Did anyone see the story on Sky News last week where they met a bunch of Romanian arms dealers that were happy to sell weapons to terrorists?

Well it turns out it was all bullshit..

The men were tracked down and picked up by the Romanian national unit for organised crime and terrorism (DIICOT) along with their legally owned hunting weapons. The "gang leader" who is actually a Vodafone accounts manager, admitted that they were paid 2,000 Euros by Stuart Ramsey of Sky News who told them what to say, how to act, and provided them with equipment such as bullet proof vests and balaclavas. Romanian investigators have confirmed that the whole thing was set up by Sky and ruled out any possibility of misunderstanding.

Stuart Ramsey has been placed under official investigation by Romanian authorities.

Romanian Ambassador to the UK is to contact British authorities and OFCOM, requesting a formal inquiry in to Sky News.

What a fucking shitshow..

Here is the story on a Romanian news site: www.digi24.ro/Stiri/Digi24/Actualitate/Justitie/Romanii+din+reportajul+Sky+News+ridicati

Have admit I was suspicious it did not ring right. The weapons were wrong, the ease of contact, it just felt wrong.

That is not to say that you cannot go to Romania and buy weapons as you can in several east European countries.

I do wonder how many of these so called investigative reports get a sniff at a story and then mock it up for the cameras.

Is Sky one of Rupert Murdoch's companies?

There was a court case in Florida back in 2003 wherein FOX News, Murdoch's premier right-wing hate propaganda outlet here, was sued for disseminating false information. FOX won the case. Their defense was that the FCC's news distortion policy is not a "law, rule, or regulation", and that they are under no obligation to report the truth.

Rupert Murdoch and Joseph Goebbels were cut from the same cloth.

I have been to Romania and it was an OK experience. I found Romanians to be nice, friendly & polite and helpful.
NOT Romanian gippoes who are a bunch of... (deleted, as children who are interested in canals and boats, are reading this site).
The journalist, if lying, should be tracked down and beaten to a pulp with a very blunt instrument. Or forced to visit haulier-p for an in-depth discussion of some more old bollox he's found in some fucking newspaper.

Quiet minds cannot be perplexed or frightened
but go on in fortune or misfortune at their own private pace,
like a clock during a thunderstorm.

I hope that I never become famous and someone trawls my contributions on this site looking for the odd post which may be offensive.

Force them to pluralise words by putting apostrophes in, then everyone will mock them as imbeciles!
