RE: Johnson watch activated - the nightmare begins for the UK!! - 0762 - 27-02-2022
Now the German Chancellor, Scholz, just announcing in the German Bundestag that Germany is re-arming as well as sending arms/ordnance to assist Ukraine's military defence!! After all these years, over 7 decades after WWII, what a pivotal moment in Euro politics!! And amazingly Germany "flying the NATO flag" in a defence of democracy and other associated NATO countries that are under threat from Russia.

Maybe a European Army might not have been such a bad idea after all ?

Not if Liz Truss opens her big mouth (allegedly). And if Ukraine is allowed to walk in to the EU, it not only opens a can of worms for the likes of Scotland/UK, but it also involves the EU in the war against Russia. A veritable minefield to negotiate for politicians with a tendency to engage mouth before brain.

FIFA, UEFA and even the British Government finally wake up and smell the coffee.
BBC News - Ukraine crisis: Fifa and Uefa ban all Russian clubs and national teams

Yep! FIFA and UEFA (+ Brit govt) finally "brought into line" by other member countries/associations who are not tolerating any of this namby pamby stuff/"sitting on the fence" that they've been "getting away with" for years. At long last, a lotta principled members taking a solid, uncompromising stance on the issue!! Well done!
Also re Liz Truss, it's time she either "left the building" or stopped trying to be a smart arse playing petty political games and realised the serious nature of what is unfolding in Ukraine and the serious political implications/threats that could follow on from there!!
RE: Johnson watch activated - the nightmare begins for the UK!! - theo_luddite - 28-02-2022
As said before, Bodgit's cabinet haven't an ounce of political tact, diplomacy, talent aka nouse between them.
Any MP's (or would be MP's) that had he got rid of or parked on the back benches just for voting Remain.
As each crisis comes along the fact that they are out of their depth in the shallow end of the paddling pool just becomes more apparent by the minute.

I take back my comment about the British Government, they still aren't doing the right thing regarding refugees.
RE: Johnson watch activated - the nightmare begins for the UK!! - hibeejim21 - 01-03-2022
Telling that Farage and Trump are still backing their mate Putin, meanwhile the EU is standing tall against the Russians. Some amazing speeches in their parliament today including from Ukraines president. We are left on the sidelines with a Churchill tribute act. We need to get our seat at the table back and play our part.
Brexit supporters have been useful idiots enabling these arseholes to run amok.....Today is what real sovereignty is about, not red tape or putting a crown on a xxxx pint glass.
RE: Johnson watch activated - the nightmare begins for the UK!! - theo_luddite - 01-03-2022
Bodgit looked like a rabbit with his eyes caught in the headlights today when a Ukrainian journalist stood up and asked him some pretty basic questions about wtf he was doing that mattered. Thank fook he didn't go into full on Kermit the Frog or Peppa Pig mode again but it was as clear as day he hadn't a ferkin clue how to answer her properly.
Just goes to show that over here he knows all the questions coming his way in advance at press meetings and PM Question Time and can rehearse the answers (or, as usual complete and utter bollox) in advance.

It would also seem Liz Truss's comments had Putin reaching for his nuclear arsenal.
One instance where i can sympathise with him.

They wont, because their post brexit laws are intended to do the opposite to whats needed right now.
It's why Raab got in such a mess explaining it on SKY earlier, Peace or War time they do not want them here.
