    You ask me if I know Big Brother, the global phenomenon for decades and same show I linked to? You are not the most perceptive chap are you though you have said this yourself to be fair. Explains why you come prearmed with a "people who call me a thicko are poopy" line in your profile. So we have to be predictable and give you what you are expecting more of then:)

    Funny, except he had just been a member of parliament for six years from memory and so it creeped the effing hell out of the whole UK back in the '90s.

    Nobody will argue the Galloway was not clever but he is a proper, full on narcissist who could make any issue he chose like Palestine about himself (while cozying up to dictators in parallel).

    So its no surprise he is one of Putie's fans. An unbroken pattern with the guy. Same as Trump he believed in influencing narcissism via his own expert knowledge; also getting his chin tickled while doing it.

    Basically Galloway should stick to the S&M dungeon, his natural environment. He is a magnet for pseudo-people narcissist feeders, as was Trump.

    BTW, who is Will Smith?

    Does it include Trump and his MAGA cronies?

    Good read of Zelensky’s interview with Russian journalists. Important questions and Zelensky represents that areas in the Donbas and Crimea will not be attacked by Ukraine, all but ceding the land to Russia. What I found interesting is that Zelensky gets a little loose in the interview and pokes some underhanded comments at Putin himself. Like I said, good read:

    Zelensky has stated multiple times that Ukraine is seeking peace without delays. He has already agreed that Ukraine will not join NATO (be neutral), and is looking for security guarantees.

    Putin does not want peace without delays. After his failed military invasion where he failed to take the entire country in the projected three weeks, Putin is looking for a way out that allows him to still declare "victory" -- which at this point has been framed as grabbing the natural resource rich eastern Ukraine region. Due to this the Russians will battle on -- in an attempt to firmly grab the eastern part of Ukraine.

    Zelensky -- for the sake of stopping the destruction & civilian deaths -- has put Russian control of the eastern provinces on the table over the past 48 hours. The Ukraine leadership is the only one seeking an honest cessation of hostilities in this conflict. The Russian approach to "peace" talks is to only use them to push ultimatums, press their fabricated talking points and to delay any peace while they seek to re-frame "Putin's victory" -- all smoke & mirrors.

    I see my friend who has been helping set up defences and offences east of Odessa spend two nights in Paris this weekend. Bit of Michelín star dinner action and other action I'm sure.

    I expect that means an attack on Odessa is expected. Hopefully not, apparently its a nice place.

    sux if true. Wish they could keep killing fascists until they'd bankrupt the Kremlin.
