    Can you imagine the coverage this would get if it was a suspected Russian strike in Syria? British licence payers are being severely short changed by the BBC when it comes to impartiality.

    Is this some story that shows that the chemical attack was fabricated or a story about something else for you to whatabout?

    the link you posted was just to the middle east section of the BBC. the top story there was about the rebuilding of the mosque in mosul. i thought that was what you are referring to. I hadn't noticed the link in the previous story. However that is also on the BBC middle east page it hasnt been buried.

    Remind us how that happened

    How people died in the Central America wars of the 60's, 70's & 80's? Well they were either bombed or shot to death.

    Funny you should say that.

    It turns out that the "exposé" was filmed at a military building in Damascus.

    Yeah. And how many died in the trenches in Belgium? And what about the crusades? And what about that meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs?

    America is definitely to blame for that. The crater is on the American continent.

    Just had to post this and out after this. Englishman was harassed by certain people online of being a Russian bot on Twitter and Sky News made the mistake of bringing him on to attack him. They got annilated with truth bombs, amazing watch, and futher proof how stupid these puppets are.

    Frightening, they almost lament that they can't shut his twitter down just for daring to question the british government. Especially sinister is the government scrolling through his twitter trying to discredit him over unrelated ****... unbelievable

    There's very little to differentiate between an IRA shill who retweets Russian propaganda and a useful idiot who retweets Russian propaganda. He came up as a false positive and if you look at his timeline, you'll see why.

    In any case, one false positive doesn't prove whatever point it was that you were making.

    He explained this as nothing more than a turn of phrase-as in,"he gets my vote" or "he gets the nod from me".

    When dissent becomes a subversive act & has one labelled an enemy.

    Orwellian stuff
    Dark times for Britain.

    Actually going back to the Airstrikes inside Syria lavrov made big claims about shooting down the majority of the missles fired as did the assad regime .but neither offered any evidence to back up the claims no photos or videos,debris

    The Americans came out and said yes the regime fired 2 missles after all 105 cruise and air to ground missles had all hit their designated targets .

    Looks like lavrov got caught again and the Syrians shot into the night sky to make it look like they did something.

    Wow, that's some hyperbole over the TV equivalent of the daily mail having a crank on a show. You'd swear Sky news was a government controlled broadcaster like Sputnik or RT.

    In fairness,we really haven't seen much evidence from the American regime of the damage done by 100+ missiles

    Does Leo's partner clean toilets in intel? Has he also done well out of BAE shares, courtesy of deals his partner has done with the Saudi Government?

    no idea, maybe.

    What does this have to do with the discussion? Has Philip May done well out of BAE shares? He is a small cog in a huge wheel that owns a massive 8% of BAE shares.

    maybe they should invest in a company making tin foil hats?

    The large wheel won't turn without the small cog! Would it not be a conflict of interest,especially where international politics are concerned?

    If every Prime minister/President or whatever couldn't make decisions because of some very very tenuous links their spouse had to a company that is very tenuously connected to that decision, we would either have a complete breakdown of a governments ability to do anything, or a complete ban on premier's spouses being able to lead normal lives.

    This really is tin foil stuff

    Fair play to the SKY reporter Alistair Bunkall who somehow managed to keep a straight face when he asked: " ... might you be part of a propaganda machine? .. " :D
    There's very little to differentiate between an IRA shill
    The IRA? Don't you mean "rebels" or "opposition"?
    So does the person that cleans the toilets at Intel
    Someone on a minimum wage is part of the arms industry? Do explain or maybe some the 6 posters who thanked this might?

    Not really action was taken first and foremost not a debate that would roll on for weeks .
    Assad and putin are solely responsible for the attacks ,
    Bar the nonsense about shooting down most of the missles ,they have gone very quite this week must be trying to figure which story they put out is the latest truth

    Please God, to have a secular, peaceful non-religious Syria. Oh right, thats what we had up to 2011 until the "colour" revolutions tried to impose the head-choppers on it.

    Freedom and democracy, **** yeah!

    God Bless Putin.

    Really Yellow Mountain,

    In a vacuum, is it better to have some oxygen than none?

    What is your aspirational nation state? Considering the neighbourhood.

    And what would you replace Syria with? Saudi?

    Syria is the last bastion of an even moderately secular state in the Fertile Crescent.

    God Bless Putin and Assad, saving us from the Washington and Wall Street "Bankers". If only we'd wake up and realise it.
