26th February Boris gets so tough


In dishing sanctions that are being decribed by a government spokespeson as being 'as tough as tough can be' British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has shown the world just who the iron man of Europe really is. Amongst the economic and culturally crushing sanctions that Russia will face there will be...
