These were done in WW2 by the German-Jewish illustrator Walter Trier while in exile in Britain - does this look familiar when you look at Ukarine and what's happening there?
Three new YouTube clips from Policy Exchange, a London "think tank" and free to access: 1) The clip is 26mins: 2) The clip is 34mins: 3) The clip is 24mins long and I do recognise the name, plus a US friend commends him:
Concerning that the US has stated they believe the attackers will use chemical weapons This morning the rambling puppet lavrov accused (total rambling un joined nonsense) claimed that the US had some form of chemical testing going on in Ukraine which then gives the attackers the green light to do what they want

Zaporizhzhia - Wikipedia "Names and etymology See also: Dnieper Rapids and Zaporizhzhia (region) Until 1921 the city bore the name of Aleksandrovsk after the name of a fortress (Russian: Александровская крепость, romanized: Aleksandrovskaya krepost') that formed a part of the Dnieper Defence Line [ru] of the Russian Empire. In 1921 the city's name changed to the Ukrainian Zaporizhzhia (Russian: Zaporozhye). The name "Zaporizhzhia" literally refers to the position of the city located beyond the rapids - down-river or south of the Dnieper River rapids, formerly a major impediment to navigation and the site of important portages. (Later, in 1932, the rapids on the Dnieper river were flooded to become part of the reservoir of the Dnieper Hydroelectric Station).[4] Present and historical names of the city, and their renderings, include: Zaporizhzhia,[5] Zaporizhia, or Zaporizhzhya (UK: /ˌzæpɒˈrɪʒjə/, US: /ˌzɑːpəˈriːʒ(j)ə/; Ukrainian: Запорі́жжя, romanized: Zaporizhzhia; also Zaporozhye (US: /ˌzɑːpəˈroʊʒə/; Russian: Запоро́жье, romanized: Zaporozhye, IPA: [zəpɐˈroʐjɪ]), and formerly Alexandrovsk (Russian: Алекса́ндровск [ɐlʲɪˈksandrəfsk]) or Oleksandrivsk (Ukrainian: Олекса́ндрівськ [olekˈsɑnd⁽ʲ⁾r⁽ʲ⁾iu̯sʲk])."

Surely nobody is surprised by anything Waters says any more? A great poet, but he's long been a leading arse... really. The two things, sadly, rarely mutually exclusive. I can still enjoy that new-to-me version of Gunner's Dream. (On the wider point, though - I avoid the Twatter accounts of almost everyone I've long fangirled over from afar. Admiring someone's music/writing/acting etc. doesn't mean I have to see their every ridiculous emission. Robert Carlyle on such: "I mean we’re all entitled to an opinion. I just find that too many actors find it difficult to get theirs across without sounding like a twat." - I liked him quite a bit more after reading that... )

Got home from work. The family are watching Crufts on TV. Plenty of pampered pooches. Meanwhile I'm sat there reading stories about the dogs in Ukraine eating human corpses.
It is a very good sign that more than two weeks in the invasion the Ukrainian Army is able to launch counter-attacks and cause great causalities among the Russians. It speaks of a professionalism that few ever realized.
Interesting that those he condemns in his Twitter reply does not include Rwandan ethnic cleansers or Cambodian year zero genocide enablers. Selective memory syndrome or something else?
