I'm out. Come on, there isn't so much hatred here. Really, is there? I will be nice to you. Most people will. The codes might be thoughtless but we are not. We think about it lots! Try to start a tribe with men who identify as women or vice versa. Try testing the most basic needs that the few last remaining families on Earth have to enable themselves to replicate without inbreeding. I promise you they will exchange their offspring in the most possibly positive manner to enable further procreation. I promise. Men cannot create eggs, menstruate, house fertilisation, grow a child, deliver it, breast-feed, and pass on knowledge like women do. We men are just all your girls' guests and we should be thankful for it. And you can't start a tribe with people who are not willing. End of. Will never work despite the clap trap we (don't) choose to see on TV etc.

Bit like a bloke in a lady's swimming costume.

Haven't dared catch a glimpse of her bum but judging by her chest it must be very feminine.

Can I take a moment to get back to Lia Thomas herself please? I just wanted to say she has wonderfully attractive shoulders and a very pretty neck. Seriously, a beautiful woman. Thank you.

Seems that there's little stopping anyone getting over the border at Romania, Hungary, Slovakia and Poland. There are two Romanian borders, and then another with Moldova. Though I'd probably avoid Transnistria. And Belarus obviously. I could care less what Truss says. Even if she had a good sense of geography I wouldn't care what she said.

We've done well without gas for tens of thousands of years.

PS This discussion can indeed involve fighters leaving the UK and elsewhere to support the cause.

We shouldn't be using gas anyway. No one should.

It will likely involve casualties of young Russians who don't know why they're there. My womenfolk here at home will determine whether I go.

Jan Pieńkowski - great children's book author. Died several days ago. Just realised.

Maria Zakharova has just made a nice comment involving Swedish and Finnish NATO accession. These people running Russia must be totally paranoid. And they're right to be paranoid too, because they can't stop lying. And they lie because they are thieves.

Salvini, Erdogan, Zeman and Orban have all condemned the present actions of Putin. We all have our differences but when it comes to the crunch (in this case a regime willing to kill to anyone if it suits it) remember that most of us agree on most things most of the time. Not sure about what Donald said though. See you next Tuesday.

The Pope's about as much use as tits on a fish. If he really gives a hoot he should go directly to Putin and give him a thorough whipping. On the telly.

PS If anyone's interested in further angles on this then Nikolai Tolstoy is talking about the Russia-Ukraine conflict at the Royal Geographical Society from 7pm to 8.30pm on Tuesday 22nd March with drinks beforehand; proceeds to go to orphans in Russia and Georgia. I'm going (but shan't be drinking). https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/nikolai-tolstoy-on-the-history-behind-the-russia-and-ukraine-conflict-tickets-269633118917

And Dugin fans (or not) will know: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleksandr_Dugin#Stance_on_Ukraine_and_role_in_Russian_politics

The US sanctions are naff as well. As for the gas for Germany et al - I don't think Putin will flinch. It can be kept, forgotten, or sold to someone else. The Russian regime will not care! Sanctions didn't work last time and these delicate pats on Putin's head certainly won't work this time. Does anyone think that freezing the assets of a few individuals (or even a few thousand) will do anything at all? The regime can reimburse them anyway...
