I'm not sure you can say that tbh. Johnson is very popular in Ukraine and the countries closer to the war. They only see his world stage grandstanding and appreciate it. They don't see what we see, in the same way that I have no idea what Zelensky is like as a peacetime leader of Ukraine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't hear a word against him. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Glasgow is mooted apparently. I f I recall tickets were around the 100 euro mark so pricey, but worth it I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandy Lifeboats Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 (edited) Ukraine should perform their song outside the Russian Embassy in London. That would be hilarious. Edited June 17, 2022 by Mandy Lifeboats Speeling mishsteaks 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
