    “Bloody Hell Noddy, you can’t even get through “Big Ears goes to Toytown.” Never read a link, never made a sensible comment. Others can draw their own opinions.”
    __________________

    I think readers have already drawn their own conclusions about someone who (to take only a selection of his beliefs as stated on this blog):

    – believes that the Bolshevik revolution was fomented and financed by New York Jews

    – believes that the history of the modern world was shaped and guided by the Rothschilds

    – supports the Ribbentrop-Molotov treaty

    – believes that the Katyn massacre were not carried out solely by the NKVD

    – believes that President Hugo Chavez was “given” his cancer by the CIA beaming X rays at him

    – believes that the missing Malaysian airliner was hijacked to Diego Garcia and is being kept there

    – sees “fascists” under every bed and, worse, assumes with out questioning that any individual, entity or state that has anything negative to say about rasPutin is a “fascist”

    – believes that 9/11 never happened or if it did, the Wesr and/or Mossad was responsible

    – believes that the Charly Hebdo and Lee Rigby killings were false flag operation.

    Is it any wonder, against that background, that the ordinary readers of this blog pay no attention to Mr Goss’s views on Ukraine? That even his former followers on here have fallen silent, sometimes expressing dismay. That his supporters have fallen to Macky and perhaps one of two others? That no one bothers to read Mr Goss’s own blog, where he repeats the sort of stuff he posts on here?

    He’s a complete dud.

    Must have had the compilation @ 3.34pm on file. Couldn’t poosibly have typed that without the usual typos! in 13 mins or maybe it was forwarded for onward transmission by head office.

    Charles Crawford Esq. CMG had just returned from a commercial ial visit to that outpost of democracy, Kazakhstan. The government capos fell big time for his speaking and speech writing coaching course. See his Twitter.

    So that you don’t feel left out of it, would you like me to start compiling a list of the bollocks you’ve come out with over the last year or so?

    Good to know you care, RoS.

    But shouldn’t you be worrying more about what the services have on you, RoS?

  • Daniel

    “RT does propaganda, and our corporate media does propaganda too. Here, they marginalise and discredit dissenting voices such as Craig’s; we’ve seen that repeatedly. In Russia, they just kill or imprison them.”

    I would contend, though, that Western mainstream propaganda by the likes of the BBC and Guardian is particularly insidious. You may recall the time when American journalist Abby Martin openly criticised Putin’s annexation of Crimea live on air on RT. She still remains in her job. Could you imagine Jon Snow or Hew Edwards using similarly forthright language by criticising Blair’s invasion and occupation of Iraq? It simply wouldn’t happen.

    Oh I’m sure, the services have far more important matters, to deal with, like yourself, they probably don’t take our opinions seriously, yours especially, they recognise ramblings when they see them.

    Daniel. Abby Martin is giving up her Breaking the Set series on RT. See her statement on her website MediaRoots.org

  • Mark Golding

    Thanks Mary – what a darling Abby is – her emotion, her passion, her rage, joy, warmth and sorrow expose the human psyche as it should. If you cannot feel the pain of others, then life becomes meaningless, futile and worthless; creation or destruction become just axioms of time.

    Daniel, I believe it was Hew Edwards who presented the BBC News overnight coverage of the Scottish referendum; Many viewers remarked on Edwards strange behaviour during the broadcast (theres a YouTube vid of it somewhere);

    I think Edwards realised what was going on

  • John Goss

    This is the kind of thing that worries me with that fat tub of fascist chocolate lard and his so-called defensive weapons. No doubt Resident Dissident and Clark will be pleased that he intends to start WW3. Idiots.

  • Resident Dissident

    “Perhaps his silly quote if true “I am afraid Putin will kill me” was the cause of his death.”

    No the cause of his death was someone shooting him four times – just like the cause of most deaths in the Holodomor was the actions of Stalin, whose actions in this regard and in particular dekulakization you have failed to condemn time and time again and have offered the pathetic excuse of a world famine. If this is acting as an apologist for the actions of Stalin then I don’t know what is – please feel free to report me to the mods and while they are at it they can do something about your pathetic name calling.

  • Resident Dissident

    And of course Mr Goss still fails to provide his views on some of the facts about Putin’s Russia that I outlined last night – he just indulges in another dose of whipping up hate.

  • Daniel

    “Daniel. Abby Martin is giving up her Breaking the Set series on RT. See her statement on her website MediaRoots.org”

    Thanks for the link, Mary. The point I tried to make is that she wasn’t carted off to a Siberian Gulag.

    “Daniel, I believe it was Hew Edwards who presented the BBC News overnight coverage of the Scottish referendum; Many viewers remarked on Edwards strange behaviour during the broadcast (theres a YouTube vid of it somewhere);

    Rob, of course he realized what was going on. I thought the BBCs coverage of the Gaza convoy killings on the open sea was the most overtly biased and distorted I had ever seen of any broadcaster anywhere until I witnessed their appalling coverage of the Scotland independence issue.

  • Resident Dissident

    “But these are volunteers. And there are volunteers on both sides. In fact the reason they get no pension is because they have gone of their own free will to support an anti-fascist cause.”

    Which country allows its active servicemen to go an do a bit of freelancing as mercenaries – and allow them to take a tank, SAM etc with them?

    “I have never supported Stalin, though under his and Lenin’s leadership the Soviet Union moved from being a backward starving union of countries to a superpower by the end of the Second World War.”

    So that makes everything ok then – this is of course the standard line put out by useful idiots and fellow travellers throughout the year – and is now being repeated by sycophants for Putin.

    ________________

    Of course not, Trtowbridge.

    To ask the question is to mistake the function of this blog and the reasons why the hard core of nutters post on it.

    The blog provides a pressure valve for the discontented and the obsessives, who can vent away to their hearts content as a substitute for doing anything more constructive to remedy the ills they claim surround them. The discourse of the disturbed, which would fall on deaf ears and be laughed out of court if uttered in the real world.

    See it as outdoor therapy if you will, exercised before an audience which is happily uncritical becuse suffering from the same afflictions.

    But a therapy which has lost something of its appeal after the arrival of myself, Anon, Resident Dissident and occasional others……

    The stage is set. An IS attack on US forces isn’t far away.

    http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-02-27/islamic-state-completes-takeover-of-town-near-base-used-by-u-s-

    Then the US can move in big time. Do they need to be invited in by, er, the Iraqi Government?

    Meanwhile, to keep the “bad Russia” meme viral, Nemtsov gets offed, just when the Kremlin least need any more adverse PR in the west, not that the corporate media need much of an excuse.

    Which is probably why the Kremlin had nothing to do with it.

    Talking about reporting and similar, well, Mr Goss will have a surprise if he ever attempts to enter into Polish territory again and I think Left Unity should be apprised of his positions on various issues : either they are a genuine Socialist party in the Orwell mode, in which case they will expel him for being a Stalinist or if they are not they will be happy to keep him as a member, thus showing themselves up as something rather alien and unpleasant.

    I don’t think the Mods should be asked to do anything about his language, the deterioration of which over recent weeks has been quite remarkable, leading one to the conclusion that he’s been feeling the heat….

    Nah, your bollocks are good fun. Now that you’ve encouraged me, I think I’ll do a John Goss on you as well. Watch this space!

    Feel free if you have absolutely nothing useful to do with your time. Nobody here will be at all interested – with a couple of exceptions that is.

    @craigmurray.org

    The video you embedded further up this page (showing Craigs recent appearence on Russia Today) keeps causing my feeble computers to crash

    Hurry hurry on to page 11 of comments!

    The lizard creatures who control the universe are trying to keep me trapped on page 10 of comments; Ive stuck tin foil over my walls and windows, but it still doesnt keep out the rays that are trying to suck out my brain cells

    The doors of perception keep slamming shut, and I dont even wear cufflinks or belong to a golf club

    Help!

    RobG,

    Youtube recently changed their default video player in most browsers from flash to html5. Unfortunately the html5 players kill old cpus and make even flash look good. There are addons for various browsers which restore Flash as the default player if you really want to.

  • RobG

    Mary, the ambulance service is now mostly privatised; all done without the consent of the people and with big corporations raking in bucks at the expense of human suffering

    It is disgusting beyond belief

    These people are total vermin

    Those who come on comment threads like this to defend the establishment are either total egits, or else they are tools of the establishment

    Either way, the reckoning is coming
