Re: Russia Invades

There are demonstrations in Russia and Demonstrations here. These need to get bigger. If ther is one in Manchester I will be there. Make it massive. The minions just might be able to alter history here. There was one in Manchester last night outside the central library. Oleksandr Zinchenko was there.
