Assault on Kiev: Russian helicopters swoop above Ukraine's capital
baboon replied to Chris.B's topic in The War in Ukraine
Correct, including your borders. And 70% of your population live in European Russia, so good luck with the threats. Remind your little fascist bullyboy boss of that fact. -
Mikhail Gorbachev, Soviet president who took down the Iron Curtain, dies
baboon replied to Scott's topic in World News
I see Putin will not be attending the funeral. What a classy guy. -

Sir, ALL of us. We can fight elsewhere to our heart's content. Why not just pause, pay our respects to a Great Statesman, then take our quarrels elsewhere. -

Can we all show Mr. Gorbachev and his memory a bit of repect by not going at it on this thread? Just for once? -

I remember watching a BBC interview with the elderly Gorbachev. They asked if Putin ever consulted him. Gorbachev snorted "He knows everything. Why would he talk to me?" I am sad he has gone, but at least he will sleep next to his beloved wife in Novodevichy cemetery, which is a lovely spot. Let us all raise a glass in his memory tonight. It is thanks to the likes of him we are alive to do so. -
Government Dismisses Rumors About Cabinet Reshuffle, House Dissolution
baboon replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I couldn't agree more, but how to actually organise that? Plus the death toll could be horrifying if the military are prepared to kill as many people as it takes to stay in power. And remember the 'safety valve' is no longer there. -

And averse to being butchered like animals on the street by those who are supposedly there to protect them. -
Turkey was just a country I plucked from my a$$. Millions of desperate people out there because of worldwide war, famine and poverty. But what do we hear from our (mainly British) baby boomers on this thread? The ones who prospered with their free education, dental and healthcare? They are alright, and the hell with anyone else. I hope for a rude awakening for them.

I think (well, hope) she will HAVE to do something drastic about the cost of living crisis. Surely even she cannot be so dim as to recognise that if she doesn't, it will be political suicide for her. And within weeks, not months or years. The ERG won't care, but the prospect of a destitute, cold and hungry Britain desperately shivering in the dark at Christmas, might focus a few minds. (Cue laughter emoticon...)

Err, you were one of the most vociferous supporters of the junta for ages. I remember your calling student protesters at the time of the coup, "thugs". You may get to reinvent yourself, but some of us remember. Now: will you finally denounce the Chan-ocha coup of 2014?
