    It's not surprising, your judgement has always been catastrophically poor.

    Well I enjoyed the coverage of the #ResignCameron march that didn't seem to get publicity anywhere else.

    It's gotta be better than the Daily TeleGuardianTimesGraph

    ... which are in effect the same propoganda.

    A guillotine would be more fun....

    Or they should simply take a walk in the woods and be found dead.

    Kin 'ell - lol!!

    Think you'll find 'Nasha Russia' is more balanced....

    We live in the most wonderful country in the world, while all other countries are envious of us. We were the first to fly to outer space and we were the first to return. We invented the hydrogen bomb, the Zhiguli automobile, and many other horrifying things. We were the ones who cultivated the virgin lands of Kazakhstan and abandoned Georgian Borjomi mineral water. We were the ones who reversed the flow of rivers and electricity meters. We proudly call our country Rossiya, while envious foreigners call it Russia! But still, it is ours. It is NASHA RUSSIA!
