. for quite some time now john has spoken of russia with terms like our people and my country he really visits the u.k. he gets too quickly and relations with his british family have become complicated to i've got brothers and sisters in the u.k. and i think it annoyed them when i spoke to them some years ago that i said well our children meet at the border if there's a conflict comes to the border maybe my sister's son there and maybe my daughters on the other side of it they don't understand that as an englishman. i have no loyalty is there i have lots of anger and disappointment i like it here i mean it is difficult for people to understand they have democracy and freedom but what freedom is doing today is close to a freedom is a right to say what you want but not to destroy anything.
