They're resigned to that. Very tough people.

They will be around long after Putler's gone.

So he says.


I'd like to see the kompromat on him. Macron's too.

If an 'average American' is a serial rapist, a scammer and a repeated bankrupt as well as being a psychopathic felon married to a former sex worker, then perhaps.

We¡re talking about r*SSia's illegal and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. It is likely to be a difficult six months or so.

London is fairly affordable outside the centre. Spends where you are.

And their thousands of employees in Poland, plus the farmers around Suwałki who sell to them. A longstanding British company too.


100x. He forgets that some of us have spent time in bot(.


Not really for cigs unless it's some dodgy internet thing. Where I am when I'm in England, if you ask for cigs at a small shop, they give you ones with a wonky typeface on the packet for about a quarter of the normal price.

There's nothing that fat clown trumpet can do.


They're still important, and cutting the cables was yet another act of escalation by r*SSia.

We all like a nice salad and some fruit.

More likely because it's cool compared to most of the MENA region and family friendly.


I don't think many of them are Sheiks.


They don't have a strong smell and in any case are out in the desert chewing bushes.

Quite.

Booting just means to kick or to kick out, depending on context.

It's rare though. To give someone the boot is more normal, though there's no implication of boot prints.

In London they filter the gold and other precious elements out.


Loved by some and increasing in number.

Remember that Fascism is more accurately corporatism; ruke by the rich.


And how is its alternative good for the ordinary people?

USA, Canada / Rodeo Ben the "Polish Cowboy" [50]


I don't know if anyone voted on that issue, however the 'war on drugs' that conservative and puritanical elements in America pushed and tried to persuade others to take part in failed wretchedly.


I think I dated him once.

Practical policy. Its impact is small, it costs nothing, it helps to ease ongestion and it rewards users of greener transport.


Sadly, we've had 14 years of Tory hell. There's a lot of libertarian fantasy that needs repairing.

There's a good system there that some cities have introduced to reduce congestion; on certain roads, a lane is reserved for cars with two or more people in. That works, however the trend towards working at home may change that.

Turning from fantasy 'elites' to sinister real ones...

Why would we do that? Did medieval peasants have electric cars and first class publicly owned public transport?


Giving an incentive for clean cars and taking some traffic off the ordinary lane is a good policy.

Love / Polish - Pakistani relationship. How it works in reality? Are Pakistanis a good men? [79]


That suggests a serious issue with the mother who isn't mentioned much and has a right to privacy.

She should never have slipped through the net however that's what happens when you have hardly any Social Workers or Educational Welfare Officers just so the already wealthy can get a tax break and be even wealthier.

That and a family who have a lot to conceal and are good at concealing things.

They don't, but clean quiet traffic in Europe is a good aim.


There's a lot of emotion in it, however in the UK we could cut down on a lot of waste and improve transport.
