That's considered a small pothole on many of Worthing's roads.

Yep. Let's be clear: you're one of those that makes running this site far less fun than it used to be. You come across as someone who takes some sort of pleasure out of the government getting stuff wrong. You'll claim you don't, of course, but that is how you come across much of the time. I...

He'll be immediately sent out on loan in Europe somewhere, come back and play once for the U-23s before we sell him on at a loss. Same old, same old. Just what are the recruitment team up to?

Partly - and let's be clear I have very little time for this government whatsoever. Who is "giving Johnson a chance"? Certainly not me. As stated numerous times on these very pages, I can't stand the man. But, regardless of the disdain I hold for the Primer Minister, I still try to do is...

A couple of days ago: "Look, some European countries have stopped a few expensive boats sailing off. When are our shit government going to act?" Now, it's been stated that the UK have frozen more assets than any other nation, and some try to claim that is only because there is more cash here...

I wrote something similar a few days ago. I'm certainly not playing down the utterly horrific loss of life, but I guess in this modern world we may have become a bit desensitised to "X people have died" reports in the news. Particularly after the last two years, it's just become so common to...

I haven't followed the UK v EU sanctions stuff closely, but the main thing I've heard is a couple of countries requisitioning large yachts that looked to be about to take off. That's clearly a different matter than, say, expensive properties in London which aren't going to just take flight the...

It doesn't actually say they are still taking Russian money. They could be of course, but that's not what the article nor the report it relates to says, as it relates to donations made between October and December 2021. You'd have to wait for the release of the Q1 2022 report to know whether...

Sorry - wasn't meant like that. I'd been thinking the same thing myself earlier today - aside from gas and oil - which are quite notable, I appreciate - do we get much from Russia?

Do we get many consumer products from Russia? Smirnoff is a Diageo brand, so effectively British. Grey Goose is French and Absolut is Swedish. I don't doubt there are some Russian vodkas available but any ban feels more like symbolism, rather than an effective financial sanction.

It's really affecting me today too. The loss of life - on both sides - is utterly horrific, but the images of towns and citiies being utterly destroyed, already in ruins, is just so unfathomable to understand. What benefit, for anyone, can be served by this? Whatever the intended end-game...

It's currently a fight we can't win. The rational can rarely win against someone who is always going to escalate to the next level, pretty much without boundary. It's like knowing that if a certain bloke punches you, he'll pull out a knife if you hit back. If you counter his knife with one of...

Swiss banks freezing the funds of all the Russian bad guys like this is a big move. I can't imagine that Putin et al thought that would ever happen.
