minus-squareIcePee@lemmy.beru.colinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up31arrow-down1·13 hours ago 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.

minus-squareFlorianSimon@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·2 hours agoOh, I understand. You’re trying to make people Google online pornography of Putin, by inventing a story around the Web’s famous rule number 34. Very clever!
