It says she's been spreading pro-war propaganda rather than exercising her democratic right to vote.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Also says she's self employed, so can't be sacked, they have chosen not to use her services.

 

[gosub]

If you have used her her services might be worth checking with the boundary commission whether she unilaterally moved the boundary

Also says she's self employed, so can't be sacked, they have chosen not to use her services.

Makes more sense.

 

[Yossarian]

I wonder if this London luxury real estate agent now known for her pro-Putin sympathies will have trouble finding more work

 

[Elpenor]

To be honest if I had someone who was working for me who was posting pro-invasion propaganda in support of a right-wing war criminal with near fascist tendencies, I'd kick her out too.

Labour voters from the 2005 election will be concerned

im not sure, just came across it, but i think her voting putin and posting about it was the pro war propaganda.

 

[Dogsauce]

Yeah, fuck her and similar fash cheerleaders.

At the same time I can’t help imagine the kind of shitshow that would ensue if the company had taken the same actions against someone advocating for Israel’s bloody slaughter.

Ukrainian Regional Council gives an award to the SS Galician veteran outed in the Canadian Parliament debacle. The award is named after , and in honour of, Stetsko the leader of the OUN-B in Bandera's absence, a Nazi collaborator who endorsed the extermination of Jews.

Good piece here on how Russia is using homophobia as a weapon of war

The Kremlin doubled down on this strategy when it launched the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Russian state media spread outlandish stories about L.G.B.T.Q. people — for instance, that a queer community center in Mariupol was “practically under the direct patronage” of President Biden and the U.S. Congress. Mr. Putin himself sounded increasingly unhinged as his invasion bogged down, describing the attack on Ukraine as a holy war against the West’s “reverse religion of real Satanism” in a September 2022 speech announcing that Russia would annex Kherson and three other regions.

...There is evidence that Russian forces are committing many other crimes in the process ... But international law must also recognize that Mr. Putin’s war against Ukraine is an explicit attack on L.G.B.T.Q. people and name that as a crime, too. While Russia is far from the first state to persecute L.G.B.T.Q. people — Nazi Germany is estimated to have sent thousands of queer people to concentration camps — it is the first superpower to deploy homophobia as a major justification for invading another country.

A real estate platform.

 

[A380]

As the polls open for three days of voting, in a devastating blow to those UK constituencies that like to compete to be the first to return a result on election night, it seems the results are in already...

• Putin will get 82% of the votes;
• Kharitonov (Communist Party of the Russian Federation) - 6%;
• Davankov (New People party) - 6%;
• Slutsky (LDPR) - 5%.

71% of Russians who are eligible to vote, will cast their votes. Only 1% of voters will spoil the ballots.


Well done everyone.

No Spunking Cockonovich?

Makes more sense.

Usually a standard clause about bring the company into disrepute. No court is going to object to what happened to her

Is this supposed to be a bad thing?

The draft framework for Ukraine joining the EU has been published and according to European Pravda its virtually been 'copy pasted' from that offered to Albania and North Macedonia. However, before that is put to the EU member states for agreement the EU wants to try and change the decision making over enlargement reducing the number of decisions that require consensus from all EU states. It's likely that they will want to get this completed before Hungary gets the chair, although in the recent past any objections have been resolved by simply paying them off.

The V-Dem democracy report for 2024 categorises Ukraine ( and Russia) in the third grouping , of the four they use, as an Electoral Autocracy, with Albania and North Macedonia as Electoral Democracies.

Ten years in prison for being gay. What a vile, disgusting, backward regime.

Russian authorities have arrested employees of a gay club as part of the country’s first criminal “extremism” case against members of the LGBTQ+ community, a court in the city of Orenburg said Wednesday.

Kremlin-aligned conservative activist Yekaterina Mizulina earlier this week announced criminal charges in connection with the LGBTQ+ club Pose’s activities.

Nationalist, pro-war activists said earlier in March that they helped law enforcement agencies raid Pose on suspicion of spreading “LGBT propaganda.”

The two individuals face up to 10 years in prison if found guilty of “organizing extremist activities.”

A statement on the court’s website describes them both as “persons with non-traditional sexual orientations” who “support the views and activities of the international LGBT public association banned in our country.”

The art director was accused of selecting drag artists for performances, and the bar manager of filming these performances.

“What LGBTI persons and human rights activists have feared since the end of last year has finally come to pass,” Amnesty International’s Russia Director Natalia Zviagina said in a statement.

If you're pro-Russia you're actively anti LGBTQIA.

Macron's deliberately manufactured macho image has a little way to go before he equals Putin's deliberately manufactured image . "Éric Anceau, a history professor at the University of Lorraine, wrote on X that the photos were “part of the neo-populist virility that certain leaders are fond of today, starting with the master of the genre (until now) Vladimir Putin”. As @.Editor says he's a narcissist .
