Russians Honour Veterans For 'Worst Journey In The World'

Yes aren't their homophobic laws wonderful and their invading neighbours. Not to mention until Hitler invaded Russia they were on the same side as the Getmans in the war.

If you mean the banning of 'promoting' homosexuality, don't forget that even in this great country a similar law existed until only 11 years ago en.m.wikipedia.org/…/Section_28…. At least it only lasted 15 years though... How any country or indeed any person can discriminate on this basis in this day and age is beyond me

Bloody Getmans.

Yes that was nice of the Tories introducing that hated law and bitterly resisting its repeal.

... but then introduced gay marriage. Quite an about-turn. Although like most equality laws, it would have been forced on them by the EU if they hadn't acted first. The good old EU!

You can spot the sad old leftists with their nostalgia for the USSR.It must have broke their hearts when the wall came down.To bad that the people of Eastern Europe preferred freedom and democracy. Now they turn a blind eye to the imperial ambitions of Putin,the suppression of a free press with the murder and intimidation of journalists.They excuse the vicious anti gay laws,by talking about what gay rights used to be in the UK decades ago.These communist fellow travellers have and never had any patriotism for their country Great Britain,they don't recognise the social achievement of this country and would rather chain it to the E U.Top down social control by those who know best is what they want,their values have and never will represent those of the British working class,who in their hearts they really despise.

^ yes dear.

Think he's been on the bottle again

Hmmm...at that point Rinkydink I was expecting you to agree with the anti-communist rant and culminate it with shouts if "U.S.A". I am disappointed in you.

Poland the country that Nazi Germany and Stalin agreed to carve up between them.The country that was 'liberated' by USSR and denied its freedom and liberty.It was Britain who betrayed the Polish people by letting them lose their freedom to the totalitarian,mass murderering communist Stalin in 1945. Tbe Polish people fought from the beginning to the end on our side,unlike the Russians.

'It was Britain who betrayed the Polish people by letting them lose their freedom...'? After six years of fighting around the world, you're suggesting the U.K. armed forces [and not its allies] push on through Soviet occupied Germany and attack the Soviet army in Poland? Bizarre! As I said, the Polish government should honour the U.K. and retrospectively thank the handful of men in Neville Chamberlain's government for forcing this country to go to war because Poland was invaded. Unless of course you'd have preferred the U.K. not to have been forced into a war by going to the aide of Poland and instead have stayed neutral up until the Nazis inevitably tried to starve the U.K. by using U-Boats and surface ships to surround our islands? The Slavic people are untermensch and we're best leaving them to peasant each other out.

Britain was obliged by treaty to come to Poland defence,they were not forced. I strongly object to your equation of Poland and Russia,as if the Poles should be equally grateful.Many of the Poles fought for this country,after they were occupied by the Germans and Russian.They never were on the opposite side like the Russian.Russis only fought on our side after the Germans invaded them. Could we have saved the Poles from being occupied?.Probably not.But they paid a far heavier price than people in this country,millions died in concentration camps and mass murder during the German occupation and then there freedom was cruelly stolen again by the USSR.

'Britain was obliged by treaty...'? A piece of paper meant nothing to Hitler or Stalin. Holland? Belgium? Besides a deal was made in '38 so the PM could have made another one, but with invisible ink to save embarrassment. Feel free to 'strongly object' by the way, as you misunderstood. The Poles should be grateful, end of.
