In about two weeks, Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine will last as long as the Soviet-German war lasted.
That war (called "the Great Patriotic War in Russian narrative) lasted 1,418 days.
The "special military operation" lasts for 1,401 days already.

Fox hunting is a revolting sport. It's only survived in any form because it's done by ghastly, entitled, influential and aristocratic people who feel it's the God given right to charge about the place in silly costumes tearing animals apart for no good reason.

I am looking forward to the day that these disgusting people are dragged out of their houses and put on trial for crimes against humanity. Because this is exactly what making the climate catastrophe worse is.

Wes Streeting is as idiotic about Brexit in his own way as Starmer is.
And to think that some in Labour feel that his wishy washy Customs Union comment will bring voters stampeding back tells you all you need to know about their tenuous grasp of the reality of geopolitics.

Apparently engaging with the EU is all about economics, while also avoiding freedom of movement. Sigh.
Anyone hoping to rejoin has a very very long wait.
Frankly, if you're a rejoiner over 50, I'd suggest taking up stamp collecting or bird watching instead. It'll be more fulfilling.

Orban is a fucking traitor and dictator.
