  1. Thrown out no. But checks on there ties to putin and this war should be. Beyond that. Have all the gay people in Russia come over here. If they don’t want them we will take them.

  2. This is ridiculous, and sending out the ‘you’re on your own, not welcome here message to ordinary Russians would only serve to entrench support for Putin. I truly wonder what critical skills our elected representatives have.

  3. Completely fucking stupid. This reminds me of all the muppets who went around harassing muslims after 9/11.

    No, Dimitri who runs the local Russian-themed restaurant does not have anything to do with the invasion of Ukraine. Many Russians are here in the UK _because_ they don’t like their government.

  4. If there’s one running through-line with all this, also with Liz Truss encouraging people to go fight in ukraine, this guy wanting to forcibly arrest and remove all russians and the UK still doing fuck all about visa waivers:

    It’s “The UK hates Foreigners. Get rid of them all by any means necessary. Unless they’re mega rich, they’re the Good Ones”

  5. There should be a law that makes people beyond a certain age retire from direct politics. Stupid comment to make.

  6. What a horrific and authoritarian thing to say. This is Putin’s war the majority of the Russian people have no ability to stop it and should not be treated as criminals.

  7. I think that would be a little excessive. But a more targeted approach of deporting those with the closest ties to Putin might not be unreasonable.

  8. This is exactly the sort of dangerous *us and them* bigoted brush tarring that causes huge problems and resentment between people.

    Shame on him for even suggesting this.

  9. I’m already hearing stories about school age kids who are from Russia or Russian speaking areas of Eastern Europe getting abuse from other kids which is probably coming from their thick as shit parents. This kind of bullshit might be expected from certain political corners but it certainly isn’t helpful.

  10. > Every Russian should be thrown out of UK, Tory MP claims

    A Tory wanting to throw foreigners out of the UK indiscriminately? I see someone thinks they’re in with a shot at a Cabinet seat …

  11. We don’t want ordinary Russians to suffer, it is a unfortunate consequence that they do and not the main aim. Throw out Russian Oligarchs and remove their finances sure as they are not normal people but Putin assets themselves.

    But rounding up any Russian blooded person would be sickeningly wrong. Even if you are heartless, chances are we need the Russian people on our side to end this war so consider it tactical.

  12. Sure, let’s treat Russians the same way we treated German people after WW1. That’ll bring about world peace. What a cunt.

  13. What madness.. how out of touch are some people? These people like many in Russia are not the ones doing any harm.

  14. Since Russia is an actual authoritarian dictatorship then this is a bridge too far at the moment.

    But make no mistake if this turns into a direct confrontation between NATO and Russian forces then every single Russian needs to be detained pending security checks with a view to removal for most of them.

    That standard can also apply to the myriad of useful idiots at all levels of UK society who have been shilling for Russia and Putin for years. Dismenating Kremlin Propaganda is bad enough now. But in an actual war situation it’s treason.
    Doesn’t matter if you’re Jeremy Corbyn in Parliament or some no name redditor
    You should be dealt with accordingly.

  15. See this is exactly the sort of Anti-Russian sentiment I was worrying about.

    What a ridiculous thing to say. If their was any justice in the world any public figure who suggested such a thing would be forced to resign on the spot, and public ridiculed. But it won’t happen, heck I bet whoever voted him in will lap it up, and later we’re get reports of how some randomly eastern Europeans were assulted by drunken idiots.

  16. Sir Roger Gale, MP for North Thanet.

    Apparently he got his knighthood for political services. Certainly wasn’t for thinking through the consequences of actions.

  17. Can we throw all Tory out with them. They’ve never turned down a pound regardless of whichever questionable source it comes from.

  18. This is the worst impulse of humanity personified. Be kind to ordinary Russian people. Hate the regime and Putin, and those companies and individuals funding and enabling his war.
