Weather is far more amendable for one's asthma too. The main reason I must add.

Wales might not be a wise location if your looking for a better atmosphere for asthma as the asthma prevalence in Wales is reportedly one of the highest in the world with 1 in 10 children and 1 in 12 adults currently being treated for diagnosed asthma and asthma deaths in Wales are more common than anywhere else in the UK

Over here it's very dry and hot which plays havoc with my asthma. Not had any rain for around 6 weeks now and it's only spring. Plus I've noticed a deterioration since the increase in use of ethanol in the petrol. I'm allergic to the stuff.

That's an interesting point though, thank you.

For instances like the present one, a nation needs defensive missiles to ensure it's population and land is safe and not escalate to firing one's own nuclear system. I cannot conceive of the UK using Trident before the Russian Federation fires their nukes first.

As we don't have an anti-missile system which can engage single or multi-warhead missiles. Sea Viper is much faster than, say, Sea Dart but the advantage of Viper is that the system can "track" multiple targets but not necessarily engage them all.

Putin will will want something to celebrate for the Red Square parade. I suggest the Ukrainians take out a few more ships.

The media are reporting that Putin is being asked by generals to declared war on Ukraine so as to mobilise more military resources. I think its only a matter of time before he escalates the conflict, hopefully Nato will have a response worked out. At the moment Ukraine is holding out, if its opposition starts crumbling, the western world will be under enormous pressure to be proactive.

Still have some difficulty over where the gas comes from:

Whilst some would see this as a show of unity:

Meanwhile we must really be getting under his skin:

We are, of course, such a small country, why on earth would we be considered a threat?

I'm sure the man sees any foreign feet or foreign manned wheels in Ukraine as an attack by the combined NATO forces and will use it as justification for attacking the nearest in retaliation. There's a feeling about that NATO is about to lose credibility.

Seems someone's not well maybe:
