Christ almighty still making the anti vacs comments, watching the media whip up the hysteria about Putin is not dissimilar to the way they so easily did it with Covid. Yeah you are 100% correct It works  wonderfully on those stupid enough not to question a single thing. 

He’s a broken record.

Wouldn't fit me now anyway! I knew a safety officer at Winfrith Atomic site in Dorset, I actually lived in Winfrith Newburgh village, and he'd been to Chernobyl before the meltdown. He was horrified and terrified at the lack of safety. Corner cutting, blatant breach of most obvious procedures and crap kit. Not a pleasant scenario to contemplate the future of any of us. Time to stock up the wine cellar, I think Mr Johnson.

don't know about the French tv but the reports on uk tv seem to come from a hotel balcony and Witter on for about 10 minutes that could be said in 2 and there is the tear jerker bit with it as well  

BBC reports are Earl Grey tea to the French black coffee.

French camera crews wiping dust of themselves as they film the immediate aftermath of an explosion.

Anyway, nothing is quite like an Aljazeera report from Iraq showing giblets strung from a lamp post.

If Brest receives a hit, I'll head for the channel islands.

Assuming the authorities wave visa requirements of course.

The UK government is being very slow to process my wifes visa.

What do they actually hope to achieve with this? It’s not like they’re going to go and arrest him. Someone enlighten me

 

UK and allies push for swift war crimes probe into Putin’s invasion of Ukraine

APPLE.NEWS

Thirty-eight nations teamed up to press the International Criminal...

 

War crimes eh?

Seemed a far away irrelevance when it was Syrian towns being bombed.

Brings it home when a real war is only a couple of days drive from London...

They should use the Meerkat's to their advantage in making adverts denouncing the war, make one Ukrainian.

I’d like to visit the forests surrounding the area (briefly). Apparently there are amazing examples of nature doing ‘it’s thing’ to recover and reclaim the area. 
 

Like you say though, no good worrying, just as well have a glass and relax.

While we remain without grandchildren, I by times  muse that a nuclear Armageddon would be just the tonic "our" much abused Earth needs right now.

Though I fear if any humans survived, they would simply repeat our mistakes, while telling themselves it would be different this time.

Sigh.
