Abramovich is still the owner of Chelsea, the stewardship seems be a ploy to keep the club from being taken from him if assets are frozen. He does seem to actually give a shit about them to be fair, they’re not just a toy or sportswashing game a la Saudi Arabia

Of course mate, post it and I’ll copy to my post
The TV channels are also now showing videos of the fighting in the Ukraine along with explanations. That’s massive because there’s still millions of Russians who believe they’re not in the wrong
We have an English friend here who had kids with a Russian mail order bride. The kids have been telling everyone at school that the fighting in Ukraine is a civil war and the media is blaming Russia as propaganda
Cheers, these guys, run out of Vilnius.
What with that actress reading her poem ‘Dear Mr President Putin’ on social media and what with Harry and Meghan, Holly Willoughby and Kerry Katona getting involved, Putin must be shitting himself now,

I’m sure with your sarcastic, bitter, snidey remarks, those celebrities will think twice before drawing attention to anything important in the future.
You’d rather people with millions and millions of followers just ignored it, yeah?

For me it sums up the kind of shallow, self-obsessed celebrity mindset that makes every crisis and tragedy all about them.

I don’t follow Harry and Meghan, Holly Willoughby or Kerry Katona, so it makes very little difference to me, but if you do I don’t see why you wouldn’t want them spreading the word to their followers, who might not be as up to date on “every crisis and tragedy” as you. It might be good for people to hear it from them.
If you don’t agree why don’t you DM them some abuse? Tell them how wrong they are directly, since they probably don’t lurk on here.

The middle-aged male snobbishness around the “Urgh, I can’t believe that actor/sportsperson/celebrity is talking about a thing I know about now!” thinking is embarrassing.
Give us a list of people who are allowed to speak up about Ukraine, and - more importantly - who is banned from mentioning it.

Theres a difference between saying “Russia’s actions are deplorable here are a list of charities you could send some money to support the Ukrainians” and singing Imagine in your mansion and writing Putin a poem.

Something needs to be done about Ukraine. But celebrity posts and people putting out tea lights or flags on their social media profiles isn’t it. They’re as much of a deterrent to Putin as a rain dance.

Yeah, shouldn’t be in the newspapers either, eh? I just wish people would bloody shut up about it.

For the record, it was American actress AnnaLynn McCord who wrote the poem. Holly Willoughby has done nothing wrong!

God bless her. If you’re reading this Holly, my apologies ma’am.

So much negativity in this place again.
If everyone on the planet DM’d that to Putin direct this war would be over.

Going for the most bullshit per square inch award there.
He hid in a fridge to avoid an interview.
The fuckhead would have shit dripping down his legs if he even tried to emulate 1% of what Zelenskyy is doing*. An instant legend.
*N.B. And so would I.
