Pu spells out Ru's imperialist motivations for the war. He calls the conquest a long-held dream and historical destiny.

He beclowns those who insist NATO expansion caused the war. Let's see if anyone from the Mearsheimer fan club admits the claim has been falsified.

Farage, Arron Banks, and convicted Russian asset Nathan Gill have all parroted the Russian lie that NATO and EU expansion provoked Putin into invading Ukraine.

That's a lie for a Western audience. Putin is much more honest about Russia's imperialist motives when he's speaking to a Russian audience.

So much for Tice's claim to have never met Nathan Gill.

Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia.

Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

Pleased to report that in Newport Pagnell, the red paint defacing our roundabouts has been painted out. Well done, Milton Keynes Council. Flags are still up, but it’s progress.

Hope there’s enough evidence to seize assets from the people who organised the vandalism & prosecute for criminal damage.

Current political news media is summarised by the fact that they will report Farage's statement of denial without also reporting the photographic evidence that he's lying.

This seems commonplace across the 'West' - publish outright RW lie as "XYZ says..." but don't follow up with repudiation

In my head, a robot butler would sound exactly like C-3PO. It must be disappointing for Star Wars fans that robot butlers are as much of a fantasy as their favourite franchise at this stage.

“Chernukhin has previously stressed that she and her husband have no links to Putin’s regime & that she has condemned Russia’s war in Ukraine” which, even if she’s being insincere, self-serving & misleading, is more than Farage has ever done.

Gutted that I didn't win the Best Actor Oscar this year, despite not actually appearing in any films over the last 12 months. I thought all I had to do was say that I deserved it and they'd give it to me. This has been a gross miscarriage of justice. I mean, who's even heard of Adrien Brody?
