• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler
    Owner, jackarmy.net

Glad you’re above all that.

And William Rees-Mogg agrees with you. "Ukraine war shows ‘partygate’ was ‘fluff’, says Jacob Rees-Mogg in his speech to this week's Conservative Party Conference.

The obnoxious comments by the obnoxious Rees-Mogg underlines my point.
 
No fan of Corbyn but just imagine if the Daily Mail had scrutinized Boris and his Russian friends with the same amount of outrage. Fecking Tories - always been a security risk.
 
I've always been bemused by the idea that we can't think about more than one thing at a time to be honest. The shocking events in Ukraine deserve the most attention of course, but surely we're all aware that certain parties see times like this as the perfect opportunity to get away with underhand things. Perhaps that's what the P&O bosses thought and it's certainly what Rees-Mogg thinks, with his typical sneering at the vast majority of the population of this country.

I can't say I understand your point. I am hugely angered, disgusted and appalled by the fascist Putin and his invasion of Ukraine, I am angered and appalled by the Tory scumbags currently governing the UK. The two things aren't mutually exclusive.
 
Johnson also has no problem attacking the Labour leadership during this crisis. This is a tweet from James O'Brien of LBC that I completely agree with.

"Starmer has, for good or for ill, been at pains to prioritise unity against Russia. He’s declined to score easy points at PMQs & decided that now is not the time to press harder for Johnson’s resignation. In return, today Johnson claimed Labour would raise a white flag to Putin." In in a speech at the Conservative Party Conference.

He also equated Ukraine's fight for freedom with Britain voting for Brexit. As well as a disgusting trivialisatiom of what's going on in Ukraine, it was also deeply ironic, since Ukraine has repeatedly expressed a wish to join the EU in recent times. Yes, Boris certainly knows how to boost the European united cause against Putin. Obnoxious Tory bastard.

How fecking low can the Eton mess get? Needs to be an inquiry into his relationship with Lebedev and quickly. Hope MI6 have the bastards card marked.

Maybe, but I think this guy was a relatively minor player in recent years. Anyway, we don't want them to jump ship, we want one of them to quietly steal up behind Putin and put two ounces of lead into his nodle.
I was encouraged to read in another Guardian article that the sanctions are biting hard. Russians are panic buying and queueing for hours to get their hands on basic foodstuffs. The rouble has collapsed. They are saying its like being back in the USSR. We need it to get much worse and then maybe the pressure will build to get rid of the poundshop Hitler.
 
There are two (maybe more) series on i-player about Putin that I watched recently. None of whats happening right now is even remotely surprising having watched those programmes. Maybe I (we) should have payed more attention.
 
Kharkiv, 30 kilometers from Russia...
