'the weather sucks, let's just do a murder with some nerve agent and then call it a day'

I don't really know what to think about this until I've heard Alex Salmond's take on RT.

The road from Salisbury to Stonehenge was indeed blocked by snow on 3 and 4 March. That much of their story is indeed true, despite the mocking. Two failed attempts to get to Stonehenge blocked by snow is perfectly feasible.https://t.co/WB4hu5oESC

was there a point when Murray went full foil helmet or has he always been like that and i've only noticed this year?

mark otm, the paucity of their alibi has to be deliberate trolling

he seems like a very skeptical type who's gone full Galloway in no time at all! Maybe he has been poisoned by some brainwashing nerve agent.

calzino, Thursday, 13 September 2018 12:24 (five years ago) link

he hasn't let that "look! they're in exactly the same place at exactly the same time!" self-clown slow him down at all

He's often not bad at highlighting gaps in official information - the way he fills those gaps with speculation is usually hilarious, though. As with David Shayler, i suspect being that close to some actual conspiracies has had an unfortunate effect on his ability to weigh up the probability of other ones.

you start thinking there can't be any conspiracies, when the majority of people disseminating them are all clowns and fules!

tbfttl he did uncover a lot of important stuff both in Uzbekistan and on Alisher Usmanov, though I guess nobody particularly caring when he was right probably did not help.

Remarkable.

I bet all those folks left homeless in parts of the Caribbean without a passport or nationality will be eternally grateful for the protection Brexit has afforded them from extremist parties.

Plainly they are not being entirely open. Most likely interpretation of that is that they are a gay couple - not a good thing to admit in Russia, sadly - and that they are involved in the dodgy end of the bodybuilding supplements trade.

It occurred to me that about two thirds of my holidays are roughly as suspicious and I should extend some sympathy in that regard.

‘What were you doing in Siberia in 2016?’
‘Uh, I wanted to see Tomsk’s famous 19th century wooden houses’
‘And you visited Switzerland for eight hours a few years ago?’
‘There was a sale on fancy jackets at a shopping mall’

Scottish Country Tweerking (Tom D.), Friday, 14 September 2018 13:32 (five years ago) link

yeah but some wanker from the TUC has dismissed Labour AS as made up by the state of Israel. So that's the main story today.

calzino, Friday, 14 September 2018 13:33 (five years ago) link

If only these dickheads would learn to stfu occasionally, no chance of ever getting anywhere near the moral high ground (if there is such a thing really!) over the other racist party with that mindless shit-talking.

calzino, Friday, 14 September 2018 13:39 (five years ago) link

stories like that go way back to the 30's. In Wachsmann's KL book there was an account of a Jewish guy who got into the UK with fake papers, told the HO he was going to be put into protective custody by the Nazis. The HO deported him, he died in Dachau. Just saying cos Tories (inc the Labour ones) often talk about this fantasy of what a welcoming country this was in that era for refugees, notwithstanding unaccompanied children etc.

S.S. is a common abbreviation for “sovershenno sekretno”, Russian for “top secret”

lol I'm sure back in the Soviet Union days they wouldn't have given the fucking game away on the passport.

well, thats one for Craig to pursue anyways!

I went down to Salisbury
To listen to the choir,
A pair of Russian tourists
They were staring up the spire,
Staring up the spire, they were,
Silent and aghast,
Against the sky, hurtling by,
A piggy flying past.

Craig Murray can prove she's not even been to Salisbury since April 2008.

bellingcat but an actual kitten, with a bell

mark s, Sunday, 16 September 2018 10:08 (five years ago) link

there was a poll quoted in the Observer yesterday (from a sample of 2000 people) that most would vote for a new centrist party. In the last week we've had Macron mugs, him talking like a cunt to an unemployed person, an oh yeah he's got a record low approval rating and Nation Rally is going neck and neck with his coalition. On the other hand Lord Jim O'Neill, aka Baron O'Neill of Gatley, former Goldman Sachs chief economist and Gideon's go-to economist (for what that is worth!) in The Times yesterday: "I find myself struggling to be that scared by the prospect of a Corbyn government. They have captured the mood of the times."

calzino, Monday, 17 September 2018 07:35 (five years ago) link

That poll probably says more about the appeal of 'none of the above' right now than anything else.

Matt DC, Monday, 17 September 2018 09:38 (five years ago) link

true, but that isn't what the "politically homeless" are currently saying. And I've not seen much comment from them on the current state of Macron's centrist coalition.

calzino, Monday, 17 September 2018 09:48 (five years ago) link

Then the party needs to have a leader that has appeal, a coherent program (not just "a people's vote" with anything else as an afterthought), an organised campaign that cuts through etc., to even transform this vague desire into votes.
