Too late - your error is frozen in time for all future generations to titter over. ?
I read the news today oh boy! Page 2,363
Aye all of them are Lord Haw Haws that would become Quislings and Petain's at the drop of a fedora and a kepi.
I used to like the news. It was my favourite programme. But last year's series was not very good. For this one they seem to have brought in new writers. Personally, I much prefer the old writers. I think they should bring them back.
Perhaps if they had written the truth then, we wouldn't be here now. We need to get back to news writers that rely on facts not roubles, unicorns and bigotry.
What happened to lorry driver shortages?
What happened to food shortages?
What happened to petrol shortages?
I'm beginning to think there's a shortage of shortages.
Putin has out-Dead-Catted everybody.

What happened to coronavirus?
There are the 44 million citizens of Ukraine in terrible distress and over 200,000 Russian troops bearing down on them while virtually sitting on each others' laps in tanks.
And not one of these people has the merest sniffle.
It's a bleeding miracle.
I don't think it's a laughing matter but the West has turned its back on Ukraine. It will be part of a new Soviet Union shortly because we did nothing to help.
Do you really want us to take to the skies and the battlefield against Russia?
That way lies world war and ... well unimaginable consequences
I think we have done as much as we safely can
We've essentially now turned Russia into a European North Korea - totally isolated from the rest of the civilised world
And of course Putin will stop at that. He's seen we're doing nothing so he'll do a Hitler.

Hitler didn't have over 6000 nuclear missiles at his disposal
You really wanna get up close and personal with this sadistic motherf**ker?
Good luck!

I think you're right.
But....
He will occupy Ukraine but it will be a terrific drag on his military .
It's a long border and he can't man very inch if it.
Weapons and people will get in.
The Ukrainian resistance will badger him relentlessly, and the conscript soldiers, miles from their babushkas, will grow weary & resentful.
He will turn on his military leaders at these failures - which will breed increasing resentment
Meanwhile, cut off from the West, the Oligarchs will have nowhere to spend their stolen billions - so they'll have their trophy wives in their ear - which will breed resentment.
I think he's just set off a bomb under his throne, albeit with a very long fuse.
Poor Ukraine will pay the price, though.
I was in Kiev in 1977, and what a beautiful city.........my heart goes out to all those in peril there.
Charming though the new naming of storms is - from any bit of mild breeze to presumably a nuclear winter - what I was going to suggest is that maybe we shouldn't be racing too quickly through the letters, much as people are keen, towards V for Vladimir.
However, it appears that V has already be chosen and thankfully it isn't that name. The full current list follows. Is it just me or is it actually that the names that have been chosen are so bizarre, it proves yet again that everybody has gone completely round the twist?

Believe it or not, you can check in Google, the patron saint of refugees is someone called St Cargo.
I've never heard of him. You've never heard of him.
Wouldn't it be a lot nicer and much more usefully high profile if we changed it to Paddington Bear?
