    Bit judgemental.

    Honestly, why do these people hate their own country quite so much?
    I get what you mean, man. Secret allegiance to Vladimir Putin's engorged male member. Kind of disgusting.

    Speaking of which, one of my contacts is a solid bud of Vladimir Putin. I find it's useful to foster such contacts, and I will continue to do so.

    Orwell - as ever - had these cvnts' number.

    England is perhaps the only great country whose intellectuals 
are ashamed of their own nationality. In left-wing circles it is always felt that there is something slightly disgraceful in being an Englishman and that it is a duty to snigger at every English institution, from horse racing to suet puddings. It is a strange fact, but it is unquestionably true that almost any English intellectual would feel more ashamed of standing to attention during ‘God save the King’ than of stealing from a poor box. All through the critical years many left-wingers were chipping away at English morale, trying to spread an outlook that was sometimes squashily pacifist, sometimes violently pro-Russian, but always anti-British.”

    Yeah, he was a bit of a fanny about that, tbh. Sometimes one simply has to do what is needful to show the coolies who's boss. I don't see the problem myself.

    They will expel a few of ours and deny the whole thing and nothing will change.

    Pathetic.
    This is a measured response designed to offer the Russians an opportunity to de-escalate while making it clear that more radical options are there should they choose not to. It's part of the dance.

    I quite agree.
