I'm alarmed by the bonkers notion we have to pay reparations on the basis of our supposed 'inherited wealth'. Britain became wealthy because of the industrial revolution and the hard work of shipbuilders, miners, and factory workers in England & Scotland, not in the Caribbean.

Today marks 1000 days since Russia invaded Ukraine.

1994 Ukraine agreed to transfer nuclear weapons to Russia in exchange for security guarantees.

2014 Russia invades Ukraine.

2022 Russia invades Ukraine again.

Clearly Russian guarantees are worthless.

Can Russia be trusted a third time?
