I truly think what Putin fears the most is a fully functioning healthy democracy on his doorstep in Ukraine

As Peter Tatchell points out, STW have previous when it comes to covert support for Putin and Russia...


When we stood in solidarity with #Syria's democrats against Russian imperialism in 2016, Stop the War did NOT condemn #Russia's terror bombing of civilians in #Aleppo & other Syrian cities. They called us "agents of US imperialism"

So what. Tatchell doesn't represent any body apart from Tatchell.


I still haven't seen any evidence to suggest STW are pro Russian, quite the opposite.


Don't forget we were happy to bomb Syria.

Thanks for the separate conversation, I took a look at what the left and right are saying, and some of the (probable) conspiracy theorists. Nothing makes this right, even if there is an ounce of justification.


Someone put it to me, what if you got a Marxist anti-American government in Mexico, who started posturing and siding with the 'wrong' countries. How long would it take for the US to step in. It didn't take the West long to step into Kuwait, and then subsequently invade a sovereign state with a dictator that the West had propped up (Iraq). Of course they had oil, rather than the largest nuclear arsenal in the world.


Anyway some thoughts rather than gospel.

A look at STW's website this morning and it has 4 'leading articles', 2 of which are pointing the finger at NATO being the cause for the war in Ukraine.


Just as important and telling is what someone doesn't say as well as what they say.


And that was Tatchell's point, STW are quick to denounce/blame the West/NATO but say very little or nothing when it comes to Russia, preferring instead to chime out hackneyed excuses about it being NATO's fault/Western imperialism etc...

"A look at STW's website this morning and it has 4 'leading articles', 2 of which are pointing the finger at NATO being the cause for the war in Ukraine."


Again so what?


That doesn't mean STW is pro Putin or pro Russia, just against all war's in what ever country and for what ever reason.

News cycle obviously being dominated by Queen/King events, but what's going on in Ukraine in recent days is incredible, Ukraine taking back control of territory from the Russkis at an unprecedented rate. This video is already out of date...

 

Absolutely

    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
    • Nope, I'd just get on with my day and forget about it. And I wouldn't report them on the basis that they might spill my coffee in the future.  However the OP seems to think that this young woman is deliberately pushing her bell, slamming her gate etc, having repeatedly been asked not to. I'd wager the woman is a bit pee'd off and there's a bit of a stand-off going on. Best course of action is to go out, take the parcel, smile sweetly, say hello, tell her you hope she's having a nice day / staying cool etc, in a way that comes across as genuine and not pass-agg,  and to let it diffuse. Might find it calms down a bit.  But I like the girl hate the idea of her being denigrated on here when she works so hard. 
    • So of you're in a coffee shop and the barista is rude to you you wouldn't complain as long as you had received your coffee? 
    • OP, you've got to relax a bit. Multidrop delivery is a total nightmare and the delivery drivers are woefully underpaid. We as a society all want to order stuff online and for it to be delivered quickly and cheaply. The square gets circled by allowing companies like Evri to have sham contracting arrangements. None of this is your fault OP but the delivery person is just trying to get through their workload as quickly as possible. Delivery is not, historically, an industry with large profit margins. “The only way it can be profitable is if you underpay the person who is the courier, by not treating them as an employee, by not paying taxes, by not paying their insurance, by refusing to give them sick pay or cover them if they have an accident or train them,” says Prof Annabelle Gawer, the director of the Centre of Digital Economy at the University of Surrey. “That is where the ‘savings’ are coming from.” https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/mar/01/the-hidden-life-of-a-courier-13-hour-days-rude-customers-and-big-dreams
