I’m waiting for the Russian Ambassador to inform us that the rumours of a war between Russia and Ukraine are another Western lie.

The Russians are good at chess; first they signed an agreement to protect the territorial integrity of Ukraine in exchange for Ukraine to give up its nuclear arsenal, then they insist that Russian speakers need their own State in Eastern Ukraine. I suppose the United Nations did something similar with the setting up of the State of Israel in Palestine.

There certainly seems to be a lot of restless people around.

After a 70-year effort to unite the peoples of Europe, Scots, Catalans, Basques and Lombards claim to want independence from Big Brother. Who’s next, Gozitans?
