FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE?

Following on from my last post, the Russians now seem to be my biggest fans as they are now my most regular visitors by a large margin. I don't know what I've done to interest them so much; I have mentioned Vladimir Putin in a less than favourable way in the past, but that was some time ago and anyway, just because he ordered his security forces to launch a chemical weapons attack against a British city is no reason for me to repeat what I said about him.
He seemed to think the whole thing is funny and we should treat it in the same way. And they say that the British have a strange sense of humour.

BRITAIN FERST
Poor Britain First: this bunch of Nazi filth is not having a good week. Not only have it's two leaders been banged up for various offences including screaming abuse through someone's letter box, verbally assaulting a mother and her 12 year old Daughter and attacking customers at a pizza restaurant, they have now had their Facebook page banned.
Personally, my opinion about Facebook's "so-called" community standards are that they are something of a curate's egg. Some of the stuff they are quite happy to allow includes the re-posting of stolen pictures of sick children in like farming scams.
It was only a couple of years ago that Britain First members were harassing young people collecting for the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal. In one case they stood themselves next to a couple of 12 year old Sea Cadets and posed for pictures, claiming to be "protecting" them from Muslims. When they posted the pictures on their website, both the RBL and the parents of the children asked Facebook to take them down but they refused to do so.
Britain First also regularly displayed stolen photographs of murdered soldier Lee Rigby on their Facebook page. Again; when requested to remove them by the family, they refused.
I'm sure Tsar Putin's a thoroughly nice chap...
