Epic WTF

last time I refused to leave the side of a spunky half-pint it didn't end well

The first woman they talk to is arrested for holding up a sign saying "Two words" in Russian. The second...

Looks set up, no?

sigh no. But a conspiracy theorist response is very apt.

I'm no conspiracist, I just thought it looked a bit of an odd setup

They're everywhere you look

The Russian journalists aren't also being arrested because they have press passes and are standing in an area marked out for journalists. If you think the woman being instantly arrested for holding up a sign (in a very public square full of security police in a country where protestors have been arrested almost as soon as they stepped outside their front doors and where one woman was recently arrested for holding up a blank sheet of paper) is fake, I have to assume you've been watching no news at all.

If you think the whole scene is faked, I'd ask you to consider how possible it would be right now to have people pretend to be security police in a public space in Russia.

Autocracy often looks farcical from the outside. Doesn't make it a joke.

Chill! Just a passing comment bruv

Instant reactions of "fake" to everything stopped being funny in 2016.

OK

Fake.

Set up by whom, the Russian govt?

Fuck off, how you like them rubles?

Ooph, you implied it looked set up. I asked you who you thought set it up. Sorry to have wasted microseconds of your critical thinking time.

I was watching it, sound off, in the pub. That's it, that's the post 💁

I was watching it, sound off

I can see how that blocked out the subtitles. Would have been a lot easier if you could have heard the Russian speech, obviously.

You can do one too. FFS. I can't ask a simple question? It looks like pro Putin propaganda at first glance...

Well, you definitely posted that in the right thread.

Ha ha ha! Slow day for you yeah? Fuck. Off. 😛👍

Heh. OK, mostly stopped being funny.

I am pretty sure whatever it is, it will win, but still, Ukraine's entry for Eurovision
Ukraine’s pick this year is the Kalush Orchestra, with the rap lullaby “Stefania”

Not sure if posted elsewhere but...

Comments are great for a change.

Looks like he could do with some process improvement on that operation!

Having read up-thread I though in was in the Ukraine thread. Couldn’t really figure out why there was a backyard full of bikes in Ukraine…
