    What does a bloke with more than £44 million need to be a Conservative MP for; and how do anyone who voted for him think he represents them?

    Simple - to bend the rules so that he can make even more money. Zero interest in actually serving his constituents.

    That looks like the back of my ‘Cliff Richard’s World Tour’ t-shirt.
    Can’t see Brammall Lane on there for some odd reason, though….

    About Iraq and the WMD. If they had WMD we wouldn't have invaded.

    Well no because he'd be on his own and there would be civil disobedience. Remem
    That previously the West had propped up, until he went rogue.

    My prediction is Russia will occupy most of Ukraine within a couple of days. There will then be a ceasefire agreement, with the Russians claiming to have achieved their objectives. They will start to withdraw, but won't keep to the agreement and will keep forces in Eastern Ukraine. It will be a carbon copy of Georgia in 2008. Georgia had also been courting the EU and NATO and Russia invaded on the pretext of protecting two pro-Russian rebel areas. It was over very quickly and they still occupy 20% of the country, the rebel areas plus a bit more. The West did bugger all and this has no doubt encouraged Putin.

    The best outcome is for Ukraine to surrender. They can't defeat Russia.

    I’ve argued for years it’s time we allowed Germany to rearm- it’s no good having the largest country in Europe Defenceless and relying on American largesse , especially when they are apt to elect fruticakes like trump. Same with Japan, enough is enough now, the world has moved on and China and Russia can’t be stopped by America alone.

    Russia have enough nuclear material, weapons grade or otherwise to scatter the planet, they don’t need what’s in Chernobyl, uncontrolled release of material from there would kill plenty of Russians especially if the winds not blowing in the right direction, makes no sense. More likely it’s a quicker way to Kiev.
