Do you have evidence of this ? If not, don't post stuff like this.

It's bad meme like source, but the story was published by a number of major newspapers yesterday in the UK.

The poor Russian police must be having to arrest hundreds of peaceful protesters every night.

Except these will have been arrested already - a few nights ago.

Won’t accept my email address ?

Did you manage? I think you can donate withpout giving an email address.

Scanning the QR code should do it.

Done and thank you.

Thanks clapham. Much appreciated.

Sorry if already mentioned, but has there been much of a movement yet to stop shops selling Russian products yet? Vodka being the obvious one.
Surely bars and supermarkets should be switching to Polish suppliers?

Crude and refined oil are the biggest items the UK buys from Russia; stop driving!

Hopefully the Fatherland will stop propping up the Ruble.

I saw the timestamp.

Are you trying to tell us that the protests are no longer happening?

Guys, however well intended, please do not link pictures or videos you have found of prisoners of war. These videos are in breach of the Geneva Convention.

Not only that, if the prisoner can now be identified in his homeland. Some may argue that 'it's out there already', That's not the point.

If what he says is voluntary, then he is at risk. If what he has said is forced- then that contravenes another part of the convention and its coverage is illegal.

Just think.

Surely Russia and China need a functioning west to prosper, but presumably they'd prefer one over which they had more power.

Give it 20 years and China won’t have to worry about that.

Assume it was directed at me so I’ve done so already

Brilliant, just brilliant, I have now done this to about 20 places in St Petersburg, restaurants, stake park, shops lol

Great stuff - thank you for following up on it. It's something isn't it...better than just wringing our hands. I will bash away at some more tomorrow .

Thanks [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] and NSC. Amazing response to our appeal and lots of BHA fans and forum members donating. Very humbling. Total stands at £1765.



My wife has a Telegram group with family and friends in Ukraine and Russia. They communicate every morning and evening. Check that they are all ok and share their stories.
For the last 3 nights there have been attempted amphibious landings in Odessa but none thankfully have been successful. The ships now seem to have gone but they dont know where to.
There is definitely a change in attitude amongst some of the Pro Russian Ukrainians. They are starting to question what is going on, but it is difficult for them to admit the truth after the years of propoganda.
A friend from Moscow was complaining that she can no longer buy anything online as her cards arent accepted and there are queues at banks to access their money. Not sure if they blame Putin or the West for that one though.

Please don't think I was having a go, as I don't think for one minute it was linked in malice.

They are turning up everywhere, and even Facebook doesn't seem to care.

Tell Sky the BBC and ITV

That's me told!!!

Sorry - wasn't meant like that.

I'd been thinking the same thing myself earlier today - aside from gas and oil - which are quite notable, I appreciate - do we get much from Russia?
