He is also there to try & persuade the Italians to allow use of long range Storm missiles to hit targets inside Russia. Next stop Germany. Biden’s poodle. Harold Wilson will be turning in his grave.

Hi @AnnieLennox, I searched your timeline for the word ‘hostages’ (as in ‘release the hostages’) Can you imagine my surprise when the results showed you’ve never used the word So if YOU want to fully engage, try typing ‘release the hostages’ or shut the fuck up

35 years ago we attended a football match with hope in our hearts. 97 innocent women, men & children were unlawfully killed, never to return to their families & countless lives were changed forever. My love & thoughts go to the families, survivors & everybody affected. #JFT97
