Oh dear. It seems that the clowns at ‘Stop the War’ are it again. In the wake of Kyiv launching its surprise counter-offensive on Tuesday, Russia has been forced to evacuate parts of the Kursk and Belgorod regions in the face of Ukraine’s advancing troops. It is the first time that Russia has been invaded since the Second World War and comes more than two years after Putin launched his illegal invasion. Arguably not a moment too soon…
So it was left then to ‘Stop the War’ – the most inappropriately-named movement since ‘Queers for Palestine’ – to disgrace themselves once again. One of the group’s useful idiots took to Twitter yesterday to claim ‘Ukraine’s escalation is terrifying’, adding, in capital letters, ‘STOP THE WAR.’ Users were quick to point out that, er, it was Russia who choose to violate Kyiv’s sovereign territory in February 2022. As Tory leadership contender Tom Tugendhat pointed out:
These pretend pacifists are silent on Russia’s murder, rape and torture of civilians.
