Sanctions? Cancelling the Kremlin's order of Frank Cooper's Oxford Marmalade might work, were Xie Ping's Yunnan Orange Jam not a passable substitute.
That's just too evil for words. Maniacs like you scare me with such depravity!

Made in Leeds but is Glucose-fructose syrup really needed? :sad:
Surprised, as a well known/premium brand, this contains glucose fructose syrup (doubt this was in the original recipe). Try to avoid GFS so won't buy for that reason. Tiptree's just contains Sugar and Oranges.

It's all ok. Don't fret. Biden said he was ok with a minor incursion, which this is.
He criticizes Putin's order to deploy troops saying it's " a flagrant violation of international law"
Yet not a peep about Israel Joe ?

Well those sanctions are really going to hurt them !
Nothing we can do can hurt them. I would call the sanctions place on Russia as "puny" but realistically, we could cut off every single tie to the place and they'd still laugh. That's what happens when you sit on as much fossil fuels as they have and the world continues to suck on it....

Any opinion on Russia's actions?
Because I'm critical of my own goverment you somehow think I support Putin? Maybe because it's the country I live in and I have little faith in Johnson or anything he does.So forgive me for thinking that our governments response to Putin is pathetic !
So for clarity I think Putin's a dangerous c@nt....as I do Johnson ! I think Putin/Russia's is in the wrong and I think we should do all we can to help them.But let's not pretend these sanctions by us are going to make a difference.

I agree with your last paragraph entirely. When you compare the sanctions we are proposing to those of Germany ours are pathetic.
Since we are out of the EU our contribution to the process, other than NATO, is worth much less and has been next to useless, with Johnson and Truss using it to try and big up their own images.

Our sanctions are pathetic because we are now pathetic.

Germany can sanction Russia as it is a member of a huge trading block which has multiple arrangements to import gas from different countries, and which has gas storage facilities. The Tories sold our storage facilities, then took us out of the trading block which could have helped us. We have nothing to threaten Russia with. The only thing we have to look forward to is bankrupt energy companies if Putin turns the taps off and pushes gas prices up even higher.
