Just to address Naomi's "Where else" question, I can't help but wonder if other nations are thinking about doing similar while all eyes are on Ukraine? China in Taiwan perhaps? Even Argentina with the Falklands (although the latter is unlikely)
Ah, right. When you watched that clip, Douglas, it didn’t occur to you that the headline didn’t refer to that - even though he very clearly wasn’t addressing Ukraine. Okay.
May I refer you to my 18.04 post Douglas? Note the important word "now". Not even Boris could speak their languages to both at the same time. Who do you think he is? ... peepee.
//Boris has now spoken to both the people of Ukraine and Russia ... in their own languages.//
He said a line in Russian and then one in Ukranian. It's a nice gesture, and it's more than Donald Trump could have done, but it doesn't make him a genius.
I don't think anyone "considered him a genius" Tomus, any more than they consider you one. What was said is ... ""The media likes to portray him as a bumbling half wit. As ever they misrepresent his intellect.""
Calm down Togo. I just thought it was a bit strange that he was lauded for being able to read out a line in 'foreign'. We could all do that, yourself included probably.
I think his efforts were eminently appropriate but for some Boris can’t do right for doing wrong. Looking at world events right now it’s just as well the carpers have nothing more serious to occupy their thoughts. Funny old world.
