Should the worst happen and the Russians invade, I suspect that many rich Russians in the UK will be part of the proposed sanctions, could this affect our foes down the road? |  |

Wonder how long it will be before we no longer see those tv Meerkats with the Russian accents? |
They've already been pulled. Only positive thing about the whole situation. |  | | |

If ONE good thing comes out of all of this, it could be that.
Someone somewhere is sitting on a Yacht, paid for purely by the fact that the word 'Market' sounds a tiny little bit like 'Meerkat'
this Meerkat/Market campaign is nearly 15 years old for christ sakes! |  |

That's about £400,000. The price of a 1 bed flat in Cricklewood.
Amazing how such small sums of money have had such a huge impact. Utter failure on the part of the Government.

The Feline Federation has banned Russian cats from entering its shows. If only Zouma had one of those, he'd be seen in a whole different light.
My wife has one of this Russian dolls upstairs which her brother brought back from Moscow in the 90s. Into the incinerator. |  | | |

I think we need to be careful about not incinerating, realistically or figuratively, a culture that by and large doesn't want this and is being carried out by the whims of a kleptocractic madman. | | | |

Two developments which may help stop this madness:
- An international "army" of hackers is being formed with the aim of crippling Russia
- The Ukrainien newspaper Pravda has obtained, and publicly leaked, the personal data of 120,000 Russian soldiers fighting in Ukraine |  |

Completely agree.
In my lifetime the biggest warmongering Nation by far has been the U.S., yet - quite rightly - European society has blamed its Estabishment and not its citizens. |  |

Since pressure has been put on Abramovich, it is difficult to tell apart the Russian bots and the Chelsea fans. Just been reading some "loyal Blues" slagging off the Klitschko brothers. Unbelievable. [Post edited 4 Mar 2022 13:26]

Who knows how many of the Russian people are being conned into supporting the war by Putin’s lies? |  | | |

Not sure what is happening wherever you are reading this, but a mate in a neighbouring village says people there have been contacted by the local mayor to see if they would be prepared to take in a Ukrainian family.
Whereas I read that some a-hole of an MP in Blighty said Ukrainians could apply to enter the UK to pick fruit.
Not sure who the MP in question was, but I'd add them to the queue behind Vlad of those in need of a bloody good shoeing! |  |

Very alarming development,a breach of the core buildings highly possible.
Chernobyl hasn't gone away of course,all those tanks and heavy vehicles churning things up has seen automatic monitoring devices peaking the radiation at 92,000 RADS against the "normal" levels of 3,000.Let's hope the prevailing winds continue to blow from the west. | |

Plenty, without doubt. I do think the demonstrations in Moscow last week showed plenty realise what really is going on. | | | |

....and despite abstaining in the vote before the UNSC, our friends in the Middle Kingdom will not show English Premiership games due to the support for Ukraine shown by the Prem and 19 of its clubs.

Seen lots of footage of interviews with captured Russian soldiers. I can’t help but think back to 1917 and the role of returning Russian soldiers in starting the ball rolling for revolution and the deposing of the Tsar. Let’s hope they go home and do the same again for Russias latest autocrat. | | | |

Very true. The only Russian citizens I've seen on TV have been protesting the war - which is an act of bravery in itself considering the risk of arrest - quite a few pics of traumatised people of all ages getting led off by police in riot gear. I marched against the Iraq war like millions of others at the time but under far, far easier circumstances. |  | | |

I don't think that is the best mentality if your country gets invaded. You wouldn't fight for the UK? |
I would do what I can. But sometimes you have to accept defeat. I can't see how Ukraine will win this and keep the death toll to a minimum. |  |

The whole lot comes to around 400k ..that's peanuts Rishi Sunak is worth a billion .He doesn't have to jump for 6k .
IMO The reason for delay is law firms challenging the legality of sanctions to buy time . They should be ashamed . |  | | |
