Are you actually sure she was from Virgin Media?

All the people using foodbanks would scoff at your suggestion It achieves the ability to have a new election with brand new candidates if none of the above is the top choice

And they all got into Mexico first!

I can't imagine it’s that because the Russians would just block it like they have with Instagram. Unless the stories about their internet blocking really starting to struggle with the sheer amount of work it has to do are true. TikTok was also the favoured platform for the likes of the Kadyrovites to publicise their fake battles. The Russians were actively using it for propaganda

This raises a question Did TikTok take it down or Apple? TikTok being Chinese, the answer is very relevant. Instagram, which Russians cant access without a VPN is still up in the App Store so that suggests it may have been TikTok themselves

Saw this yesterday, it would actually have been easier to throw it the other way

They do that when complaining about taxi services too. "My Daughter got a taxi....." Turns out her daughter is 35

I wonder how long it will be before we hear calls for a nationwide amnesty in relation to COVID Fines?

I don't think the Ukrainians even have to aim any more. I think most people have actually lost count of how many times this has happened. 15, 16, 17? (EDIT: 17th time now apparently) Its where the Ukraine forces farm for XP

It's usually related to the underlying geology. The thing that map also doesn't tell you is that the top of the scale and the bottom of the scale aren't really that high at all in comparison say to the Red Forest around Chernobyl

Who says the Donbas is pro-Russian? You need to realise that any declaration of Russianness is completely manufactured by Putin. The separatists were all Putin stooges. I'll also wager it’s far less pro-Russian now

For some reason, I have a fair few records by The Three Johns. Side project of John Langford (of the Mekons) with John Hyatt and John Brennan (real name Patrick iirc). Track Three is titled Demon Drink and it always reminds me of a gig at Liverpool Uni. It was a John Peel Roadshow, The Three Johns were headlining and Benny Profane were supporting, John Peel was DJing after the Three Johns and yours truly was his warm up man. John Hyatt who is now a professor of art and technology (textiles I think) was at the time an alcholic of some immense proportions. He's cleaned up now but how he's alive and a reknowned professor is beyond logic. Anyway, the band turn up for the soundcheck and John Hyatt just falls asleep behind the speakers, absolutely wrecked, he doesn't soundcheck. Benny profane soundcheck, sleeps through the lot. The other two Johns say to leave him, they'll wake him up if they need to, they just left him. He's threre through me DJing, Benny Prohane onstage, Me Djong again and just before Peel is about to start then introduce the band, they wake him up. If you didn't know, you'd have no clue, the performance was great. Anyway, I'm playing The Three Johns - The World By Storm for a bit of nostalgia

I note without any hint of irony that Sinn Fein are part of the "Global Peace Movement" now I can just see Putin wondering who Corbyn is, someone whispers in his ear "He's the puppet of that Seumas Milne fella we were using"

finally got it today nerdlegame 89 4/6

Most of those people pictured are now dead. It's some of the crew of the Moskva and the officer on the right is the Captain of the ship, he's most definitely dead The Russians issued the picture as some sort of proof that there were survivors but as it contains the Captain, who even the Russians admit is dead and the trees are full of green growth, it definitely wasn't taken after the ship sank

With the exception of China, none of those countries are doing any trade the average Russian will ever buy

There are a proportion that already know, those that don't know will just buy into the persecution by unfriendly states narrative, which has gone on in Russia long before the Russian revolutions into Tsarist times. It's part of the Russian mindset

No, I don't think sanctions will have that effect. More likely that Russians blame The West / EU / NATO / USA for their current situation

It seems like Putin is changing the narrative for his home audience from sanctions won't affect us to sanctions from "Unfriendly Countries" are causing problems.

Haha, how unobservant of me, sussed yesterdays todays is somewhat melting the synapses

I'm genuinely struggling with this one, walking away from it and coming back to it later
