'Morrissey from the UK'.
Seriously Ken, you see what you want to see, do you mean because Corbyn's hat could be construed as looking Russian?
Look at the backdrop here, a story about notorious paedophile Jimmy Saville and the BBC

A backdrop of a broken BBC sign and the notorious paedophile Jimmy Saville.
What's the agenda there then?
What do you think the implication in the image is?
I meant the broken BBC sign and the Saville shot.
To be fair though, when they ran the Do the Conservatives have a right wing problem segment nobody complained about the images at all:

Definitely bias, they haven't even got in a Tory apologist on the panel!
The Jimmy Savile one represented the story accurately in that the scandal had left the BBC's reputation broken, just like the Corbyn image represented the story.
If the BBC are ordering their staff to create coded images to discredit Corbyn in an ongoing propaganda campaign against him, I wouldn't worry, something like that won't stay secret for long. I mean with a better level of evidence than tweet quoting an anonymous source claiming it was a coded message of course.
My point is slightly more prosaic than believing a wide ranging conspiracy exists - just that at least in this instance they were less than impartial - probably because they are wont to dramatise for the sake of presentation. Just as how the Saville picture next to the broken BBC logo tells a narrative so does the picture of a plausibly commie hatted Corbyn, bathed in red, sitting between the Kremlin and St Basils. If the question is "Do Labour have a Russia problem?" then the picture is obviously begging the question. It's editorialising via image.
Well that didn’t work did it.SKY News:
Russia's response designed so nobody could see it as guilty
Kommersant, Russia's leading daily business newspaper, has said that the denials from various Russian politicians over involvement in the Skripals' poisoning, was calibrated to ensure nobody could interpret Russia's reaction as an indirect admission of guilt.
hmm
Is it just me or are these worded like a Russian would say them?
Also seen 'peoples' instead of 'people' more than once, which sounds awfully like that meerkat.
What countries are those exactly? In most countries where it could make an ounce of difference this technology is actually banned. It seems to me, that you have very little idea about oil market. China has very expensive shale oil it simply won't produce it. It's economically viable at oil price more than 200$, so that's off the table. So just you know China's oil production is actually falling, they lost around 0.5m bpd in the last couple of years. There is also Canada, but they are very oil-sand dependent, their shale oil won't be on the market in the next 5 years. So Canada's shale might add around 100,000 bpd if that. That's nothing in today's market. All in all their production is at the near maximum capacity and still way short of 5m bpd. So for the foreseeable future oil is simply not going to go over 50-55 threshold which is a comfortable rate for Russia. Because of the shale it won't go above 75-80 either. So as i was saying from the very start, shale oil is only a factor in terms of maintaining oil prices as they are in a 60-70 bracket. But that's not a factor that can allow oil price to fall beyond 55$. Simply because at those price shale companies will cease production if anything.Its not just US production - many countries are now discovering that they have shale deposits and with the extraction and transport technology improving, they will start to create their own oil and even ship it to other countries. That will keep the price of oil down for the foreseeable future.
What’s the significance of the “just 7km from Salisbury?”
They're implying that because it's just 'up the road' from Salisbury it would be easy for us to have carried out some kind of false flag operation. Using the distance between Porton Down and Salisbury is a tenuous association at best.
Desperation?Why are the Russian embassy in SA wading into this?![]()
“Exactly the type of focussed, disciplined unit”........sounds just like the FSB.The current British government is exactly the type of focused, disciplined unit that could successfully organize and implement a sophisticated false flag operation.
“Exactly the type of focussed, disciplined unit”........sounds just like the FSB.
Aye, it’s Russia for sure, getting rid of a traitor and getting the focus taken off Syria. One job, 2 hits.The FSB has nothing on the likes of David Davis and his relentless attention to detail. Or the former GP who is a leading expert on international trade deals. Or Boris with his incredible double bluff of being an idiot impersonating a smart guy who is pretending to be an idiot.
USA - 60 + Closure Russian consulate in Seattle.
Europe - 39 (Germany, Poland, France, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Denmark, Czech, Italy, Ukraine)
Lithuania also banned 44 from entering the country.
Why are there two simultaneously running Russia threads @Raoul ?
One is related to the Trump/Russia investigation, the other is related to Russian interference in global elections and murdering their own.
The other one is just updates in the US/Trump case.
