The man seems quite incredible. I didn’t know much about him until now but he seems incredibly brave and intelligent. Was just reading an article about how he has been tirelessly and successfully speaking to western leaders to get stiffer sanctions and support implemented, I really hope he remains safe.

Boris was fine with taking Russian money and Putin helping him to win the Brexit referendum. I have no doubt that if we were invaded Johnson would push ahead of everyone to high tail it out.

Zelensky is an inspiring, lead from the front, man. By contrast our PM is cowardly, fridge hiding donkey who'd shove the queen in front of him if it came to it.

also so impressed and amazed at the Ukrainian people in general., including the women making Molotov cocktails.

Trixiefirecracker · 28/02/2022 12:54

@TooBigForMyBoots absolutely!

[quote SuperSocks]@OnlyAFleshWound Are you in Ukraine at the moment?![/quote]
No no! I'm in London. But I am the descendant of Ukrainian (and Polish) Jews, and we are all very proud of him. Sorry for unintentional confusion

TokyoSushi · 28/02/2022 13:01

He's absolutely fantastic. I'm a little bit in love with him. What a brave man.

SuperSocks · 28/02/2022 13:04

@OnlyAFleshWound Oh, ok, duh!

HufflepuffPride · 28/02/2022 13:12

He won their version of Strictly in 2006! He can really move as well.

BeenHereForAges · 28/02/2022 13:17

Couldn't agree more. Hes an amazing leader. Praying for him and the Ukraine.

Trixiefirecracker · 28/02/2022 13:25

is he really the voice of Paddington Bear???!

TooBigForMyBoots · 28/02/2022 13:26

Yes.Grin

theveryhungrycatapillar · 28/02/2022 13:33

They elected a comedian and got a leader, we elected leaders who turned out to be comedians!

He's doing great such bravery.

SuitcaseOfWhine · 28/02/2022 14:50

Boris is probably already hiding in his bunker/fridge.

TiddyTidTwo · 28/02/2022 15:18

Why has his Twitter account been suspended ????

TiddyTidTwo · 28/02/2022 15:24

Ignore, he's still there

Only in the Ukraine @Trixiefirecracker.

@backintothefire

Please don't give Boris any ideas...the world is not ready.
TiddyTidTwo · 28/02/2022 16:03

Elon is on it! Despite Putin trying to take out Ukrainian communications, they now have full access to the fastest internet access in the world. And Putin can touch it... well he might but there's too many implications if he does.

The world is rising against Putin,

Thank you.

I really could not have put it better myself.

zingally · 28/02/2022 16:11

I've got endless admiration for the man! Balls of steel!

I personally can't imagine any of our most recent leaders donning fatigues and joining the troops to fight on the front line!

He's doing great such bravery.

And, he has balls of steel, is the voice of Paddington Bear and won Strictly.

No wonder Putin hates him, the charmless, piggy-eyed little man.

Cute, but honestly we actually elected a comedian. Johnson rose to prominence through playing the clown.

Glad it worked out better for Ukraine!

pussycatunpickingcrossesagain · 28/02/2022 18:17

for the evening crowd.
