Russian invasion of Ukraine

Recommended Posts

How does everyone feel about playing Ukraine in the middle of the war? Strikes me we have a chance to actually show the world Scotland stands with Ukraine when Westminster is degrading the whole nation with its refugee policy 

we’ve started a crowd funder to try and get tartan army fans to contribute to ukraine’s defence… anyone up for trying to spread the word?

Price controls have to come up for discussion. 

We are basically at war without the fighting at the moment. Profiteering should not be allowed. 

I'm confident that our current government has the unimpeachable moral fibre and sense of ethics required to look out for our interests here and not take the opportunity to enrich themselves and their mates.

I'm not sure I want to send ammunition and artillery range finding software into a warzone myself. Ain't no Ivan ever called me a Jock.

it would not surprise me in the slightest if every Russian oligarch currently resident in London has an SAS detail protecting them and their retinue around the clock at the UK taxpayer's expense.

I heard on radio this morning, that we aren't as exposed as other European nations if this goes ahead, as UK gets most of its gas and oil from North Sea and Norway.

Can this guy still get the deal he mentioned on Question Time?

With our strikers I’m sure their defence doesn’t need any help…

I nearly gave you a dislike for reminding me of the existence of this c*nt and others like him.

"At the time it was reported that Poland had taken 800,000 refugees, the UK had accepted a mere 50. Which, to put things into perspective, is half the number of people you’d invite to a Downing Street bring-your-own-bottle party in the middle of a lockdown. Outraged by this dated inaccuracy, the Home Office yesterday corrected the record to show that a whole 300 visas had now been granted to fleeing Ukrainians. Which is three BYOB guestlists, and a mere 2.7% of the number of refugees who arrived in Berlin last Friday alone."

There is a right wing feeling that refugees don't need to come here; they just need to get to the nearest safe place from where they were. So, if they get to Poland, say, then that's it. Job done. Made it to safety. 

And if they are in Poland and want to keep going, there are loads of countries between there and the UK they can stay.

This is the thinking that this government is appeasing and supporting. 

300 visas, FFS.

Only about 5% was the figure I saw a fortnight ago.  As per f**k knows on accuracy. 

It's the indirect fall out which will hit us hardest as prices will rocket and supply will be curtailed. so basically Norway will now be expected to supply Germany and France etc as well as ourselves which will cause a huge spike in prices and impact on availability.

You have to question the state of UK politics when the likes of Johnson, Patel and Truss are the PM, Home Secretary and Foreign Secretary. It’s embarrassing that these people are representing us on the world stage.

I liked the "summit of world leaders" consisting of Canada and the Netherlands. Confirming our relegation from the premier division. 

You know that Johnson waited until they were all in the room to explain that America would have been there but something came up, Germany was snowed at work and France couldn't get a babysitter.

Never look a gift horse in the mouth. We should absolutely be forcing this game to go ahead while their defence is massively distracted...
