Russia threatening legal action and ‘damages’ for sequestration of their assets is all part of their asymmetric hybrid war.

They use Western legal systems, when they have no rule of law, just as they call for free speech while killing journalists and imprisoning protestors

The deafening silence from the UK's "official" Jewish institutions on Nigel Farrage's antisemitism demonstrates how morally bankrupt they are. So far the Board of Deputies, JLC, chief rabbi and CST have yet to say one word. Pathetic doesn't begin to capture it.

Tommy Robinson and his far right goons are holding a carol service to honour the birth of a displaced Middle Eastern refugee who started a religion that explicitly emphasized a belief in universal love, peace and tolerance over earthly nations and division.

This man deserves a medal from the Kremlin for his unstinting pushing of Russian propaganda from even before the start of the full-scale invasion that he assured us would never take place

It’s really simple…

- Cap all political donations
- Ban foreign donations
- Strict conflict‑of‑interest & anti‑corruption laws with penalties
- No titles, honours or peerages for donors
- No govt contracts for donors
- Publish every donation/lobby meeting

…that’ll do it.

22 Days.

22 days after Russia’s full scale invasion of Ukraine on Feb 24th 2022 is when Ofcom took the decision to ban RT/Russia Today.

What was Ofcom doing all those years?

What is Ofcom doing any more?

OTD in 1994 Russia signed the Budapest memo, guaranteeing Ukraine's territorial integrity in exchange for their nukes, 44 Ukrainian Tu-22 heavy bombers and 1,068 Kh-55 cruise missiles.

Which have been fired at Ukraine in this war.

Rather than apologising for his antisemitism, Farage demands the BBC apologise for the antisemitism of Alf Garnett, a fictional character created to satirise antisemitism, who was portrayed by a Jewish man.

Putin knows he's got lucky and is briefly ahead and wants to cash in his chips while he's got a strong hand.

A better player would take him to the cleaners.

Trump isn't that man.

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

Germany looked like it was winning the war in the spring of 1918. But its offensive was unsustainable, and the Allies held their nerve and won.

Russia has thrown everything at Ukraine, and the financial and emotional strain, as well as all those losses, must surely be at breaking point. Surely...

It's all bad but hadn't seen the bit where Farage says:

"The European Union is the prototype for the New World Order."

That is a seriously, deeply problematic term that taps into Illuminati and antisemitic conspiracy theories.

How the fuck did this man direct the course of our politics?
We kept the receipts. These comments, taken together, paint a picture of the man he is today.
