Is there a way out of this for Putin?

Bullet to the head - better whole mag, the guard who'll do it will have all sins forgiven

Big storming of Kyiv expected, don't think they'll wait one more day because tomorrow ruble is going in deep tulip and most likely hard currency accounts will be frozen.

There's a five mile long Russian Convoy north of Kyiv. It seems to big to stop other than by air force.

I have written to my MP to ask what she's doing to ensure that Ukrainians are welcomed into the UK ..

Sorry, but you're absolutely bonkers!

Don't you think we have enough dinghy people turning up every day, without inviting potentially hundreds of thousands more immigrants?!

Also, allowing Ukrainians to settle in the UK will do the Ukraine a big disservice longer term, and making it even easier for the Russkies to overrun them, because their population has been steadily declining already with youth emigration even before all this kicked off.

Finally, easily done, Ofcom should hurry the feck up - and force youtube to drop that PoS enemy propaganda - fecking site that sells counterfeit bags gets blocked as quick as 1-2-3 FFS

People entering illegally is completely different to people getting a short term visa and coming in via legal channels.

I said a two year visa. This is a short term bolt hole not a home for life. I completely agree they need to go back to Ukraine to rebuild but why would you deny the kids the chance to live somewhere safe for a couple of years? It seems only women and kids are allowed out at the moment so unless you're expecting a babe in arms to wield an AK-47, what is their country losing by ensuring the next generation survives?

Russian Central bank put a block on foreigners trying to sell their Russian securities tomorrow

Yes but Rimmer Directive 271 states just as clearly: 'no chance you metal bastard'.

P.S. EU code could be different, would be great for them to give vacant UK to Ukraine

Russian stock markets had massive crash over last couple of weeks. Everyone already sold by the looks of things.
