No idea fella whether the laws were labours or coalition or when set up. Without that knowledge cannot conclude ought. Just the politicos saying gonna change them. Way above my pay grade.
Really with the West continuing to pay all his bills he doesn't seem that daft to me, why would he turn off the gas from his best paying customer?
Thats why I asked if the Tories had changed them since they took over, if not the Lab lot obviously thought they were ok as is.
As I said all as bad as one tuther, if bad is the right word
Jeez Putin must worried sick that we might get involved, better get those battery powered war planes rolled out!

To get what he wanted I’d have thought. Now he’s having to work for it.
Far better to have the West pay for it rather than turn off the gas & him having to pay for it himself!

Have you ever read Orwell’s’ Animal Farm?
I see the exchange rate is now 98 Roubles to the Dollar so he's receiving 98 Billion Roubles a week, I would guess that would pay for a few replacement tanks etc, bit expensive to fill up an army tank at the local Ukrainian petrol station but they probably just put it on a tab!

Like there was no way we'd end up losing out in Afghanistan, you can't argue with armchair experts after all!

The Ukrainians are more than happy to supply the Russians with petrol.... one litre at a time along with a piece of rag and a light for their cigarettes....
And how long before the Russians repay them in lead?

You cannot buy back dead soldiers no matter how much you get for your oil and gas. You might have handed over your dinner money as a child but I was taught to stand up for what is right. Fortunately the Ukrainians are doing that for us and hopefully they will buy us some time and hopefully they will make Putin think twice before heading off elsewhere.

How is St Petersburg this time of year?
No idea but New Zealand is looking pretty inviting!
Bloody good job someone else is paying the price, didn't hand it over the dinner money I got the little weedy kid in glasses to fight & I cheered him on from well behind!
