What Do the Following Four Have In Common In The Last Few Weeks?
British Airways planes at Heathrow Airport!
Coffee Beans in Brazil!
Thousands of naughty school children in the UK and the USA!
Dr Maria Vorontsova!
The answer is – drumroll please – Boom, Boom, Boom……….: -
THEY HAVE ALL BEEN GROUNDED!
For those are not aware Dr Maria Vorontsova is the daughter of that resurrected lunatic Emperor Caligula (A.D 12-41) – who these days is going under the name of Vladimir Putin.
Vladimir Putin has allegedly grounded his daughter in case she leaves the country for ever, as she had apparently decided never to return to Russia. Dr Maria Vorontsova wanted to fly abroad for a tropical beach holiday to mark her birthday with her partner Yevgeny Nagorny, 33.
The General SVR Telegram channel reported: ‘Putin responded with a categorical refusal, strengthening the security protection of Maria’.
Smart girl - as allegedly the president’s eldest daughter did not plan to return to Russia.
Not so smart girl – by telling someone who blabbed to her father.
The difference between thousands of school children in the UK and the USA, who will have been grounded recently for all sorts of parental infractions, is that unlike Dr Maria Vorontsova they are not 37 years old.
Still, she may have fared better than the children of that last Russian tyrant Stalin.
Stalin’s firstborn son was Yakov Dzhugashvili. Early on he tried to commit suicide but only wounded himself. Stalin’s only comment on the event was “He cannot even shoot straight.”
In the war Yakov was captured by the Germans and died in a prison-camp as Stalin refused to exchange him for Hitler’s nephew – who would have got the worst in this deal? His wife was then sent to a gulag for two years on Stalin’s orders – very sympathetic I’m sure. Stalin’s only comment on his son’s capture was “There are no prisoners of war, just traitors to the homeland”.
A sentiment that I expect Putin screams down his James Bond villain’s table at his military commanders at every morning briefing over the last 62 days.
Stalin’s second son, Vasily Dzhugashvili became an alcoholic – not surprising really. Stalin’s verbal report card on his second son was to say “a spoilt child of average abilities, savage, not always honest”.
You can’t buy that sort of parental love and care.
On Stalin’s death Vasily was imprisoned due to his name, then exiled by Nikita Khrushchev and died at the age of 41 of the effects of alcoholic poisoning.
The dictator’s only daughter was married three times, defected to the West, left her children in the USSR, returned to Russia, went back to the USA and died in Wisconsin at the age of 85. For most of her adult life she was impoverished, lonely and generally thought of as deeply unhappy. She ended up despised in both the West and her Russian homeland because she carried the burden of her infamous father’s name.
A salutary history lesson for all of Putin’s offspring for although I do not believe the sins of the father should be transferred to his descendants that is what generally happens.
Meanwhile on the central stage Putin appears to be getting madder and madder as the Ukrainians continue to defy his war efforts. The main highlights of the last few days are: -
- Moldova appears to be his next target as Russian troops are now slowly moving to create a land corridor to the Black Sea.
- Putin now threatens suppliers of weapons to the Ukrainians with retaliatory missile strikes including Poland, the USA and the UK.
- The word nuclear is being bandied about with the familiarity of the word ‘chips’ in a sea side resort – no worry if you are a dying dictator but very frightening to the rest of the free world.
- The Russians are clearly attempting to create a false narrative to use as an excuse to target, then takeover, former USSR nations.
AS WE SEE THESE GROWING EXAMPLES OF PUTIN’S MADNESS WE MUST PUSH OUR PETITION HARD AS THOSE FROZEN ASSETS ARE DESPERATLEY NEEDED TO SUPPORT THE UKRAINIAN REFUGEE CRISIS.
WHAT IS THE POINT OF FREEZING BILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF ASSETS OF THESE CRIM-BILLIONAIRES IF WE DO NOT USE IT NOW – EVERY MINUTE WE WASTE UKRAINIANS ARE SUFFERING OR DYING!
The Ukraine has become the key pivot point between freedom and oppression so we must all do everything we can to assist, however big or small. Remember ‘for the sake of a nail………….’
People told me I would not get very far with this but with all your help so far I can report yesterday we went through 500 signatures – please help the suffering Ukrainians by further spreading the word across all your social media platforms – next target is 1000 signatures.
Love to All
