[Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

[Neville's Breakfast]

Any evidence of that other than Patel’s disproven propaganda tweet?

Further announcement ‘coming soon.’

Let’s not pre judge. It’s not helpful.

Why do you feel the need for lies.

What lies?

This from the home office linked to the tweet you quoted.

“In updated guidance, the Home Office said the UK has "multiple official visa routes available for Ukrainians who are not dependants of British nationals".
The guidance says they can apply through a British consulate in the Ukrainian city of Lviv or a neighbouring country, such Hungary, Poland, or Romania.”

I was calling for NO OFFICIAL VISA routes because ALL Ukrainian refugees should not require a visa to enter this Country.

You’ve made yourself look like a …………….

AGAIN!

Get off your high horse.

You see the ‘political’ in everything. I’m sick of your self righteous hollier than thou posts. You are one of the least helpful posters on here.

I’ve not pre judged anything, I was commenting on the Government’s position NOW. Not tomorrow or ‘soon’. Why is that so difficult to get your head around. Jesus.

Give your head a wobble FFS.

man enough to apologise......................or.................................?

thought not

 

[Poojah]

you've heard of bin laden?

I have, yes. That said, I’m not sure what he’s got to do with Russia’s failed invasion of Afghanistan in the 70s, or Russia’s failure to use nuclear weapons against the west as a result of said failed invasion.

To get this back on a sensible track; do you see the prospects of Putin using nuclear weapons following a NATO military intervention as realistic?

I won’t get drawn and await the truth/clarification

 

[Igzilla]

The FA will boycott matches against Russia at any level.

There isn’t any proof. That’s why.

You could just read this but I’ve got you down as someone who believes that the BBC speaks as much truth as the Russian media so I won’t hold my breath.

I should think so. So should all governing bodies of all sports

Bit late to the party on this one Oswald. She's under pressure internally to change her stance.

And STILL FIFA haven’t chucked them out. Pisspoor even for them. Soon a decision will need making and either they kick out Russia or Poland for refusing to play Russia.

We’re arming and providing intelligence to Ukrainian forces now. The tipping point is official military intervention.

FIFA ? Do what’s morally correct ?Or what’s fiscally beneficial ?
Hmmmmm double headed coin used in that coin toss

Not sure I understand the pant wetting over this. FIFA will get there but I guess making sure it’s all done correctly so can’t be reversed through any legal process that might occur

Why do you?

It's a no brainer we should be accepting them with open arms they are fleeing a madman from a warzone.
MP suggesting they should get a Visa via fruit picking totally out of order. Maybe he should spend time under bombardment

 

[Springal]

I stand corrected …. Disappointing decision by FIFA

BREAKING: FIFA bans international competitions in Russia, players to participate under the name "Football Union of Russia"

Like Putin, FIFA know teams wont do anything drastic like pulling out of WC

 

[Springal]

So Poland, Czechs & Sweden all still refuse to play ‘RFU’ - then what ? Russians get a bye to Qatar ? FIFA will get there eventually but again showing themselves up for what they are

That’s a ‘bye’ into the World Cup finals for them as I can’t see the likes of Poland agreeing to play the “Football Union of Russia”.

Completely predictable from FIFA.
