But hopefully they make their protests and frustrations public to make known why they have been denied their holiday

The video was of Russians not your average Englishman in Spain
 

She knows her stuff, and Russian owned tycoons have been chasing her for years.

Yes it involves Brexit and the 2016 elections, because they're very obviously a part of all this, but if you're still in denial about Russian participation within that, trigger warning.

Do people think Putin is trying to reasemble the Communist Soviet Union or is he just crackers? We really need to know his ultimate motive.

It’s not the Soviet Union. It’s the Tsarist empire he has always wanted

The russian gov are still the majority shareholder in aeroflot iirc so this will hurt them, as will other airlines cutting codeshare ties with them.

It’s funny how not so long ago if someone called out ‘disinformation’ they’d be labelled as a foilhatter. Yet here we are, now having Twitter as a source of credibility.

Fwiw, she’s absolutely bang on imo. What’s more interesting and worrying is those that think the west, in particular the US, haven’t been playing the same disinformation game. There’s also plenty of evidence to show that the US have been destabilising countries for decades but we’re to believe it’s only Russia that does it.

This brings one major problem….who the hell do you believe?🤷🏻‍♂️
 
Here we stand or here we fall
History won't care at all
Make the bed light the light
Lady mercy won't be home tonight yeah

You don't waste no time at all
Don't hear the bell but you answer the call
It comes to you as to us all
We're just waiting
For the Hammer To Fall

Oh ev'ry night and every day
A little piece of you is falling away
But lift your face the western way
Build your muscles as your body decays yeah

Toe your line and play their game yeah
Let the anaesthetic cover it all
Till one day they call your name
You know it's time for the Hammer To Fall

Rich or poor or famous
For your truth it's all the same (oh no oh no)
Lock your door the rain is pouring
Through your window pane (oh no)
Baby now your struggle's all in vain

For we who grew up tall and proud
In the shadow of the mushroom cloud
Convinced our voices can't be heard
We just wanna scream it louder and louder louder

What the hell we fighting for?
Just surrender and it won't hurt at all
You just got time to say your prayers
While your waiting for the hammer to Hammer To Fall
It's gonna fall
Hammer, you know, Hammer To Fall
While you're waiting for the Hammer To Fall

Tbf, I like the blame America slogan, that’s something I can get right behind.

By the way, when you say they should blame themselves, are you talking about the people in the airport, the tannoy announcer or the Russian government?

The tannoy announcer should stop watching Rocky 4 :lol:

Oh grow up. Basically you are saying now is not the time. We have a PM who has been personally enriched by Putin, a party who have stayed in power, in part, due to Russian funding and we have Baron Lebedev, of Hampton in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames and of Siberia in the Russian Federation sitting in the lords.
I don't think it is polarised to point out the above or give honourable mention to the Conservative Friends of Russia "think tank".
It is also reasonable to point out that people who said in 2016 that Putin was publically and secretly backing Trump and Brexit as a means to destabilise the West and that Brexit risked the 70 year peace Europe had enjoyed since 1945 were ridiculed.

Thanks for proving my point so eloquently
