I've just paid 143.9p/litre. Which means it must be *outrageously* expensive in some places, e.g. motorway services.

RAC fuel spokesman Simon Williams said despite oil prices calming, prices at the pump will continue to rise.

How unfortunate that the RAC spokesman's name makes it look like a Daily Mash piece.

Simon Williams? The bloke who used to be in Don't Wait Up 35 years ago?

Retweeted by Fiona Edwards. No sanctions because they're "war".

I've been a strong believer of the horseshoe theory for some time (that far left and far right have more in common than centre left and right) - the last few days have reinforced that view. Heavily.

Yep thought about it...........................................your still twats

This isn't the time to introduce domestic issues to the public debate.

But, when things have calmed down a little there's a need to push a few items to the front:

* What where "fellow travellers" like Dominic "Moscow Dom" Cummings, Aaron Banks, and Nigel Farage up to during their busman's holidays in Moscow?
* Maintain focus on the Tory party funding from pariah oligarchs, and rubbish the "British passport holders" defence.
* State clearly that turning a blind eye to dodgy money puts us in kompromat to enemies of democracy.
* Question why Cameron, May and Johnson were buzzing around oligarch circles like bees round a honeypot.
* Revisit the response of the American Republican party to this war: GOP = Goons of Putin.

I'm sure there's bit more, but the above provides a compelling story about the people who've taken our national leadership, and about those who pay the piper.

Nothing broad about it; as proved by this Venn diagram.

For some bizarre reason, I felt the urge to listen to Russian news in English on short-wave, just as I did as a kid.

I don't think I can now: SW seems alive with Chinese stations and relays, but Russia? I think it goes by the name of Sputnik Radio now, but trying to find a SW frequency for it... clicking on an Internet link holds zero interest for me, whereas tuning across the dial (from Moscow to Cologne) just has an appeal.

Ha ha ha.

The Voice of Russia (as it was then) went off short-wave in April 2014 IIRC. Later than year it was reorganized as Sputnik media.

GB News here. Neil Oliver spends a minute telling us he doesn't know what's happening because he you can't trust what anyone says.

A nice modern twist on the "all the notices on this board are false" paradox. But if you're a news channel, isn't it your job to find out?

Buy hey. "Read more of Neil's views".

The squalid racism of Poles casting a shadow across the fate of African and Asian people at the borders, fleeing from an active war zone.

Well, colour me surprised.

There can be no mistaking that the EU should be all over this like a wet rag but there can equally be no doubt that this war is hitting home because PLU are in the firing line.

Hard not to argue that Putin hasn't egregiously fucked up. Unless you're a Republican.

Hey, sheeple! The West hasn't shut down Russian supplies overnight and imposed powercuts on itself! Makes you think!

By heck, this fellow's onto something.
