Russia has invaded its neighbour, without any justification. And the United States is now siding with Russia. What do you think we Europeans think of that? 78821

Jon Patience @smoulderstoat.bsky.social · 06/10/2026How can you be sure he's giving you honest advice, and not taking advantage of it? The fact is that Archer, through wealth and privilege, almost entirely avoided the consequences of his actions that the rest of us have to bear. 011
Jon Patience @smoulderstoat.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Maybe we shouldn't speak ill of the dead, but nor should we excuse or diminish their crimes. Successive Tory leaders took advice from Archer as though he'd done nothing more than a bit of double parking. Why would you do that? Why would you take advice from a proven liar? 121
Jon Patience @smoulderstoat.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Bollocks was it. He went from prison straight back into the heart of the Tory party. Now they excuse his crimes as though he just got a speeding ticket, or he'd bunked the fare on a bus. 110
Jon Patience @smoulderstoat.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Jeffery Archer was a liar and a cheat. He was dishonest to the core. Ultimately his dishonesty sent him to prison. He was convicted of perjury and perverting the course of justice. Those are very serious crimes. That ought to have been the end of his public life. 120
