War huh? Nobody could have missed the news this week, Russian troops invaded Ukraine which to be fair was no great surprise as it has been on the cards for weeks. The reasons behind this are, apparently Russia fears Ukraine becoming a member of NATO which we assume would lead to US forces being stationed there? Russia would say they are protecting their own borders. Russia also wants to install its own puppet government into Kiev, something they’ve tried and largely failed to do for years. Also there’s the small matter of a crucial oil pipeline running through the country. This is obviously a shit situation, not least for those directly involved, which could lead to many thousands of civilian deaths. Sane people can only hope the bombs and bullets cease very soon without too many casualties. We all wish the people in Ukraine well but those on Facebook adding a Ukrainian flag to their profile, I see straight through you.
The so called ‘free world’ is up in arms and rightly so but
people have short memories. Two decades ago USA and GB invaded two sovereign nations
on the pretence of security; looking for a terrorist figure who was actually in
another country and ‘weapons of mass destruction’ which no longer existed. Then there was what they called ‘regime
change’ basically installing pro US puppet governments. Of course the oil fields had nothing to do
with their motives… Needless to say
thousands of innocent people died and after the ‘allied’ troops withdrew both
regions were plunged into chaos. I
suppose what I’m saying is in the recent past, ‘we’ have been guilty of doing
what Russia is doing now, people in glass houses shouldn’t play cricket.
It is true to say that Russia is behaving like a thug but
the US is the great world bully and GB the gobshite, short arsed sidekick. Posing and posturing, standing up to Putin
but Biden inspires no confidence, at times he seems barely conscious but thank
fuck it isn’t Trump! Then look at our
own supposed leader who in any previous generation would not have been deemed
suitable for any kind of public office but here he is, embarrassing us on the
world stage.
Talking of our esteemed prime minister… Last year when I was doing the right thing by
staying away from beloved people and my favourite fishing places, that cunt was
partying. When last Christmas I stood in
a cold garden so I could visit my family, that cunt was partying. Through my mother’s dying months when most of
us were largely locked down, that cunt was partying. And at her funeral, held with restrictions on
numbers and other things that bullshitting, racist, fat cunt was partying.
Sport :- I’m glad Giles, Silverwood and co have done the
decent thing and stepped away and welcomed the appointment of Strauss, for whom
I have a lot of respect. But leaving
Anderson and Broad out of the squad to tour West Indies deserves a public
investigation and possible police involvement.
If nothing else its disrespectful to West Indies who beat us last time
we visited the Caribbean, this after Curran was picked in favour of Broad in
Barbados. Our greatest bowling
partnership should be picked on merit for as long as they are fit and able. If they don’t return to the test side this
summer I might end up cheering for the opposition.
And finally… There
are some people out there who believe the BBC is biased and evil. This opinion is all their own and is made
from their own great judgement and intelligent insight. In no way is this opinion influenced by the
commercial media from whom they get their information.
Thought for the month.
Vanity = Ugliness.
