I imagine most of the protesters will simply be ignored, if they're lucky. The more vocal ones and the ringleaders will be identified and can expect a visit in the near future.

you would be nicked on the spot.. 10 yrs in pokey

Unxpectedly it looks like we will have good weather over Easter.

Today started lovely and sunny, if a bit cold, and whilst having a very late breakfast, I heard the jingle of an ice cream van. Encouraged by this I put on my overalls, got out the lawn mower, cut the grass and did some rudimentary gardening.

Tomorrow should be nice as well - I might even wash the car, it needs it.


(If all this domestic trivia seems banal, it is posted as an antidote to all the previous doom and gloom concerning Ukrane. Russia may threaten to use battlefield nukes, but it is sabre-rattling: China would not allow it.)

Along the same vein as an antidote/good news, I got my 2nd flight of the year in yesterday.

First one was early Feb, to be honest there has only been one other day that was calm enough to be flyable since then, but I couldn't make use of it.

I don't think it is at all banal, sounds like the perfect antidote. Even the gardening :) The doom and gloom is still there, for those who want to wallow in it. Not me.

That might make you feel safe, but Putin or his generals don't need anyone's permission to press the button. Oh, the US are also trying their damnedest to start a war in the pacific too, so it may be China pressing the button!

China is bailing out Russia: the war is costing Russia an an enormous amount of money. China has a lot of influence.

Doesn't make any sense to me. I can't see how that could possibly be good for China in the long term.

china will play the long game here. they will back russia to a point without incuring sanctions or, hopefully losing the trust of the 'global south' while taking advantage of russian fuel and nuclear knowhow etc.
