On National Ukrainian flag day and the day before Ukraine Independence Day too.
Who says he has no sense of occasion …

Well, at least he was spared the ignominy of falling from a window.

What a shocker. It makes a change from throwing them out of windows I suppose.

What I never understood was how this guy thought he could humiliate Putin and get away with it. Once the revolt was started he should have just gone through with it.

[LadyCG]

Well what were the chances?

Someone needs to take that demonic despot out once and for all.

[ladybirder]

LCG I'm amazed it hasn't happened before now.

[jno]

one of those cases where I want everyone to lose.

[LadyCG]

Me too, LadyB, but it only says he was on the passenger list, he might not have been on the plane. Here's hoping it was a decoy....

[ichkeria]

Rather odd circumstances - two places: one apparently shot down, the second flew to Peter and straight back.

Hmmm …

[ichkeria]

Two planes not “places”

[Gromit]

Two horrible people.
One dead, one to go :-)

[Peter Pedant]

Is Prighoshin really dead?
I went to bed for snooze, wiv Wimmins cricket, and Indian moon shots and awoke from a deep sleep to find

Prigozhin shmert ( meant to be Russian for P dead).

what does this mean for the war?

[Peter Pedant]

the second flew to Peter and straight back.
ay must report that there have been no planes landing or indeed crashing in west manchester.... P P

[ichkeria]

Means nothing I would say for the war.
I am sure he is dead, and if he isn't he was meant to be. Given the speed of the announcement.
If he turns up undead subsequently it'll be because he cheated them.

[Peter Pedant]

What a shocker. It makes a change from throwing them out of windows I suppose.
after having stabbed themselves please.

oh god andy will be after me for doubling up
and threads about dead people are un-mimzy and liable to sudden and permanent er death

[roopower]

Typical Putin, sacrificing the rest of the passengers and crew to get his man.

[237SJ]

Seems very quick for names of passengers to be released though.

[Peter Pedant]

LandF has suddenly got very fluent in English -at least half of us think he is spoofing ( chimney sweeps and lesbos are ...... a challenging combination)

[ichkeria]

"Seems very quick for names of passengers to be released though. "

It does,
Although it was a private lane with only a handful of passengers.
But it's a good point.

[237SJ]

And crew - who have lost their lives
