  1. I watched a video of a father being murdered in front of his son yesterday, by Russian criminal soldiers. I realise that, sometimes, there really are worse things than dying. Die standing up? Or live on your knees? I’ve written to my representative, demanding we eject all oligarchs and take all their houses all over Britain (especially London) to pay for the Ukrainian war effort. And we’ve sent money to Ukraine too. We are selling our second car (This has been the push we needed for that) and giving half of the money from that to Ukraine (through our consulate and not just any scam, “charity,” that springs out of Putin’s criminality) and keeping the rest to pay for petrol price rises. We are privileged enough to be able to do these things. But we can ALL do something! Especially emailing your politicians. The letters do stack up. They can’t hide from us all on Election Day. ✌️

  3. But I’m impressed by their sheer courage. The hearts of lions. Putin will find Ukraine ungovernable, or rubble . . . Or ungovernable rubble. Absolutely no one is falling for his propaganda. It’s an armed robbery, pure and simple. The equivalent of burning down a rival business’s factory, before they can compete on the open market. Shell, Exxon and BP says Ukraine has more gas and oil (completely untapped) than Russia does. But that’s NOT a coincidence, right?

  4.  @Токаев-изменникродины-т3и  : Ukraine has bigger gas and oil reserves than Russia, according to Shell, Exxon and BP, who bought the rights to develop it and make Ukraine a wealthy powerhouse. Putin has prevented any development, first in Crimea, then the Donbas region. Now they’ve confirmed the biggest reserves yet, by the Carpathian Mountains, in the West of Ukraine, where Putin can’t reach without stealing the whole country. He doesn’t want to develop the sights himself. He wants to ensure that NO ONE does. In other words, this in an armed robbery; pure and simple. To prevent a democracy from competing with Russia’s economy on the open market. Like burning down your rival’s factory. Pure mafia stuff, by a TINY group of Kremlin Kleptocrats, many of whom were not even kept inside Putin’s loop. Putin has to go now. Before any kind of, “normality,” can be resumed. And our Tory government helped enable this. Time for them to go too.
