The BG does not normally link to the Daily Mirror, but we have done so today. The report below (about President Putin’s health is deeply, deeply concerning.

The Mirror has done a sterling job with this report – which stands in stark contrast to the very poor reporting across the board on the military situation in Ukraine at present. Which is why the BG repeatedly links to the very well researched and authoritative blog-posts of Doctor Richard North, of which today’s post should be read after reading the Mirror’s report.

British Gazette comment: So there we MIGHT (I stress, “might”) have a situation where we have a disturbed President of Russia, a President of the United States suffering from dementia, Boris the Buffoon in office as the British Prime Minister and the deeply unimpressive Mrs O’Leary in office as the Foreign Secretary.
God (and Ursula von der Leyen) help us!
BG readers will know that I am no Europhile or Remainiac, but the world desperately needs someone to get a hold of this situation before it runs cataclysmically out of control.
Politics aside, Ursula von der Leyen is a highly competent leader of sound mind. A German politician and a physician, she has been President of the European Commission since 1st December 2019. She served in the Cabinet of Germany from 2005 to 2019, holding successive positions in Angela Merkel’s cabinet, most recently as Minister of Defence.
I’m afraid to say the the last paragraph oh this post is very poorly researched. anyone who looks into VDLs track record in German politics and since becoming President of EU Commission will clearly see that she is a politician of dubious success in posts within the German Government and numerous failures attributed to her in her present all powerful position. Promoted above her ability !!! Who can forget her implementing Article 16 at almost midnight to try and block Vaccine trades to name bu tone almighty ill judged gut reaction decision.
