@Turloughc @peterjukes Why is Lord Michael Ashcrap so fascinated by the Ukraine? he goes on a tour to see the Russian/Ukraine war front - yet skips across the country a few hundred miles to have lunch in a restaurant in north west owned by Andrei Pannikov? 
@Turloughc @peterjukes Lord Michael Ashcrap isn't hiding the fact he went to see the EASTERN front in Ukraine - so why is he is the north west eating at a noted Russian oligarch's restaurant?
@Turloughc @peterjukes But difference is 'go for a visit have a nice time' AND 'go for a visit, write up some pure Putin propaganda designed to instil fear in his enemies' - that's the bit I don't get about Lord Ashcrap
@Turloughc @peterjukes Lord Ashcrap and his love that dare not speak its name runs deep with Russia - here he is getting a spin round a military base (all perfectly normal apparently) from a year before
@Turloughc @peterjukes Lord Ashcrap and food seem intertwinned with his endless number of Russian visits 2015, 2016 2017, 2018, 2019 - here is the wheeler dealer in St Petersburg
@Turloughc @peterjukes what is most odd about Lord Ashcrap is his periodic pro-Putin shite he spews - here in March 2016 he ran a focus group saying "What if Russia invaded Finland what would the EU do' (WTF is this about) Putin road testing future plans?
@Turloughc @peterjukes Now just in case anyone doubts these Lord Ashcrap photos - we've got a nice one from 2015 where he and Miss Oakshitt Brexit Propagandist are outside an airport in Russia
Now to tail off the thread a comment on Lord Ashcrap and his keeness to fund the Tory Party - why do you think that might be?
@threadreaderapp Unroll
If you are hoping to theoretically work really closely with Russia it really helps if you can speak the language too - Lord Ashcrap does @Turloughc @peterjukes
@Turloughc @peterjukes @carolecadwalla "In Sept, in Lutsk, at a meeting with President Viktor Yanukovych, head of regional state administration, Boris Klimchuk, named owner of Ratnovsky Agrariya JLLC Andrey Pannikov as the best foreign investor in region" golos.com.ua/rus/article/39…
@Turloughc @peterjukes @carolecadwalla Lord Ashcroft has friends in high places and likes lunch in areas they virtually own - Andrei Pannikov on the right being one example golos.com.ua/rus/article/39…
Ashcroft's Volyn Oblast/Lutsk dinner date co-financed the Miss Universe 2013 Donald Trump Pageant + spends every last cent 'avoiding public eye' and seeking to disappear from the World Wide Web - why might that be? @Turloughc @peterjukes @carolecadwalla volynpost.com/news/15849-u-v…
Any doubt they own it? Valentin Antonovich says without letting control out of his hands. - We own 6,000 hectares in three districts: Ratnovsky, Kovelsky, Starovizhevsky" 2013 Valentin Antonovich director of Pannikov's Ratnovsky Agrariy @Turloughc @peterjukes @carolecadwalla
Volyn Post seems angry about Putin's oligarch coming in and taking over 'a whole region' - still he has owns great restaurants that Lord Ashcrap loves to visit going vast distances out of his way to do so - any explanation? - the rumour mills say 'Brexit' volynpost.com/news/37217-na-…
