    Blame it on the Russians

    It seems we have a catch all excuse for pretty much anything - how can we exploit this?

    I forgot to set up my council tax standing order due the the council's 10 month installment thing. I'm thinking of just not paying it and blaming it on Putin somehow.

    IR35? - I'm sure we can get Vlad to take the rap for that - 'Russians hacked my agency and changed my contract'

    Anything else? I'm thinking wide scale get out of jail free card here.

    That's classic RT propaganda talking point - pick up ridiculous irrelevant things "to blame on Russians" in order to shift attention from horrific war crimes commited by the state owned by KGB.

    About time CUK resisted this propaganda points posted by Russia's useful idiots like Jog On - ban 'em all.

        Are you sure they didn't hack you and change the meeting time just to cause some chaos and instability?

            Don't take it personally. It's Putin who we blame for the illegal occupation of Crimea and Assad's war crimes. We don't hold cringing toadies like you personally responsible.

              You blame Putin for Assad's war crimes? So is Assad off the hook now?

                Do you understand the idea that more than one person can be responsible for a crime? If so, work out the rest for yourself. If not, consult St Petersburg for guidance.

                    We'll worry about that when we do.
