As a Ukrainian, I don’t need lectures about how “great russian culture” is. Their missiles explained it well enough.

Here's a new daily thread, after a very lively, and late, end to the previous day documenting Russia's war crimes in Ukraine. So I hope you forgive the late start today. Day 1641 There is zero doubt in my mind Russia is committing genocide. Why won't the world call it out?

Nigel Farage suggests the police advised him against attending the result of the Clacton by-election. Essex Police completely deny this, telling the BBC "we have a proportionate and robust policing operation to ensure the safety and security of all participants in the count"

The only things this ridiculous Clacton by-election farce have confirmed: 1) Farage is wholly unfit for public office, given his willingness to abuse it 2) Farage is corrupt 3) Farage is an attention-seeking, charmless, lying dickhead 4) Clacton has let us all down. Again. That’s it.

While I understand people coming after him, he has a point As someone who is delighted Ingurlund lost, why is this different? Not that I expect FIFA to set any kind of precedent and uphold it, or show any spine at all This isn't a horrible take by him though and I think the reactions show bias
