Still no sign of UK sanctions against Russian oligarchs, yet more 'blusterism' empty rhetoric from a PM who reckons the UK is ''leading the way'', meanwhile France and Germany have actually been seizing assets. All this delay is doing is giving the oligarch's time to 'tidy up' and move their assets...

Around the time Truss said that it was ok for UK citizens to fight in Ukraine, I read somewhere that it was illegal for UK nationals to fight in a war/conflict that didn't involve the UK. Later the Gov seemed to back this up by stating that UK nationals shouldn't fight in Ukraine. If you're not a UK national then this of course doesn't apply...

If the Council can't be bothered or afford to maintain planters, then they should allow local residents, especially those that live in gardenless homes, to 'adopt' a neglected planter such as this, I'm sure they'd do a much better job of maintaining an all-year round display for everyone to appreciate...

It's an 'alert', not a threat to use them, it's what you would expect from a bully, ''I've got nukes'' etc. This shows that the economic sanctions will work. Better news is that Ukraine and Russia have agreed to hold talks on the Belarussian border...

Welcome to shameless Brexit Britain, or not as the case may be... Yvette Cooper Tweeting Priti Patel: Right that Immigration Minister has deleted tweet saying Ukrainians can come pick UK fruit. But still no answers from @pritipatel to my Qs. Problem remains. Home Office is restricting Ukrainians to current visas with high hurdles & delays. That?s not sanctuary, it?s shameful

You carry on convincing yourself Cat. Shameless...

Shameless...

Thousands of innocent women and children being blown out of their homes by an illegal invasion, and someone wants to deflect the conversation onto a pro-Putin hypothetical that it wouldn't have happened under Trump. Sigh all you want Cat, you're shameless...

We know what you are...

''Just becuase you are incapable of being a neutral or objective observer. Please don't assume others cannot.'' If only that were true, if only. Over the years I've learnt that with Cat's posts it's not so much about what he writes, but why he writes, today's gambit being a perfect example. We know what you are...

Not officially Spring yet, but a very Spring-like day at last...

What a world we live in where the Taliban have more of a moral compass than Nigel Farage and his ilk when it comes to the illegal invasion of Ukraine. For GB News, read KGB News...

Comrade Cat has finally flipped...:)

Boris Johnson announces U.K. will be providing more military aid to Ukraine including defensive weapons and non-lethal aid. That's code for a job lot of Band-Aid, a dozen peashooters, a couple of catapults and a spud gun...

A reminder that there are mid-week games tonight and tomorrow night...

Pray for the uber-Brexiters in the coming weeks who will get into all sorts of contortions and convolutions as they try and justify an illegal Russian invasion of an independent sovereign nation that just happens to be pro-EU. Seems the 'will of the people' only applies to their own causes...
