UK to Citizens in Ukraine: Flee, and if You Can’t, ‘Stay Indoors, Away from Windows’
Breitbart ^ | 02/23/2022 | Jack Montgomery

The British government has urged any citizens still in Ukraine to flee if they can or “stay indoors, away from windows” amid a large-scale Russian offensive.

Britain’s Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office (FCDO), helmed by Liz Truss MP, has urged citizens “to leave Ukraine immediately if you judge it is safe to do so” in an update to its official travel advice, but warned that it is “likely that commercial routes out of Ukraine will be severely disrupted and roads across Ukraine could be closed” due to the conflict.

I don't recall other countries telling the UK to stay indoors and away from windows when the

Luftwaffe was carpet bombing London. Stupid.

“And for gosh sakes put your Covid masks on.”

Exactly! That’s the most important thing.

Screw that. Find a gun and some ammo and shoot a dozen or so of the Russian soldiers.

No fleeing in cars, trucks, buses or on motorcycles. Walking only. Good for the planet

"Life During Wartime"
The Talking Heads

Heard of a van that is loaded with weapons
Packed up and ready to go
Heard of some grave sites, out by the highway
A place where nobody knows
The sound of gunfire, off in the distance
I'm getting used to it now
Lived in a brownstone, lived in a ghetto
I've lived all over this town

This ain't no party, this ain't no disco
This ain't no fooling around
No time for dancing, or lovey dovey
I ain't got time for that now

Transmit the message, to the receiver
Hope for an answer some day
I got three passports, a couple of visas
You don't even know my real name
High on a hillside, the trucks are loading
Everything's ready to roll
I sleep in the daytime, I work in the nighttime
I might not ever get home

This ain't no party, this ain't no disco
This ain't no fooling around
This ain't no Mudd Club, or CBGB
I ain't got time for that now

Heard about Houston? Heard about Detroit?
Heard about Pittsburgh, P. A.?
You oughta know not to stand by the window
Somebody see you up there
I got some groceries, some peanut butter
To last a couple of days
But I ain't got no speakers, ain't got no headphones
Ain't got no records to play

Why stay in college? Why go to night school?
Gonna be different this time
Can't write a letter, can't send a postcard,
I can't write nothing at all
This ain't no party, this ain't no disco,
This ain't no fooling around
I'd like to kiss you, I'd love you hold you
I ain't got no time for that now

Trouble in transit, got through the roadblock
we blended with the crowd
We got computer, we're tapping phone lines
I know that ain't allowed
We dress like students, we dress like housewives
or in a suit and a tie
I changed my hairstyle, so many times now
I don't know what I look like!

You make me shiver, I feel so tender
We make a pretty good team
Don't get exhausted, I'll do some driving
you ought to get some sleep
Get your instructions, follow directions
Then you should change your address
Maybe tomorrow, maybe the next day
whatever you think is best

Burned all my notebooks, what good are
Notebooks? They won't help me survive
My chest is aching, burns like a furnace
The burning keeps me alive
Try to stay healthy, physical fitness
Don't want to catch no disease
Try to be careful, don't take no chances
You better watch what you say

This way, if they weren't enough of a threat to make you flee Ukraine during the past week or so, shooting them will certainly make them a threat to you now...
