Could this be a calculated move by Putin to get the US to follow up on its threat to walk away? Highlight that even a 24 hour ceasefire isn’t viable by announcing one then immediately violating it. Just seems like intentional silly buggers (which I know is standard)

Zelenskyy mentioned the Russians are building up new forces for a summer offensive. A ceasefire now allows Russia to finish that without the Ukrainians blasting everything to shit with FPV drones.

This quote: Not that it prevents a deal being done, but I’ve not seen this mentioned before and thought it interesting.

One World (Not Three) - The Police

What is wrong with some of these people? Someone (Blue Labour?) wants Starmer to be like Trump with the media, just saying any old shit regardless of whether it’s true. Have they seen what Trump is doing?! We’ve already had a big dose of this with Boris and Lettuce Liz...

Couple of interesting notes related to various posts above: 1) Minerals deal - I saw in a report today that one of the sticking points with the US-Ukraine deal was a clash with an earlier EU-Ukraine minerals deal. Edit: see this link 2) Finland - reminded me of this Le Monde video on...

A part of me thinks that would be a good thing. He’s not going to send any more aid regardless. Best that he f*** off and focus on getting beaten up by Chaina (as me to the list of “never thought I’d say this” people). Europe can deal with it.

Don’t forget that tax exemption you promised me :thumbsup:

I read the other day that Antonio Salazar was replaced as prime minister of Portugal because he was in a coma after suffering a stroke. When he came out of the coma a month later, nobody bothered to inform him of this and he lived the last two years of his life geniunely believing he was still...

Undoubtedly, I’ll leave you to work on it.

I had the same thought yesterday when I saw the video of his wife speaking. He’s from El Salvador and fled there age 16 to escape gang violence.

Some people can't support their club for toffee. I guess he can suck on that for a while? (Other toffee puns are available)

As per, you are entirely free to think I am shortsighted and ignorant, but you seem to be terrified very easily. Perhaps one day I will "wake up". In the meantime, have you ever read about international law and human rights, or looked at what the UDHR or ECHR say? I have, so maybe come back at...

I'm responding in simplistic terms because your logic is highly simplistic and demonstrates that you don't know what you're talking about. What you're advocating for contravenes the fundamental essence of human rights, starting with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, to our own domestic...

Yes, but it’s not illegal is it?! This is why we have laws, so that people with unorthodox or extreme beliefs can’t just do as they wish without consequence. And no, the system is not perfect, far from it. But it applies equally to an immigrant or a born-and-bred UK citizen. Which is why the...

You mentioned you’re abroad, was that when the problem started or was it working after you travelled?

I thought this was interesting as well, it shows that eyes are open to where things are heading. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/apr/16/uk-officials-trade-documents-secret-trump-tariff-security
