    Look forward to the tug of war between Sadiq trying to appoint some joint-smoking hippy and Patel trying to appoint someone with experience in the Waffen SS. Will make for a splendid police service I'm sure.

    I think ultimately the Home Secretary has the say, despite Sadiq’s flexing.

    The London mayor (small m) is never more of a pompous oaf than when it comes to the Met chief's job. Boris was the same.

    Must be as close as it comes to an impossible job. Crime goes up, you're shit at your job. Crime goes down - as in this case - you'll get caught in a political shitstorm anyway. Happened to the last five or six of them in a row.

    Moldova is a puppet state, as is Belarus.

    It seems like a massive and costly faff for Putin to get this done. Would think he would lose hundreds or even thousands of troops doing it.

    Is that something he would give even one fuck about?

    I just assume Russia still has their attitude of "ATTRITION? Lol. Mate, you know how many farmboys we have back here? You can't kill all of them."

    This is such a stupid thing for the West to be involved in. Russia has more than a reasonable case on not wanting [The] Ukraine moving any closer to NATO structures, and we are in no way capable or willing to force the issue if it comes down to it, which means that we are basically pushing them into the worst case scenario. Meanwhile, we're taking our eye off the Yellow Peril. The shifty French seem to have a better grasp of this than we do, but we can still lol at the pathetic Germans.

    There are similarities, but the main difference is we're no longer a savvy Soviet Navy Officer away from World War III.

    The reason for all this is the same reason for everything. I worked for DuPont when Crimea happened. We lost IIRC 2.7 billion from that because of border shite. They don't want to sanction Russia because of money, they don't want Russia to go to war because that would also be money. That's it. The only reason.

    They're already making money hand over fist, they just don't want change. It's the classic gangsters not wanting war between two minor capos because it causes more headaches than cash.

    I'm not sure what your point is. The push back would be nowhere near as hard if it wasn't for Corporate interests just as it wasn't before the Gas pipeline got threatened last time.

    What 'push back' against what? Against Russia? Wouldn't anti-war corporations be better off just appeasing them then? If so, how are they the 'reason for all of this'?

    We're literally in appeasement mode right now which is why sanctions haven't been placed and if they are will be placed on individuals not the state. I said the reason for major push back against war which is far more stringent than we saw in Crimea is because they have more to lose. Whats so difficult to understand?

    We're sending Ukraine serious weapons, shit talking Russia, and apparently putting a whopping sanctions package together. It's not a particularly clever set of policies, but it isn't appeasing them. If we were appeasing them we would have guaranteed what they want and their troops would be moving away from the border, but the opposite is happening.

    Can't we just give the Arabs a couple of fighter jets for a knocked down price on their gas? I'm the wrong side of 40 for a conscription call up for World War 3 right now.

    What do DuPont do? My cousin works for them after they bought a crowd called FMC he used to work for. I always thought it was something to do with cement, which I never had down as morally wrong.

    Those conspiracy documentaries aren’t my bag really. They all tend to be very samey.

    Edit - I see now it’s an actual film.

    Yeah I seen it was a real film after (though the name really screams conspiracy doc).

    Are there many companies anywhere not polluting anyway? I definitely wouldn’t be making just one the big bad enemy.

    I think I've been quite open that I worked for EvilCorp Ltd for some time.

    I worked in Corporate Comms when that nonce got in the news. We outsourced all our social media to India for a couple of months so I barely had to do any work

    DuPont runs Delaware, there's a reason it's where you go to hide your shady lawsuits and fake money laundering companies.

    This is my absolute favourite kind of heads-have-gone tweet.



    Fuck, you're right, Armando, I imagine the world's international affairs professionals and the people of that and neighbouring countries had completely forgotten about Taiwan until the executive producer of Time Trumpet did a tweet.

    This story covers so many seethe angles it's almost beautiful.

    Wanton expenditure to enrage the anti-royalists [although I guess they have a better £12m to moan about at the moment], an inner city [yeah, ok Brent] halfwit MP calling for the money to be better spent on preventing the further spread of covid to piss off the right-minded, the fact they are going to translate it into Irish to piss off Giggles, it's got it all.

    Translating it into Irish is going to piss off the GS’s of the world a lot more.
