The scheme for putting up Ukrainian refugees in your home for £350 pm is a humane way of helping these poor women, children and old folks. I suppose that they can’t be put up in hotels because they are already full of strapping young third world male economic migrants masquerading as refugees.
But of course this scheme to help Ukrainians will be used by lawyers in future to force the UK government to do the same for any folks claiming to be refugees, no need to travel half way across the world sir we will send a plane to come and pick you up. I reckon that it might be wise to invest in a sign-in the front window stating that No Halal Food Served Here.
A few years ago I might have thought that the long term precedent set by this new scheme had not been thought through by the civil servants responsible. But I now know that they will know exactly how the human rights lawyers will use it future and indeed have probably designed it so that the maximum number of third worlders can use it to get entry into the UK in years to come.
Sopes now paid the word.
A lot… by the word.
Omission is the greatest lie … see BBC for more details – oh wait.
Traitor Sedwill (should be in gaol) still at it advocating we join Pesco and the European Defence Fund – i.e. being a ‘rule taker’.
The traitors will try any method to get us back into their ReichEU. The problem is that the current ‘government ‘ hasn’t got the backbone or connection with the UK Brexit voters – as shown by their response to border control .
The krauts will want people to forget that they obstructed weapons supply from the UK to Ukraine back in January –
– the traitors will also push for the ‘better together ‘ lie when in reality the only club worth being in is NATO – but even then – as president trump rightly pointed out – there are too many freeloaders – such as the krauts – in that …
I don’t know enough about Europe to know where the next target will be for Putin – some majority Russian speaking bit of Poland I guess – or he looks go for somewhere south with a lot of oil ….
As I understand these loons – if they have troubles at home – they wrap themselves in the flag and try to find an enemy for the population to hate ….
… I’m a bit out of the loop so I wonder what the BBC reaction is to accepting refugees for£350 ?
Will the scheme be a luck of the draw Job with some nice westernised Ukrainians versus a third world coloured 18 psycho just out of the dinghy from war torn Calais ….. ?
After all – they are all fleeing conflict – right ?
Nord Stream 1 still pumping – nato to blow it up to stop funding Russia?
BBC ,
A couple of points to remember when you eulogise about other (EU) countries taking in refugees fron Ukraine.
1; they haven’t been swamped by illegal immigration like we have .
2; they will send them back when the war is over .
And could I possibly add? :-
3; They are likely to be honest, hardworking people who will fit into your existing culture and be determined to show gratitude and earn their keep.
The German government has budgeted more than €40 million (£35 million) to pay asylum seekers to voluntarily return to their home countries.3 Feb 2017
Nibor, ” 1; they haven’t been swamped by illegal immigration like we have .” ahem, with the exception of Greece and Italy and maybe also Spain.

World at one
Looks like the BBC is pivoting away from the real immediate needs of Ukraine to its favourites – the third world – which it claims will starve because of high food / commodity prices .
Maybe instead of ‘gender / racial justice ‘ projects funded by comic relief that grab for money from good people can be focused on real needs ….

One man. One man responsible for all the grief and that grief will go on for years what with grain, the upheaval of the World economy and one thing and another. Virtually the whole world hates Putin. My solution, if no one else is prepared to step up to the plate? Small nuke on the Kremlin and have done with it. Simples: put the man out of his misery before he inflicts more on the World.

G, one small problem with that: if there was one ‘Power Grabber’ in Russia after 1990 (and Putin certainly grabbed and has held on to power) there will likely be other Power Grabbers who will see it as their suicidal duty to press the Russian red launch button in retaliation even if it means a massive response from the West.

A DEGREE OF INFLUENCE: The funding of strategically important subjects in UK universities
“What is noticeable from the research undertaken in this report is the disparity
in the levels of funding from the countries studied. There are huge amounts
of cash currently being donated by Arab and Islamic sources (University of Cambridge / £1.2m / UAE / Appointment of a full-time lecturer specialising in Islam / 1996), and this has undoubtedly
led to a degree of influence in the oversight of UK universities. China,
however, while donating only a relatively small amount of cash, has managed
to gain a disproportionate amount of influence in UK higher education via its
Confucius Institutes. What is also clear is that, in terms of money donated, the
likes of Japan and Russia do not appear to have the desire to influence higher
education in the same way as China or certain countries in the Muslim world.”

I gave up watching that when the ‘red carpet’ consisted of endless soap and daytime tv slebs.
The same with the Oscars, always a film buff I used to sit up til the early hours awaiting to hear who had won what. Then the Marvel Comics took over, rubbish teen High School films, muffled dialogue and crashing loud background music (shame its not the other way around), along with ‘stars’ I’d never heard of, so I couldn’t even care less now who’s won in any category. The days of Jack Nicholson, Al Pacino, Clint, even more so Jimmy Stewart, Gregory Peck et al all real actors worth buying a cinema ticket for, have gone.

Lines “This Congolese woman told me most of the societies in Africa were matrilinear, and then patriachy came in”

When Jamaica gained independence in 1962, the murder rate was 3.9 per 100,000 inhabitants, one of the lowest in the world.[4] In 2005, Jamaica had 1,674 murders for a murder rate of 58 per 100,000 people.[5] That year, Jamaica had the highest murder rate in the world.[2] In November 2008, the Jamaican Parliament voted to retain the death penalty, which is performed by hanging.[6]
Jamaica recorded 1,680 murders in 2009.[7] In 2010, there were 1,428. In 2011, 1,125. 2012 saw 1,097; 2013 1,200. 2014 totaled 1,192; 2015 1,450; 2016 1,350 and 2017, 1,616.[8] 1,287 murders were reported in 2018.[9]
BBC , please ask these questions of the Home Office , the woke lot and yourselves .
If a householder takes in an refugee from the Ukraine can he
1 ; have a vetting procedure about who he takes in , unlike the Border Farce which takes anyone in ?
2; say how long the refugee can stay ,unlike the Home Office who lets nearly everyone stay forever ?
3 ; demand what behaviour is acceptable , unlike the Home Office who dont seem to care ?
4; throw the refugee out if the refugee has unacceptable behaviour , unlike the Home Office who wish to keep them here ?
5; throw out the refugee if his status is fraudulent eg ; the refugee is not Ukrainian or left the Ukraine for reasons other than the war ( like he is a criminal , or just wanted a better life in the UK , or to flee a rival criminal gang ,or that the locals told him to leave for his health because they were fed up with his anti social ways ) ?
6 ; throw out the refugee if the refugee is ungrateful or demanding ?
7 ; throw out the refugee if the refugee has a medical condition that he/she thinks will get better treatment here , for example pregnancy or AIDS ?
8 ; throw out the refugee if the refugees aim is to get other people into the household , like family members and extended family ?
9; throw out the refugee if the refugee aims to use the householders premises for political activity , for commercial use , for questionable moral use or as a base to attack others ?
10 ; Throw out the refugee if there is a misunderstanding due to language , cultural or ethical practises ? .
11; Throw out the refugee if his wants , needs and desires clash with the householders , or his wants , needs , and desires are given precedence over the householders ?
12 ; throw out the refugee when the householder thinks there is no good reason for the refugee staying there ?
In other words will commonsense be used or BBC style obfuscation and wokery ?

Good questions Nibor.
I have to say I’m not anything like as keen as the missus on taking in a Ukrainian ‘child’ refugee, or two, even if I do feel sorry for them, and have been asking myself a lot of those same questions Nibor.
What do you do when your Ukrainian ‘guest’ invites some ‘friends’ over to smoke some weed, and decides to set fire to the dog? Would the police get involved? Would they if your ‘guest’ and chums kicked you, and your family out of your own home and changed the locks?… Probably not, to be honest.
To get some idea just what could possibly go wrong, it might be worth watching “Worst Roomate Ever” on Netflix too… sobering.
Setting fire to the dog, BBC, phew massive crime and the police arrive in an instant hot on the heels of the RSPCA. Set fire to you or your house, they may offer counselling but not much more than a WPC turning up two weeks later.
A refugee is not just for Christmas – but for life.
Ukraine war: UK households offered £350 a month for hosting refugees
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-60724111
“Local authorities will also receive £10,500 in extra funding per refugee for support services – with more for children of school age, the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities said.”
Loads of money!
You wouldn’t think the country was on the brink of severe recession.
Maybe the Ukrainian regime will surrender when they’ve shared out the 14 billion $ aid from USA.
Do you think they have to do the £350 gimmick because all the more suitable stuff ( hotels ) are full of 3rd world chancer criminals …. ?
I believe you are spot on Fed. The normal reaction to an influx of refugees is to commandeer as much suitable accommodation as is available at short notice and especially Military buildings, Hotel chains with slim bookings looking to get a quick Government wad. (All of whom I believe will fall on their backsides when they try once again to attract UK visitors!).
However the lefty-harpies are shrieking that the uncaring Tory Government are not helping so this half-baked scheme they have come up with is little more than deflective window dressing to cover up their gross incompetence. (I’m waiting for Lineker to offer a wing of his Country estate to them!)
Sure there will be some eager beavers who will wave their moral flags by letting out their spare room by inviting in some bodies that may be turned into Labour or Lib-Dem voters in due course but is it really sustainable?
These people will have no jobs, no income, no visas, indeterminate health conditions, require a load of school places and health support etc. etc. so what will they do next? They can’t all pick vegetables.
Maybe they could commandeer all of the posh hotels in central London so they can flood London with Big Issue chuggers?
I’d expect genuine refugees would accept military barracks.
Eddy, what could possibly go wrong?
I wonder if the Home Office officials have asked all the correct ‘What if ….’ questions?
I wonder if the Ukrainians running away from the Ukraine are the wives and children of the Globalist Mafia.
In Allo Allo, French women are seen as Patriots, staying at home and fighting in the resistance.
Today, Ukrainian women are seen as weak cowards, running away from home, with children, to Dunkirk, to catch a boat to paradise.
Ten guesses of why the Consecration of Russia is important:
(1) In June 1930, a priest in the North Caucasus Kraiis area, is shot in the head for opposing Stalin’s collectivisation policies.
(2) His sole enters a local embryo, causing a birth mark to the head of the baby.
(3) On 25 March 1984, Pope John Paul II in Union with All the Bishops of the World, enacted the Consecration of all Russian Individuals to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Sister Lúcia declared in private correspondence on 8 November 1989 that the consecration offered by Pope John Paul II in Saint Peter’s Square on 25 March 1984, had been properly accomplished and was “accepted in Heaven”.
(4) On 11 March 1985, the baby with the birthmark on the head, became the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.
(5) Gorbachev imposes Perestroika on Russia, a term he first used publicly at the time of the Consecration of Russia, in March 1985.
(6) From 1986, Gorbachev imposes Glasnost on Russia.
(7) Gorbachev ends the existence of the “Evil Empire” on Christmas Day 1991.
(8) Boris Yeltsin invites the Globalist Mafia into Russia.
(9) Vladimir Putin kicks the Globalist Mafia out of Russia.
(10) On 24 February 2022, Vladimir Putin invades the Ukraine, to kick out the Globalist Mafia.
WTF?
Maybe we could sell a yacht on ebay?
Mega-wealthy owners of the superyachts value privacy and discretion and keep as low a profile their vessels allow and recent events in Ukraine have increased the desire of some superyacht owners to hide their movements.
Yachts owned by Russia’s oligarchs may be subject to being seized under international sanctions. Several vessels have already been detained. These include Amore Vero, reportedly owned by Igor Sechin, a former Russian administration official and CEO of the Rosneft energy company. Lady M, is reputedly owned by Alexei Mordashov, a steel and mining billionaire.
Some boats are going dark, turning off their automated identification systems and running to safe harbors. Some are be sailing to remote Russian ports not normally associated with luxury yachts.

I often wondered why some items being sold on Ebay had huge price tags, and some wag told me that it was an ideal way to launder cash!
I thought Paypal sorted all that out, but how I really don’t know!
I know I’ve mentioned this before, but just watched a garden makeover programme, and the clients have budgets of around £20,000 !!!! then the ‘designers’ draw breath and say “its a TIGHT budget”. WHAT ???? The couple had a garden with just a lawn surrounded by 3 fences on a brand new housing estate. So not exactly a mansion house.
A good amount of plants were put in, and some trees, a couple of boulder rocks and a bit of patio decking. Looked very nice, but honestly ? twenty grand for THAT ? Then the couple were asked if the budget was stuck to, and no ! the final tally was £27,000 dear God. We were told that one tree planted – for the height, was 16 years old and cost £1,000.
So, a bog standard postage stamp size new build garden costs £27,000. How many on here could spend a tiny fracture of that to obtain the same effect. I would cry buckets seeing what I got for my money (but I wouldn’t consider it anyway) by these designers taken on by the BBC.
They real hoot Brissles is that if you look closely at the standard of the garden upgrades it is clear that it is rushed rubbish and will probably not last much more than a couple of winters anyway!
Hence – If in doubt, lay some bloody horrible decking for a quick fix!
The prices can get really hefty if you’re buying quite mature trees. If you were doing it on a real budget and not some insanely inflated BBC amount made available for a TV make-over, you’d buy trees and shrubs that were much smaller and therefore cheaper and give them a few years to establish.
Of course, that doesn’t look nearly as impressive on our TV screens.
I don’t like “instant gardening” anyway. Gardens should evolve naturally.
And cheaply…
Jeff,
My late uncle was a landscape gardener. His method was to plan a garden with the idea of what it would look like 2-4 years after planting. Not for instant effect.
Brissles : This is your reminder that tellyland is not the real world.
I wouldn’t take it at face value.

10am Woman’s Hour : Electric Car #PRasNews
“We know that women are more environmentally conscious when shopping for the household
– but there’s one area where that doesn’t seem to be the case – cars.
There are now over 600,000 plug-in electric vehicles in the UK, but a new study has found that 20% of women haven’t even considered buying an electric car.
We speak to Erin Baker, Editorial Director at AutoTrader about why women are less likely to opt for electric vehicles.”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00159pw
So 20% of women are to be SHAMED by @bbcWomansHour management for not conforming to “shop yourself green” rules.
… Maybe those 20% could be made to wear GREEN stars on their elbows.
Nice one Stew!
This BBC screaming about ‘green’ and ‘vegan’ is getting more than tiresome these days.

Appears the guest was a little sceptical too.
If the Ukrainian war is contained – the coming strain on people is going to be a challenge for the woke BBC .. for instance – the Saudis executing people under Islamic law – yet nut nut going there to ask for cheaper oil .
Methinks a tricky one for the swamp – particularly as they bleat about the cost of living .
The same applies to the green crap – with inflated bills being laid at the door of mad government policy – driven by Mrs nut nut and a mental teenager and an old BBC journalist ….
Then there are increasing taxes – maxing out the ‘community charge ‘ – hyping NICs -overtaxed petrol and diesel – congestion charges -all being used to fund a bloated underperforming NHS ….
You can bet which side the BBC will be on – and it won’t be yours
As I write this some lefty journo and ex Tory politician debate – on Today – whether nut nut should go beg for cheaper Saudi oil …. BBC imperialism wanting to impose woke western human rights ‘superiority ‘ on the Saudis .
BTW – my views are prejudiced because I believe in killing very bad criminals ….because locking them up for ever is a waste of money and time …
Talking of Pret…Not a state propaganda tool.

Only ‘hopes’ well that is a weasel word if ever there was one. Knowing the extreme forms of woke hypocrisy practised by liberal globalist cheer leaders like him , I expect that he might buy a house , well away from his own , to put them in and then of course claim they are living in his house , leaving the gullible to think him genuine
Well I ‘hope’ one day useless pols, currently all, sort out useless civil servants, especially highly paid ones protected by other highly paid ones pretending to hold actual power to account.
Pols can be voted out. The latter two are unaccountable, unfireable and embedded for life, plus index linked.
The evidence is there that the civil service is lazy – incompetent – self serving – superior – when it comes to directions by Tory politicians – whether it be border control or the delivery of weapons or the admin of Ukrainian refugees – and the NHS of course
Cummings seems to be the last person to really take on the civil service but that ended badly for everyone except the civil service ….
BTW – the civil servants ‘investigating ‘ the garden crap must be desperate that they don’t punish their own kind …

What with wobbly headed indians when asked a question of, (and we all know what that signifies don’t we?) and blacks, the Civil Service must be now in a state of permanent ineptitude.

Don’t have the faintest what that’s supposed to mean in physiognomic terms, but I’m sure it’s evidence of a deeply ingrained sense of superiority and smugness, based on a rather trivial intellect, a vastly over privileged upbringing, and a lifetime of undeserved praise, awarded for standing upright, looking constipated, and reciting words someone else has come up with.

By the US? By Ukrainians? By mysterious ‘agents’? By the BBC?!!! What is truth anymore, and what is lies… ARRGH!!!

Adult male human being
We’re quite used to our BBC playing that now familiar news obfuscation game of using the bland term man – when they have something about that man they wish to hide from their audience.
This morning we have the BBC’s newspaper alter ego the Guardian exposed using this trick by means of a quick photo comparison with the Times.
‘Russia escalates war in Ukraine…‘ – asserts the Gruan. How so? ‘…with attack close to NATO border‘ – and there we were, thinking geographical spheres of influence were a thing of the past. I digress. The Guardian shows us a pic of a wounded chap with the caption: ‘A man hurt in airstrikes is helped at Novoiavorivsk hospital yesterday‘ – thankfully, it is not apparently life-threatening for this apparent civilian “man” caught up in the fighting – since he is pictured taking a call on his mobile phone.
But look at this… same chap with his distinctive receded hairline and bloodstain on his forehead pictured in the Times, alternatively captioned: ‘A serviceman injured in the bombing‘
One might put this down as a minor incidence – the photo caption, not the actual bombing – the casual underemphasising by the Guardian of a military casualty in an attack on a military target. Afterall, their report sub-header reads factually: ‘Deadly airstrikes on key military base near Poland prompt warning from US‘ – likely there was no direct intention to fool that tiny section of the British public who take the Guardian in this one small specific. But what it does highlight is the very keen overriding intention to influence in some way the sentiments and attitudes of the public toward this war. Perhaps this time the Gruan just let their enthusiasm for narrative rather than fact show through – just a bit.
‘War reaches NATO border‘ – boldly shouts the Times. And to think we were told last week that Putin’s forces were already bogged down. “GG” meaning good game in online gaming speak; which is what the kids say when someone has been beaten.
One tends to realise that if it is GG for anyone here, then it is GG for President Biden and Western foreign policy in general. Will our economic sanctions work? I wouldn’t bet on it…
Speaking of the gee-gees, the tabloids go with Cheltenham: ‘Your essential festival preview‘ (Sun); ‘Fixtures pocket guide‘ (Daily Star)
‘Baftas goes Gaga‘ (Daily Star) – GG to Gaga? Possibly a segueway too far there. More celeb news later as it impinges on politics and current affairs – like we know it will.
How are those sanctions working out for us?
‘Food producers warn conflict will have huge impact on grain supplies forcing prices higher‘ (FT)
‘As Putin’s war rages on… refugees need you!‘ – kudos to the giveaway Metro there. Not content with channelling WW2 as does the Sun with reference to the Blitz: ‘Putin blitz on NATO border‘ – the freebie Metro winds the clock way back as far as WW1 with their quote from Lord Kitchener with his iconic accusatory finger pointing poster: “Your country needs you” – well that wouldn’t fly with our modern oikophobic sensibilitites – so it is the refugees of course and not our own country that needs us.
Never mind nuclear war… one worries about the economic fall out.
If you’re not a bleeding heart liberal type then our red top tabloids have an alternative message – Putin’s bonkers, innit… what’s he on?
‘Vlad’s roid rage‘ – claims the Daily Star. His plans certainly left the West behind sitting stunned at the lights, as he roared off toward his goal. Seems we’re getting a bit of road rage too…
‘Drivers do a runner as fuel prices rocket‘ (Telegraph) I can see one big row developing there.
‘Former UN chief warns UK against fracking‘ (Guardian)
‘Big four accounting firms have discovered that quitting Moscow and cutting Russia ties is no simple task‘ (FT)
‘Moscow threat to pay debt in roubles raises risk of first default since 1998‘ (FT) – as the old story goes – you owe the bank £1,000 you’re in trouble. You owe the bank £10m then the bank is in trouble.
And finally at last, to celeb news of those people with no such financial concerns and no fear that they might even notice the harmful self-inflicted side effects of our sanctions on Russia.
‘Guardian documentary The Black Cop wins Bafta‘ (Guardian) – there’s nothing quite like blowing one’s own trumpet. Or borrowing a trumpet off some black chap and giving it a good old blow on his behalf.
‘Cumberbatch: I’ll house a Ukrainian refugee‘ (Telegraph) – and who knows, he might have to make his live-in Filipino maid homeless in order to free up a spare room? I’m only writing pure made up fiction there – which the actor who plays fictional characters will of course understand.
‘Police checks for residents offering refuge to Ukrianians‘ (Telegraph) – oh joy… please have the Inland Revenue take a close look at their tax arrangements while they’re at it.

‘Police ‘are called to home of Commons bully John Bercow after a late night domestic bust-up with his wife Sally”
Considering Bercow has just been in the news for his bad tempered bullying might be newsworthy as it may or may not confirm accusations….accusations that the BBC did its best to dismiss last week whilst suggesting that the inquiry was a politically motivated revenge attack on Bercow….the BBC completely disregarding the claims of the victims who are usually always to be believed if the cause is right…..clearly not the right cause here for the BBC.
BBC tend to drop these stores late at night of weekend when people will be doing other things –

However, his style drew criticisms from others, and some Conservatives accused him of bias, breaching the requirement that the Speaker stays neutral.

Chaos as police stop Hungary migrant train – Gavin Hewitt – BBC -Sep 2015 @53s

One of her companions tried to help her (photo of man with women on track, riot police reaching towards them) Somehow there became a push and a shove with the police. She ended up on the railway lines (by the male refugee dragging her and the baby to the floor, but this is not said) with the riot police trying to pull her back, and this of course inflamed all the other people…”

The BBC cerainly can pick ’em…..Hilary Jones from the lefty woke as hell Lush was on 5 Live demanding all Ukrainians be let in and recruiting staff is much harder ‘since Brexit’…..hmmm….one it’s to do with covid and 400,000 dropping off the work radar for their own reasns, two there are 6 million once EU citizens who applied to stay here post Brexit, three EU migration dropped post 2016 but non-EU rose steeply to compensate….so is Lush racist in not employing these people?…because they’re mostly likely non-white.
The BBC of course knew what it was going to get when they gave her a call….a narrative that the BBC fully supports and promotes.
On Today we had a businessman who was pressed to condemn Saudi Arabia which his company still does business with….the BBC now deciding which country it is morally right to work with….but no pressure on Lush which has decided to keep its shops open in Russia. Odd huh?

2021 – three teachers hide in Batley from Islam…
1985 … Ahmadis suffer vicious persecution around the world. The main source of fuel for that persecution is in Pakistan, but what happens in Pakistan does not stay in Pakistan.
I know that from my experience in the Yorkshire market town of Batley. In August 1985, when I was 11 years old, my parents organised an inter-faith meeting in the town hall. It was interrupted and disturbed when, according to West Yorkshire police, more than 1,000 extremists, led by Pakistani hate preachers funded by the Pakistani state, were bused in from around the country. The mob brutally attacked my English mother and my father, a dermatologist; my eldest brother and I; and a Welsh Ahmadi schoolteacher who was with us. My first cousin, a GP, was by chance driving through the market town that day. He saw the mob and saw his family and friends being attacked, so he stopped. He was recognised, pulled from his vehicle and savagely beaten up.

Ok, sentiment aside, has anybody thought of the future with the potential of taking in tens of thousands of Ukrainian refugees ? What happens if/when the war ends ? Its reported that refugees will be given leave to stay for 3 years, with access to everything.
So, realistically, out of these many thousands, how many will actually return to Ukraine ? Yes it will take time for the rebuilding of bombed cities and towns, but its not beyond the wit of man to assume that once our welfare system is accessed, very few will be returning home.
Bleeding hearts cry that “we’ve always been a safe haven for refugees ” – yes, but at what point is the pot boiling over ? The Kindertransport in the second world war is often exampled, but the population in the UK was tens of millions less than where we are today.
Countries in Europe are nowhere near as densely populated as we are, so are Spain, Portugal, Switzerland taking in the hundreds of thousands that talking heads on the tele want us to take in ? Immigration is a running sore in this country, and its getting worse with our open door policy where nobody gets sent home !
As we are assured that times are going to get tough and society is put under greatly increased stress will the ethnically diverse population stick together or will it fragment with each ethnic group looking after their own? The latent problems of fifty years of mass immigration of different cultures are going to come home to roost big time.
Don’t say that we didn’t warn you !

My controversial viewpoint:
I believe that fighting the Russian invaders is a totally futile exercise. Zelensky is either on some sort of power trip or is deluded. There is no possibility that the Ukraine can defeat the Russians, no-one from the West can help either without the risk of WW3. The only result gained from this asymmetric “War” will be death and destruction of the Ukraine and Ukrainians Zelensky, please call a halt to the conflict.
As for refugees. I think it’s a mistake to take them, there’s enough problems in the UK as it is.
Someone has to say it
I totally agree. We should let Putin roll across Europe unhindered, that’s the best thing to do. I’m sure you’ll be welcomed into the fold with open arms.
Putin will have to stop at the borders of NATO – for the same reason we can’t actively materially help Ukriane to fight him – the threat of WW3
Given that the West has blundered into this situation the present alternative to a ceasefire and acceptance of at least some of what Putin demands is what exactly?
We bravely fight him to the last drop of the last Ukrainian’s blood?
Or do we enable him to safely deport the entire non-Russian speaking population to Tunbridge Wells. Call it Novo-Kyiv?
Flotsamski – you’d have been popular here in 1939.
As for the Russian ‘security operation ‘ as you’d probably call it – the longer it goes on – and the more Russians are killed – the less likely putin will go for another European target – eg Poland of Hungary or the Balkan states – …
Also – of course -the real economic pain in Russia might concentrate potential threats to putin do something about him ….
Flotsam…
I have suspected Zelenski’s irrational and highly dangerous calls for military help from the UN is based on more than love for his Country. When/If the Russians complete their invasion they will no doubt be rifling through the paperwork as it were and quite possibly uncover stuff that Zelenski and Co. do not want to be uncovered so he has nothing to lose by risking setting off WW3.

As for Dominic O’Connell the Business Correspondent from New Zealand, I don’t think I have heard him on the BBC for many months. Quite how does a Broadcasting Corporation run a business with so many on the payroll not apparently doing any work?
Oh, silly me!
The Compulsory TV Licence Fee, that’s how!
Hint to HMG: with ‘a squeeze on household incomes’ thanks to tax rises, inflation, commodity price increases, etc., now would be a really good time to help households’ budgets by scrapping the Telly Tax progressively and almost completely over the next three years: down to £120 in year 1, down to £80 in year 2, and halving to £40 in year 3, then set at £20 thereafter.
You can’t cut the tele fax, what would happen to the 23,000 staff, and all those channels 🙂
ajs, 25,000,000 x £20 = half a billion. Add the BBC’s other commercial activities which yield 1.5 billion = £2 billion. If they cannot run five radio networks and two or three TV stations on that with associated pay cuts for staff and presenters then the BBC Board should be sacked by HMG for incompetence.
