Not sure if there is a topic running , but interested in your views ,
Feel so dreadfully sorry for the people there .....

20 million tons of wheat exports ?
Putin has done this every year for the past few years. I think it's politically convenient for Boris to make a big song and dance about this. Obviously you never know for sure with Putin but he uses this to rally patriotic support for him.

I think media and Bbc obsessed with Boris parties and deflecting attention from Ukraine.
He's under Police investigation for possibly / probably breaking the laws which he made.

What are the BBC / media supposed to do, just ignore it ???

You might think it's trivial that it's one rule for us but another for them, many people are very annoyed !!!

Ukraine became independent 1990-91 I think?

Deflecting attention from Boris parties.
In the grand scheme of things the Downing Street parties are relatively trivial, plenty of similar going on throughout the country amongst the wider population, it wasn’t just Borris plenty of others there too, all in positions where they ought to know better.


But there is a matter of principle too, these were the folk making the rules yet not following them, doesn’t say much for their integrity.

I doubt western countries would be pulling their people out of Ukraine if there wasn’t a serious threat of invasion.
Clearly more than a bit of annual sabre rattling.

I think the media is obsessed with Boris, and still can't get over him winning the referendum on EU membership, so all they are worried about is getting the majority of the country to get back behind the "right" decision! Yes, he has been a poor manager and leader, and I believe put too much effort behind the green/animal rights/rewilding agenda but there are bigger problem in the world at the moment, which the opposition should be concentrating on holding the government to account for. The biggest is the problems in the Ukraine, and thinking not just of the world food supply but the poor people who live there.
