In 1986, Gene Roddenberry said Patrick Stewart's name should "never, ever be mentioned in my presence again."

"What's actually going on in Ukraine" without mentioning the fact that Russia is invading it. Incredible.
Is it really appropriate for politicians’ faces to appear in advertising paid for by taxpayers? This ad would have worked just as well without the minister in it
