They also said they wanted to go to Stonehenge, but the slush on the streets put them off, even though it's a 3 hour walk and the Stonehenge bus parks outside the train station they used 4 times in two days.

I am surprised they weren't asking about how to go to the library in the middle of the night.

All the CCTV footage is entirely fake and fabricated, and even if it wasn't, it was really muddy that day and our feet hurt.

There were so many contradictory 'explanations' on Russian TV prior to that interview. From the top of my head: - The photos or timestamps on them are fake, the two men weren't in London on those specific dates - The names are all wrong, and Russian citizens with those names don't match the CCTV photos - The people on the photos are actors, and some director recognised them - They are not Russian, and one of them is actually a Ukrainian businessman hiding from creditors

Apparently, he joined some local paramilitary defense force, hence the AK he has on in some modern pictures. I hope he remembers what happened post-injury, like how he survived and became a member of Afghan society, for the book/movie that will come.

Signs telling you there are cameras, also everywhere. Giant billboards showing an aerial view of the area within crosshairs and a slogan to the effect of "we have you in our sights", I think that one was about tracking down people who don't pay the BBC fee for using a TV ! Small placards reminding you to always keep your windows' curtains closed so that burglars can't know if your house is tempting or not. Really dystopian.

Forgot to include the text from the people who posted the new one:quote:At the disposal of the "Project" was a document that indicates the possible involvement in the Russian special services of the second suspect in the poisoning of Sergei and Yulia Skripal - Ruslan Boshirov. This file is from the information system "Russian passport", it was sent to our mail proekt.media@protonmail.com. We'll have more next week.

The security service CCTV watches public spaces because we had 30 years of continuous bombing campaigns and assassinations by terrorists. The vast vast majority of CCTV in the UK is monitoring private business premises and property for the owners of those locations. None of it is allowed to record where there would be an expectation of privacy, which is why you see the signs in public places. And the windows thing is just common sense. Who the gently caress doesn't close their windows when they go out?

Most people don’t, here in Latvia at least - I imagine in other former Soviet republics too. Thing is we all have semi-transparent white mesh inner curtains that block line of sight from outside anyways.

cinci zoo sniper posted:Speaking of better food, EU is passing a regulation that prohibits sale of same product made differently across EU. Good. Companies selling crappy versions of their products in Eastern Europe is frankly insulting, especially with their flimsy excuses like "our EE detergents have more filler because Polish customers use more detergent per wash" (gee, I wonder what the cause and effect relationship is here). The EU cracking down on this bullshit goes a long way to disprove the euroskeptic notion that the Union is just a vehicle for German domination and blah blah, since it's primarily German companies doing it, but I'm sure the right wing media will find a way to just ignore it.

Even sometime that you visit deep in East German land, you can get lovely version instead in local store that you wouldn't in Berlin or rest of Germany. The village where my great Uncle live is like that. And they charge very similar price for that as you pay in Sarrebruck!

They used this footage to show how easy it is to fake footage, inadvertently showing it's not actually that easy to fake footage https://twitter.com/EliotHiggins/status/1041699140789522432 The whole middle section on the supposed fake footage is pretty much entirely stolen from conspiracy websites too.
