Spy on spy - tense exchange a few days ago between the head of spy services and Putin during a security meeting about the Russian-controlled territories in east Ukraine. Head of spy nervously stuttering when questioned by his boss: either a great bluffer being a spy after all, or he clearly knows things about Putin that we don't and what he is capable of doing...

Minute 34:30 - the kind of straight to the point dissecting of that murdering bastard's actions you will never see from the bbc nor sky nor any other mainstream channel in the UK:

Good. Stay the fuck away from all tournaments. More opportunities to win for others.

Yeah, and no medical expert has signed on that abhorrent decision, despite the fact that we have daily cases and deaths on the rise in England - where the fuck are Witty and Tam? Did the lying-corrupted-fat-blonde Eton buffoon swallow them whole for afternoon tea or during a recent boozy party with his equally lying corrupted chums? As if the Sue Gray report will ever see the light of the day in full - never.
Madness. Absolute scary madness.
And on top of that, the whole border control catastrophe due to that fuckery called Brexit + the oh so wonderful tax hikes on our hard earned money we are all so eager to get slashed in less than two months until we are all squeezed to death. If it ain't a bloody virus to kill us, rest assured the Tories will do everything they couldn't care less to do to ensure quality of life is available for all in Brexit land.
The lowest of the low in power. Scary times in Brexit land, scary times...

Meanwhile in Far-right-Eton island....
UK politics: Keir Starmer rescued from angry demonstrators by police – as it happened
Evil conniving cocks.
But Johnson won't withdraw the insult he lashed out against Starmer last week, besides it's too late now.
Traditionally the Tories have no issue taking you down once you no longer serve their purposes; they bring you up just as easily as they take you down in no time - Thatcher, May, a few past examples. What else does it need to be unearthed about and by this despicable cockwomble Eton buffoon for the conservatives to take him down? Do they really believe that their party is beautifully led by the best possible ever leader they ever chose to lead them and the country too?! Do they really believe conservative voters are happy with the way their beloved party MPs have behaved in the wake of all the allegations that have emerged, not to mentioned the abysmal increases of EVERYTHING in people's lives since they have been in power, and bound to be increasing to staggering levels from April this year with all the tax hikes the Tories are rolling out???!

In this case however I wonder what the logic for blaming US is. Ukraine obviously wants to join EU and NATO and those organizations in theory are open to new members.

If only the U.S. for once refrained from typically interfering in foreign affairs, badly poking their nose therefore escalating shit further. Yeah, the hypocrisy.

More rule braking shit by the government being unearthed.. and they even did use an Abba song, The Winner Takes it All, which by the way it has nothing to do with winning against someone, only the most superficial shallow people in the world use that Abba's song as a victory-over-someone type of song - who cares anyway, they are going to get away with it, as usual.
The smug on their self-assured faces, pathetic:
Downing Street party after Dominic Cummings quit 'played Winner Takes It All'
Downing Street party after Dominic Cummings quit 'played Winner Takes It All' (msn.com)
Friends of Carrie Johnson are alleged to have held a triumphant ‘Winner Takes It All’ party with numerous Abba tracks to mark the resignation of Dominic Cummings.
As chaos around a series of alleged lockdown-breaking gatherings at Downing Street continues to engulf the Tory government, Sue Gray has taken evidence about a ‘victory party’ on the night of November 13, 2020.
It reportedly happened hours after the prime minister’s former chief adviser was pictured leaving Number 10, carrying a box with his belongings.
He had allegedly lost a power struggle with Boris Johnson’s then fiancée and other advisers, the Daily Mail reports.
‘There was the sound of lots of banging and dancing and drinking, and a number of Abba tracks – including a triumphalist Winner Takes It All,’ a source told the newspaper.
A spokesperson for Mrs Johnson, quoted by the publication, insisted any claims about a party on that date are ‘totally untrue’.
The Tory leader’s closest and most controversial aide was forced to resign after weeks of public scrutiny over his notorious trip to Barnard Castle to ‘test his eyesight’ during the height of the pandemic in 2020.
As Mr Johnson was forced to defend himself in the Commons in December last year over claims there was a secret party for staff on December 18, Mr Cummings dropped a bomb on Twitter about another flat bash on the day of his departure.
He wrote: ‘Will the CABSEC also be asked to investigate the *flat* party on Fri 13 Nov, the other flat parties, & the flat’s ‘bubble’ policy…?’
Following the damning allegations, Labour MP Catherine West asked during PMQs if the prime minister could confirm whether there was a part in Downing Street that day.
He replied ‘no’ and added: ‘I’m sure that whatever happened the guidance was followed and the rules were followed at all times.’
The Metropolitan Police could now investigate the Abba party as part of their investigation, and call on Mrs Johnson to provide written evidence.
The enquiry will reportedly focus on eight out of 17 parties looked at by Ms Gray and the force has requested that her report has only ‘minimal reference’ to the events, to ‘avoid any prejudice’ to its investigation.
Further claims of gatherings, including an alleged surprise birthday party for the prime minister in 2020, have emerged in recent days.
Mr Johnson and senior ministers have continued to dodge questions from the opposition, excusing themselves with Ms Gray’s report, which is set to determine whether lockdown rules were indeed breached.
It is understood that the prime minister’s wife has not been interviewed by the senior civil servant or approached by the police.
But ex-chief superintendent Dai Davies, who was in charge of Royal Protection, told the Daily Mail that those who have been interviewed by Ms Gray could in fact retract their testimony.
He said: ‘Now it’s a legal quagmire. Anyone who has spoken to her inquiry could retract their evidence, arguing they did not know it could be used against them in a criminal inquiry.’
Metro.co.uk has contacted Downing Street for a comment.

They can shove their Greenland trade deal up the only orifice that didn't get a Covid-lockdown party treatment with cake and booze, as they are about to be squeezing the population even more through that bloody evil national insurance tax hike they are rolling out.
Same old story since the dawn of rich and poor: the rich always taking from the poor.
Scumbags. Cockwomble lying scumbags, vile vampires the lot of them.
National Insurance: Opposition MPs urge rethink on April tax rise
National Insurance: Opposition MPs urge rethink on April tax rise - BBC News
Opposition MPs have accused the prime minister and the chancellor of ignoring struggling families, after they confirmed taxes would rise in April.
Writing in the Sunday Times, Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak insisted their £12bn National Insurance increase would go ahead, despite opposition.
Labour, the Lib Dems and some Tory MPs are urging a rethink, arguing workers cannot afford more tax at the moment.
Foreign Secretary Liz Truss the hike was needed due to Covid spending.
She said the Tories wanted to be able to lower taxes to boost the economy - but government support during the pandemic had to be "paid back".
Under the plans, employees, employers and the self-employed will all pay 1.25p more in the pound for National Insurance from April 2022 for a year.
From April 2023, the extra tax will be collected as a new Health and Social Care Levy. Legislation to set it up was approved in Parliament in September.
The government says the money will initially help clear NHS backlogs, and then be moved into social care system over the next three years.
But critics - including some Conservatives - say the rise will place a tougher burden on the lower-paid and should be scrapped.
There is also concern about the timing of the increase, with the cost of energy soaring and rising inflation also pushing up the cost of food and other bills.
Business groups have also warned about the effect of the rise on small companies and the wider economy.
Shadow levelling up secretary Lisa Nandy called on the government to "rethink" the planned rise, adding it would see people's incomes "squeezed even more".
She told BBC One's Sunday Morning programme: "You can't possibly hit people with more taxes at the moment. It's just simply not possible for a lot of people to survive."
"The stories that I'm hearing from people across the country about the sacrifices they're going to have to make are enormous."
She added Labour would be "doing everything that we can over the next few weeks to try and appeal to Tory MPs' consciences".
'Number one priority'
The Liberal Democrats have described the National Insurance rise as unfair.
Party leader Sir Ed Davey called for action on energy prices, including more support for poorer families paid for through a "Robin Hood" tax on fuel companies.
He accused the prime minister of being "focused on saving his own skin" over the No 10 lockdown parties scandal, rather than "taking action".
Robert Halfon, one of the Tory MPs calling on the government not to go ahead with the rise, said ministers should make the cost of living their "number one priority".
Speaking on BBC Breakfast, he suggested money for the NHS could instead be raised from the taxes on capital gains - profits made from selling certain assets - or by raising taxes on oil companies.
Senior backbench Tories Robert Jenrick and Mel Stride have also called for the increase to be delayed. Former cabinet minister Mr Jenrick saying that 2022 would already be "exceptionally hard" for families.
Defending the rise in the Sunday Times, Mr Johnson and Mr Sunak said it was "progressive" because higher earners pay more.
They described themselves as "tax-cutting Conservatives" and "Thatcherites, in the sense that we believe in sound money".
But they added: "There is no magic money tree."
The article will be seen as a show of unity between the pair, after widespread criticism of Mr Johnson over claims of parties in Downing Street during lockdown.
'Very difficult situation'
Mr Sunak is a leading candidate to replace Mr Johnson if a leadership contest is triggered before the next election.
Foreign Secretary Liz Truss, who is also seen as a possible leadership candidate, defended the tax rises but accepted they are "never popular".
Also speaking to the Sunday Morning programme, she said the country was in a "very difficult situation" because of money spent supporting the economy during Covid.
"As soon as possible, we want to be in a position to lower our tax rates, we want to drive economic growth, because ultimately that is what will make our country successful," she added.
"But we do face a short-term issue, which is that we have spent significant amounts of money dealing with the Covid crisis that does need to be paid back."
