WW3 -All Russia / Ukraine stuff here please-

...
Regarding the BBC; they are constantly making repetitive sensational comments that are designed to promote bad news. They hardly ever report any good news even though there is much of it available. The sooner the licence fee is scrapped and they go subscription the better, even better than that their news is hived off as they do produce some good drama programmes.
Don't watch it then! You might not need to pay the license fee! Though if you watch their drama programs, you will.
 
I have watched the One Show, it's better but what I would prefer is a news channel that just reported the news without opinion. I am quite capable of forming my own opinions.
I very much doubt that you are going to find one of those! I'm of the same mind as you wrt 'just the news and I'll form my own opinion' btw, though I might not end up with the same one as you do. I happen to think BBC does as good a job, if not better, as any of them in that regard (or at least being somewhere near 'balanced'). The 'problem' I see that BBC has is that, by its Charter, it's required to give coverage to groups, sides or issues that likely don't actually 'deserve' it! So the problem isn't the Beeb's, but the Rules under which The Beeb runs! Those rules do have benefits though - perhaps ironically - for precisely the same reason!
 
What the papers say about the missile strike…


Express. Harry and Meghan unaware of the blast as they stroll in a California park.

Star. Missile was aimed at London. Millions will die with the next one.

Mail. Contestants in the jungle in horror over bomb but today's trial by bear poo goes ahead.

Guardian. Bomb was fired by the Consevatives.

Scottish Herald. Would never have happened if Scotland was independent.

Independent. The blast proves we need to take in more asylum seekers.

Sun. Putin's mistress in saucy underwear tells us how the 'Phwoar' is going.

If Russia hadn't invaded an independent free country then there wouldn't be a need for Ukraine to fire defensive missiles so this wouldn't have happened. Russia are to blame.
Seems like something out of a Fawlty Towers skit! But certainly, if Russia hadn't fired missiles at Ukraine, the defensive action wouldn't have been needed.

Have I suggested you should hold the same opinion as me ?
 
Obviously mechanical problems were to blame…………….the missiles were a non contributing factor.🙄

Nobody with an ounce of common sense will be surprised by this , it will be interesting to see the reaction of the remaining Wagner Mercenaries
Yes but how many innocent people died just to get one man.?
