This is a very good point and something that should provide everyone with some comfort.

We have an amazing bunch of girls and guys looking out for us (biased because I married one and should probably suggest not attempting a night out with them but hey ho). As terrifying as it is watching a country attacked, please remember that there are always people fighting and pushing back.

My eldest was pretty upset tonight about it all, and I heard DH talking to him at bedtime about a Mr Rogers quote that I love:

“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.”

The second vid is a parody of the first. And you’re right, I agree. Why do mothers always get the blame? It was more likely being KGB that made him the way he is.

Please forgive if this is a stupid question, but can we donate blood from UK for those wounded in Ukraine? Couldn't find any information from an Internet search which makes me think its a daft question!

Oh god I feel sick, tears in my eyes , brave brave man Boris could learn a thing or two off him a man who genuinely loves his people. I'm frightened He's not going to survive this. He's right we have done fuck all.

The Russian protesters are also very brave . It's illegal to protest under Putin's regime, they can lose custody of their children , many disappear or get put in forced labour camps in Siberia.

Once he was sucked into the KGB there’d be no cutting ties,he’d carry too many secrets…Unhappiest looking bride and groom I ever saw.

From teenage romantic to the man who could spark WW3

There was a time when a younger Vladimir Putin was captured moodily staring down the camera during class photos in Russia or when he would pose for the camera dressed in a leather jacket.
