I doubt if "Ukraine" had much say in the matter. The USA obviously blew up the pipeline which they threatened to do months before they did it.

There is so much hard evidence of the Biden mafia corruption, if he hasn't been impeached/jailed by now, there's a good chance they never will.

Fuck me. Are we really really so daft as to be told to put a t-shirt on if we're feeling a bit burny? Me? I'm going to sit out with my beer-belly proudly displayed and turn bright red

I dunno about the whole Schofield thing, sure he was reputed to be a bit of a cunt off screen and there's a certain karma about his rather spectacular fall from grace, but the whole affair thing between 2 consenting adults should be their own business surely?

Clarkson chinned someone in the crew over a sandwich and he's considered a national treasure, Schofield wears the bumming hat and he's public enemy no.1?
I agree re. Philip Scofield.

Plus there's a more than a whiff of homophobia about his trashing. It's all very Brexity. ;)
I'm obviously missing something here, did Schofield do anything illegal?
Or is it just the same old people who hated the gays using another reason to hate the same people?

Plus, I've not seen Schofield on the box for yonks, so I guess it's outed the elderly and daytime TV watchers :lol:

If a nearly 60 year old bloke got a teenage girl a job on his show as a runner and then started having sex with her I'm pretty sure that would raise eyebrows too.
If he thought there was nothing wrong then why did he lie about it?

Why would he lie?
Isn't that standard procedure for anyone having an affair?

Bit weird and waay more of an age gap than I'd do but has he done anything illegal? You know, like Led Zep keeping an underage girl on a tour bus and only letting her out to hose the jiz out?
Or Bill Wyman with his 13 year old girlfriend who I can't remember the name of right now. Mandy Smith?

It's all a bit clutching at pearls isn't it?

It's very perverted what went on. It's not as common place as it used to be with the older men perving over young girls I suppose, but it still happens I suppose. So Phil knew he was on dodgy ground, which is why he lied I guess.

Not news as such, but I couldn't think of a suitable home.
