    Syria. Putin. Israel. Geopolitics.

    WTF has this got to do with Putin invading the Ukraine?

    "Perhaps it's because of the massive Russian donations to the Tory party"

    Context. Tory government. Money laundering. Impartiality.


    It's a good guess, but somehow I don't think it has anything to do with Putin invading Ukraine. In the unlikely event these 'massive' donations exist at all, were they as massive as the donation Labour's Gardiner received from the Chinese ?

    According to Gardiner he did not profit from Miss Lee's half a million quid which is about as disingenuous as you claiming the Tory Party have not been on take from Russian oligarchs.

    "In my opinion Arab countries are united in their disgraceful disinclination to provide succour to the Palestinians who are trapped on the Gaza Strip. As far as they are concerned, the Palestinians are "our dear and beloved brothers," just as long as they stay far away from the Arab countries and remain a headache solely for Israel."

    WTF has this got to do with Putin invading the Ukraine?

    Part of a continuing discourse with Balan.

    "I don’t like Arabs Balan.…"

    WTF has this racist remark got to do with Putin invading the Ukraine?
    Fact. I've dealt with Arabs in business. They are almost as disingenuous as the Tory Party. Qatar. Moscow. World Cup. Corruption. FIFA. Geopolitics. Syria. Israel. Lack of condemnation. It's not racist to say I don't like chocolate teapots. I don't like Arabs. I don't like Putin. Fair enough?

    Fair enough for me, you can post what you like mon ami, but you were the one attempting to censor/limit what was discussed on this thread, so I ask the same question you did, WTF has any of the above got to do with Putin invading Ukraine ?

    That's pure unadulterated bollox sinkov. In the globalised world of geopolitical problems, one dickhead in the Labour Party does not come close to the repugnant Tory Party's acceptance of Russian money.

    I'd go as far to say it might influence how they react to the despotic Putin's agenda. Don't bite the hand that feeds you and all that.

    Corbyn gets chucked out of the PLP for made up/fake anti-Semitism, Gardiner keeps the whip despite accepting money from China with a suspicion of spying.

    Johnson & Starmer really should go on the stage as a two-man comedy act.

    Not really interested in the above BT, my point is your attempt to censor what can and cannot be discussed on this thread. It's not how this msgboard normally operates, and it's not how you normally operate. What's the matter with you mon ami, this is not Facebook, Twitter or YouTube. Did you eat a bad pie last night ?

    I respectfully suggested you open a separate thread to ridicule Barry Gardiner for getting involved with a Chinese spy. How is that censorship? I asked you to discuss it - not thwart it.

    You were talking about the Tory party receiving donations from Russian oligarchs, if you think that has anything to do with Putin invading Ukraine you have a vivid imagination mon ami. Oligarchs bunging Tories has as much relevance to Russian troops in Ukraine as has the Chinese bunging Labour's Gardiner, and if one can be discussed, so can the other. I could respectfully suggest you start a thread on Tory sleaze if you want to discuss that, but I won't, we discuss what we want, when we want, where we want on here usually, or are you changing the rules ?
