The War starts Putin announces "Military Operation" in Ukraine. Explosions heard in Kyiv

71 refugees now housed between work colleagues & families. No adult males, all females & children. I’ve only met one family but my colleagues tell me that many of the ladies are emotionally grief stricken to the point where it’s almost impossible to provide any support.

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

Admin - can we have a separate Religion Forum set up please, then Colgate and his halo of confidence can speak to his God and tell Him all about the heathens on the main message board.

10 years hard Labour in Siberia but maybe woke the Russians up?

Thanks for confirming my comments on the state of UK spirituality in contrast to the 1950's (and before).

As for a 'dying cult' then > According to a survey conducted by the Pew Research Center, there were only an estimated 600 million Christians worldwide in 1910. 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?

So brave, I hope the sacrifice she has made will prove worthwhile.

JC on the right side of history - again. Peter Oborne is one of the few reliable ones left, and the fact he's the rarest of creatures - a principled Tory, lends even more weight to his credibility. I'm looking forward to reading his 'The Assault on Truth'. Well, as much as it's possible to look forward to a book that will depress the life out of me

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.

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.

He's walked into another country with no due process, i don't Putin gives a shit where the 'Worlds Attention' may or may not be over this one.

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