you ?”
Hmm. Less evil than us invading and destroying Iraq. At least Putin has a valid reason, the encroachment of NATO and the breaking of promises made in Glasnost ny us and the US.
And lets not even start on that Muppet of a Prime Minister in Ukraine. That circus in parliament yesterday with all those clowns was a pastiche.
I’m cheering for the underdog: Russia
Rulez – you have a funny sense of humour – or is your email address RU?
LOL.
not Russian. English with quarter German jew granny who fled Adolf.
Being English is to cheer for the underdog in this grim pantomime that we are all playing in at the moment.
Besides, the Russians have the Chinese. Game over. No chance against them.
It’s a Tik-Tok war mixed with super high def Call of Duty footage.
I do ‘think of the little children’, god bless them with there Frozen songs… no. But Russians sd b thinking of their kids. Do they want there kids to be controlled and dominated by a bunch of French/Germans? Or worse, their arch-enenies us and the US.
What about us? What if we lost the Brexit and the Frogs and Hun turn the screw for the next 100 years reducing us to East-European levels on the world stage.
Kriss again on GBN. He is drunk. Or high. Can’t even handle a piece about a dog getting lost – LOL u give those type of stories to the interns LOL. He just stuck 2 fingers up to the screen.
He is definitely high. Rustly Lee just popped into my mind.
I do wish people would stop using the word, “Democracy”. It never existed and never will do. All vociferously supporting “Democracy” should head off to the nearest dessert to top up their mirage experience
Kriss Akabusi !!! On GBN now. OMG who’s idea was it to get a runner to talk about politics. He just gave a 5-minute soliloquy on the war which wd of embarrassed ‘Dave from Dartford’ in his white van.
I could see Kriss’ brain struggling to construct sentences. Black mark for GBN there.
… Now Kriss is mumbling about BLM bulls–t. Lost topic of question. Hopeless. What is he talking about going metaphysical about the “Z” logo.
I think he is the bastard son of Diane Abbott, both painfully inarticulate.
Rulez
I have had the misfortune to attend one of those corporate performance weekends where mr akabusi was the ‘after dinner speaker ‘..( £10k a gig ?) …
He delivers his thing about recovering after failing ( I think he fell over running in an olympics ) – he was eye wateringly poor – but few noticed because the booze was ‘free’ .
I’m surprised he landed up on `GBNews – he must have a really good agent – and obviously they need to demonstrate they’ve got coloured folk to satisfy the BBCOFCOM ….
Ha ha – tune in for Frank Bruno’s opinion next week.
Sometimes GBN seem to push the woke agenda a bit too far – I assume in order to avoid criticism of being too right-wing.
Slavery in historical Africa was practised in many different forms: Debt slavery, enslavement of war captives, military slavery, slavery for prostitution, and enslavement of criminals were all practised in various parts of Africa. Slavery for domestic and court purposes was widespread throughout Africa.
‘US pulls plug on Polish offer to send NATO jets into Ukraine over fears war could escalate’
https://www.gbnews.uk/news/us-pulls-plug-on-polish-offer-to-send-nato-jets-into-ukraine-over-fears-war-could-escalate/243491
Does anyone have any doubt that the US orchestrating all of this ?. With the EU and UK desperately trying to maintain international credibility by hanging on their coat-tails.
They way it looks to me is that the US have provoked this war in gamble to get the Ukraine a fully fledged member of NATO and the EU alongside with the prospect of a wealthy new member to fill the coffers now the cash-cow UK has left.
The gamble failed because they underestimated just how ruthless Putin is when he is cornered. Life is cheap to him. Or maybe they judged the territorial gain was worth the risk.
But what is really alarming me at the moment is how everything the Ukraine claims has a fast-track straight to the headlines on the BBC.
And the other things which stands out is how the BBC are trying sway public opinion by reporting more on individual humanitarian stories than what is actually going on. I have to go elsewhere for that information. We are getting propaganda like it is us who is at war. I almost expected the BBC to dub someone cheering over the video where the helicopter got shot down.
Even today the BBC headlines have: ‘Toddler with cancer escapes Ukraine to Poland’.
The whole situation just doesn’t feel right to me. We can blame Putin for all the people getting blown to pieces, but lets not be so quick to put all the blame on him for being there in the first place.
“They way it looks to me is that the US have provoked this war in gamble to get the Ukraine a fully fledged member of NATO and the EU alongside with the prospect of a wealthy new member to fill the coffers now the cash-cow UK has left.

Yes. Don’t poke the Russian bear is a saying as old as time. Especially Putin who is hardcore physco killer omg. you’re right – Putin is not going to back down.
International Womens Days.
Men ordered to stay and fight in Ukraine – not women – equality?
Fed Up- So I also see we have a few Russian supporters on
this web site. I have to admit whilst Sardar Azmoun the
Iranian Dennis Bergkamp was playing for Zenit St Petersburg
I did show an interest how Zenit were performing in the
Champions League.
I just read a report on I24 that Russia is recruiting from SYRIA
to supplement their forces in Ukraine , where they are on a peace
keeping mission. Maybe we should allow some of the “boys”
vacating in the four star hotels in the UK go to join their
Russian brothers. Maybe Boris will allow a few Ukranian
women and children to take their place.
By the way I do think that the plethora of women presenters
reporters and of course Clive Myrie from the BBC are reporting
admirably from Ukraine. It must be hard for those on duty being pestered
from BIG BROTHER from the diversity department to show us
as many sub Saharan victims as they can find.
Foscari – I am both surprised and frightened that there are apologists for putin Russia killing people in Ukraine … or maybe they don’t believe the Russians are doing it – in their ‘peacekeeping operation ‘…
They even try to justify it by wrongs committed by the UK in the recent past … on americas coat tails – which i find more than distasteful .
As for myrie – he left Ukraine for UK last night …the kidults in the BBC will always go for a story about a kid with cancer in need of urgent medical help . No doubt some Russia supporters here think the Russians will help…
I thought for a second this was a post from MaxiCon.
“No doubt some Russia supporters here think the Russians will help…”
It’s not football – though many seem to think it is with Ukraine flags all over socials.
GBN rasing Rus/China angle now. BBC have blanked that part of the story completely from their reporting. How China will want this to bring the Yanks down a few more pegs.
It’s a fight. Blood, bones, teeth, death.
We are one of the last nations to virtue signal over this given what we did to Iraq.
Cheering despots is silly.
However lobbing allusions by association should be left to the BBC.
Here a gov gob hands Toenails a BS award winner.
Daft bint.
The BBC feels it is on safe ground with fake news vs. that which is carefully controlled, in, out and, on occasion, enhanced.

FEAR …
BBC Breakfast @07:30 “… the purpose of this is to PROTECT US from CRASHING OUT with NO DEAL and COMPLETE CLIFF EDGE and all the CHAOS that would ensue. Which we believe would be very harmful, not just for the economy but to things that matter to people in their everyday lives.”
– Sarah Wollaston MP (Con)
“to protect us” – US being everyone, not just EU pensions?
“CRASHING OUT” – fear.
“NO DEAL” – but their is always WTO, so this is a lie.
“COMPLETE CLIFF EDGE” – not just a cliff edge, the COMPLETE one. Much more fearful.
“CHAOS” – 700 days and still in the EU!
“things that matter” – this covers everything to everyone so is a useless statement. 1% taxes that Juncker stole? Mass immigration forced by Merkel? Forcing Greece into destitution? Aiding the trafficking of humans from Africa?
FEAR! FEAR! COMPLETE FEAR! COMPLETE CLIFF EDGE! FEAR!
