Russian invasion of Ukraine

[kaz7]

After the Co-op became the first British supermarket to ban Russian vodka from its stores, Sainsbury's has announced it is taking a similar move.

Russian Standard vodka and Karpayskiye sunflower seeds will no longer be available in Sainsbury's stores, it has announced.

As well as that, its Chicken Kievs will be rebranded as Chicken Kyiv in the coming weeks.

A spokesperson told Politico: "We stand united with the people of Ukraine.

"We have reviewed our product range and have decided to remove from sale all products that are 100% sourced from Russia."

The supermarket will also donate £2m to support the crisis in Ukraine

Can we not slip Vlad some Valium to chill the war mongering **** out? The world has changed you daft banana dwarf twat.

Or maybe a more potent drink?

I’d rather slip him a noose.

Finland and Sweden to join NATO possibly that will fuck Putin right off, more troops on his border. Get that iron curtain built again!

Called this when I saw the tanks roll across the border - will prove to be an own goal by Putin that even Dunney would have blushed at

Keystone was a pipe from Alberta to the US. Albertan oil production has the highest safety and environmental standards on the planet.

Canada/Alberta oil and gas Industry has been decimated, due in large part to ‘outside influences’ and the fact Trudeau is a prick.

Good to know. Apparently Keystone can provide the US 820k barrels a day, which is almost 150k more than they are currently buying from the Russians still on a daily basis.

£2m, that’s barely more than my annual spend in beer and dog food

"It should go without saying that our first duty is to expose the disgusting lies and the hypocrisy of the US and western imperialism."

Just unbelievable! Surely your first duty should be to expose the murder of innocent civilians by a despotic regime?

Absolutely fucking disgusting and if you believe that Rasc you are a fucking disgrace also.

You've shown yourself to be a nasty piece of work on this thread that's for sure.

If they join I hope they apply one day and get admitted the next, cos any Intervening period will leave them very exposed

Small but greedy, and he drinks a lot of beer

That’s about right. Canada also had a pipeline planned from West to East (Energy east) which got rejected due to pressure from ‘external influences’. Instead, they’re importing oil to the east coast of Canada from such luminaries as Nigeria, Venezuela, Saudi Arabia etc.

There wasn’t another country on earth shooting itself in the foot (Economy wise) as much as Canada was, until Putin said ‘hold my beer’.

Lol

A bit dated, but you get the general impression.

Reports are emerging that China will block the broadcast of all Premier League matches this weekend due to various planned displays of support for Ukraine.

And so. It begins.

The ' Chicken Kyivs ' are the deal breaker.

Needs to be a delicate balancing act and recognise a lot of jobs and energy independence are conflicted with genuine environmental concerns.

We need a new energy source like tomorrow!

Although a lot of us are here solely because of this terrifying, horrific, disgusting invasion - we should remind ourselves this is, afterall, "Off Topic" and all the rumours about lurking low-life trolls and weirdos are true.

You clearly need to educate yourself on this as well as you seem to have educated yourself on Covid vaccines and misinformation.

You’re falling into the misinformation trap. I have worked in Nigeria, Canada, UK, Australia. I have worked on these very projects. I have seen the environmental and safety requirements and in Alberta the reclamation efforts first hand. I have seen the land after this returned to a pristine level cleaner than it was found.

‘Tar sands’ itself is a coin phrased by the anti oil and gas lobby.

I don’t disagree with anything you’ve said there but that person must be a teenager, an education piece with them might be more helpful.
