Providing weapons: good. Sanctions: slow, weak and a strong smell of corruption. Humanitarian aid: slow, complicated, inhumane and lacking any act of charity.

Well b back 3,250 Posted March 19, 2022 6 hours ago, Herman said: Did Johnson just equate the brexit vote with the Ukrainian's fight?? 🤨 Indeed he did, Johnson is clearly just a Piece of dirt. Ukraine and Brexit - Boris Johnson faces flak Ben Wright BBC political correspondent Getty ImagesCopyright: Getty Images Boris Johnson has said Vladimir Putin had been frightened of Ukraine’s free press and free elections. But it was while Johnson was musing on freedom, that he made a link between Ukrainians fighting for their country and Brexit. In his speech to the Tory spring conference in Blackpool, Johnson said “it is the instinct of the people in this country, like the people of Ukraine, to choose freedom”. He then said the Brexit vote was a “famous recent example”. The remarks, intended to rally the Tory party faithful, riled many outside the hall. Conservative peer lord Barwell, who was Theresa May’s chief of staff in Number 10, said voting in the 2016 referendum wasn’t “in any way comparable with risking your life” in a war. Liberal Democrat Leader Sir Ed Davey said the comparison was an insult to every Ukrainian - while the SNP’s leader at Westminster Ian Blackford called the comments “crass and distasteful”. European Twitter went tonto, too. The former president of the European Council, Donald Tusk, said the words “offended Ukrainians, the British and common sense”. It certainly feels a clumsy comparison to have made while Ukraine fights for its survival. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There’s not a single conservative cabinet minister I rate, then again there’s not many politicians I rate, they’re all there for their own gains either power or otherwise! He may well be worse in time but it does show that there is likely to be a Leadership contest looming. Boris has no idea of economics and is struggling to come to terms with the implications of the crisis he is about to face. He can plead some relief as it is a universal to some respects. But as the Tories were quick to blame Gordon Brown for 2008, then he is a fair target. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
