₤1 for Independent: Russian mogul buys 2nd British paper

[2QBUFF]

LMAO..the journalist said i don,t care who buys it as long as i get payed ..Maybe if they had told the British People the truth all those years .It wouldn,t end up being given away like the evening standard or a Bangkok Porno flyer

[Mirpuria]

What? How does that work buying for just a £1??

[ukBattleships]

@Mirpuria The Reason he purchased the Newspaper for a pound was beacuse he would be taking on all the debts.

[jerseyflex238]

it is clear to me someone has no clue about Russian oligarchy clique)

p.s. Land of exile it might be but it's necessary exile( educational since my english ain't good enough _ )

[midnight9wanderer]

...fucking little stupid child talking about who should and shouldn't say what. you've got too little critical thinking ability , as well as too little command of English, to make any reasonable statements on anything of consequence. Now go stew in your spoon fed rhetoric and cliche dumbed down grade school sensibility.

[jerseyflex238]

oh yes now clearly we could see your real face) oh boy it's ugly!))) If you have no clue what are Lebedev or Freedman or Abramovich or Deripaska or Prohorov or Mordashev are like you shouldn't open ur dirty little mouth))) They are Russian they were born, grew and were educated in Russia...they got our soul, Pushkin was Ethiopian pure Russian soul...)))

[midnight9wanderer]

I can get much uglier and you're not so pretty little boy))). I guess the land of their exile then has little to do with it all))) maybe that is so, maybe not. You are very clearly convinced that the 'Russian soul' is the reason for depraved financial dealings and disloyalty))) nice to see you have such a high (realistic?) opinion of your 'souls'))) but then Im sure you would find it to your displeasure to be told that, which you just said)))

does that ")))" help you understand English better?

[jerseyflex238]

Mikhail Freedman would say "such a buck" yeap Freedman he is pure jew, he might have personal problems such as weight control and other but he is Russian 100% by his heart and attachment to Moscow elite) где носилки? смирительная рубашка помогите это дефачке)

[happyness01]

JERSEYFLX23 - so you live in the US but speak of your cultural heritage as if it's the only bound you serve in this lifetime. Is this the general reasoning of all Russian people?! Nationalist?! Could you not see how your viewpoint is racist within itself? How about opening up your internal borders and mingle with people outside your own ethnicity? Gosh, you live in a country made up of every possible ethnicity, it's imperative for you to get on with other ethnicities!

[jerseyflex238]

Ha!- as i stated here before being Russian is not nationality. Not all Russians have Russian soul because Communist Era left large mark, but people that were in Russia read Russian authors such as Tolstoy, have seen the bridge between Europe and Asia between Ying and Yang...I'm no nationalist I don't think my country is better than anyother) Russia is too large to be a country or a nation...it is more than that.

[jerseyflex238]

people that play dirty should die in dirt))) midnight-comment askin' if Lebedev political standings...and his nationality or religion is heavy deed> since your tryin to evoke national rage among weak Russian souls. It is disgrace to human to do such thing.

[midnight9wanderer]

oh please you moron I asked an obvious and relevant question that , if you know anything about Russian political history , even of the last 20 years, would make total sense but of course you believe in willful blindness, so as not to say anything that might offend someone. Go fuck yourself you useless idiot and maybe all your attempt at ingratiating yourself via political correctness will pay off and some oligarch will let you shine their shoes in an airport someday, ROFL. Now go kill yourself

[aSuperbadassninja]

it costs one pound for one of these daily papers? thats like $1.50USD...no wonder this paper is failing its too damn expensive

[eyeswideshuttt]

Russia could use more influence in Britain.

[lancerhammer]

If rupert murdoch can, why not? as long as you have money nowadays, you can buy a chuck of the "free press"

[Nonniemayrox]

britiots

[rimon890816]

hahaha

[seseljsrs]

He paid too much for that rag. But now it has a chance to actually be independent in more than name only.

Still, its very name reminds of so much propaganda in years past, mixed with vague leftist posturing. The rag's greatest "success" lay in pulling the wool over reader's eyes by running a faux "dissident" line managed by mi6 agents, especially on those matters where the Foreign Office's policy was too firmly entrenched to ever change. And so it became an icon of a "democratic" press.

[jetdude101]

bah... he can have it, im tired of of that left wing pro government bullshit

[UKSecretCourts]

I like the independent. Can't wait to see what he does with it.

I would be fabulous if it become a free paper, as I'm sure that would dramatically increase circulation.

It's a good paper for in depth articles, so I just hope that one trait is maintained.

[jerseyflex238]

I just wonder is his son gay, or just realy metrosexual..anyhow I hope peoples of UK will realize that all men are equal, not of nationality or orgin. The respect of other people's sorrow and law...and that will lead to bringing in court Boris Berezovsky THE TERRORIST #1!!!

[eriblood]

I hope he will mention the New World order agenda in his newspapers

[azis1100]

Resistance is futile~

[mrsquishyboots]

lets sell him a used hummer and acid washed coat............ haha i pick on Russians more than you, hey you shut it shipsim, helipad maitenance creates jobs lol

[midnight9wanderer]

I think I know what you mean and not to be a hair splitting but "pro Western" and "liberal" are largely exclusive of each other anymore. Our "liberals" in the West are very anti Western, in any classical sense of 'Western'; they are globalists first and Western intellectual deconstructionalists (they deconstruct everything with integrity). He sounds like a liberal globalist, which means i dont like him and he doesnt like the 'real' West.

[Kiddolinfen09]

If it brings jobs, I'm not fussed. Especially if they rake the government through their own waste every week - I'll work for them. : D

[JESUSSDAD]

he had to meet with brown? thats dodgy as fuck

[14842]

Aleksandr Lebedev seems to be a very nice man, we should suport any thing thats good for russia and europe all together :XD

[eriblood]

u mean only Russia@!! fuck the West

[14842]

@eriblood Doe nie zo raar jho. Fuck USA peace to europe and russia included

[eriblood]

lol oke Europe zonder the UK

[14842]

@eriblood Tja als het moet, de UK zal toch eens wakker moeten worden denk je niet, ze draaien zich steeds in en moeilijke positie, uit eindelijk schieten ze er niks mee op en komen ze bedrogen uit als ze zich aan the Amerikanen blijven vast houden. Uk dominant overheersend gedrag word toch niet bij ons geaccepteerd dus wat mij betreft heb je gelijk

[gringodeltoro1]

Londoners have been so fucking dumbed down. All that CCTV and Starbucks coffee have made the Rock N Roll capital of Europe into a circus for numb people. I need to get myself out of here !

[midnight9wanderer]

Anyone know where Lebedev is politically? Is he one of those Jewish oligarch guys or Slavic Orthodox Russian?

[shipsim]

He looks russian to me, but money and power do turn even moral slavic people into jew-like capital hungry immoral bastards who spend money on Castles and yachts with a helipads, money that they have stolen from simple folk who make up any country and nation, who are strong as hell when united, but weak and feeble by themselves in an imposed liberal-democratic and capitalist system. Since he is a big friend and political supporter of Gorbachev then he surely does not care about Russian people.

[jerseyflex238]

? Russian people...were weak, and wanted American Lee Jeans and Playboys...and listen to Queen and other stuff...Communist Party didn't have any financial or economic brains this what brought Russia down. These people didn't steal because there were no scence of ownership...They stole from you? which company did you own? so rlx...and when you say turn into jew-like...you should be put in jail for racial slur...being Russian is about soul not nationality!

[Yosh997]

You need more exclamation marks.

[midnight9wanderer]

You idiot you say someone should be jailed for saying something offensive?? Fuck you (insert appropriate racial slur whatever you are).

[jerseyflex238]

...you see. Perfect you don't care who I'm so why bring it on whole nation? why generalize people...if you wish to say something insulting to me, right ON! makes you happy...GREAT! but what for to bring hate toward nations...toward Russians, Jews, Serbs...didn't we learn the lesson in 1945?

[midnight9wanderer]

What we learned in 1945, was nothing to do with insulting people, or races, we should have learned never to let a single leader or a party and ideology have unmitigated coercive control over a nation's people, production, media and education. We learned that totalitarianism was/is evil and destructive. We learned that from Hitler and Stalin even more!! What went wrong was not insults to feelings, it was the removal of the ability to say what you wanted, under the threat force and incarceration.

[jerseyflex238]

...lol i hope they send you back to nazi Germany to 1939! lol and try to say Hey, German swine))) you done right thur. You are low moral person that haven't read enough books to make any statement...srry )

[midnight9wanderer]

You made absolutely no sense in that remark and basically argued against yourself, unbeknownst to you however..You are very sorry and have no idea how many books I have read. It sounds to me like you are just repeating middle school cliche driven propaganda. You seem to think totalitarianism is ok? I guess you dont understand the difference between opinion and action, law and preference. I guess you dont understand the difference between tactic and objective ; maybe that's too nuanced?

[jerseyflex238]

lol u try really hard to make no sense, tryin to cover ur NAZI comment.

[midnight9wanderer]

Maybe you should go back and read my comment, since there is no way you can understand English and call it a 'nazi comment', but then judging from your posts, English is not a language you are very fluent in so I'll give you a break here.

[jerseyflex238]

ho-ho-ho... so funny u r)

oh judging... who do you think you are? some sort of Nazi judge? naah you too dumb for that)

[LibertaerUeberAlles]

Search the web for:

"Database on Russian Jewish oligarchs"

There you'll find the answer. Cheers!

[jerseyflex238]

...hmm you into web search? did you ever tried common sense? Europe what is wrong with you...you start to be just like US.

P.s. Mostly jews practised finances and economics in USSR since it was banned by Communist Party! This why privatization went all wrong! Majority of Soviet people had no clue what economics are.! >>>

[Kinkspace]

Gordon is gonna be shitting himself, this is true terrorism in Brown's personal book =))

Made my day, thanks for the laugh RT =))

[redfletcher]

well, looks like this mogul has already been in for the "i'll scratch your back if you scratch mine" conversation, so in all likleyhood, bad.

[Kinkspace]

If he is anything like the Ruskies I know it will be smile and nod and do it his own way anyway... smile and nod :D :))

[RedGunBullets]

fuck him he is one of this yeltsin gorbatchov guys

[krum369]

This good or bad?

[dikkydoo1]

doesnt make no difference its all lies anyway.

[Kinkspace]

Good

[UkTruthSeeker2009]

More like Gordon Brown wanted to have an influence in making him back off from reporting the truth LOL

UK Gov dont like truth in news papers BUT The people love getting the truth Its a rare thing

[gringodeltoro1]

Definitely bad, but everything else is worse !
