sanctions are biting all Meerkat adverts have been pulled Meerkat ads pulled over Ukraine war sensitivities By Russell Hotten BBC News Published 5 days ago Share IMAGE SOURCE,COMPARETHEMARKET The Comparethemarket price comparison site has pulled ads featuring the animated rich Russian meerkat Aleksandr Orlov from news bulletins and content about the Ukraine war. The firm said it had reviewed its media strategy due to the sensitivities around the Russian invasion. Orlov, and sidekick Sergei, feature in one of the advertising industry's most recognised campaigns. The firm stressed in a statement: "The meerkats are fictional characters." Comparethemarket continued: "They have no association with Russia and the current situation. We are continually reviewing our advertising to ensure we're being sensitive to the current situation." Orlov does, however, hail from a fictional Russian town and subsequently moved to a London mansion, according to the firm's owner, Peterborough-based financial company BGL. The meerkat ads have been running since 2009, and have been so successful that Orlov's "simples" catchphrase was added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2019. The characters have spawned spin-off cuddly toys, sent as promotions to people who used the price comparison site. Comparethemarket's move underlines how the Ukraine war has put a focus on companies with Russia links, no matter how remote. There has been a social media campaign for UK supermarkets to show their support by renaming chicken kievs "chicken kyivs", using the preferred Ukrainian spelling of its capital. And an American restaurant chain, Applebees, apologised and pulled light-hearted ads when they appeared alongside footage of the invasion.

worst case scenario a Grozny style blitz of Kyiv On Tuesday, even Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s translator could not hold back his feelings as the Ukrainian President described Russian destruction in Ukraine. But as Ukraine resists, the Russian military could regroup. Britain’s Prime Minister said of Vladimir Putin: “His only instinct is going to be to double down and to try and ‘Grozny-fy’ Kyiv, if you know what I mean,” Boris Johnson said. And what does Johnson mean? In 1999, Vladimir Putin ordered the complete destruction of the Chechen capital of Grozny. The Russian military laid waste to Grozny, killing tens of thousands of civilians. In Putin’s own words, his troops “fulfilled their task to the end.” https://www.publicradioeast.org/2022-03-02/what-putins-destruction-of-grozny-in-1999-means-for-ukraine-now

interesting WEEK 1 death figures from ONS just out 2020 = 12,254 2021 = 17,751 (6,057 covid) 2022 = 12,262 (1,023 covid) 2015-2019 average = 12,175 ONS baseline = 13,298

bonkers policy.. protect the patients when vaxxed doctors/nurses have the same viral load and transmit same as the unvaxxed for nearly 2 years the doctors/nurses were according to the gov saviours/heroes , but get thrown under the bus after winter crisis is over and covid has fucked off

yes that is what i'm hoping for
