Two months ago, Mariupol was a comfortable city, about the size of Manchester or Dublin, with great restaurants and bars. Now it has gone - its people deported or driven out, its buildings flattened. Thus does Putin, who poses as a Russian patriot, treat Russophone populations.

RT @DanielJHannan: If Labour is truly convinced that the country shares its hatred of Boris Johnson, why is it so keen to remove him before the next election? 🤔

RT @DanielJHannan: Bees build around the honeycomb of lungs,
Ants around white bone.
Torn is paper, rubber, linen, leather, flax,
Fibre, fabrics, cellulose, snakeskin, wire.
The roof and wall collapse in flame.
Now there is only the earth, sandy, trodden down,
With one leafless tree.

RT @navalny: 1/9 A passport with the surname “Navalny” lies next to the dead body on the ground. This is one of the people killed in the Ukrainian village of Bucha. Ilya Ivanovich Navalny.

Galtieri's fascist junta saw the Falkland Islanders as alien settlers, not as sundered kin. But, harsh as the occupation was, islanders were not brutalised as Ukrainians now are by Putin. Not for lack of resistance, either, as @LordAshcroft reminds us. https://www.lordashcroftonbravery.com/press/the-brave-resistance/

Interesting from @_HelenDale. I'm not sure it's so much good and bad nationalisms as nationalism ("where there is a nation, let there be a state") versus imperialism, the more usual form of human organisation down the centuries. Whaddaya reckon @yhazony? https://lawliberty.org/i-vow-to-thee-my-country/

Shocked to hear this. Last week, @amirkingkhan was with a group of Conservative MPs and peers building a playground for Ukrainian refugees in Poland. You don't expect to come back to guns in the UK.
RT @amirkingkhan: Just had my watch taken off me at gun point in East London, Leyton. I crossed the road with Faryal, luckily she was few steps behind me. 2 men ran to me, he asked for my watch whist having a gun pointed in my face. …

#OTD 1943, SS units, accompanied by police and auxiliaries, sought to clear the Warsaw Ghetto. They were repulsed by Molotov cocktails and small arms fire. Two boys raised the flags of the Jewish Combat Union and of Poland from the highest building. They flew for five days.

RT @andrew_lilico: I initially merely suspected that no-one other than Boris had bn fined for receiving a birthday cake or birthday greetings from work colleague whilst genuinely at work. Now I believe we can be certain no-one else was. If anyone else was, the media would have found them by now.+

RT @BillKristol: NOTE TO THE PRESIDENT
Want to reverse inflationary pressures?
1. Increase immigration.
2. Reduce tariffs (start w/ Trump's) and trade barriers.
3. Make domestic oil and gas exploration far easier (cut permitting time) to put real and fast downward pressure on energy prices.

“There is no evidence that the human race is to last forever, and plenty in Scripture to the contrary effect. For all I know, it is within the providence of God that humanity should destroy itself in this manner.”
