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

What do you feel?

mokryna Sat 16-Apr-22 23:40:15

Imagine a reporter asking JRM. Could you tell us why you are not on the list?

grumppa Sat 16-Apr-22 22:58:21

It must be very embarrassing not to be on the list.

It’s an eclectic list. I wonder if they banned Teresa May because they know something we don’t yet about the next PM?

Maybe they just didn't want her to feel left out.

Boris doesn't need to go to Russia. He can get instructions from his Russian donors here.

Chocolatelovinggran Sat 16-Apr-22 16:49:30

I thought the same, Casdon....

What a shame

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

To visit friends? Collect money owing?

Brilliant, GillT57!!?

Why wish that lot on Rwanda?

GillT57 Sat 16-Apr-22 15:00:34

True. Maybe NS could be exchanged for JRM?

Excuse me. Not all of them are Tories wink grin

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.

Oh for a crowd fund to put the whole sodding lot of them on a one way flight. Not Moscow,but perhaps the wonderful democracy that is Rwanda. That flight manifest would solve a lot. Sorry...bit if wishful distraction there.

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

Some great SOH on GN.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

That must have really 'bovvvered' him.

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

The reporters are very brave Yammy.

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

Dammit, no chance of him defecting then?
