Are the Russians coming?

A much smaller scale, but it always impresses me when I go to Fox's Timber up Withnell (near Abbey Village). An old quarry adjacent for storage, full of felled trees. Meanwhile all sorts of wood products, piles of bark chips, and composters.

Fascinating, and using all parts.

Spooky (literally)

This story has cropped up just as I am in the middle of the latest Mick Herron novel "Slough House" which opens with MI6 carrying out a revenge assassination of one of the Novichok poisoners using private sector funding

Jackson Lamb? He sounds exciting enough.

Has he got an old pal from the SBS days who still with 'the firm', helps him out with intel, name Clint Source?

Is Jackson a hard-bitten maverick? Would he drive at 45mph in a 30 zone if it was to stop a former lover falling victim to chockabloc poisoning off a DHS agent gone rogue?

Is he mates with Jack Reacher?

Nope

Our spymaster is overweight, puts his feet on the desk with his toes poking through his socks, drinks whiskey, smokes high tar cigarettes, lives on chinese takeaways and farts and belches a lot.

His team are all secret service no hopers and usually muck everything up and have to endure his sarcasm, in one book they were keeping an eye on an obvious Nigel Farage clone but accidentally killed him.

Perfect précis. There's a pretty obvious Boris Johnson clone running through the series as well. 

No surprises, he's also a cunt.😃

Nothing to see at the Ukrainian border.

Putin senses an opportunity 

Aye what a way to set up an invasion. Work with China to weaken the west by obliterating economies with a virus and orchestrating division with brexit and trump.

All one big plan all this. Called it the day Trump got in power. We are due one massive kick off and it wont be pretty.

If we went to war with Russia who’d be the gaffer in charge of the decisions?

Boris? 
 

Wow that’s frightening 

Boris still doesn’t really understand what a Northern Ireland is.

If he saw a Russian plane flying over Downing Street he’d probably wave at it and claim it to be a beautiful Brexit bonus the thick cunt.

That didn't work out well then. Russia proper fucked by the virus too.

Anyway, we've sent some troops to Poland for this border issue. Perhaps quite useful if Putin is flexing his muscles again, add them to those in the Baltic states, and we'll have a few available...
