So is it value betting against ?
Oh, wait...
Johnson tells ministers he wants to give his side of story over parties https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/feb/23/johnson-parties-met-investigation?utm_term=Autofeed&CMP=twt_gu&utm_medium&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1645644006
..I’m also in a weird state of disbelief that we could be on the verge of a major conflict on the continent. There’s absolutely no way that this doesn’t spill over into neighbouring countries (particularly Baltics). If Putin invades then all bets are off what he does next,
But oh well. Not our problem (according to some)
My civil service pension on the other hand...
My lapdog Conservative MP will agree.
Boris who?
I think what is more likely to happen is the triple lock ends and age requirements head north at some point with our good friend inflation wittling the pension downward over time.
If it was held flat till your retirement and inflation ran at 4% for the next 40 years it'd be worth £41 a week in today's money.
Westminster voting intention:
LAB: 42% (+2)
CON: 35% (-)
LDEM: 9% (-1)
GRN: 3% (-)

The Tories sanctioned 5...
There is an emergency EU summit tomorrow. BoZo and Truss will have to beg someone to tell them what happened.
Global Britain is a global joke...
But if life were fair, the only reason we would know about Boris Johnson would be his appearence on a "cheating love rat" sequence on the Jeremy Kyle show, where he got roundly booed.
To be honest planning for your retirement based on your private pension(s) and getting any state pension as a bonus is not a bad plan at your age.
Boris is toast, the only question is whether he goes earlier (now looking unlikely) or later.
So would you lay out for us how many of those 378 Russians will be majorly affected because if they have very little to lose it’s of fuck all use sanctioning whereas hitting two or three big players where it hurts will have more effect.
Who are the 378? Are they good targets?
Not defending UK or criticising EU, just pointing out that the numbers are meaningless if there are 377 nonentity or untouchable people on the list.
A headline yes, but only a dork believes those without substantiating the facts behind them.

I hope there is naferious activity in the unseen arena of the cyber world among other action.

Having done so sequestrate every one of them, making loud and public announcements of how many billions of his ill-gotten gains have been seized.
Do wonders for his popularity in Russia. Some of his loot could even be promised to retutn to the Russian people post Putin.
This useful pocket money will fund a very modest bottle of champagne daily, though nothing else.
Germany offered some helmets and stopped people with their kit passing it on.
These kind of comments are really uncalled for. It’s almost as if you had a different agenda Scott.
I can't imagine why you don't care
From Konstantin Kisin on Twitter
"The reason NATO is expanding eastwards is the desperation of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania and other countries in the region to secure themselves against inevitable Russian aggression. They too have Russian-speaking minorities who can be weaponised against them. They too were part of the Soviet empire after being invaded and annexed by Stalin while Europe was busy with Hitler.
The people in these countries understand something very few Westerners do: Russia is not a bear to be pacified. Russia is a hungry wolf who cares not one bit about your protestations, your pathetic sanctions or your naïve appeals to morality.
The crisis in Ukraine is a symptom of a far bigger problem, one about which I have been warning for some time: the West is divided, distracted and weak. A terrible pandemic has ravaged the minds of Western elites for decades, turning us into a self-loathing, nihilistic people whose main preoccupation is self-flagellating while hypnotically reciting the wrongs of our past...
While here in the West we talk endlessly about equality, diversity and social justice, in the rest of the world, things are much simpler. People respect strength and despise weakness. "
Praise be!
The government / Conservatives are not the evil actors in this saga. What's more, there might be stuff going on that isn't known atm (as seen in the Libya evacuation).
Either you are against this Russian aggression, or you are trying to blame the west for 'poking' them into it. That poor Putin. How he is sinned against!
Don't beat yourself up, we all make mistakes!
But no one came. We will regret this.
It is the only area of Spelthorne to elect Labour cllrs in recent times so I would make Lab marginal favourites to gain it.
Not unique either with similar scandals in Morecombe Bay, Nottingham, Essex.
The final salary public sector pension I built up over about 13 years is about a 75% chance.
I am now saving for a private pension as diversifying can't be a bad thing.
The consequence of this is that young people from well-to-do families who can look forward to inheriting property wealth will become reliant on that to themselves retire at an acceptable age. Those who are not, unless they are exceptionally successful in their working lives, will largely work until they die, or work until they're too sick or disabled to keep going.
We are where we are, and he's gradually become more unhinged and pathologically anti-Western over time now, on his own track. We should be looking at the absolute maximum economic sanctions, and heavily reinforcing a whole line from the Baltics to Greece.
Too many within and without the NHS have been historically unwilling to accept that there are failures, and instead institute a CYA approach. Or even blaming the messenger: witness Stafford.
Much of the NHS is glorious and worthy of praise. But some of the NHS is like the worst private companies: unwilling to accept blame or make progress.
Instead we have a fucking clown and a tribute act who even if they knew what to do are unwilling to do it, and appear to be compromised.
BoZo and Truss are making it easier for Putin.
So which side are you on?
Do you want us helping Putin, or do you want us to have a leader, not a liar?
Sending the Ukranians missiles and other munitions, otoh, is not a gesture or a global joke. Nor, in fairness to Germany, is blocking that pipeline.
The fault here lies in Putin. A bad actor can always find excuses for their bad behaviour. A practiced bad actor will always get fools to make the excuses for him.
Putin was not forced to invade Georgia. He was not forced to kill Litvinenko. He was not forced to kill or jail hundreds of journalists. He was not forced to take Crimea. He was not forced to do the Salisbury poisonings. He is not being forced to attack Ukraine.
He is evil. Whatever we did, he would find excuses for his actions.

Maternity does seem to have issues. There was a recent conversation on here about maternity care that was not necessarily positive. When it's good (as ours was) it can be very good. When it's bad, it's disastrous.
It is possible to both recognise this history as a cause of the current situation and completely reject Russias current actions in Ukraine.
