This is a bit like the old Cold War days. Soviet ministers summoned to Foreign Office and their British counterparts in Moscow and then a few hours or days later expulsions (not happened yet but give it time) of diplomats by both sides. It is almost like history is trying to repeat itself where one side denies being involved and the other furiously accuses the other of lying when they know they are the culprits.

Once again the Chump kicks out another former good friend, this time Rex Tillerson his Secretary of State -just when Tillerson was about to actually do something useful in his job. Moral of the story is if you're a friend of Donald, don't speak out against him or call him names.

Now we are told there will be no British news outlets allowed in Russia, if the UK bans RT from the islands

This is not important, because the audience of listening to 'The Gnome's speaking tube' (= RT) seems to be in any case of not so much interest.

On the other hand: what is/might be the result of the last days, - the allowing of any British news is one of the lowest trouble, Russia is facing as it seems.

Maybe not. You'd think allowing no news outlets from the biggest country on the planet would mean something. But, possibly not, we'll see

Truth is always the first casualty.

No, I can't take that gnome no more serious, in a same way I can't take a well known Turkish "preservative" ("...they are all terrorist") or an other well known "preservative", being his main characteristic feature "The Toupee" an below a big vacuum....

And therefore - and as it's nominal less known how much of the biggest country are really standing behind this station - it's not important. .

We really do not need RT, we can predict the next few weeks Russian news, Putin winning the election (sic) by a fantastic majority the opposition getting but one vote, how crap the rest of the world is and that is that.

It is impossible to ban it in the UK by the way, there is no legal precedent or right, bit more false information.

Daft is it not? That the British are upset about our citizens being put at risk over Russia's internal affairs. Stupid British!

Spoiler alert!

I was looking forward to the nip and tuck as the votes were counted between Putin and the opposition parties...whichever jail they are in at the moment.
