Having played online games since the 90s this isn't the first time I've been called gay, but it's the first time it was by a nation state.

Seems to follow the form: impersonating fake statement - fake exaggerated statement - fake agreeing statement. It's funny. It looks like a really low effort attempt at mimicking COD online lobbies.

When I was at school our favourite joke for the 5 mins or so that he was premier was ‘name a famous Russian leper’ (I was 12; I realise now that it was possibly not in the best taste…)

Oh! Now I finally understand a joke that used to be told when I was too young to know anything about Russia or its leaders!
