And on Radio 4 news the BBC says it complies with all laws and regulations in countries in which it operates. Phew, that’s ok then. I’m sure that’ll convince the Russian investigators to shut up shop and go home… ---

As we plough right on into 2019 there appear to be a few loose ends to tie up from 2018. Where are the Skripals? Does Julia still want to go home to Russia? Where is all the footage of the Gatwick drone? Still no evidence of Trump/Russia collusion? Are the White Helmets helping to rebuild Syria? Is it all quiet in Yemen? Why has the Guardian printed no retraction/evidence of its Assange claims? Are we still paying for the Integrity Initiative? Still lets crack on with the new year anyway. Where are the Seaborne ferries? ---

Probably dead, so cremated or 6’ under. > [@Goatboy](#): > > Does Julia still want to go home to Russia? No. Dead people don’t want to go anywhere. > [@Goatboy](#): > > Where is all the footage of the Gatwick drone? Police/army/SS drones maybe, but that’s embarrassing, so no pictures. There wasn’t any other drones. > [@Goatboy](#): > > Still no evidence of Trump/Russia collusion? You’re not giving Mueller enough time. Another few years and everyone would have forgotten about it and he can slink off once a chosen one is in office. It can happen no other way, as literally the whole world has known from the start that it’s bullshit. > [@Goatboy](#): > > Are the White Helmets helping to rebuild Syria? No, not unless we’re going to fly them all back over there. That’s Gatwick down for another 3 days then. > [@Goatboy](#): > > Why has the Guardian printed no retraction/evidence of its Assange claims? Hahaha, you’ll be lucky. Hardings still being published by them. That’s how much they respect their audience. You know, “fucking idiots will believe anything” and they put up another Harding piece within a couple of weeks to prove it. > [@Goatboy](#): > > Are we still paying for the Integrity Initiative? Yes and dozens of others just like them(coincidentally you’ll find guardian journalists on the payroll). > [@Goatboy](#): > > Where are the Seaborne ferries?
