This is bullshit. UK press is reporting that intelligence services knew nothing about this putative attack until suspicious activity by five individuals in three vans was called in to the police by a local farmer.

International maritime law ("The law of the sea") imposes a 'duty to assist.' Nothing that fascist scumbags do will change that.

The pin on the map indicates where a Russian drone was shot down by NATO. Let's be quite clear that a drone in that location was not accidental. It was a very deliberate provocation by Russia.

This is the well-established business model of ex-nationalised now-privatised enterprises: run them into the ground by making minimal investment whilst trousering colossal dividends and then walking away when it all goes tits-up, leaving taxpayers to clear up the mess. /1
