I wish we could ban him from the U.K.

What do you feel?

Smileless2012 Sat 16-Apr-22 11:09:46

Just wondering why on earth Putin would think Boris would want to go to Russia.

I was just wondering the same Smileless.

Boris and Joe Biden will be weeping into their beer about being banned from such a warm hearted country.

Smileless2012 Sat 16-Apr-22 11:18:34

AGAA4 grin.

Katek Sat 16-Apr-22 12:43:45

Nicola has also been banned!

Urmstongran Sat 16-Apr-22 12:47:16

12 other leaders have also been banned.

MaizieD Sat 16-Apr-22 12:48:25

I think that he's a bit upset at all the money that has been apparently wasted by Russia in buying the UK government.

Johnson might be a bit worried at a major source of tory funding drying up...

Does he really think they care? Does he not realise what most of the World thinks of him. Who would want to go, you might never get back. Gulag here I come.
I feel for the reporters who are in Russia at the moment how brave they are they could just disappear forever if they say something that upsets him.

MaisieD That comment made me choke on my lunch. Brilliant.

maddyone Sat 16-Apr-22 13:18:27

a bit upset

Haha Maizie, brilliant. It made me splutter into my cup of tea brew

Iam64 Sat 16-Apr-22 13:21:26

Yes well said MaizieD d

Chewbacca Sat 16-Apr-22 13:23:40

Dammit, no chance of him defecting then?

Smileless2012 Sat 16-Apr-22 13:28:38

The reporters are very brave Yammy.

Daisend1 Sat 16-Apr-22 13:28:46

That must have really 'bovvvered' him.

BlueBelle Sat 16-Apr-22 13:59:56

Damm I was hoping he’d make a trip there and forget the way home

Yammy Sat 16-Apr-22 14:05:19

He has also fired missiles near Kyiv. An admission that Ukraine missiles sunk his ship not internal combustion of his ammunition? Though if it is as out of date as some remnants found in Ukraine they reckon they were from WW1 it's a wonder they haven't gone up before.

timetogo2016 Sat 16-Apr-22 14:09:47

Putin must be jealous of Bj`s popularity.hahaha.
Thb i can`t see why Bj would want to go there anyway.

maddyone Sat 16-Apr-22 14:19:54

Lots of ministers have been banned, and correct me if I’m wrong, Biden too?

But strangely, not Rees Mogg. Perhaps they think he's not actually a real person but a cartoon caricature.

TopsyIrene06 Sat 16-Apr-22 14:25:34

Perhaps the Russian Ambassador to the UK will depart now.

No need to hang around unless someone on here knows if he has gone already? If he has, please ignore this.

DaisyAnne Sat 16-Apr-22 14:39:40

Here is the full list is:

Prime Minister Boris Johnson
Foreign Secretary Liz Truss
Defence Secretary Ben Wallace
Deputy Prime Minister, Lord Chancellor, and Secretary of State for Justice Dominic Raab
Secretary of State for Transport Grant Shapps
Home Secretary Priti Patel
The Chancellor Rishi Sunak
Minister of Entrepreneurship, Energy and Industrial Strategy Kwasi Kwarteng
Minister of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Nadine Dorries
Minister for the Armed Forces James Heappey
First Minister of Scotland Nicola Sturgeon
Attorney General for England and Wales and advocate general for Northern Ireland Suella Braverman
Conservative MP and former British Prime Minister Theresa May

I thought I would be the cynical one Maizie smile My immediate thoughts were that a couple would wear this as a badge of honour while the rest would see it as a threat and wonder what he would disclose about them as his next political move.

To visit friends? Collect money owing?
