There was solicitor on R4 this morning. He has a number of kleptocrats on his list of clients. He said he's amazed that no action has been taken to freeze their assets, and that he's advising them how to get assets out of the country or otherwise protected.

Since "fit for purpose" is an entirely nebulous term, what you said couldn't be less clear. But since you have refused to draw a distinction between the characteristics of politicians before, I assume you think they are all as bad as each other.Which is a strange opinion to hold to, this of all weeks.

I did try explaining that to him last night that "Woke" now seems to mean "things that are too complicated for me to understand but that I don't like."But he didn't seem to understand or like my post.

In my Industry Fit for Purpose is a legal contractual term used to determine that something at its very least is serving its basic purpose and nothing more. Our Government in my eyes, is no longer serving even that basic requirement.

Oh yes.... Putin's loyal doom mongering attack dog Lavrov...... what a despicable character. Definitely not someone that engenders trust, integrity or the slightest piece of sincerity....
IKEA closing all 17 of its stores in Russia...Hitting them in the soft furnishings...... although the colour scheme probably doesn't help.
