It’s time to stop the brutal dictator Putin

Channel 4 News last evening showed a clip of a Ukrainian doctor talk about what was happening in his hospital. He was a man in his late 50s, tears in his eyes as he spoke about the evil that Russia was perpetrating on Ukraine.

In that same programme a member of the Ukrainian parliament told the story of how the Russians are kidnapping children and sending them to far off places in Siberia. 

It was shocking news.

On Monday morning the Russians bombed an ammonia factory in Ukraine. They are turning the country into ash. For what?

Does Vladimir Putin still believe he is saving the people of Ukraine?

Russian dissident Alexei Navalny was sentenced yesterday to a further nine years in prison.

It’s clear to the world now that Vladimir Putin is a despot, a dictator. He must be stopped.

It so happens on this day, March 23, 1933 that the Reichstag passed the Enabling Act, making Adolf Hitler dictator of Germany. 

Did the world think that within 90 years Europe would see a second brutal dictator?
