A confederacy of dunces.

by law Russia had 14 days to reply etc,they are saying they are innocent,asking wheres the proof,so how does Williamson handle this delicate situation? he tells Russia to "GO AWAY AND SHUT UP". This from a jumped up fifth former, and worse the pathetic media say nothing,can the standards get lower?

With you all the way on that post terry

crass I say twizz

Agree terry the whole thing couldn't have been handled any worse imo.

Its the lack of incursion by the usual suspects that baffle me.That speech was like an Alan Bennett self-depreciation sketch.

May so quick with her judgement on this one but the total opposite with brexit--funny old game

they are all desperate for a war aren't they, I think we've all worked that one out. not quite so chipper and bouncing the country when it comes to rape etc, they absolutely love this the lot of em.

We should be looking over our shoulders imo.
What is all this Russia stuff deflecting the attention from?

Takes peoples minds off the dire state of the NHS

Its more than the NHS in my opinion, I don't think they give two hoots about the health service. they want another cold war which will keep us all in a permanent state of anxiety, and some of them would be more than happy to let nukes fly, esp the likes of Lindsey Graham. the nhs is more of a distraction anyway.

Major-General Igor Konashenkov branded Mr Williamson a 'disgrace' to Britain and accused of acting as if he was still going through puberty.

He described Mr Williamson as 'intellectually impotent' and a 'market wench'.

Quick question as I've seen this mentioned several times now.


Do people seriously think our government wants a war with Russia?

They want the 'perception' of fear and threat
As SontaranStratagem says 'they want another cold war which will keep us all in a permanent state of anxiety'
This makes us far easier to control as a country and tries to give everyone a common enemy whether there's any truth in it or not.

Ok, I can sort of buy that side of it rather than a conventional war and the idea of people living in fear are easier to control.


I wonder if they'll use this as a distraction or excuse to postpone brexit. Worst time to isolate ourselves from our friends and neighbours, can't risk reducing spending on defence etc.

Clever^^

they have already bunged 48 mill to porton down

as someone said - so they get the right result from any investigation

sorry in advance

Anyone but the russkies eh moysey

the russians are mainly nice people 

but I am a bit unsure of Vlad the Bad 

Imagine your daughter coming home with him   argh!!!!!!!!!!!!

He has nailed the election so why go on the attack - it is virtually a declaration of war if HE did sanction the hit.

Crazy.

The Russian government isn't that stupid imo.

Of course Dictators can get paranoid - needs to bolster his image etc ??   You would think with his corrupt regime fixing the election by eliminating opponents and banning organisations he would get there easily. (Turkey is another example.)
  So why go would Putin go further.
There are some indicators the economy is not going so well and there is the old rich/poor gap as well in Russia.

Denzil the answer to your question is the smart grid which they are installing without us even seeing it

As someone who lived through the cold war, I must say, it didn't bother me that much. I was well aware of the Political situation, but I never thought for a second that there would be any real threat of a nuclear war. Anyone else feel that way? Young people could forgiven for thinking that we all wnet through the 70's and 80's in a state of fear. Far from it in my case.

no as a child i was terrfified. oh and imagine your daughter coming home we boriws or gavin dear god

how did a fireplace salesman from Stoke without any talent get to be where he is? mummy must be pleased!

Tory Party awash with Russian money/influence. Dirty money laundered here signs in the City.
