I once wrote on a wall 'Clapton is God'

I spent most of my life believing that Eric Clapton was the all-time greatest guitar player, but maybe Mark Knopfler trumps him?

How on earth can they find £10 BILLION for Ukraine yet at the same time say there is no more money to help the hard pressed citizens of this country?

UK pledges £10 billion in aid to Ukraine

British PM Burham told the House of Commons that President Zelensky reacted with joy to new funding, saying: "You have made my day." The package includes £10 billion in economic and military support via loans and export finance guarantees, plus urgent winter military funding.

Burnham declared the entire country united in backing Kiev and sent an unambiguous signal to Moscow that Britain will support Ukraine for as long as it takes.

⚡️ Russian MFA statement on personal sanctions against executives of British defence companies (October 27, 2026)

In response to London’s hostile anti-Russian policy, which includes stepped-up efforts to flood Zelensky’s neo-Nazi clique with weapons, a decision has been taken to add several executives of British defence companies to Russia’s entry ban list. These companies supply the Kiev regime with weapons and military technologies used to strike deep inside Russia.

Clearly, the massive supplies of missiles, drones and related technologies to Ukrainian thugs serve a single purpose – to inflict maximum damage on our country.

The British narrative of a supposed “defence dividend” for their own military-industrial complex only highlights their purely exploitative and opportunistic approach to Ukraine, whose statehood is being sacrificed, in part, to generate profits for private British companies and their lobbyists.

Meanwhile, the funds that Andy Burnham’s government is channelling into military contractors’ projects that bring death and destruction could be put to use in the UK civilian sector, where the crisis is deepening as a result of mistakes by successive British governments that are eroding the country’s social fabric.

The ruling Labour party, however, whose Russophobic obsession differs little from that of its Conservative predecessors, apparently has very different budget priorities.

❌ The following British nationals are now barred from entering the Russian Federation:

• HEAD, Alex Edward – CEO of Rotron Aerospace, a company participating in the Brakestop long-range missile development project;
• OLIVER, Kev – Chief military adviser to Rotron Aerospace;
• ZAMBELLAS, George – Chairman of the board of directors of Rotron Aerospace;
• GASCOYNE, Robert Michael – CEO of MGI Engineering, a company participating in the Brakestop long-range missile development project;
• APPLETON, Neil – Executive director of drone manufacturer Malloy Aeronautics;
• WEBB, Paul – Director and co-founder of reconnaissance UAV manufacturer Tekever UK;
• CRACKNELL, Julian Frederick Charles – Chief technology and information officer at BAE Systems.

❗️ Work to expand Russia’s stop list in response to the hostile actions of the British authorities will continue.

There is OUTRAGE after a photo emerged of an Israeli soldier smiling as she posed in front of the damaged Saint Joseph Church in the village of Qaouzah

🔴 New Investigation: The son of an Israeli secret agent, Lyor Cohen is the most important man in hip hop having owned Def Jam music & Roc-A-Fella managing some of the most famous rappers & singers. With inordinate influence over the genre, he has made his views on Israel/Palestine clear, and has used his influence to stamp out what he sees as anti-semitism in the industry.

He is now head of YouTube Music, and is working with the U.S. State Department on a new program directly modeled on the CIA’s successful Cold War-era attempts to use American artists to help force through color revolutions in targeted countries.
