Beginning to think that Russia's permanent seat on the UN security council should be handed over to Anonymous.

On an issue of zero importance to anyone at all except me, can people please stop saying 'tow', and 'towing' the line? It's 'toe', and 'toeing', as in put your foot up to the line at the start of a race, or something. It's only a small thing, but just irks me somehow. Sorry for inflicting this bit of trivia on everyone.

Anyone know any pro Russia propaganda news outlets?

Everything is blocked on you tube and play store.

And to add insult to injury I'm being peppered with propaganda channels like BBC channel 4, sky etc.

What a free democracy i live in. North Korea are getting a run for thier Won currency.

If anyone knows how to get the propaganda from otherside let me know.

Genuine question: what's your opinion on Al Jazeera? I personally feel that it doesn't harbour the same bias that BBC, C4, CNN or sky do.

+1 for this.

Another common one at the moment is people "asking for advise". It's ADVICE, ffs.

Ticked off by people ignoring the reality of a serious situation in exchange for fairytales and the occasional small piece of good news that does nothing to affect Putins war machine overall... it's a bummer you choose to see it the way you do. And barring NATO stepping in, it's not my opinion, it's fact.

Until it happens, it's NOT fact. It's opinion.

Yours *appears* to be informed by a simple enough rule: if the Russian narrative says one thing and the Ukrainian one says another, the Russian one must be true.

I have, in previous posts, given my OPINION on why we seem to see more reports of Russian military difficulties along the Kyiv to Kharkiv front and more indications of Russian military gains around / between Crimea and Donbass - doesn't mean my conclusion is a fact.

Seeing all the brexiteers saying that there is no space for Ukrainian refugees makes me feel sick. This corrupt Tory government and their racist followers have a lot to answer to.

The least we can do is allow any Ukranian into the UK. It's not difficult.

Similarly of zero importance, my car broke down the other day and I needed a toe.
Fortunately, I had a decent toeing line in the boot.

Well, it was here that I originally saw the issue that pushed me over the edge into actually saying something, and now the English thing has sorta got out of hand. I'm sure nobody intends any disrespect to the victims of the war, or contributors on here who are very upset at what's going on.
