Does anyone not see the wood for the trees? 3 Weesk ago Russia announced it was seeking extradition of Russian billionaire mafia tax exiles back to Russia to stand trial for fraud.
Then Alexander Litvinenko who lives in Bopis Berekovsky’s house and is paid wages by the Russian Mafia gets radiation poisoning.
This is obviously a blatant attempt by the Russian Mafia to avoid extradition by killing a person live on TV slowly and using it as an excuse.
What i dont understand is why the Daily Mail is the only UK paper brave enough to be speaking the truth.
Putin is 100% innocent.

41 years is a long time to be in business… too bad.

Danno, book ‘em! Thank you for the link.
Ah, Fleet Street itself is no more, along with all those pecularly-named pubs. Now all pubs are syndicated with only three names like The Owl and the Pussycat…
It’s not so much the ‘death’ of Fleet Street that bothers me, but, rather, how all the juicy life has been squeezed out of our own Press here… in an implicit contrast.
Alas, our Press has largely deteriorated into merely a vehicle for ads with mostly AP material being used as filler between the ads… You know your local paper is in deep doodoo when they frequently telephone you, touting a subscription to their product by telling you that every Sunday paper contains $40-worth of grocery coupons.
Maybe they should rename all of the syndicated chain American newspapers with the same three names as the British newly-syndicated pubs.
