UK electorate's views on US Election.

And now you tell us that we could rely upon Mr Putin's assurances?
No, I'm not saying that. I'm saying that Russia is a sovereign nation, and a member of the UN.
You need to look at recent UN resolutions to see the opinion of the international community.

Merely implying that the opinion of the G7 is all that matters is no longer an option.
..and furthermore, I am not saying that it should EVER have been .. but that's politics,
and more to do with empires than morality.

I’m not sure they’re openly racist though.
You're not?

When Farage was a student at Dulwich College a teacher reported that Farage is “a fascist, but that was no reason why he would not make a good prefect." He went on to mature into an adult that expressed agreement with and admiration for Enoch Powell (going as far as asking him for support in one of his attempts at winning a byelection).

As for Johnson - isn't saying that Muslim women wearing niqabs and burkas look "like letterboxes" sufficiently racist for you? Why would you think it ok to recite a colonial poem whilst in a Myanmar Buddhist pagoda (until his minder advised him he was on mic) ? Is using the word "piccaninnies" not racist then? Is saying black people have "watermelon smiles" not racist?

If you're not sure that this is openly racist I can only draw one conclusion regarding your attitude.

But I can assure you that if the Ukrainian War doesn't stop, thousands of Ukrainians will keep dying.

Ukrainian lives don't matter?

So you're not different from the Israeli Government. It doesn't matter how many Israeli soldiers die...killing Gazans serves a good purpose.

I cannot understand how you are not able to see that.
People will die -- and volunteer to take that risk -- to defend their sovereignty and right to self-determination. Israel, at this point, is not defending its sovereignty or right to self-determination, although Palestinians certainly are. That puts Israel, now, clearly in the wrong. Ukrainians, likewise, are fighting (yes, and dying) to preserve their own sovereignty and right to self-determination, which Vladimir Putin wishes to take away. That puts Russia clearly in the wrong. In my view.

Hold on a moment .. you are implying that Russia and/or Putin intends to continually expand
an empire westwards .. but we have seen the opposite happening.
i.e. EU/NATO expanding eastwards
EU/NATO expanding isn't the "opposite" of Putin expanding.
The opposite would be Putin not expanding.
However, both his record, & government statements show
intent to expand, including after Ukraine. And unlike EU
& NATO, Putin uses & intends violent expansion.

Despite Russia's being the biggest country on Earth,
& having a stagnating population, he still seeks to
conquer new territory. It's rapacious greed, not
about survival.
No...it's about Ukraine being colonized by the banking sewer coming from other side of the Atlantic.
And these sewer rats are imposing on Kiev to wage a war against Russia. :)

Although I dislike both,old Enoch was right in many ways but this is how bad British politics is,Farage is the most popular leader,what he did in school is irrelevant,if the Tories fail to get their **** wired the there will be a Reform coalition at the least.

I don’t see the Muslim women comment racist as Islam is an ideology,it’s an odd comment really and makes zero sense,patio umbrella springs to mind but not letterbox,Boris is stupid but I doubt racist imo.

Draw what you wish but it doesn’t make it true.

I hope you are right, that'll guarantee more years of a Labour Government.

I believe I am right,the next government will not be Labour,this is their Swan song,I’m happy about that but not so happy about Reform being prominent,that’s a failure of the Tories and Labour.
