    There’s a saying about Yorkshire folk, probably invented by rival Northerners, but could just as easily have been a self-deprecation:

    “Yorkshire born and Yorkshire bred; Strong in t’ arm and weak in t’ 'ead.”

    I think we’ve found the Yorkshireman the saying was about.

    Condolences to his family. Double if they’re as daft as he was.

    Tom Tugendhat […] expressed his sympathies to Townsend’s family but described his actions as “unbelievably stupid”

    LMAO

    I wonder if the recruiting office in Russia for foreigners has a sign saying something like “You have to be at least this stupid to join” and a picture of some moron with a MAGA hat.

            There is some nuance about how Putin got himself in a weak political position such that he felt the need for a desperate military victory, but it fundamentally is an imperialist action to colonize another country, yes

          Only that their offices are empty, since there are no more Ukrainian men to force into the NATO proxy war. So who cares about signs?

          If only you jesters actually cared about the Ukrainian people. What a sad state of affairs this comm is in.

            I want the Ukrainian people to be able to live in Ukraine and make their own democratic choices without being invaded by Russia. Choices such as joining NATO if they wish to do so.

            I hope nobody is forced to fight if they don’t want to. But like I say, I also hope that Russia does not invade Ukraine. Russia should withdraw their murderous invasion immediately.

        Probably something along the lines of “Not feeling like discussing with tankies and Russia apologists today”.

          Oh, how cowardly unsurprising. I can change the instance, if you’re that frightened by a top level domian, so that your immediate reaction is mud slinging.

            Ah, right. Sniping the exact comment in this deranged thread for “Not engaging in good faith”, that sources the busification reality showcasing how the Ukraine government acts towards its own citizens. Check the modlog for the link.

            Mate, you should go fight for Russia. I think their recruiting offices would qualify you.

                So, you’re another one of these heroes that actually do not give a flying fuck about the Ukrainian people, but instead prefer to be witty on the internet? Nice, be proud, real good human material.

              Why would I, because you want me dead? You think that’s a reasonable answer?

                No, but because you were obviously too stupid to understand the subtle hint I gave earlier:

                “Not feeling like discussing with tankies and Russia apologists today”

                  And yet you do. But surely, I’m the stupid one here. So what does the Ukrainian sign say? What do you say about the link I posted?
