Vlad wanders around in the dark to survey the fragments of civilisation left after his brutality (or hurriedly constructed to windowdress the stupidity of destroying to achieve your aims).
Wasn't there another Vlad that preferred the dark hours?

I don't like him or agree with him but he looks a whole lot better than the current incumbents.Derek27 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 19, 2023 5:50 pmYes, his name was Iain Duncan Smith.greenmark wrote: ↑Sun Mar 19, 2023 2:08 pm

I was on benefit during his time. I did a search for the pic of Vlad the Impaler eating his dinner with his face replaced with IDS, couldn't find it, but there's no doubt in my mind he was one of the most evil people in UK history.greenmark wrote: ↑Sun Mar 19, 2023 6:16 pmI don't like him or agree with him but he looks a whole lot better than the current incumbents.Derek27 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 19, 2023 5:50 pmYes, his name was Iain Duncan Smith.greenmark wrote: ↑Sun Mar 19, 2023 2:08 pm

If your talking about universal credit with was IDS baby, he never put in the proposal that people had to wait 5 weeks before getting benefits. He said 2 weeks, it was the treasury and chancellor at the time that said people should wait 5 weeks.Derek27 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 19, 2023 6:24 pmI was on benefit during his time.

I'm talking about sanctioning people with severe mental health problems who aren't even able to work for being ten minutes late to a Jobcentre interview and allowing them to stave to death. I remember IDS on his way to a pre-election hustings when somebody tipped him off that the sister of a claimant he killed would be attending. Naturally the coward called it off. He couldn't face her.Archery1969 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 19, 2023 7:01 pmIf your talking about universal credit with was IDS baby, he never put in the proposal that people had to wait 5 weeks before getting benefits.

Ah ok, well I believe the sanctioning rules/actions are about to get even tougher/worse from next month.Derek27 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 19, 2023 7:37 pmI'm talking about sanctioning people with severe mental health problems who aren't even able to work for being ten minutes late to a Jobcentre interview and allowing them to stave to death.

A friend of mine works at the job centre and the biggest NO NO is being late for an appointment. I won’t say how the entire points system works but being late puts you on -10 for each one missed or late too. Unless your leg is hanging off then best to attend on time. Also, there are different rules followed for different areas. If you in a major city like London, Liverpool, Manchester etc then they much more strict opposed to living in a smaller town with less unemployment per head of population. With her help I managed to fiddle the system for 3 years as had no intention of working at the time but on paper it looked like my job search was 200 emails/letters per week.
If you go to any weatherspoons pub during the day, you will often see the usual suspects, in their 50s, unemployed, no intention of working on the books but playing the system. Over the years I must of spoken to hundreds of them along the south coast and they all say the same thing, don’t be late and the rest is just a piss take if you know what to say and more importantly what not to say.
I didn't realise you had such a grasp of Russian. Whios knows what the next development will be. Spring offensive or everyone gets a bit fed up and starts talking like they could have done over a year and thousands of lives and appalling destruction ago.
We are a very stupid and cruel species at times.
I think the situation's beyond talking. The war will continue until Putin is defeated or withdraws from Ukraine.greenmark wrote: ↑Mon Mar 20, 2023 4:22 pmI didn't realise you had such a grasp of Russian.

Zelensky is not going to agree to any peace deal until Russia withdraws from all of Ukraine including Crimea. Plus if Ukraine/West comes to the peace table it will set a dangerous president for Taiwan/China next flashpoint down the road. There is allot of politics and posturing going on. China, Russia, USA, NATO are all in a game to see who blinks first. Too much a stake to try for peace. People on both sides will continue dying for a long time yet.
Putin also hoping Trump runs/wins in 2024 so will be going at least till then, sadly it doesn't look like it's going to end even after that and a lot of sons/fathers/brothers are going to be sent in as cannon fodder, their life ending for one man's ego.Archery1969 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 20, 2023 5:18 pm+ 1Derek27 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 20, 2023 4:25 pmI think the situation's beyond talking.

The attached shows you what would happen in the UK if Russia dropped 1 x biggest nuke they have ever tested. It wouldn't take many to wipe everyone in the UK off the planet. Those that do survive will probably wish they hadn't.

The 50-megaton Tzar bomb was nothing more than an experiment. It was so big the aircraft had to leave its doors open and drop it by parachute. It was never deployable and they don't have nukes of that size. They now use MIRV to scatter smaller yield bombs over an area.Archery1969 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 20, 2023 5:54 pmThe attached shows you what would happen in the UK if Russia dropped 1 x biggest nuke they have ever tested.
