@EL - I agree completely with this succinct analysis. I'm waiting for the PM's speech in a few moments, and have nothing to add to this, EL. To say that I am sorrowful and dismayed and apprehensive at this moment is to understate the case. TC

Evening, all. I usually do not comment in the evening, but, probably like many fellow Britons, I am glued to the situation at Westminster as Johnson's premiership collapses. I bring this up here because, whatever else one might say about Johnson, he has from the beginning of the invasion, maintained the stance that I applaud and share. I am, therefore, in addition to being saddened by this spectacle, concerned that the next iteration of the party (assuming no snap election is called and it remains in power) will not show the strength of support for defeating Putin that Johnson did.

I do not believe that the rest of Europe is nearly as firm in this as Johnson was. TC

I agree, the atrocities committed in Ukraine are much more than an infraction or a breach of decorum.
