Letter from Ukraina

A very difficult time for my family. We all considered themselves almost apolitical, but recent events have shown that we are wrong. We want to live in the peaceful, democratic and independent Ukraine, and it is happiness that the views of all members of our family are the same. We have very hard and terrible feeling for the occupation of the Crimea and the for possibility of occupation of Donetsk. Russia has gone mad, and, unfortunately, not only Putin. They call us fascists and Nazis, but I remember the words of Winston Churchill: "fascists of future will name themselves anti-fascists".

From a friend who has fled Russian-occupied Donetsk for Kiev.

Take Them Seriously

Really. They've got beards and money.

No Retreat

No retreat. This is how you run a successful government.

Our bird sanctuaries will be the wonder of the world.

Scots 'Irretrievably Chippy'

Prodnose: I can't see why the Scots shouldn't be part of a Sterling Zone, and still be totally independent.

Self: I daresay you can't. Impossibilities are always hard to fathom.

 Prodnose: Or we could join the European Union and the Eurozone, and still be totally independent.

Self: You could do that too. Nobody anywhere else in the world would give a shit. Not even the Somalians would give a shit. And you wouldn't be independent.

Prodnose: Well that David Cameron has FAILED to have a debate IN SCOTLAND with a line-up of chippy Scotsmen and chippy Scotswomen.

Self: We have a sense of humour.

Self: And who the f would want to go to Scotland anyway.

 Self: Apart from the gnats.

EU 'Massively Corrupt'

Prodnose: Well, who would have thought, eh.

Emblogged: Yes, th'EU turning out to be oceangoingly corrupt.

Prodnose: Who knew.

Disembloggied: Will come as a big surprise to the moron 'community'.

Prodnose: Complete shock to me.
