Will sanctions be taken against Abramovich after a leaked document showed him to have links to the Russian Government and corrupt activity and practises. He owns Chelsea FC and a £150m home. Quite how he could be stripped of ownership is beyond me, and where does the line get drawn between state and football club ownership – Manchester City, Newcastle United? Manchester United also have a £40 million sponsorship deal with banned Russian airline Aeroflot.

Will the Conservative party (and others if involved) pay any donations from Russians to a fund for Ukrainian refugees?

Banning the sale of Russian dolls?

What plans are being made for us to welcome Ukrainian refugees?

So sad to see the UK descend to such low levels of governance. The Royal Family with their medals look like parodies for a “Carry on” film. Rees-Dogg acts like a Bertie Wooster film character beyond ridicule in the 21st century. Other cabinet ministers fall over themselves in their haste to make ridiculous statements.

Foie gras and fur products to be allowed to be imported under new legislation. So much for protecting animal welfare standards. Another triumph for Sleaze-Dogg and the rabid hounds of the right.

3 PEOPLE AND 5 BANKS ARE IDENTIFIED AND SANCTIONED. What a joke! Did they not donate enough?

Putin makes a move. In some ways quite astute. He just visibly taking control of what he already controlled by proxy. What the West does now is difficult to gauge. Sanctions could provoke further expansion of Russian forces into the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. It is likely that Putin wants some resistance to enable him to send further troops in. By stating that Ukraine is not a country he can deny lying when he said he would not invade it (From the Johnson book of lies- p734).

I am nearly 70 and am part of a blessed generation (at least people like me were – I know many were not).
