Many are Russian speaking fromEastern Ukraine which makes matters more difficult. Also no £350 per week here!
It’s per month. Imagine how traumatised they must be…..begs belief

This figure has increased enormously in more recent years, with an estimated 2.2 billion Christian followers recorded in 2010. The research center also predicts that Christianity will remain the world’s largest religion for the next four decades if these trends continue, with a projected 2.9 billion people practicing Christianity worldwide by 2050 and exceeding 3 billion thereafter.
And as promised I won't be placing any fresh faith related content on this thread apart from answering any misconceived ideas in relation to what I have stated before.
Considering world population has grown at a rate greater than the rise in the number of Christians you've quoted, it's hardly a staggering statistic.
Also, if you were around during WW1 and WW2 would the end of the world been equally as imminent?

As for the Ukraine situation - now there is talk of involvement from other countries and reports of Russia bombing near the Polish border, it's imperative that they make some progress with talks and try to resolve this diplomatically. Feels like we are slowly sleepwalking towards a much bigger conflict.
Agree about Oborne being something of a principled Tory. There are a sprinkling of others, Dominic Grieve springs to mind and I get a similar impression about David Gauke.

She certainly is, I’d like to think I could stand up for something as brave as that.

Anybody signed up to Homes for Ukraine yet? With WIZZ airlines now flying direct to Cardiff then the capital and surrounding areas would be a convenient place to receive refugees.

Matt, when you've posted this, didn't you look at it and think to yourself that it needed editing?

the fine is one thing, but when the world's attention is elsewhere journalists have been killed in Russia for a lot less than this.

Being that she did it on one of Russia's most popular shows maybe "the Russian people's" attention is more accurate
