Leeds United Chat • Re: Is Russia preparing to invade Ukraine?

I would far prefer to live in Western democracies with our freedoms, of expression, of choice, freedom of the press, than to live on Russia. Even if the leader loves the "family unit" and the Church, in I'd still much prefer democracies where discrimination based on sexuality or religion is prohibited

These freedoms you speak of have tightly controlled parameters of which one must not go beyond. When one strays outside of these boundaries of thought, speech or expression then your free press labels them with nasty little names. Jeremy Corbyn found out to his cost how this works, along with many others before him.

I'd much rather listen to Putin than the lying manipulative gang that are sitting at the heart of power in London and using the media to beguil and demoralise the masses year after year, keeping themselves at the heart of government and without a credible opposition capable of removing them.
