Whenever Johnson has a problem, he calls Zelenskiy – and the bill is rapidly mounting | Simon Jenkins

  1. Using the desperation of the Ukrainian government for help as a shield for his own career, despicable man.

    Edit: typo

  2. I object to my taxes being spent on this nonsense.

    Obviously, Putin is a maniac with Peter the Great fantasies. Russians are being jailed just for holding up a blank white placard. But that does not mean the wisest course is to fight Russia down to the last Ukrainian. He is going to die sooner or later.

    It seems that we need more wisdom, and less social media kneejerk reaction.

    The wisest course would be to just give away the fucking land and use diplomatic pressure. Maybe after Putin dies they would come back to Ukraine. Maybe they wouldn’t. But whatever the outcome, it is likely to be better than what they have now.

  3. He cancelled a red wall meeting for his most recent visit. As serious as the situation in Ukraine is, he did not need to make an emergency trip last week. He did it because Johnson knows all about photo ops and needed a big one; Ukraine was the perfect (and probably only) option.

  4. Johnson has moved on from hiding in fridges to hiding in Ukraine whenever things get tricky.

  5. Look – no one other than Boris Johnson could manage sending weapons to Ukraine. Its just too complicated a task for anyone else to complete.

  6. I don’t fucking care about the bill.
    Doing the right thing for shitty reasons is still doing the right thing.
    We should be doing more not less.

  7. Zelensky, Ukraine the new “fridges ” for Boris to hide in. Personally I think he should retire to that ditch he once mentioned in the 2019 general election.

  8. If this carries on prepare to see him hiding in a fridge in Ukraine…

    Some people run away from problems and sometimes that is fine, but NOT when you are the leader of the Country ffs. He really is a utter twat.

    May the devil piss in his kettle.
