‘Joe Biden on Thursday warned the risk of nuclear “Armageddon” was at its highest level since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, as Russia hinted at the possibility of using tactical nuclear weapons after suffering major setbacks in its invasion of Ukraine.’
Now whether you agree with it or not, the reason we are at this point is because the USA are using their full might to provide Ukraine with real-time intelligence data from satellite and stealth reconnaisance aircraft as well as the very latest in technology to hit those targets with precision from long ranges.
We are on the brink of World War 3 because the USA are interfering in global affairs for political reasons.
They are gambling that Putin will be removed before he fires any missiles. Biden said already in one of his many, many gaffs that the USA are seeking regime change in Russia.
I don’t know about you, but given Ukraine is roughly Russia by a different name, I don’t think it is worth WW3. But due to the state of our media, I doubt 10% of the USA and UK even realise what is going on.
JohnC – be positive – at least nuclear war would get us the ‘net zero ‘ on target ….
I wonder what’s top of the target list here ?
London.
That’s two reasons ‘for’
JohnC
We are being sold some narrative about the Russians losing and putin now being hitler in the last days in the bunker – ready to take the world down with him .
Maybe it’s true – maybe it is not .
Then there is the line thar if putin is replaced the new leader would be even more ‘extreme ‘ and that all the nice guys fell out of windows …
But let’s face it – Russia will never be our ‘friend ‘ they only respect strength – and see the west as a weak direct less mess which can be challenged .
Gonna be a long winter – or there won’t be one …
BBC social media….
“Things are going so badly on the battlefield that Mr Putin is now reframing the invasion, writes the BBC’s Sarah Rainsford.”
Saz once shared a bunker with JezBo and a Tequila Sunrise with Clive in a hotel bar… in full body armour.
True story.
Saz is new to me.
In the comments:
“So great when the BBC knows about Putin’s dreams. This journalist was a former COVID specialist, now a specialist in russian history”
Needs verifying. Appears from the Springster School of expertise.
Time for the BBC to get Zuckerberg blocking again?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Rainsford
I am not a Putin fan. But serving up ‘analysis’ from such a track record hack is very bbc.
I’ve read in several places that there are Russians in the line to take over from Putin who are far more extreme. They want to declare war and fully mobilise.
It’s Iraq all over again. The USA are trying to remove a leader thinking they can put someone nice in there. It has never, ever worked. The result is absolute disaster. They have learned absolutely nothing from Vietnam, Korea, Iraq etc etc.
It’s 100 times worse because the current POTU is a senile, nasty old pervert who can’t even string a sentence together. The BBC and the MSM in general are fully complicit in whatever happens next.
Lots of Ukranian flags kicking around. Put some on the log burner.

Can we change their mind to Leicester ?
Better slap on the factor 50 – is there always the sound of a count down before a nuclear attack ?
45 minutes. Sources close to Alistair Campbell in a W1A green room say.
The trouble with the whole bbc account holding thing is that when you use idiots by remote, one way, as cover for propaganda, it ceases to be credible.
Were actual journalists on the ground looking a bit more broadly than JezBo at his camerman.
And perhaps ‘investigating’ all sides there, now, with the same commitment and rigour they simply accept transcripts from decades ago, secure that ECU will wave it through.
In what way is Ukraine ‘Russia by a different name’ except by invasion?
Would you feel the same if Russia invaded the Baltic States or Finland?
This is from a report by Harvard Ukranian Studies from 2015:
‘For most Russians, Ukraine continued to remain de facto as Little Russia—that is, a part of the triune Orthodox Russian nation, alongside “Great Russia” and “White Russia” (Belorussia or Belarus). That is why ethnic Ukrainians were considered to be “second among equals” next to ethnic Russians in the unofficial hierarchy of the Soviet peoples.’
‘In 2011 more than 54 percent thought it would be better for the Soviet Union to have been preserved.’
Can you say that about Finland or the Baltic states Alf ?.
You should read up a bit more before posting comments like that. You seem to have swallowed the BBC/MSM propaganda without question.
JohnC
With respect, I think it is you who should read up a bit more.
The fact that in 2015 ‘Russians’ thought Ukraine should remain part of Russia is hardly relevant today. Note also that in February this year the Institute you quote condemned the invasion and gave their support to the Ukrainians.
The West should have stood up to Putin when he invaded Crimea. To back off now would encourage him to go further.
In your no doubt extensive reading, have you come across the word ‘anschluss’?
You asked why I think Ukraine is similar to Russia Alf and why Ukraine is different to Finland and I told you. I deliberately gave the figure of what the Ukranians thought, not what Russians thought.
My point is that Ukraine is not worth WW3. You should read up a bit more on what started this – the prospect of EU and NATO bases in Ukraine.
You have made the classic error of those whipped up by the media : if you are not pro-Ukraine, you must be pro-Putin. Some people are neither. We think the invasion is a terrible thing but can understand why Putin would consider a NATO country as big as Ukraine right up against the border and so close to Moscow to be such a threat. This conflict actually shows that NATO is a lot more than just a defensive organisation when politics get involved.
Not sure why you mention the Anschluss as a counter-argument. It’s not similar in any way. There were no other threats to Germany.
In fact I’ve read reports of people claiming the EU want Ukraine as their own ‘lebensraum’ as many countries in the EU are overpopulated. Now that’s something to think about : Germany at it again ?.
Have you wondered why there is absolutely no attempt to stop this conflict and no mention of that in our media ?. This is much more than Russia trying their own ‘anschluss’, it’s all about the new world order coming up where China is a major player.

People aged 16 to 26 are least likely to identify as straight, the study by LGBT charity Stonewall found.
More people identify as bisexual than gay or lesbian… study suggests.

Stonewall is, of course, a key supplier of studies that suggest bbc stories.
Doc Shaw seems chipper.
Doc Helen seems chipper too.
A 23-year-old woman who is taking legal action against an NHS gender clinic says she should have been challenged more by medical staff over her decision to transition to a male as a teenager. A judge gave the go-ahead for a full hearing of the case against the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust.1 Mar 2020
Unfortunately she is a real doctor. She has however been subject to General Medical Council investigation and was suspended earlier this year but is back practising. Her husband was stuck off the medical register for prescribing these drugs however.
A teenage girl – 14 – called Molly `Russell committed suicide a few years ago – the inquest last week found that use of self harm internet sites contributed to her actions .
Her dad has channeled his grief into regulating the internet . Obviously the BBC loves this idea – it’s another way of ending ‘non approved ‘ views .
There is a Bill in parliament . Please let it fail . As usual the blue Labour Party act like restrictors on freedom .
The way things are in this country – no wonder more kids mill themselves – they are being pressured into not being kids – eg being sexualised at a young age by various evil perverts with their own agenda …
And various forms of bbc project fear can’t help much either
I think parents are not coming down hard enough on their kids ! It was drummed into me about stranger danger, and had I mentioned wanting to change gender, my Yorkshire parents would have said “don’t talk so bleedin’ daft”. That usually worked for me.

Meanwhile meeshal does Scotland – hospitals failing – long waits for ambulances – please die without calling the NHS to upset the stats ….

No troll activity – Thursday night – must do better …
Your heavily loaded with meaning word of the day is “defies” and good sense is lost in the long grass
The corporate advertising freebie Metro wins top spot again in the BBC’s online press review. It’s becoming a habit.
Unfair competition! As the socialistic £2.50 Guardian, or £1.10 Mirror, might complain. Let me explain. It’s all about providing the boys and girls over there at the BBC with a snappy concise – yet not too obviously tabloidy – catchy lefty-leaning, anti-Tory, crisis-looming headline. Got it?
Newspaper headlines: UK warned of blackouts in ‘winter of disconnect’ – says today’s BBC headline of the headlines.
And this is how the Metro won it with their stark alarmist, yet somewhat cleverly punning screamer: A winter of disconnect
The ponderous legacy Tory Telegraph, £2.80, comes in as BBC runner up with a safe, non-confrontational (with the left) headline that should scare Truss and please Starmer no end: UK warned it could face winter blackouts
Any considered analysis of how we have gotten ourselves into this mess is lost in the depths of the small print within the long grass of the dense column inches.
The ruling Green blob will clearly brook no argument pointing toward their responsibilty: UK defies climate warnings with new oil and gas licences (BBC) – “defies” no less.
This may well be our oncoming winter of disconnect but the Metro cheefully makes glorious this son of Wales: Heir of the dog, Wills? Raising the bar: Prince and Princess of Wales go head to head as they make cocktails
Is that a Kir Royale, Kate? Asks HM The Daily Express, £1.10, as the Royal couple’s happy honeymoon breakfast with the press continues.
Great shakes. The Princess of Wales was narrowly beaten by her husband in a race to make a cocktail at a Belfast bar yesterday (Times) – happily, it wasn’t of the Molotov variety…
Encounter: Kate smiles as woman in crowd says, ‘Nice to meet you but Ireland belongs to the Irish’ (Daily Mail)
One suspects one would find one’s self banged up by the authorities if one were to venture down to Dover and dare utter a similar sentiment to a Channel migrant – ‘Nice to meet you but England belongs to the English‘
Entent Cordiale would make a great name for a cocktail. A dash of Leavers’ Brexit Bitters – an all too familiar media flavouring – and cross-Channel relations on the rocks.
Entente Cordiale Truss and Macron agree to stop illegal crossings (Express) – the French do tend to say that sort of thing, about this time of year, come the winter months and rough seas.
The mention of cocktails at this time of the morning reminds me of a fine vintage comedy moment from a movie – when comedy movies were sometimes referred to as mapcap.
Here’s one for the teenagers…
Jim Backus, the bumbling voice behind near-sighted cartoon character Mr Magoo appeared in the flesh as a dipsomaniac pilot in the 1963 comedic star-studded picture It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.
Holidaying companions, driving a dinky little red convertible VW Beetle, Micky Rooney and Buddy Hackett (don’t ask… they’d definitely be in a totally out and proud gay relationship in any present day Hollywood remake) are desperate to hire a private plane and only the severely hung over Jim Backus is available at the aerodrome. Slightly sobered up they are soon airborn as Backus, keen to ressume his drinking, leaves Buddy Hackett at the controls of the aircraft whilst he departs his pilot’s seat to go to the onboard cocktail cabinet (just press the button marked “Booze“) to make himself another old fashioned – the way his old dad used to make them. “What if something happens?” bleats the worried Hackett “What can happen to an old fashioned?” is the reply from the none too reassurring Backus.
Apparently our cocktail shaking photogenic Kate and her hubby can’t put a foot wrong. Even the left-leaning papers have high hopes of the couple: The Political Prince. William set to speak out like his father (‘i’)
Of course there’s inevitably politics involved in every Royal visit and the Royals are the best diplomats we have: The Northern Ireland Protocol is a “little too strict” Ireland’s deputy prime minister has admitted, amid hopes of a new deal with the EU (Telegraph)
The BBC and Guardian go with a right royal couple – the prodigal prince and the old queen: Elton John and Prince Harry sue Daily Mail publisher over ‘privacy breach’
There’s a strong alliance and mutual affinity there – not England and France – betwixt BBC & Guardian I mean: From Bowie to Kate Bush. Who made the greatest ever BBC session? (Guardian)
I’ve a pitch for a new BBC show to eclipse the played out Desert Island Discs – in my idea for a show BBC presenters are asked “What was your favourite ever Guardian headline?”
The Gruan puts in a strong contender for BBC-love this morning: Rolling power cuts put lives at risk, charities tell National Grid – although it’s nowhere near as catchy as the giveaway Metro’s effort and to keep putting the Gruan top of the charts would be… a giveaway.
The left-leaning ‘i’ newspaper is a rich source…
Jake Bugg on wealth – you can be rich and kind (‘i’)
Echoing somewhat the sentiment of our Labour-supporting Gary Neville: Gary Neville blasts ‘immoral’ tax cuts for rich ahead of conference speech (Liverpool Echo); Gary Neville challenges politicians on inequalities on behalf of Greater Manchester – and despite being well-off, he is proving to put principles and people before his own financial gain (ilovemanchester.com)
On the other hand: WELL I NEV-ER Man Utd legend Gary Neville confirms he will work as pundit for ITV and beIN Sports at Qatar World Cup… The Manchester United legend has vowed to highlight human rights issues while working for Qatari-owned beIN. (Sun)
Customers with smart meters will be paid to switch off appliances (‘i’) – so now we know… and remember, folks – it’s not a conspiracy if it’s true.
Should you get a smart thermostat? – asks the Times. I’ll pass on that, thanks.
Exclusive. Women selling sex as a second job to cope with cost of living crisis (‘i’)
Sex sells papers. Just check out the Daily Mail: From Autoromantic to Zygosexual, the baffling A to Z of modern sexuality
Poor old Joe Biden, he used to be just a bit of an autoromantic (if you get my meaning) now he comes over as a drunken dodering accident prone old geriatric geezer – without the comic charm of a Mr Magoo.
Maybe it’s just the people he has around him – or something they’re smoking?
Biden issues federal pardons for ‘simple possession’ of marijuana (BBC) – legalise it, we’ll advertise it.
Asiseeit – thanks as always – but but – what about the most important story ?
Who is the male bbc hetero? Star who impregnated a stripper and gave a NDA as well ?
Male hetero on the BBC must limit the field somewhat . I was trying to think who has a catch phrase ? Does linaker have one ?
“Star who impregnated a stripper and gave a NDA as well”
She was surely just working her second job to cope with the cost of living crisis – and he ought to have taken legal advice before issuing his DNA
There’s something to be said for remaining autoromantic
I stumbled upon the, in my opinion, best summary by a professional, on the current Covid Bivalent vaccine and other aspects. Very interesting. Enthralling for me. Even at just over 1 hour, it is well worth a watch.
One ‘takeaway’ : The CDC has dropped the expression – ‘pregnant women’ for, ‘pregnant people’. What trust can the regular person have for an outfit that follows that woke principle?
It should be pointed out that Dr. Offit is on the “FDA advisory committee” who totally missed the harms in the original “vaccines”, he is a total convert. (he admits this membership and is proud of it at ~10.45).
TOADY Watch #1 – er, hang on a moment Steve …. . .
Steve Rosenberg is in St Petersburg today to celebrate Valdimir – Valdimir, Voldemir, Schmoldermir Putin’s 70th Birthday. You know that climate change and global warming thing? It doesn’t matter if you are a Beeboid. CO2 saving is for the little people like us, not for big people like the BBC and their Beeboids.
Steve was trying to make the ‘cannon fodder’ point of ‘der Vaterlandt’ outside the hospital where ‘Vlad the Bad’ was born which now bears a big sign saying something like ‘Serving the Fatherland’. I always thought it was ‘Mother Russia’ though, Steve, are you sure you have got that right?
Damn missed it – off switch was hit at the prospect of crankie …
‘ey, Jimmie! I listened. It was like being hit over the head for a year with one of Spike Milligan’s socks full of cold custard although in the case of the FM maybe we had better substitute cold porage for the custard.

TOADY Watch #2 – what is wrong with the BBC’s regional correspondents?
The BBC is a vast organisation funded from the compulsory TellyTax. Someone on this web-site was suggesting that the head count at the BBC has reached 23,000 despite a continual departure of so-called ‘talent’ from the BBC in recent days. It is rather strange then, bearing in mind the BBC’s total obsession with Global Warming and Climate Change all being caused by CO2 emissions in the UK that they send Mishal Husain from London to Aberdeen when there is a perfectly good BBC Correspondent already in Aberdeen.
Is it that Nicola Sturgeon is too high and mighty to be interviewed by a mere Correspondent? They might have done a better job than Mishal who was struggling to edge a word in getways amidst the torrent of verbose verbiage and verbage (diarrhea?) that poured from the FM.
The National Health Service (NHS) is one of the largest employers in the world, and is the biggest in Europe, with over 1.3 million staff. For the NHS a typical day includes: over 835,000 people visiting their GP practice or practice nurse. almost 50,000 people visiting accident and emergency departments.
The NHS share remarkable similarities to the BBC,
A monolithic entity that desires constant growth.
Massively over staffed by substantially left wing people.
A top heavy upper echelon tier who are hideously over rewarded and out of scale with the numbers required to do the job.
Many expensive non-job staff who are there purely for political purposes.
Paid for entirely from Joe Public by force.
A divine right to be right on every issue without argument.
A “Saint” complex always claiming the moral high ground.
I can think of many more parallels but I’m sure you have your own additions.
Little wonder that the BBC can always find an NHS mouth to use when needed to pour scorn on a Government that they both hate!
The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) is the national broadcaster of the United Kingdom. Headquartered at Broadcasting House in London, it is the world’s oldest national broadcaster, and the largest broadcaster in the world by number of employees, employing over 22,000 staff in total, of whom approximately 19,000 are in public-sector broadcasting.[1][3][4][5][6]
The BBC is established under a royal charter[7] and operates under its agreement with the secretary of state for digital, culture, media and sport.[8] Its work is funded principally by an annual television licence fee[9] which is charged to all British households, companies, and organisations using any type of equipment to receive or record live television broadcasts and iPlayer catch-up.[10] The fee is set by the British Government, agreed by Parliament,[11] and is used to fund the BBC’s radio, TV, and online services covering the nations and regions of the UK. Since 1 April 2014, it has also funded the BBC World Service (launched in 1932 as the BBC Empire Service), which broadcasts in 28 languages and provides comprehensive TV, radio, and online services in Arabic and Persian.

It’s BBC policy.
When interviewing the SNP, Labour, Lib Dem, Green, the impartial BBC ask questions and listen to the answers with minimal or no challenge giving the politicians free rein to present what is virtually a Party Political Broadcast,

Tucjer Carlson s recent piece on the Nordstream pipeline provides a case study on the US media. The approved view is ‘the US didn’t do it – putin did “ comments by Obama Biden clearly saying the US will destroy it – are ignored – celebration by blinken – sec state – are ignored .

…” the second largest shareholder holds about 4.9% of the shares outstanding, followed by an ownership of 2.6% by the third-largest shareholder.
A deeper look at our ownership data shows that the top 25 shareholders collectively hold less than half of the register, suggesting a large group of small holders where no single shareholder has a majority.”

‘Based in Hong Kong’ should say it all. I guess you know that all chinese companies are legally obliged to pass info on to the chinese Government if called upon to do so? This was the argument against Huawei despite their denial. And with their appetite for info on anybody Worldwide…………….

Its just a case of bridging mental gaps
Just sayin.
I am always open to proper evidence
rather than mentally “bridging the gaps”
“2+2=5 thinking” is what we get from libmob activists
That is, mental gaps in knowledge.
Don’t get me going again. Why attack me when you cannot do a 2 = 2 = 4? Here, let me help out with the obvious:
Chinese owned company in operating telecoms in the UK;
Masters in the CCP may demand the company hand over information on customers. With a legal right to do so;
Company owners based in Hong Kong;
Hong Kong is in China.
There happy now?
That’s a POSSIBLE just like a UK company might hand over Chinese customers’ data to UK government
You haven’t shown that actually HAS happened.
A woke UK or US company could POSSIBLY do the same malicious stuff you accuse “the Chinese” of.
Opec hikes oil prices meaning the cost of everything is going up and Putin’s coffers get a boost…but it’s barely a story in the BBC…you really have to hunt for the story and even then it’s very low-key and basically…oh….Opec have raised prices….well..er…let’s move on…..even though it admits this is…
‘a huge blow for the White House. ‘
Never mind a huge blow for our finances in a ‘cost of living crisis’.
Now you might think all that would be on the frontpage for days….but it’s relegated to, hidden away in, the BBC Business backwater where they think no-one looks.
Could that be because it is a huge Biden failure? And two, could it be that they don’t want to make a song and dance about Opec raising prices because they want to blame it on the Tories when prices go up here?
The BBC did after all avoid mentioning the huge support the government budget gave to consumers on energy costs whilst instead concentrating on a relatively minor part of the budget…the tax cuts which the BBC portrayed as just being ‘for the rich’. The BBC played its part in whipping up the fear and hysteria about this and the subsequent market response which was politically driven in many respects….the IMF in particular. James Cleverly was quite right to suggest the media tipped the balance with slanted and biased reporting.
‘Unfunded’ tax cuts? But what about the massive ‘unfunded’ energy bailout? Apparently that was OK. Or the ‘unfunded’ public services that the BBC demands the government finds the money for day-in dayout? Always interested to know where the BBC thinks the money would come from for all these services they insist are crucial and need paying for….unfunded anyone?
A cynic might suspect some motive other than journalism.

‘Bravely, Deloitte also acknowledges that consumers are repelled by the sanctimony surrounding vegan meat substitutes: they’re “regarded as woke”, the analysts find. And we’re also seeing a strong re-assertion of the health benefits of the real thing, which is rich in nutrients such as vitamins and iron.’
Hmmmmm….but then there’s the BBC with its slightly unbalanced promotion of veganism…all three speakers are pro-vegan….and it will save the planet….the BBC asks ‘Is a plant-based diet healthier?’….we all know the BBC’s answer….
‘In recent years our supermarket shelves have undergone a transformation. Sections once devoted solely to meat and animal products have been partitioned to include a new plant-based category, with everything from spins on classics like tofu and seitan, to modern products like Quorn and the lab-designed Impossible and Beyond burgers.
In this episode of All Consuming, Charlotte Williams gives you something to chew on in a surprisingly meaty topic – examining the plant-based product revolution and its potential environmental benefits, and finding out if “vegan” is a dirty word.
Charlotte meets author and entrepreneur Thomasina Miers to discuss dialling back on our high-carbon diets, checks in with vegan-accredited farmer Laurence Candy, learns about the health and environmental benefits of plant-based alternatives from Dr Chris Bryant, and breaks bread with vegan YouTube superstar Gaz Oakley.’
No idea that veganism or vegetarianism isn’t as popular as the BBC would like to suggest….from the Telegraph…
‘“The addressable market may be more limited than many thought,” Deloitte concluded in a report published last week.
The share price of vegan venture capitalist darling Beyond Meat has crashed from $234 to under $15. McDonalds will no longer sell Beyond’s “McPlant” burger in the US. Only 6pc of UK households try a plant-based meat product, while 91pc cook a meal based on fresh meat at least once a week. Rather like the “shy Conservatives” who tell pollsters one thing and vote differently, “shy carnivores” were merely telling the marketeers what they wanted to hear.

11am BBC Radio4 “Net Zero: A Very British Problem”
Switched on 11:28 a girl was giving us a lecture “Climate Crisis .. young people ..blah blah ” with brainwashing background music
“In this series, comedian and environmental economist Matt Winning looks at the ways in which unique aspects of British culture have shaped how we generate carbon, how we’ve managed to reduce emissions, and the challenges we now face to eliminate them completely. Travelling around Britain – from terraced houses to the tiniest of crofts, and from golf courses to cement factories – Matt reveals how our energy consumption is bound up with who we are”

The BBC whipping up anti-Semitism again with a lurid headline….
‘Palestinian deaths toll in West Bank hits 100 this year’
But it’s not just the headline of course…the whole report oozes anti-Israel sentiment and victim status for Palestinians.
‘This year is now on course to become the deadliest for Palestinians in the West Bank since 2015. ‘
A slightly emotive line….
‘As human rights groups express mounting alarm, the figures show nearly a fifth of the Palestinians killed were children, the youngest of whom was 14. ‘
‘Children’? Youths….violent and full of hate….throwing stones,knife attacks, petrol bombs and actual bombs at Israelis.
And we have this telling line…
‘We saw the growth of weaponry in Jenin refugee camp, new formations of militants – many still just teenagers – and a rejection of the formal Palestinian leadership viewed as corrupt and unwilling to defend them. ‘
‘Unwilling to defend them’? Defend them against what? Oh…..the Israeli oppressors and war criminals…right! That line justifies and legitimises the Palestinian terror…just as the BBC series, ‘The Honourable Woman’ potrayed the Palestinian terrorists as victims…forced into terrorism by Israeli oppression.
This is a very unbalanced and one-sided report that will undoubtedly feed into the anti-Israel, anti-Semtiic narrative.
Guess we need another Balen Report…or maybe just publish the original…clearly BBC reporters haven’t read it or acted upon it.

Poor old Jeremy Bowen…so upset that the Russians were trolling him that he had to go to Marianna Springer to get advice….and her sage advice was….tell your side….wow…she’s such a winner.
Maybe the Israelis should go to Springer for advice on how to combat the flood of anti-Israeli vitriol and disinformation that stems from the BBC…of course…once under the good Bowen’s control.
@Pug can you comment on the Line Twitter Big Brother inserted into that tweet ?
“Stay informed :This media is presented out of context”
There’s a full 3min45s BBC Youtube video from March 6 2022 labelled as Irpin
..https://youtu.be/dT1_DeXUyU4
The 20s clip of Bowen saying he is underfire while a woman calmly walks by is inserted in the middle
It could be fake it adds nothing to the vid
except to say ‘look at me in danger’
The surrounding footage does make it look like its dangerous for civilians if it was on the same day and same place.
War footage can be deceptive
one street can be under fire, whilst 2 blocks away everything is calm
Even half a city can have pretty normal life.
I myself have led locals down a street full of burning cars, cos I was certain the action had passed (Tunisian police had shot people throwing petrol bombs & rocks at them, but police shooting wasn’t crazy)

What amazes me is the recent polls suggesting a huge Labour lead.
We are talking about Labour, the ruin the country every time we are in power Party are we? Labour has no Policies that I can discern other than giving more money to Unionised workforces and stoking up inflation even further. Starmer I find to be a very dubious person, very careful not to do or say anything improper or controversial.
Look at Beergate he passed through that unscathed. We know that he put pressure on Durham Police by suggesting he would resign if fined. Did we ever see a Police report of the crime.
Has anyone nailed down Starmer’s (lack of) involvement in the Asian sex gangs situation?
My experiences of Lawyers is that they are a bunch of lying toads who are extremely good at manipulating the truth in a credible way. Bliar anyone? Starmer anyone?
Angela Rayner? How thick is she?
Lammy? Defies belief.
Bambos Charalambous Who?

You do wonder though what they have in common with Labour and the bBC.
The left will eat itself
Corbyn has campaigned against Private Finance Initiative (PFI) schemes[11][12] and supported a higher rate of income tax for higher earners.[13] He argues that many well off people are “quite happy to pay more tax to fund better public services or to pay down our debt”, and criticised then-Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne for offering tax cuts for higher rate taxpayers.[14] He opposes the idea that the UK budget deficit should be reduced to meet an “arbitrary deadline”, but also said that Labour would not reintroduce a current budget deficit if budgets were balanced before 2020.[14]
Corbyn also planned to reduce the £93 billion which companies receive in tax relief according to Kevin Farnsworth, a Senior Lecturer in Social Policy at York University.[15][16][17] This amount is made up by several reliefs, including railway and energy subsidies, regional development grants, lower corporation tax for small businesses, relief on investment and government procurement from the private sector.[16]
He has described year-on-year corporation tax cuts for companies with profits over £300,000[18] by current British Governments as a “race to the bottom”.[19] In 1990, Corbyn participated in the tax resistance movement against the Community Charge, also known as the Poll Tax, for which he faced imprisonment.[20] In 2015, Corbyn suggested bringing in a land value tax to help tackle high housing costs,[21][22] and the 2017 Labour manifesto said that a Labour government would consider a land value tax.[23][24]
Corbyn has raised the prospect of devolving income tax rates to English regions, meaning each region could charge a different income tax rate. Corbyn said “We have a tax-raising power in Scotland but not in English regions. I want genuine regional taxation powers [in England]”.[25]
