I know I should just brush this aside as the having of opinions by a professional opinion-haver, but it is as offensive as it is ignorant to suggest that people in Poland, of all places, are in the grip of a delusion for fearing the very real possibility of Russian invasion.
What are you even talking about! I am saying it is a delusional fantasy to suggest Russia is going to invade European countries like Poland, Germany or indeed the UK, which is the insane drivel currently being promoted in support of a disastrous arms race.

Owen Jones tells us it's a delusional fantasy that Russia could invade Poland...
(It's a mere 86 years since Russia last invaded Poland and only 32 years since its troops reluctantly left Polish soil. Also Russia is currently trying to eradicate Poland's nearest neighbour)

If NATO countries allow Russia to gain the upper hand in Ukraine then chances are they will be next on Russia's hit list

Good, I never got this, it politicised the police. Glad they got rid of them.
Only time I ever spoiled my ballot paper was a PCC election when I lived in England.

Being a neutral at a game with 5 yellow and 3 red cards just in the first half is quite interesting... 😅
Colony Park v Dyce, 0-0 at HT, both sides down to 10 and an assistant manager sent off as well.

The UK has become a genuine multi-party country – but our voting system hasn’t caught up. The Dutch elections this week show how proportional representation can give everyone a voice, while keeping extremists out of power.

How to tame the populists: lessons from the Netherlands
Recent elections in the Netherlands show how a proportional voting system can prevent extremists from taking power. Lessons for the UK?

In Blairgowrie, blueberry bushes are heavy with yield but the harvesters are missing. A local family-farm that once supplied supermarkets now raises funds for community groups instead. Can you guess why?
