What do ye think of this comparison from the Daily Telegraph on Friday?

  1. At first I was like “No, UK isn’t as bad as Russia in this scenario, its an overreaching comparison”, then I read further and got whiplash from the stupidity and irony.

  2. He’s used “Ulster” to refer to Northern Ireland, he’s talking about national “territory”, and he refers to Ursula von der Leyen as a “moderate woman with seven children”. He’s a fucking fossil and a sexist.

    “But the problem goes deeper. The protocol divides the territory of a single nation, the United Kingdom.”

    Wouldn’t it be awful if someone’s nation was to be divided in two, now, who could do such a thing?

    Fuck me, the victim complex of it all.

  3. Well while not too different in Russia’s eyes they can’t understand the hypocrisy that the uk and the u.s are taking the moral high ground while both countries have waged far more wars and hold territories they stole off other countries.

    The media in my memory never held hourly interviews with Iraqi families who were being bombed to death, there were no host families here taking the refugees in . No one cares in europe about that war in Yemen or Syria as they don’t trend on twitter so the mobs don’t care either. I never realised how racist we are as a people until this war in Ukraine happened. If Ukrainians were a different colour we wouldn’t even be discussing this and that’s disgusting.

  4. The only comparison I see is between Russia and England. They both owe their aggressive exceptionalism to the cultish worship of Royalty.

  5. The irony of splitting another country and then having the temerity to compare that country to Russia. For a husk of a war-mongering empire, they sure do love a bit of victimhood.

  6. After reading this I imagined the article was dictated by this clown to some long suffering PA and finished with “of course I was very, very drunk” like that skit from the fast show.

  7. I like the way that the second part of the article is some insane medieval relic mixed in with an incomprehensible comment about how maybe climate change doesn’t matter. Perfect Telegraph stereotype

  8. I….

    I hate that we are so far into this weird parrallel universe that I can’t tell the difference between satire and reality anymore
