Russian invasion of Ukraine

Should we announce immidiately scrap page of visa requirements for Ukranians into the UK? Of course we should but we are not the first port of call here and no one can jump into a plane to get here either. What’s important is the actions of near neighbours and the EU who have responded incredibly well in allowing Ukranians in but of course, announce today a reciprocal agreement because it’s the right thing to do.
Which is why it’s such a massive own goal for the government not to have scrapped visa requirements at their earliest opportunity.

Most Ukrainians will want to go home, once safe to do so, so are likely to stay as close as they can, meaning a tiny number would come here.
 
Very hard to go on as normal when all this is happening.

It's completely understandable, everything seems insignificant in comparison.

Most of us normally use football as a getaway but that's just not possible here.
Fully agree.

I've got mates who can switch off from all of this, and I'm extremely jealous.
 
I agree with what west dids posted above. When I heard her giving it the biggun i just thought "what a twat". The rhetoric has been very careful from all states, especially the US, whereas Truss just says whatever comes into her brain.
Yep, that’s the fool coming out. Her brolly photo is a bit weird too.
 
The nuclear facility at Chernobyl has been surrounded and taken over by the Russians, I don’t like the sound of that, one bomb on the top of that and we’ve all had it.
Peace talks while they carry on bombing the second city is bad. The situation isn’t getting any better
To be fair it will be over for the Russian people too as they're much closer. If they are that fucking stupid and selfish of course

After 2 fucking years of shite with COVID, just getting back to normal and this **** starts a fucking war.
You couldn't make it up.
 
Sky reporting out of Moscow that Russia has moved up its nukes to “combat readiness”.

Literally no logic to that whatsoever
It can’t mean its ICBMs as they are combat ready 24 hours a day 7 days a week as are ours and the Americans. It must mean tactical ones if it’s not just bluster.
 
This is taking it to a new level if Belarus officially join in on the ground - prep work on markings filmed here seems to confirm it but as always hard to verify -

We should be doing better than we are. Seems we've added needless red tape to a situation that requires much more urgency. We've known this was coming for weeks. Let's see what Patel announces later on today
 
How fucking wild is it that many of us are just sat going about our day, while checking the internet every ten minutes for updates about a potentially world ending scenario kicking off? Ffs. No wonder I've had a permanent tension headache for a few days.

Just wait until derby day nerves kick in mate. I’m going to be on Valium by the weekend
 
Nothing you can do about it, so don’t worry yourself sick with it. I have been, don’t get me wrong.

I’m going to finish work for the day and do what I love - cooking - and put it out of my mind for a bit. A nice chicken Kyev. I’m sick to death of worrying about things.
Ever so slightly edited

What did she say?

I’m getting less work done than in the heights of the transfer window

I don’t see it as some massive own goal. Had we been immediate neighbours then of course it would have been. These poor people face a big enough journey just to get out of their homes, never mind to the nearest border and then onto us.

Announce it though asap because it does need doing.
