Kim wears special platforms, usually hidden by flares when he is standing up.

All that power and wealth and he is so insecure he has dress to like he has special needs.

Played a shit part in the Incredibles.

Appreciate that there are rocket launchers within Russian territory, which I don't believe Ukraine would target ( but would fully understand if they did). But there are many heavy artillery units currently in Ukraine.

Think the Tochka is the biggest Ukraine have....75 mile range.

The government here faces a dilemma with the refugee crisis from Ukraine. Brexit proved that we have a lot of our electorate from both the traditional left and the right are Nationalistic. The general view is that people didn't like the free movement of people or people seeking refugee status here. Now that we are living with the 24 hour coverage of the horrific war in Ukraine ,the general feeling is that we should be taking a lot more Ukrainian refugees but I bet they don't feel the same about other refugees of different nationalities. If the government takes a different approach to Ukrainian refugees ,will they be accused of prejudice?
I know brexit was a lot more than the movement of people but I want this post to stick to the topic

The gov cant argue whether people are fleeing a war zone in this case , not letting in the old, women and kids and people with british passports with ukranian family is disgusting

It was full of virologists and epidemiologists not that long ago. Who needs an education when an expert in every walk of life is on here.

I don't disagree

Quite a change in rhetoric today, sounds like Russia is now only asking for demilitarisation of the Donbas region. Going to be interesting to see how the talks between the foreign ministers go tomorrow.

Was thinking the same, some people are clearly experts in both fields! Amazing.

Ashamed by our country's refugee policy. Impossible to justify.

Johnson did say that they’re anticipating taking in hundreds of thousands in the coming months, though that is admittedly little comfort to those seeking refuge now.

Presumably Ukrainians flying into Dublin could rather easily make their way into Ulster.
