Neil Oliver: I don’t trust Putin and I don’t trust our leaders or our government to tell the truth.
In case you missed it Neil Oliver gives his views on the Russian invasion of Ukraine on GB News.

So, you freely admit you don’t know what is going on, but you do know who you blame. Amazing. https://t.co/7Uusrtvyq4

Couldn’t he just have spent that 1.10 minutes finding out what was going on instead of proudly telling us he didn’t know?

I’ll be honest. I don’t know what the hell this is. The land just stops here and there blue stuff and it’s wobbly. Perhaps no one knows? pic.twitter.com/oB7l9L9rbZ

“And sadly, the technology has yet to be developed which allows all of us instant access to more or less the total sum of human learning, and infinite real-time information, at pretty much no charge, so I guess we’ll never know.”

I’m not sure truth is actually rarer than gold. Given that quite a lot of truth is available in books and stuff.

I mean my parents had the entire Encylopedia Brittanica which they bought for around 100 pounds in 1973. I suspect even then the same weight in gold would’ve been considerably more costly.

For some reason it took us back to this, from an awfully long time ago. Just without all the badness, obviously.
To conclude …
A word salad of incomprehensible nonsense, in which he repeatedly says he doesn’t understand anything, and then confirms exactly that. A little dig at the west blended with a paranoid stream of conspiracist diarrhoea. On what planet does a UK news channel air this verbose slurry? https://t.co/0vepvfBSkM

And this.
This is disappointing crap.
