Though in Belgorod they might have to consider switching from oil to gas!

Ask the Conservative MP and former submariner Shiv R M’Timbers?

I think that you can't just burn coal in a gas burner! :) But something like coal gasification has some potential - if you don't mind the pollution.

The very fact that we see people questioning the veracity of reports from Ukraine and Russia - here and in many other parts of our media - is a positive. Not when they just shout "Lies". But when detail is examined, even that information is published with the "we have not verified this...

As we have reached midday: San Serriffe is a fictional island nation invented for April Fools' Day 1977, by Britain's Guardian newspaper. The story in the paper: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/apr/01/tory-mps-lobby-no-10-to-let-royal-family-use-seized-russian-superyacht

Just what do the Russians expect... ? Russia has accused Ukraine of sending attack helicopters across the border to strike an oil storage facility in what would be the first raid on Russian soil since the outbreak of the war if confirmed. Ukraine has not confirmed that it launched the attack...

Would be nice cruising to San Serriffe on one of them.

I rather expected this. (I know I said so somewhere, but can't find my post here.) Tory MPs lobby No 10 to let royal family use seized Russian superyacht MoD officials exploring legal challenges but Boris Johnson ‘full steam ahead’ with proposal

Quite possibly so. But the kudos is somewhat diminished if they were otherwise due to be incinerated. It ends up helping them to get away with the mistakes (being polite) which caused the PPE to exist and to be here.

More than 5m items of medical supplies have been given to Ukraine, helping to save tens of thousands of Ukrainian lives, the UK government is claiming. Since the Russian invasion was launched, 13 flights carrying ventilators and other medical supplies have left the UK. Lifesaving medicines...

Looks like there is going to be further delay to checks on EU imports. That makes it the fourth time.

The complete ME-ME-ME politician poses. Again. In competition with Truss for number of pics, I'd say. I have worked closely with @NCA_UK & the @UKBorder ’s Maritime investigation Bureau to intercept the £38m - Phi. This Government will continue to take robust action against anyone benefiting...

This story engenders a mixture of amazement, concern, understanding, and other thoughts and emotions: Ukraine uses facial recognition software to identify Russian soldiers killed in combat The defense ministry began using technology from Clearview AI which scrapes images on the web to match...

Whether these claims are true or not, someone is doing a very good job of getting them picked up and discussed.

Dunno.

Brexit bonuses continue to defy expectations: But, last week, I came across one that really is quite astonishing in its brashness, unique in its link to recent political events and quite breathtaking in its callousness. This came to me via a call to the telephone helpline and it goes like this...
