At least 34 people have requested to move to Russia from the UK
What does this mean. So the actual number could be any number between 34 and the entire population of the UK?
Or, does it mean that there is 34 people that we know of. And they’re having trouble finding anyone else.
I wonder how many Russians have left Russia in the same time period.
I also wonder what percentage 34 people are of the entire population of the UK.
It just strikes me as a desperate propaganda ploy from the Kremlin. Inflating a nothing burger beyond all proportion.
I wish our expats well. And the best of luck to 'em.

The current population of the UK is somewhere around 68 million.
Thats enough people that you could probably find “dozens” who would say yes to just about anything.

That group of 34 people moving to Russia have been referred to by some as the Russia 34, or R34 for short.

Yeah, I saw that.
They even setup an entire website dedicated to the magnificence of Putin.
Just search for R34 Putin Russia

That’d be about 0.0000005% I think.

It’s around one in a million.

You can laugh, but the drywall installers of the UK ain’t laughing. Patching up the headbutt dents in the homes of these angry potatoes is their bread and butter.

The trick is to fit 9.5mm every time, until their partner asks if there is a way to make it stronger.
Then fit 2 layers of 15mm soundboard.

Brave people… Not clever but brave.
Do they have to give up their UK citizenship for this?
Valmond@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Who cares when they die in the trenches some weeks from now?

They’ll just be tortured to death like this guy.

You mean it’s not for painting and decorating jobs after all ?

I wonder if/how many of them will be unwillingly forced to the front lines in Ukraine within a year…

A recent migrant, identifying himself as ‘Nigel F from Clacton’, told reporters he was thrilled by his new life in Russia and the prospect of not having to see brown people at the shops or gay people on TV anymore.

Best thing Putin has ever done? I think maybe it is.

I’m sure they’ll be very happy in Russia. I’m sitting they’ll have long and productive lives and won’t fall out of any windows or anything.

Yeah… Please can he do the same here in Australia

Shipping people out of the UK to Australia?
That’d never work. You’d have to charge them at least ten pound.
