Isn’t there a saying that it is what they don’t tell you that you should focus on?
For God’s sake! Are londoners going to get rid of this idiot and get a londoner in as mayor? What’s up? Not enough real londoners to do the job? A bit like, not enough Scottish to run Scotland! Not enough irish to run ireland? Not enough English to run England? Not enough patriots to be home secretory?
Come on then, down tickers!!!
I’m fucking sick of this anonymity! DS, stand up to the mark and make them state their cause!
Fed up of Dilly and Dalling around!
You like London? You don’t like London?
I love real londoners,English through and through,salt of the earth!
But state your beef! Don’t just thumbs down from the sidelines!
Oops….!
‘On April 18, the Danish newspaper Dagbladet Information published that the patrol boat P524 Nymfen of the Royal Danish Navy took 112 photos of Russian ships in the sabotage zone of those gas pipelines on September 22, 2022, days before Denmark and Sweden detected leaks in the sections of that gas pipeline that pass through their exclusive economic zones. Let us remember that, according to both countries, the leakls were caused by two explosions that occurred at 0203hrs and 1904hrs CET on Monday, September 26, four days after the presence of that Russian ship in the zone.
26 of those photos were of the SS-750 ship, equipped with a mini-submarine.’

Just saying…….
Poppycock! Why blow up your own pipeline?
Maybe they got wind of an operation and were trying to stop it? They have intelligence too you know!
A former Danish intelligence officer turned analyst, Jacob Kaarsbo, said that the presence of SS-750 in the zone “sheds light on what was going on in the region in the preceding days”.
The confirmation was of particular interest “because we know it is capable of carrying out such an operation”, he said.
Entirely up to you what you choose to believe. Indeed many still believe having six covid jabs is a really good idea.
Takes all sorts….
If you want to find the murderer! Follow the money! Russia has/had no reason to curtail its own finance’s! Its doing nicely thankyou selling its surplus to China! What’s your point? Cut off my nose to spite your face?!
It is simple.
This is Russia’s way of saying to Germany and the EU: ‘You have rejected the firmest form of security open to you: cooperation with Russia. Instead, you have brought NATO and its in-law, the EU, to our borders, you have turned Ukraine into an ‘anti-Russia’, you have rejected our peace proposals, and now you have rejected our gas. So instead of security, you will have war (‘so far hybrid’). Escalate this war, try our patience further, and it no longer will be hybrid’.
The logic behind the destruction of the Nord Stream pipelines is the logic of war.
True, but if you control the tap why rip out the pipe to stop the water?
It’s not about energy supply. It is a simple power play, a demonstration of Russia’s ability to destroy the EUs underwater infrastructure. But it stops short of being a ‘casus belli’. Putin believes that implicit threats, essentially blackmail, works.
After Crimea 2014, why would he have believed anything else?
What is happening now is simply the expensive rebuilding of conventional deterrence in Europe, allowed to lapse by incompetent American, British and European leadership since 1991.
What I choose to believe…America did it…
Washington Post …..Everyone can see there’s a body lying there, but pretends things are normal. “It’s better not to know,” says a diplomat in Europe.
— For all the intrigue around who bombed the Nord Stream pipeline, some Western officials are not so eager to find out who on earth severely damaged the natural gas pipelines last September, reported The Washington Post on Monday.
At gatherings of European and NATO policymakers, officials have settled into a rhythm, said one senior European diplomat: “Don’t talk about Nord Stream,” according to the report.
Leaders see little benefit from digging too deeply and finding an uncomfortable answer, the diplomat said, echoing sentiments of several peers in other countries who said they would rather not have to deal with the possibility that Ukraine or allies were involved.
“Since no country is yet ruled out from having carried out the attack, officials said they were loath to share suspicions that could accidentally anger a friendly government that might have had a hand in bombing Nord Stream,” noted the report.
“It’s like a corpse at a family gathering,” the European diplomat said, reaching for a grim analogy. Everyone can see there’s a body lying there, but pretends things are normal. “It’s better not to know.”
The Guardian…yesterday…..
A Russian navy vessel specialising in submarine operations was photographed near the sabotaged Nord Stream gas pipelines just prior to the mysterious September blasts, according to the Danish daily newspaper Information.
The prosecutor leading Sweden’s investigation into the sabotage confirmed the existence of the hitherto publicly unknown photographs.
“I’m aware of the information from before … This is not new information to us,” Mats Ljungqvist said on Friday….
oops!
Oh dear!
‘Open-source intelligence analyst Oliver Alexander said the SS-750 “could theoretically have been there for other reasons.”
“But the timing of being in that particular place at that particular time is special,” he was quoted as saying.
Citing previous reporting by sources including Alexander and based in part on satellite images, Dagbladet Information said the SS-750 may have been “one of a total of six” Russian naval vessels in the area leading up to the pipeline blast.
Swedish civilian and military intelligence services veteran Joakim von Braun suggested the six vessels were “a group that had been put together for exactly this type of operation.”
The Moscow Times
You do know these photos have been known about all the time? Read my post! They are only new to the public…..
A US plane was seen on the day it happened..flying over the site..cue creepy music…at least 28 ships were in the area around the time it happened…
..as the song says…let it go…let it go….
Read my posts.
They are all about the intelligence assessments.
As I have been saying for some time now, there are only two ‘hot’ protagonists in this conflict.
Take your pick.
But the assessments now are all leaning in a particular direction.
Intelligence assessments? LOL!!
I wonder when we started believing intelligence assessments….WOMDs in Iraq? Libya bombing its own people? Come on, Monro. I’m no expert but I can see the complete lack of sense in blowing up a very expensive and vital part of one’s own infrastructure and I can also see that they’d have known they would be photographed. You can’t move big ships about in the area where the pipeline explosions happened without being noticed. It all sounds very handy to me. From the start, the western media wanted to blame Russia because then they could blame the entire energy crisis on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. I care not a hoot for assessments, we are dealing with an empire of lies here.
I’d suggest that the countries who stand to gain the most are the ones most likely to have committed the crime! Ukraine and the USA! if it looks like a duck and sounds like a duck…
President Joe Biden: 7th Feb 2022:
” If Russia invades Ukraine there will be no longer a need for the Nordstream pipelines, we will bring an end to it, I promise you”
Sounds like a busy area. I wonder if the photos are of the Russian ships with their probably highly sophisticated radar and who in a masterful move based, probably again, on the highest level strategy meeting, knowing they were just about to lay the charges to blow up their own pipeline, carried on regardless of the fact that the Danish ship was above the horizon, unless they used drone cameras, and busy taking photos. It all sounds like something Clouseau would do in the Pink Panther. “They won’t suspect a thing, Vlad. They’ll blame it on the Americans or the Armenians…someone else anyway.” “But we’ll be in plain sight, Dimitri. And we’ll lose our income and it’ll be irreparable for years…” “Trust me, Vlad, I’m a p-p–p-proffeshunal…”
You guys!
Loving the humour!

See the size and capabilities of the submersible SS 750 can deploy?
How could such a capable submarine not spot explosive charges laid on the pipelines……unless it had placed the charges there itself?
Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr will never be a democratic president, he’s too sensible and level headed! and seems to have some kind of respiratory disease,?..Go Hillary! Now there’s the comeback of all time! For such a diverse and equity lot, I don’t see a line of black,ethnic, lgbgtq+ ,trans, and all the other 101 different genders lining up to be leader!? Funny that!
..no, he’s too controversial….and always introduced as an ‘antivaxxer’….which, to my mind is better than being in the Biden/Bush/Clinton crime families, but not in the US media it seems….!
Kennedy has a condition called spasmodic dysphonia, a specific form of an involuntary movement disorder called dystonia that affects only the voice box!
Who knew..you learn something everyday!!
Thanks for that, yes you do learn something everyday! Never heard of that before
“Expert urges masks on public transport amid fears over Arcturus Covid variant”
Expert??
Ex – something that has been.
Spurt – a drip under pressure.
Any statement commencing “expert(s)” is viewed negatively by me from the off. It’s just like advertising, it is so woke I ignore ALL of it.

The poorly concealed attempts by the Biden government to kill millions of Americans. And they haven’t stopped yet.
Actually, very remiss of me not to include the British government in this kill spree.
