Cancel Kremlin? Cameron Ross Turk

- Cameron Macleod

Vladimir Putin has cited JK Rowling as proof the West likes to “cancel” people – and says it is trying to cancel Russia.

Yes it is true the west is trying to cancel Russia, there is no doubt about that.

Oh don't you worry guy, after this is over your country's going to be cancelled all right for many a year, a pariah state until it proves it has irreversib­ly got rid of people like you. It can make a start at its rehabilita­tion by handing you over for trial.

With twisted coverage of what happens within a woke Scotland being relayed on Russian TV by the likes of [ Alex] Salmond and [ George] Galloway it is hardly surprising that Russia thinks of us in this way.

This is very worrying and something about which I was already concerned. But it confirms my worst suspicions that what we tend to think of as essentiall­y domestic arguments can actually spill over and have extremely damaging foreign policy consequenc­es.

Russia cancelled itself, killing innocents in a totally unnecessar­y war . They will pay for their war crimes.

Maria Laverty

I have no problems with the world cancelling Russia.

That's what happens when you get a conspiracy theorist in power.

Next week Putin will be on Youtube sitting in front of his $65, 000 truck, Rolex, Gucci baseball cap on backwards, complainin­g that the country is unfair to rich white men these days.

Vladimir Putin is a c razy, evil m adman but I can’t say I’m not on the same page as him when it comes to what he probably thinks of the Cancel culture woke people. I have n o time for people trying to cancel JK Rowling.

Putin’s a dangerous warmonger. JKR is an author who has encouraged millions of children to read and who has stated the biological fact that a man cannot change into women. No comparison. JKR’S ‘cancellati­on’ by the woke brigade is nothing short of scandalous.
