Stop voting for fucking Tories

[Paddington Bear]

Really hope people don't take the Russian position at face value here. Truss has a room temperature IQ but she is not the reason why Russia is doing what it's doing.

I don't think so. But she really seems to have got under their skin which is pretty amusing.

Obviously not I just found it amusing the idea that Liz said something so stupid the Russians had to arm their nukes

It's the norm for recent UK For Secs; the bumblecunts moronic witterings, got a UK Citizen slung in an Iranian prison, where she remains; & nearly caused a Diplomatic incident quoting Kipling in Burma... and as for Raab

[laurent]

It's also technically illegal and any Westerners captured by the Russians are a PR dream.

I was wondering that or is it just if you go and fight for the likes of ISIS?

It's illegal to enlist in a foreign army to fight against a country which is at peace with the Uk.

Meanwhile the Russians are blaming Truss for everything...

It's really not that. It's that she's easy for them to mock and humiliate and it helps them sow more chaos. Essentially trolling.

The hard part would be choosing which one from the huge cast available.

[I like neeps]

She's the foreign secretary of a nuclear member of NATO encouraging UK combatants to go to war with Russia.

It's an incredibly stupid thing to say and obviously provocative. Even if it's an air headed comment. And for what tangible gain? It shows what a totally unserious politician she is.

Don't think it is getting under their skin - they aren't worried about UK citizens going to Russia. Gives them a chance to escalate though.

What's next? Saying the SAS is already there. Just mental.

Fairly sure it was these comments that got them to respond:

“If we don’t stop Putin in Ukraine we are going to see others under threat – the Baltics, Poland, Moldova, and it could end up in a conflict with Nato,” said the foreign secretary on Sunday.

“We do not want to go there. That is why it is so important we make the sacrifices now.”

Less than 3 hour flight required to evacuate the Mums and Dads, Grannies and Grandads and the kiddies yet Raab the Baam says geography is an issue! FFS I have mates that have flown there for the weekend to go on the lash and still got home for work on a Monday morning! Hire some jets and get those poor fuckers who have kids or other relatives here out asap and we will look after them. It is then only a 3 hour flight to get them back home again if that is what he is worried about! He really boils my piss! Don't even get me started about the little nazi Patel.

Perhaps the blonde slug could have a word with that nice Mrs Patel before spouting off about refugees

Johnson told his Polish counterpart Mateusz Morawiecki: “We stand ready, clearly, to take Ukrainian refugees in our own country, working with you, in considerable numbers, as we always have done and always will.”

This is what fecks me off - its bad enough playing politics within your own country, lying, obfuscating and twisting the truth to make yourself look better when folk are struggling to heat and feed themselves but doing it in the middle of a serious armed conflict in Europe with folk literally dying in their hundreds and desperate for help and refuge is just about as bad as it gets. He is a feckin cnut, always has been and always will be, - who else is shagging his way around London whilst his wife is getting treated for cancer - but to spout this shite when it is demonstrably untrue is just unforgivably. He and his bunch of moronic, racist, jingoistic, Russian funded, right wing Brexit Ultras need to go asap.

In his usual making it up as I go along style. From his press conference in Warsaw which is still going on

Johnson says the UK has always had a tradition of taking people from war zones. He says the rules have been changed. That could lead to the UK taking 200,000 people, maybe more.
(Yesterday the government figure was 100,000. It appears to have doubled overnight.)

The Conservative Friends of Russia was launched at the Russian embassy in London in 2012. Amongst those present were Carrie Johnson (then Symonds), John Whittingdale, Conservative MP and Matthew Elliott, later chief executive of Vote Leave. Sergey Nalobin was the 'Tories for Putin' groups dodgy Russian 'enabler'. This is all well known. However, anyone else think Carrie might be the Blonde Bumblecunt's handler?

It's something that annoys me no end: this schoolyard boasting on every single topic, and generally without context or facts to prove it (as they don't tend to exist)

Every time a member of the cabinet speaks in public they boast about the UK having the biggest growth, most evacuations, quickest vaccines, most financial contributions, highest increase in GDP etc.

Most of it is bollocks anyway, but it's also just very petty and pathetic - intelligent adults don't turn everything into a competition, especially not of they're pretty bad at playing the game!

Is Carrie busy organizing evacuating any dog & cat charities in Ukraine, as we speak ?

I'm sure they'll count towards the official numbers.

What makes Raab even worse is that his father was a refugee. Pull up the ladder, burn it and scatter the ashes to the four winds.

Well, there's a coincidence and no mistake. I wonder how many of his clients also donate to the Tory Party?

The co-chairman of the Conservative Party once boasted about his company’s success helping Russian oligarchs to buy property in London and move their children to British public schools.
Ben Elliot, 46, is the co-founder of Quintessentially, a luxury concierge company that catered to the needs of Russia’s wealthy for the past 15 years.

Plans for UK rival to Silicon Valley ditched


UK efforts to create a high-tech research and development region designed to rival Silicon Valley seem dead in the water as government prioritises other initiatives.

Oxford-Cambridge Arc had planned to create new road and rail links between the cities' universities and research centres in Milton Keynes, as well as housing and a strategic planning framework sympathetic to economic development across the region. But reports suggest levelling-up minister Michael Gove, who is supposed to spearhead economic development in regions outside London, has dropped support for the plans.

Reports claim that Gove mimed sitting on a toilet and pulling the chain when asked about the regional plans, adding: "That's what's happened to the Arc," according to one MP from the ruling Conservative Party.

This is so infuriating. A scheme that they reckon would permanently raise GDP by 3% scrapped because the government is terrified of NIMBYs. Managed decline.

Job #1 is to get re-elected; & they've decided that the money for this project is better spent protecting other marginal seats, by building leisure centers; rather that potentially pissing off people who already vote for them.

Fuck Business !!

Really leading the world on sanctions, our list is now up to a pathetic 8!!!

Boris Johnson is under pressure, including from his own MPs and opposition parties, to move faster in targeting assets of Russian oligarchs after it was conceded it could take “weeks and months” to build legally-sound cases. The EU is pressing the UK to go further and faster in imposing sanctions on Russian oligarchs over fears that assets are being swept out of the UK. Contrary to the prime minister’s claims to be leading the world in the economic response to the invasion of Ukraine, there is frustration among allies over the UK’s lethargy in hitting Russian wealth
