I hoped that this humiliation would not go further than a cuddle or two with Starmer, as cringing as that was, but no, we had to go the whole hog: a propagandist photoshoot with the King of England taking tea in the totally incompatible company of a T-shirt wearing erstwhile actor looking less like the person he is purported to be and more like one of those things ~ though considerably less well dressed ~ that keep rolling into Britain on the back of a rubber dinghy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"625\" height=\"386\" data-attachment-id=\"12418\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/expatkaliningrad.com\/ru\/uk-zelensky-tour-charity-gala-performance\/peace-rz-min\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/PEACE-rz-min.png?fit=1200%2C741&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1200,741\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"PEACE ZELENSKY NOW!\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/PEACE-rz-min.png?fit=300%2C185&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/PEACE-rz-min.png?fit=625%2C386&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/PEACE-rz-min.png?resize=625%2C386&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Taking peace on the chin UK Zelensky Tour\" class=\"wp-image-12418\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/PEACE-rz-min.png?resize=1024%2C632&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/PEACE-rz-min.png?resize=300%2C185&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/PEACE-rz-min.png?resize=768%2C474&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/PEACE-rz-min.png?resize=18%2C12&amp;ssl=1 18w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/PEACE-rz-min.png?resize=624%2C385&amp;ssl=1 624w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/PEACE-rz-min.png?resize=24%2C15&amp;ssl=1 24w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/PEACE-rz-min.png?resize=36%2C22&amp;ssl=1 36w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/PEACE-rz-min.png?resize=48%2C30&amp;ssl=1 48w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/PEACE-rz-min.png?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">In a show of absolute disregard for the declining prosperity of the UK and as an insult to the intelligence of its populace (did I say intelligence?), its Davos-orchestrated media flooded airwaves, newspapers and the internet with a fulsome display of stage-managed rejoicing.

I ask you!), the best of British from the worst of people is impressive but meretricious:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA safe and secure Ukraine is a safe and secure United Kingdom. This funding will bolster Ukraine\u2019s armed forces and will put Ukraine in the strongest possible position at a critical juncture in the war. [Fanfare of heraldic trumpets!!!]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt comes as we have increased our defence spending to 2.5% of GDP, which will deliver the stability required to keep us safe and underpin economic growth.\u201d ~ said Lego<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">What this bilateral agreement means is that instead of going for peace, Britain is going for broke. In order to keep the Zelensky show on the road and perpetuate the hostilities in Ukraine at any price, and that includes the cost in human terms, the UK Government is now pledging a whopping great \u00a32.26 billion \u2018loan\u2019 on top of the \u00a33 billion it already throws away each year (that\u2019s where your tax money\u2019s going) for Ukraine to spend on bombs and bullets. That\u2019s an awful lot of money to give to a man with no dress sense; let\u2019s hope he uses some of it to buy himself a suit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"625\" height=\"469\" data-attachment-id=\"12406\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/expatkaliningrad.com\/ru\/uk-zelensky-tour-charity-gala-performance\/untitled-design-4-min\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Untitled-design-4-min.png?fit=1200%2C900&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1200,900\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Zelensky president without a suit\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Untitled-design-4-min.png?fit=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Untitled-design-4-min.png?fit=625%2C469&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Untitled-design-4-min.png?resize=625%2C469&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"I say Mr Zelensky: This is a suit!\" class=\"wp-image-12406\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Untitled-design-4-min.png?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Untitled-design-4-min.png?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Untitled-design-4-min.png?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Untitled-design-4-min.png?resize=16%2C12&amp;ssl=1 16w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Untitled-design-4-min.png?resize=624%2C468&amp;ssl=1 624w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Untitled-design-4-min.png?resize=24%2C18&amp;ssl=1 24w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Untitled-design-4-min.png?resize=36%2C27&amp;ssl=1 36w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Untitled-design-4-min.png?resize=48%2C36&amp;ssl=1 48w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Untitled-design-4-min.png?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">[Quote:] \u201cThe Prime Minister has been clear that a strong Ukraine is vital to UK national security.\u201d [Unquote].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">How and also Why?

We compromised that years ago when we opened the migrant floodgates, and what little we have left of it is being trampled underfoot by thousands of happy migrant feet that are wearing the welcome mat threadbare as our politically correct two-tier coppers bus them off to plush hotels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The real threat in the UK to every man, woman and child and thus to national security is the one that nobody, except Reform, is willing to confront: catastrophic immigration. Thousands, literally thousands, of young men of fighting age, migrants from the third world, are languishing at the taxpayers\u2019 expense in hotels and hostels up and down the country. Thanks to the loony left, bolstered by Brownshirt organisations that masquerade as equality heroes ~ who mentioned Antifa and Hope Not Hate? ~ but which are really infested with anarchists, hardly any of these aliens will be sent packing to whence they originally came.\u00a0Hundreds of thousands of these lovely items are poised to be unleashed onto the wretched streets of Britain, ushering in a dark new age where holding hands and candle-lit vigils, already a British tradition, is steadily replacing all that our forbears worked for and all that they believed in: \u201cGet your candle-lit vigil kits here!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Of course, I could be wrong. The experiences of the past few years may be nothing at all to go by. They may simply want to hold hands with us and, like the Coke advert of old, sing in &#8216;Happy Harmony&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-gray-background-color has-background\"><strong>In a further demonstration of liberal social media\u2019s stranglehold on UK freedom of speech, Facebook, aka Hatebook, is quick to delete all and any comments that do not align themselves with the West\u2019s \u2018I stand with Ukraine\u2019 narrative. The comments of attackers and haters are preserved in liberal vinegar; the comments of all who challenge them are swiftly siphoned away.<br><br>Two sides of the jolly old argument, ay chaps.<br>\u201cIt is essential for democracy to listen to what other people are saying (<a href=\"javascript:;\">Goodin, 2003<\/a>).\u201d<\/strong><br><br><strong><span class=\"highlight\">The Russian point of view:<\/span><\/strong><br><strong>\u201cWe continue to operate on the premise that a truly just and durable peace is not possible unless the root causes of the Ukraine crisis are completely eliminated.

The demilitarisation and denazification of Ukraine, as well as recognition of existing realities on the ground remain Russia\u2019s unchanged objectives. The sooner Kiev and the European capitals in question come to realise this, the closer to a peaceful settlement of the Ukraine crisis we will be.\u201d <\/strong>~ Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova\u2019s comment on Vladimir Zelensky\u2019s voyage to Washington, D.C., 1 March 2025<br><br><a href=\"https:\/\/mid.ru\/en\/foreign_policy\/news\/2000774\/?fbclid=IwY2xjawIyjuVleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHbR5FmG6mv46HmeiQwC9X6We0yhxQA1RrYBo2fOyoq_-6ba-BKyZxlfAqA_aem_6rnZl5O6V2z2asGT3Zcpxg&amp;sfnsn=scwspwa\">Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova\u2019s comment on Vladimir Zelensky\u2019s voyage to Washington, D.C. &#8211; The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The idea that the Western World&#8217;s survival hinges upon propping up the ultranational regime of Ukraine is a feebly spurious and egregious premise. The West\u2019s proxy war with Russia has failed, so why continue the virtue signalling by showering Zelensky with false praise and filling the bottomless pit of his unaudited war chest. Bankrolling&nbsp;Zelensky is nothing more than a face-saving exercise, an immoral funding of loss of life destined to ensure that Ukraine ends up like a lunar landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Instead of hoodwinking gullible Brits with jingoistic soundbites and huggy huggy Zelensky time ~ quick, let\u2019s change our avatars ~&nbsp;&nbsp; a responsible, grown-up government, if only we had such a thing, would admit that national security is a net-zero migration issue and would be doing all that it could to slam the porous borders shut and combat the hostile hoards that are already within our midst. After all, it is they that shipped them in; the indigenous British people never went online and ordered them from Amazon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">UK Zelensky Tour is a Charity Gala Performance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The only real potential threat that Britain faces today to its national security, indeed to its very existence, is the Trojan Horse of third-world migration. It is here, now; here and happening. An insidious ticking timebomb waiting to explode. All talk of old-style threats, of invasions from abroad, are as convincing as telling a country bumpkin that if he pisses against the wind the world will be a better place. The Russians are coming! The Russians are coming! What would they want to come here for? Such megaphonic announcements are opium for the bewildered masses, many of whom are yet to wake up to the terrible state that Britain is in. Please, pass me one of their sleeping pills!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tales from 21st century Britain<\/strong><br>&gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/expatkaliningrad.com\/brits-told-be-vigilant-boats-terror\/\" title=\"Brits Told to be Vigilant as Boats Roll in on Tide of Terror\">Brits Told to be Vigilant as Boats Roll in on Tide of Terror<\/a><br>&gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/expatkaliningrad.com\/uk-anti-immigration-riots-herald-new-dystopian-era\/\" title=\"UK Anti-Immigration Riots Herald New Dystopian Era\">UK Anti-Immigration Riots Herald New Dystopian Era<\/a><br>&gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/expatkaliningrad.com\/lies-and-democracy-are-they-now-the-same-thing\/\" title=\"Lies and Democracy: Are they now the same thing?\">Lies and Democracy: Are they now the same thing?<\/a><br>&gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/expatkaliningrad.com\/tracking-world-vaccination-with-the-prickometer\/\" title=\"Tracking World Vaccination with the Prickometer\">Tracking World Vaccination with the Prickometer<\/a><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The only positive thing to come out of Britain throwing its money away and the avatar-changing farce is that Trump by word and deed has been unequivocally vindicated. By advocating a path for peace, he has already proved to the world that contrary to the deriding image that mainstream media painted of him during his first term in office, the crazed war monger never was him; it was, and always has been, the backsliding liberal left. Biden was a stooge; Obama was a black bum sitting on a fence, though they claim he played good golf; Trump, though not a peaceful man ~ he is not a lefty wimp or a wokist pushover ~ is a man who believes in peace. The clamouring desire for war, for never-ending,&nbsp;relentless war is an obsession exclusively liberal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Indeed, Trump\u2019s defiant stand for peace contrasts strongly in his favour against the liberal craving for war, which reverberates hysterically on both sides of the Atlantic. If you couldn\u2019t see it before Trump&#8217;s sincere endeavours for peace, your vison should now be clearing. The real war mongers of the West are the pseudo-liberal cabal, the elitist globalist clan, who hide behind tired old slogans that project them as the patron saints of democracy and humanity but really who are perfectly willing to spill the blood of others in their relentless pursuit of hegemony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">These are the goons who want you to \u2018Stand with Ukraine\u2019, or rather the last thing that they want to happen is for Trump to broker a peace plan. They do not want peace full-stop, especially peace by a peace-making Trump, as this will only cement his glory, expose them for what they are, and spur him onto greater things, none of which they have no doubt will be in their globalist interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Standing for Ukraine, as defined by British policy, means perpetuating warfare, which, as Trump has laid on the line, could edge us closer to World War III.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">UK Zelensky Tour is a Charity Gala Performance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">If war does break out in Europe, and let\u2019s fervently hope this day will never dawn, it will surprise an awful lot of idiots who repeatedly spout the mantra that nuclear war will not effect us, as the UK has its own deterrent. This might be an appropriate juncture to remind the lefty lot that it was not so long ago that they wanted to scrap our nuclear deterrent and use the money instead for welfare handouts and to fund migration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"625\" height=\"502\" data-attachment-id=\"12409\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/expatkaliningrad.com\/ru\/uk-zelensky-tour-charity-gala-performance\/bpiqaoac9-min\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/bpiqAoAc9-min.png?fit=1200%2C964&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1200,964\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Yellow submarine Britain&amp;#8217;s nuclear deterrent\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/bpiqAoAc9-min.png?fit=300%2C241&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/bpiqAoAc9-min.png?fit=625%2C502&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/bpiqAoAc9-min.png?resize=625%2C502&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Britain's nuclear subs do not necessarily guarantee survival in a nuclear war\" class=\"wp-image-12409\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/bpiqAoAc9-min.png?resize=1024%2C823&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/bpiqAoAc9-min.png?resize=300%2C241&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/bpiqAoAc9-min.png?resize=768%2C617&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/bpiqAoAc9-min.png?resize=15%2C12&amp;ssl=1 15w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/bpiqAoAc9-min.png?resize=624%2C501&amp;ssl=1 624w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/bpiqAoAc9-min.png?resize=24%2C19&amp;ssl=1 24w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/bpiqAoAc9-min.png?resize=36%2C29&amp;ssl=1 36w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/bpiqAoAc9-min.png?resize=48%2C39&amp;ssl=1 48w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/bpiqAoAc9-min.png?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sing along now: &#8216;We can&#8217;t all live in a yellow submarine &#8230;&#8217;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Our politicians, whose only skill seems to&nbsp;lie in their remarkable ability to never tell the truth, should nevertheless make it abundantly clear to the obfuscated British public, particularly those who \u2018Stand by Ukraine\u2019, that the first casualty of a war that goes nuclear will be the United Kingdom.
