Goats are more reliable than politicians.

So many things never happen in Duckie's world. It's his goto response to things he doesn't want to hear or admit to.

There is no way we could go back on anything approaching the terms we had when we left. That horse has bolted, and won't be coming back.

Such as the Brexit Benefits Minister, who not only moved significant investment funds to Ireland to keep them inside the EU, but on appointment had to write an open letter asking for people to submit examples of what "benefits" Brexit was delivering. ( I suspect he is still waiting on a reply ).

Many, if not most, farmers and fishermen voted Leave.

Not just Pony, but utterly pathetic rain scalded worm-ridden Pony.

They do talk some proper shit on that TV channel.

It's strange how the Party of Law and Order don't like it when the Law is used against them. Maybe Duckie can nip over to the Mail's headquarters and point out that this is all some cunning plan to trick the 'Left'.

Duckie and others of his ilk.

And the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill, has said that Russia has never invaded another country, it has only ever defended it's own borders..

Probably true about it being an export model, but it was certainly mounted on a Grad launcher disabled in Ukraine.

The Rwanda deportation scheme is on hold for 'many months' after legal challenges are submitted. Priti promised the first flights would occur this month.

Even then he lied. The Freedom Pass was introduced in the early 1970s.

This is a photo of a deflated tyre on a Russian "Grad" missile launcher. On the sidewall it clearly reads "Made in USSR". Potentially the tyre is 30 years old.

A few millimetres too far and we would find out who his successor is.

Quoting statistics where a single nation, the UK, is compared against another single entity, the EU, is a classic smokescreen because it is in no way a like for like comparison. Of course many of the 27 EU members are more heavily reliant on Russian fuel imports than we are, and therefore find it harder to quickly wean themselves off it, but we also have the benefit of North Sea gas and oil, which Germany, Italy, etc don't have. If we were not a fossil fuel producer ourselves, we would certainly be taking more from the Russians.

But we need to ensure we have a stick to beat the Big Bad EU with, even if we have to invent it.

The UK has yet to stop importing Russian oil and gas. Edit: we also still import Russian coal.

Russia has banned the export of goods and raw materials to countries that have previously banned the import of said products and raw materials.

Goal difference counts against us, plus Villa have 2 more games in which to try to garner that extra point.

"Interesting" is not the word I would use.

Single male in a dinghy in the Channel - shouldn't he now be on a plane to Rwanda ?

Nadine Dorries posts a picture of Keir Starmer 'breaking lockdown rules' whilst sitting alongside Frank Dobson. Does he now have to power to resurrect the dead ?

So, he is another Putin shill. Just for starters, I don't want to make things too difficult for you; At the end of WW2 Europe was split between the West, a number of independent and mostly democratic countries, and the East, a combination of a militarily suppressed 'empire' and it's occupied slave satellite states. Remember, many of these 'satellite' countries had themselves been self-governing democracies before the war. The West saw the East as the threat it was and formed a collective defensive pact that ensured their combined military strength deterred the expansionism of the East. Many of the peoples in the East wanted to restore their pre-war democratic status, but were held back by totalitarian Governments, backed up by extensive secret Police networks. However, by the 1980's the power of the totalitarian puppet regimes was fading, as was the enforced stability of the Soviet 'empire', and one by one the Warsaw Pact countries broke away from Russian dominance, and as the central power control systems weakened, many of the component SSRs began to develop self awareness, eventually causing the 'Union' to fracture, and creating a whole new group of newly independent nation states, trying to re-invent themselves with a western, democratic, societal structure. These newly independent countries knew that their old 'imperial' master was still very much present at their borders, and resentful of their rejection of it's warm embrace, so they followed their trend towards Westernisation by looking for stronger economic ties to help build their domestic development, the EU, and joined with NATO to gain the benefit of the mutually guaranteed defensive support it delivers. Russia, meanwhile, somehow ended up with a new leader who had grand ideas of restoring the former 'empire' to it's glory days, and forcing the World to show it renewed respect. And here we are...........

What a complete cartload of codswallop that is. I'm not sure who he is, but he hasn't got the foggiest idea of how to draw a simile for the war in Ukraine.
