So, world war three

Some very dangerous rhetoric being directed toward Russia today. But don't worry because CLOWNS!

Today shows that the majority of clowns are in Parliament and they've learnt absolutely nothing from the last 15 years.

Boris Johnson is the foreign secretary.

The fact that Boris is taken seriously in any context at all is a damning indictment of how much of a shit show politics is.

 

The man is a complete fucking shambles.

NatWest freezes Russia Today's bank accounts in the UK

 

NatWest bank has frozen the accounts of state-run broadcaster Russia Today (RT), its editor-in-chief says.

 

Margarita Simonyan tweeted: "They've closed our accounts in Britain. All our accounts. 'The decision is not subject to review.' Praise be to freedom of speech!"

 

RT says the bank gave no explanation for its decision.

 

It said the entire Royal Bank of Scotland Group, of which NatWest is part, was refusing to service RT.

 

The broadcaster says NatWest wrote to its London office, saying: "We have recently undertaken a review of your banking arrangements with us and reached the conclusion that we will no longer provide these facilities."

 

The bank said its decision was final and it is "not prepared to enter into any discussion."

 

He added that in order to "keep the pressure up", further sanctions against the Syrian regime "and their supporters" would be considered.

 

RT, which is run by the Kremlin, has previously been sanctioned by Ofcom for biased reporting.

 

This included claims that the BBC "staged" a chemical weapons attack for a news report on Syria.

 

The BBC won a case against the TV channel after complaining to Ofcom, saying the allegations made in a programme called The Truthseeker were false and struck "at the heart" of its obligations to accuracy and impartiality.

 

Ofcom ruled that elements of the programme were "materially misleading".

 

 

 

Found it interesting when looking at different articles on this. The BBC had to include the bit at the end for some reason, the Guardian's article actually looked like it had been by a British version of the Kremlin, the Telegraph's was very brief and quite neutral, the Mirror's just stuck to covering the story.

Russians about to stage their biggest war games since 1982 apparently and the Chinese are involved.

All the world powers have just sat down and decided that the best way to help the climate change battle is to have another big fuck of war on every continent which will eliminate people (the main polluters), whilst they sit in their bunkers playing scrabble, drinking Pimms and cavorting with underage prostitutes.

Excellent news, the sooner the better!

I mean, that's my Sunday. Apart from the prostitutes.

[KopOut]

Wot? Destroy the global marketplace?

The last time I looked the people who are creaming it and really DO get to decide these things are very happy with the status quo.

And mine. Apart from the Scrabble.

Quote

Ukraine's parliament is to decide whether to bring in martial law, after the capture of three of its naval vessels by Russia.

The three ships were sailing off the coast of Crimea, which was annexed by Russia in 2014, when they were seized.

Ukraine said Russia rammed one of its boats in an "act of aggression", while Russia said the ships had illegally entered its waters.

The incident marks a major escalation of tension between the two countries.

This is the first time the two militaries have come into open conflict in recent years, although Ukrainian forces have been fighting Russian-backed separatists in the east of the country.

Bring it on, anything that stops Brexit including the end of civilisation should be welcomed.
