WHERE ARE WE?

More oligarchs, including Abramovich, have been sanctioned. Why the delay, and who else is on the list after they have cleared out their belongings? Will tories pass on donations which they must have known were tainted when they received them, or they were very stupid!

ENERGY

Europe and in particular Germany have found themselves in a dire situation by relying on Russian oil and gas. Germany has also closed environmentally unfriendly coal mines and after Fukushima ran down their nuclear programme. I have heard rumours of some dodgy deals done regarding the pipeline with Russia, and previous German Government officials.

CALLOUS AND NASTY

Our compassion for refugees was shredded by Brexit and the narrative of the Daily Mail, Express, Telegraph. A Conservative party that has moved towards UKIP in a cynical move to win votes has no place for empathy or sympathy and certainly not charitable actions.

JUBILEE

I received 2 flyers this morning telling me to buy tickets and a wristband with dates £2 by 26March; £5 by 1June and £10 2 June and at gate. I will leave them to discuss the Daily Mail and the tribunes of royal paedophiles and misfits. I will work on a republican menu for the day.

CORRUPT

So the government is giving companies 30 days to get funds out before sanctions, oligarchs get 6 months and they have inserted a clause that individuals maybe exempt if ‘it is in the interests of the economic well being of the UK”. In simple economic terms it is not in our interests to impose sanctions at all – corruption on an industrial scale.

GLOBALISATION

There have been many benefits from globalisation. My world is very different and mainly better than the world I was born into. This is also true across the world with the % living in poverty way below that of 50 years ago. However with benefits have come detriments. The lack of regulation that benefits trade has also meant the development of economies based on unicorns and fairies.

SUNDAY – 6 MARCH 2022

Sad that now Covid seems to have at least been contained we have 2 horrors in our faces. Will Putin do what our then Defence Secretary suggested and “go away and shut up”. And the twat gets a knighthood! I guess that I have never said anything that stupid – or I would be in the “House of Lords and Russian donors to the Conservative party”.

And then another prat called Farage says we should ignore green agenda. Nice timing Nige, encourage everyone to use more Russian oil and gas. I am reminded of the reply from Ukrainian Border Guards to the appearance of a Russian warship “Go f**k yourself”. How is Farage even allowed to have his comments on the BBC?
