Looks like levelling up Britian has some teeth at last... Bloody foreigners, I mean nice people from other places with money.I

Well RIP me

Really annoying me that pro-Russian people are trying to justify all this by pointing at NATOs intervention in Kosovo. I have quite a few Albanian friends who had to leave Kosovo to avoid being massacred for no reason by the Yugoslavian army.

Northampton scraping in there. Are they just going to bomb London?

I'm hoping they have Rondonov on targeting duty for the UK. All missiles skied off and finding the Atlantic.

Well at least Slough and Luton would be incinerated

Would cause millions of pounds worth of improvement.

TBF I’d also hope that questions start to be asked about one foreign owner of numerous media outlets, who has spent most of the last forty years busily sowing division across the UK and US, attacking the bonds that keep us together and raising hatred in our societies (whilst getting personally rich off it). Both our countries are worse places politically because of him.

I mean, if it turned out he was doing it at the behest of a foreign regime would anyone really be surprised?

We don't really need the foreign power hypothesis to explain the observation when, by Occam's Razor, greed will do. But I wouldn't be surprised if that turned out to be true.

An acquaintance of mine from university is a photographer who has been living and working in Ukraine for years now. Very talented guy.
Here’s a link to his work if you’re interested. His most up-to-date pictures are on Instagram (no clue how to link that)

Brendan Hoffman • War in Ukraine

After protests in Kyiv drove President Viktor Yanukovych from power in February 2014, eastern Ukraine was convulsed by a Russian-inspired and Russian-backed insurgency that evolved into a full-fledged war centered in the provinces of Donetsk and Luhansk, an industrial region known as Donbas.

While it’s improved, there’s still a lot of tension that leads directly back to then and before. In ‘99/00, it was genuinely like the Wild West over there.

In a place called Vushtri (Vučitrn) it was particularly violent with a massacre; on a normal day, you’d hear multiple explosions and shootings.

They local Serbs had a particular love of using anti tank munitions on the houses of women and children, even after we/KFOR arrived.

On the bright side that's 7 teams in the PL, 6 of them ahead of us.. puts us in 9th.

7 PL teams obliterated from the face of the earth and we move up to 9th. What a time to be alive

As I understand, the Serbs still believe they did nothing wrong in Kosovo or Bosnia. I get into arguments with them all the time on Reddit when they start using the 'both sides' argument.

Yup, got a couple of good friends who were made refugees via that crisis. We're sadly likely to see similar here.

Oh no, I use 'London' Luton Airport quite regularly for my sins. Maybe put up a blast shield so the fallout gets Milton Keynes well and truly?
