Anybody agree we don't like any of them. We like the thousands of innocent citizens being killed because of bad government, be they soldiers, civilians, children. Russia has no right to invade. Ukraine has no right to kill either. People matter (but not to governments or politicians).

Totally agree and a seems somehow so unnecessary in this day and age. I sense most people are simply too tired with other local worries to concern themselves with it all. It is tragic for those involved, deeply boring now for the rest of us.

(But I like some of the stories that come out of it - my girl has a Ukranian boy in her class - a refugee with his mum: we don't ask about his dad - and all the parents we know including Mrs Wyot are part of a rota to drive him to and from school every day).

It may be acceptable to give cigars to children down the West Country GM, but The Wyots are just not that sort of family...
