I was also thinking along those lines.

In which case, btw, will the NL be suspended or abandoned?

Suspended. Boreham Wood will get 50% of the compensation package, the rest will share the other 50%.

Apart from Chesterfield, who will furlough all players, staff, and spectators.

A very difficult situation but seeing more of this I feel Putin is now isolating himself even more with remarkably his own people, it seems that the average Russian seems shocked by this, perhaps the end to all this will come from an unlikely source the Russian people themselves?

and in the Russian corporate boardrooms, if the western media are to be believed [can of worms]. Putin jails most opponants, as far as i can tell

Absolutely this. We don't have to set one boot on the ground in Ukraine at this time. Many of those closest to Putin and many other extraordinarily rich Russians that possibly disagree with him but have remained silent so far would soon change their tune if their assets were frozen.

Johnson is more likely to make Putin a lord as opposed to closing the UK bank accounts of his mates. Him and his corrupt Tory/Brexit mates are completely compromised. A truly sad state of affairs.

Do you honestly think that Johnson has closed the bank accounts of Tory/Brexit backers? They have donated over £2m to the Tory party and unaccounted amounts of money to campaign for Brexit.

35 of Putin’s pals were on the Navalny list. Only 2 have been sanctioned in any way by the UK government in the latest round of sanctions.

I see Farrage, Banks, GB News et al are now showing their true colours. Backing Putins aggression over the sovereignty of an allied nation. They are nothing but Putins puppets. All those calls of people that thought leaving the EU were 'enemies of the people' and 'traitors'. We now see who the real traitors are and always were. I feel sorry for people that have been sucked in by Brexit and Johnson. I don't feel sorry for those that are still happy to believe their lies.

[Mapperleypie]

That before we talk about Johnson sticking friend of Putin Evgeny Lebedev in the house of lords.

I think it has been shown to be highly accurate! Boris has done nothing of use. This is a full scale invasion so all Russian assets and actors should be fully sanctioned. Sort out the good guys later.

Only if you are stupid enough to believe Boris Johnson when he claims to have unleashed "a barrage of sanctions" against Russia.

He's merely given them a mild slap on the wrist.
