Russia Today was thrown out of the UK because the level of misinformation it peddled was a danger to UK democracy. However, it never called for the overthrow of the UK government. This loathsome creature and his cesspit platform should face an immediate ban.

When I worked in UK academia I recall hearing of a Japanese man who was baffled at how Britain had decided to run its universities like firms. “Why? Your universities are excellent and your firms are terrible.”
To repeat: "A country so stupid it actively trashes one of things it's good at and famous for."
Today's university slashing and burning is Edinburgh, where about 10% of the budget will be cut. There'll be another case every single day until UK govts actually do something. A country so stupid it actively trashes one of things it's good at and famous for.

Trump has talked to Putin and has been given his instructions.
Russia's influence network worked flat-out to get Trump back into power. Putin knew exactly what he was doing, and his investment in Trump and Musk is now paying dividends.

It still blows my mind to this day that Britain could be so unfathomably stupid, the brain drain this has had on Britain due to visa issues is seismic too. A genuine embarrassment & believe me, As a regular traveler to Spain Britain is nothing short of a laughing stock the world over because of it.
