Quote Of The Month

Tim Newman is unusually sceptical:

"Being a journalist in Russia is not especially dangerous. Being a journalist in Russia and writing about things which concern powerful people is incredibly dangerous, bordering on suicidal.

                   Local officials said no suicide note was found but the incident was unlikely to be of a                           criminal nature.

Uh-huh. One minute he’s exposing the clandestine use of Russian mercenaries in Syria, the next he’s just fallen off a balcony. Could happen to anyone."
