    Besides, it's pretty funny to watch the same people who've been calling anyone to the right of Jeremy Corbyn 'Nazis' for the last few years start clutching their pearls because someone draws a valid historical parallel.

    It isnt a valid historical parallel and is thoroughly irresponsible for a chap who is supposed to oversee our diplomacy. Thoroughly undiplomatic and this is going to be incredibly offensive to Russian people. More **** stirring from a government massively out of its depth.

    You and me can say it,a foreign secretary cannot. This is what you get when you give an amiable buffoon a potentially significant job.

    Have you ever met a Russian, p? It's hard to offend a Russian, given that they are the thickest-skinned of all the barbarians, and they're generally far too pissed to hear what you've said anyway.

    I'm a lefty. You think I never talk to Russians? Come on, man...where is your right wing paranoia when I need it?

    I know plenty of russians, have been there several times, including a suspiciously long stay in the early 90s......

    If you went there before the liberation, saw conditions under socialism, and still espouse such a system, I am afraid I am going to have to hunt you down and kill you.

    Sorry about that.

    Fair enough; I stand corrected.
