Wow! I missed a mega Paphitis blitz today! People are coming back then.

Do I look as though I care?

I didn't imagine for a second that you would. In fact though, I read all of your La La posts and as such am probably one of your biggest "fans".

I just wanted to lay waste to the delusion you seem to have that's it's anything other than a 62 page, 600 post mostly personal anti-UK rant.

Whilst the majority of it of course consists of incessant diatribes against the Government, you've still found time to post scathing "opinions" about British institutions, its culture and lots of acerbic stuff aimed at the population in general.

Although I'm not one of your Union Jack waving, Rule Britannia singing types I suggest to you that just about anybody would get fucked off with somebody incessantly slagging their country off. If I tried it on in here about Cyprus I'd quite rightly, and very quickly, find myself on the sharp end of a couple of dozen boots.

I really have no strong feelings on the matter though. Carry on blogging.

Only a Tory fascist would say the negative comments made against the Tories which includes the establishment is an attack on the UK. But as I am certain you are oblivious to what has been going on politically in the UK for the last 12 or so years, I can only conclude that you are one of those "The Sun" reader type fascists. Don't understand politics but you are fascist with it.

Well, as I've said before. I'm not a card carrying member of the Conservative Party. I'm pretty live and let live really. It was though a case of the appalling alternative Labour managed to lumber themselves with leading up to Christmas 2019. If you recall that was when they got their biggest drubbing in almost a century. Despite being up against the like of Bozo. And no - it wasn't some sort of conspiracy. Corbyn was the most inappropriate candidate for PM of the UK in my life time, during which competition has been pretty stiff at times. Constituencies which had voted Labour doggedly since the party was founded defected en-masse to the opposition. It spoke for itself.

Yes, again, as I said previously - the vast majority of your vitriol is directed at the minutiae of the Tory party, which I'm sure everybody in here lusts after, but you've still found time to slag off UK history, culture, its institutions and population in your 600+ Blog of tedium.

It's a characteristic of the evangelical left that, like their "Fair trial and then shoot them" philosophy, they tend to call everybody who takes exception to their preaching a fascist. The irony regarding their own fanaticism being totally lost upon them. It was ever the road to the Gulags and Killing fields.

All of which has SFA to do with the war in Ukraine (my apologies in that respect). There you go again though. Turning absolutely any subject under the sun into posts about your pet obsessions.

I wonder what credibility you really attribute to a site like that. Particularly, given your recent exhortations to RW that he needs to learn how to differentiate between reality and propaganda.

It doesn't take much effort to realise that Southfront's stuffed to the gunnels with anti-West articles. Moreover, a quick investigation of the author of your link - Drago Bosnic (now, there's a great Hollywood villain's name ) reveals that he specialises in articles which fit the Southfront criteria ideally. What's an "independent geopolitical and military analyst"? Aren't we all?

Russia wields a formidable propaganda weapon. They've invested a lot in it. Since their military setbacks you can clearly see where the emphasis has shifted from good news - "the truth" - from the battlefront (GR's a great fan of that one), now clearly perceived as total bollocks, to efforts aimed at convincing Ukraine's Western populations that they're governments are throwing money into an abyss. Suffering economically for their support of a Neo-Nazi regime of drug addicts in a far-away country. One which a lot of them didn't have a clue about a year ago. IMHO, it's yet another of the many signs of Putin's growing desperation.

There were a couple of interesting articles in today's Guardian. One about the fate of some of the recent mobilised Russians - basically cannon fodder - and another about how they're digging in for a defensive winter and long war. Neither were particularly rabidly anti-Russian and both were quite interesting. Stories supported by on-the-ground reports from actually people. Rather than some guy sitting in an office somewhere on the planet giving us the benefit of his "Geopolitical military analysis". I don't post them because I imagine it would be a nugatory effort. Like I said - no middle ground.

More credibility than Western MSM. FYI Alpha TV's news showed Zelensky tonight commenting on the same issue. Link will be available tomorrow here:

As usual I am not interested for the rest of your diatribe.

Well, it's supposed to be about "discussion". No? You say this, I counter with that - you................... As much as you seem to want it - you can't really discuss something as complex as the biggest war in Europe since 1945 in one-liners or links.

If you're going to keep coming back with "I am not interested" then clearly there's little point. I take it as an admission that you've actually no rational response other than abuse. Apart from the like of your - and for that matter most of the other Russian supporters - blanket one that the entirety of the "MSM" should be ignored, whilst any nut case fringe Conspiracy Theory site, stuffed with anti-West articles, or Russian State Media effort/Telegram video is the dog's bollocks.

I was hoping for somebody with the confidence to support their views. It seems though that - at the end of the day - there really isn't a fag papers difference between yourself and the Great Man. You should kiss and make up.

When all else has failed, slander becomes the tool of the loser
