Just to highlight for those watching brave Russians arrested for protest, the Tory police bill gives UK state similar powers: every protestor is liable to be arrested, no matter how peaceful - or even just for facilitating protesting
Freedom is fragile.

@MattGubba BBC website is currently running an ongoing article debunking the fake news and images appearing on social media so that people can view for themselves as well as having correspondents who are literally in Ukraine. I'll trust that thanks.
Very glad my parents didn’t have to deal with the UK Home Office when they were made refugees by a genocidal monster. Hard to flee someone who’s trying to kill you when you’re busy filling out visa forms.
Danish government: We'll take 20,000 Ukrainian refugees
Polish government: You don't need a passport. Come here for safety & you can even bring your pets
UK government: We lit up some buildings blue & yellow
A devastatingly effective, fair and fact based interview by an Irish journalist with Russian’s ambassador to Ireland. “Why should our government entertain your presence here when you’re acting as an apologist for slaughter.”
'If I was on an English team, I would boycott it!'
Foreign Secretary Liz Truss says if an English team makes it to the Champions League final in St Petersburg they should boycott the match.

Bad news for all those anti-vaxxers pinning their hopes on that Met Police file number - the police have found, to the absolute surprise of nobody, that there is no crime to investigate. And could you please stop invading vaccine centres?

Remember. There’s been zero - ZERO - investigation into Russian interference in UK because as we now know, the govt ‘actively avoided’ looking.
So these US reports are closest we get. That & work by UK journalists - half of whom are being sued for undertaking this work.
Is that it?
