I'm just not having people compare this (admittedly daft in a lot of senses) new bill in the UK with what goes on in Putin's Russia, mate!
Indeed. Czech GDP per capita is now certainly higher than Spain and possibly even Italy. That has come about in large part due to EU membership, and while the government over the years might have used Brussels as a convenient scapegoat, there is never really any desire to go back to the dark days under Soviet occupation.
It was created in the 40s because of the Soviet Union, yes.
But when the Soviet Union crumbled, Russia could have joined NATO and it's been reported that Putin wanted to but he didn't want to have to go through the same application process as any other country would.

OI still find this whole thing surreal and as ex forces it is really bothering me, I wish we could help militarily against this fascist dictator, never thought we'd see this again after WW2. We need to stop electing old men into power across the world, people with modern ideas need to be elected.

AN ESCALATION of the Russian-Ukrainian war to involve other global powers will involve mass destruction through nuclear weapons, Russia's Foreign Minister has said.

Always thought politicians should adhere to retirement age like the rest of the population.
This is not the time for the states to have a president who is nearing 80.
As it happened: Zelensky asks Putin for talks as humanitarian crisis grows
Meanwhile the Russian president insists his invasion is "going to plan", despite only taking one major city.

Jailed Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny has posted a strongly-worded series of tweets calling for daily demonstrations across Russia and beyond.
Navalny has spent a year behind bars after surviving a poison attack that he blames on the Kremlin. Last month he went on trial on fresh charges that could see his prison time extended by more than a decade.
"We - Russia - want to be a nation of peace. Alas, few people would call us that now," he writes from the maximum-security prison east of Moscow where he is imprisoned.
But Russians should "at least not become a nation of frightened silent people" who "pretend not to notice the war".
"It's the third decade of the 21st Century, and we are watching news about people burning down in tanks and bombed houses," he says. "We are watching real threats to start a nuclear war on our TVs."
When Johnson starts locking up and poisoning political opponents, then we can start comparing the UK to Russia.

Well from the little we've seen so far, people are speaking out and that should be commended
