PM and Chancellor FINED for Breaking COVID - 19 Rules - Post COVID - 19

Guardian: Reports " Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak fined for breaking lockdown laws...PM, chancellor and Carrie Johnson to receive fixed-penalty notices for attending illegal gathering  "

Lets Get Real:

Who really cares about the above, the BBC News and Sky News have the usual suspects, those that have never gotten over Brexit and those in the Conservative Party that were on the WRONG side during Brexit, also those that have always hated PM.  The Conservative Party must know it cannot lose its PM and Chancellor, that would be to much, thus Conservative MPs must hold their nerve, they might loath the PM but the cannot give the Opposition what it wants, if the PM does go then they will demand a General Election, do Conservative MPs really want a leadership contest and a general election, not if they are sane.   Also such developments would please Putin of Russia, that is the last thing that the West needs to give the Kremlin.  Thus Conservative MPs should stay silent and hold their nerve, the PM is not this bloggers favourite PM, but thus far there is no successor, the one person people were talking about, the Chancellor has enough problems with his wife's tax status and his US green card, thus who else, you could have dozen people running, right before we could face World War 3 over the Ukraine.  Thus MPs should stay calm, and not spout their views in public.

Possible Chemical Weapon used in the Mariupol - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

Sky News: Reports " UK 'working urgently' to verify reports of possible chemical attack in Mariupol..Foreign Secretary Liz Truss says: "Any use of such weapons would be a callous escalation in this conflict and we will hold Putin and his regime to account."  "

Lets Get Real:

Would assume that any use of WMD in the Ukraine would have gone high up the pole of command, thus one can assume that Putin had given it the green light, if the Russians have used chemical weapons in the Ukraine.  Thus one hopes and expects that the CIA, NSA on the US side and in the UK, MI6 and GCHQ WILL know by NOW if such weapons have been used and will tell their political masters.  Also one hopes that  SIS and the CIA can get ground material from the area, to check out the claims, it will be interesting to see how this story develops.  One really hopes Putin has not gone this far just to announce victory on May 9th. 

Have the Russians used CHEMICAL WEAPONS in Mariupol ? - Russia - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

BBC News - Live Blog Reports the following in its 12.44pm post, " Ukraine says it's checking unverified information that Russia has used chemical weapons in its siege of Mariupol. The Azov battalion - a Ukrainian military unit with links to the far right - said its fighters had suffered minor injuries, including shortness of breath. The BBC cannot verify this allegation independently.  "

Lets Get Real:

One doubts that Russians would use WMD in Mariupol, they have already destroyed the place, the Russians might use WMD if they were trying to smoke out the final resistance fighters and the people stuck in the bunkers.  The Russians have Mariupol surrounded, why take the risk of using WMD and forcing the UK and the US to react, that is the problem in the FOG OF WAR, one would need confirmation from the US and the UK before the West would react.  The NATO Countries must build up the weapons that it sends to the Ukraine.  The Kyiv Government needs more tanks and planes, they will have a big fight on their hands in the East.  The Russians will need a few weeks to rebuilds their army units after the pasting they took in the North.  This time should be used wisely by the West.
