So you are happy to condemn the actions of the Russian army in Ukraine - but not the atrocities committed by the British Army - fair enough - says it all really.

Excellent, well done!
Have you spoken to Asda and the like re donations? Tesco support local charities and whilst I have not heard anything from them re local collections for Ukraine, it may well be worth asking.

People should take note of the now hundreds of reports of both Ukrainian and Polish border guards battering people of colour out off the queues of refugees attempting to escape Ukraine - physically battering them with clubs and iron bars - men, women and children. Not surprising given the known role of fascist elements within the Ukrainian military and the racist anti-immigrant policies of the Polish government.

Generally I like to hear all views, but flat earthers and RT I can live without.
He said nothing of the sort, just told you to **** off, that's all. I think you're reading too much in to what just might be a common sentiment.

If its any consolation I spent the whole of yesterday helping in our local town hall where we were sorting stuff that was being donated by the locals. The flow of individuals was constant bringing everything from second hand clothes and blankets etc to brand new items people had purchased to bring along.
There were also lots of food stuffs, baby milks toothbrushes etc. We boxed up everything
and four large van loads were dispatched to a nearby hub which was collating everything from the local communities for onward transmission to Southampton. This was then to be further moved into articulated vehicles for onward dispatch to the Ukraine/Polish border.
This went on for 3 days in our small town alone. Assuming the rest of the country and others are following a similar process then hopefully this will go some way to helping the war effort for the people at the sharp end. I have to say I was quite up lifted by the enormous response from the public in what was a relentless procession of people bringing goods.
Depending on how things progress it is likely this will happen again in the near future and as long as it is required by those in need

She has not directly as far as I can tell, but a tweet I saw made it seem like it was an act of UK, and she phrased it like this in the HoC.
"As part of a concerted effort and discussions, Russia Today is no longer streamed into British homes, either by TV, Sky, Freesat or Freeview," she told the House of Commons on Thursday.

Not overtly claiming it, but makes it seem as though she was involved in the "concerted effort and discussions" maybe she was, but I suspect she would have claimed it more forcefully if she had.
Either way, surely it plays into Russian hands in the sense that they can say that the west is censoring the ‘truth’. Who in the UK was watching it anyway?

Where did I can anyone a racist or a nazi?
I have repeatedly condemned the actions of Putin and his regime - I am just calling out the hypocrisy of NATO and the EU.
Seconded. He is a boring anti English, Oyrish know-it-all. Get rid please mods.Mods, any chance we can ban this guy? At least from this thread?

May I ask how expensive it is to get this to Poland, where it's needed? I was shocked to see a van being loaded in Leeds, which they said would cost £2k to get to the refugees. They went on to say it was better for people to donate money, rather than items, which could be spent locally, rather than driven such a long way.

I am happy to condemn any atrocities of the British Army, but not on this thread.

There is a precedent for that - Fanta was created by the German branch of Coca Cola in 1940 when the US trade embargo at the time cut off supplies of cola syrup. Coca Cola regained control of their German branch after the war and with it the new product which they later reinvented to what we know today.
I am a long way from been a cosy Tory but but so boring hearing from so many that just want to criticise government in such a difficult situation
Yeah when you're bored of whinging about the British military, you're talking as if Ukrainian racism is the big problem here.
You say that but they aren't doing the right thing by coming down hard on Russian oligarchs out of pure self interest. It's pretty disgusting.
That's the only thing I've criticised them for on this thread and I don't see why it shouldn't be highlighted.
Looks like you've just proved his point. Just can't let it go, even in times like this, eh?
