WW3 -All Russia / Ukraine stuff here please-

Well you lot have thoroughly depressed me now.

Trying to think more positively, which world leader, or elder statesman, could come in at this point and broker a peace deal? Who has the gravitas to carry it off?

Trump ?

Piers Morgan? Graham Norton? Ant and Dec? Bieber?

I'm trying to think outside the box here.

I say they send Timmy Mallett and they get a whack with Mallet's Mallett every time their country carries out an act of agression. Either that or it is settled on the It's a Knockout Course or over the final round of We Are the Champions.
 
So to date, all of 50 Ukrainian refugees admitted to the UK, meanwhile 130+ turned back at Calais and told to go to Brussels or Paris to have their application processed. Put aside the potential UK targets for Russian attacks, all very interesting and to be aware of. But all of that is theoretical and in the future. The refugee crisis is real and right now, and the UK response to it something that we are in complete control of, so no slopey shouldering of the blame allowed. I’m ashamed and angry but not surprised.

Its ironic that the home secretarys parents who were refugees would not have been allowed into this country if the current rules were in place back then.

I try to steer clear of politics on here and in real life. I don't see anything more political in expressing shame at the lack of assistance the country is providing when thousands of its citizens are willing to sponsor Ukrainian evacuees than anything else that's being posted on here.

Been trying for years to get HID to consider a croft on Skye. Now might be the time?

Irrespective of what is going on in the world you should try it.
You could not get a more distinctly different lifestyle than the Western Isles and Souff Lunnon.
Crofting is hard work mind, long hours tied to the land and little profit in the end.

Trouble with Skye is it is full of 'non Scots' and tourists.
I would choose Mull, lowly populated mainly by friendly Mulleons, much more spacious, cheaper to buy property and milder weather.
Only problem is the ferry and the awful whisky they still.;)
