Well, the money markets didn't like the mini budget. I met Liz Truss in a hotel in Monmouth a few years ago. She said her solution to pensioner poverty would be to feed them on Pedigree Chum. Not only would this save a lot of money, it would give them shiny coats and a nice cold nose.
Interesting. And you're not going through a VPN? I can't view rt.com on my phone, using either chrome or firefox, via ISP or mobile data, same with my laptop. Nor is it available on my TV. And it is a fact that it has been blocked in the UK, so I'm not sure how you're able to view it if you're in the UK and not using a VPN.

I'm on the works wifi, so I don't know. I'll try from home later.
I was curious to see what message it would come up with but the website just opened for me.
And both you and Vain have missed the point: we do not have free access to whatever information we choose to view; big tech, social media platforms and Western governments collude to curate and censor what you can and can't see. It may be better than China, but it's still nowhere near free.

I promise this is my last Ukraine post on the wrong thread!
The Beeb is far from perfect but this is their report on the latest from the Donetsk region...
This chap (who has now fled Russia) has managed to source some Russian media/tv reports (TV exerts start at 4:45)... I'm no expert but there appears to be a different approach to BBC and Russian reporting???

There's plenty to be concerned about in the UK: criminalisation of protest and dissent, government bullying of media and the judiciary, corrupt and dark money at the highest levels...but calling equivalence between the BBC and RT is simply laughable, that's not a sensible conversation in any way.

It's only laughable if you have no idea of your inherent bias towards the institution that you've known and trusted all your life. If, on the other hand, you've studied the whole spectrum of media, including RT since its inception, and measured them all against each other over many years, weighing their respective stances on any given subject, that you can see just how biased each one is; and the BBC is as culpable in mis or disinformation as any other state news organisation, in not only what it chooses to highlight, but what it chooses to leave out. Having worked for BBC news for over 3 and a half years (1998-2001) I experienced that at first hand. Having seen its at times incredible bias towards things I actually know personally to be different or untrue, I am under no illusions about the BBC, any more than I am about RT. And over the years, I have found RT to often be more reliable than the BBC when it comes to UK and global affairs.
Beale stays - hoorah - Truss resigns! She just resigned.

Get your money on Rishi the snake for a total WEF take over of Britain.
I thought we'd end up with CCP sleeper agent & Lockdown fanatic Jeremy Hunt, but suspect you could be right. Time for a general election. Not sure I'll bother voting this time.

Seems they can just force out multiple PMs these days by making a massive fuss in the media. She obviously wasn't supposed to win the leadership contest.
I wonder which WEF globalist stooge we'll have installed instead, voted for by absolutely no one at all.
