Yep and I don't quite get this 'cash grab' of Russians who may have nothing to do or even strongly disagree with what is happening. How do they judge whose assets to seize? Do you need to be over a few £million and where will those assets go further down the line?

 

Does it start with the uber rich and then start filtering down? Do you get a receipt?

 

'Russian nationals will also soon have a limit to how much they can hold in British bank accounts, however the limit is yet to be set.'

 

How does the average Russian person have any hand in what a leader does?

 

Not sure all this freezing of bank accounts is that healthy [like in Canada for the truckers protest]. Or at least there should be some evidence on someone and some sort of process and transparency before doing it.

 I totally agree - it’s bizarre but apparently contradiction and hypocrisy seem to be de rigueur in what currently passes for politics.

Example:
 

Footballers are best keeping out politics when talking about school meals or racial equality but should be taking an active role when talking about Ukraine?

 

Similarly, big money and lobbying (apparently) has no place in politics - unless the big money can influence your adversary.....

 

And where’s it going after it’s been seized??

 

Like you say with the truckers - hardly inspires public confidence in conventional banking systems and like it or not, if the banks collapse, all hell breaks loose.

Correct. The only State Sponsored propaganda we're allowed now is the BBC.
