Why has the Great President Putin not been invited to attend Queen Elizabeth II's State Funeral

[AsleepInYorkshire]

I'm sorry but this has really messed up my plans for tomorrow.

Very thoughtless indeed.

Is it possible for the UK's government to lay on a last minute aircraft to collect President Putin and his dignitaries?

Putin really should be our guest tomorrow. It's no more than he deserves.

Is there a great one then, other than the one with whom we are all familiar?

I believe the have called him Vladimir Putin the Great in Ukraine as he has single handedly destroyed the Russian armed forces in a seriously short period of time. They can't speak highly enough of him in Ukraine.

Hi Paul,

I hope you're well.

I'm really sorry to say this but I am deadly serious. Putin has every right to be at a funeral tomorrow. No one deserves it more.

Should we have supplied the plane?

Would the crew have been issued with parachutes?

Edit: I have just re-read your comment about the UK government laying on the aircraft.

[pje16]

Would the crew have been issued with parachutes?

Yes, as long as they promise to bale out over the channel

Should we have let him attend the Queen's funeral before the accident, or would the accident have happened on the way here?

I can assure you there would be no accident

I presume Zelensky was invited, and I thought that I briefly saw him in the congregation at Westminster but I could be wrong.

His wife Olena Zelenska was there.

Scott.

It seems a bit mean not to invite him just because a couple of months ago he was threatening to reduce the UK into a nuclear wasteland in 30 seconds.
