FACT-CHECKER FAUX PAS:"But who will check the checker?" Well, apparently someone did.

BBC's disinformation correspondent and chief fact-checker, 27-year-old Marianna Spring (pictured) shot to prominence for her reporting on "the way social media is used to peddle false information."

Now the career-climbing expert-of-nothing is accused of lying on her CV by falsely claiming to have worked with a top BBC journalist when applying for a job in Moscow.

To top it off - she was applying to work for the US "news" website Coda Story, one of the most VILE anti-Russian & far left propaganda trash rags to have ever graced the internet.

So what was the BBC expecting - that some HONEST person in their right mind would work as a DISINFORMATION specialist, with Coda and then BBC? Absolute lols. Shutting the entire operation down would be the only solution, in that gig.

🇺🇦🇬🇧 Boris Johnson (who?) is treated to a nationalist song rendition in Lvov, Western Ukraine.

The former PM of Britain has no official role in Ukraine, but is considered a "great friend", having received an honorary degree at Lvov University. The same Johnson who talked Ukraine out of peace negotiations when Russia's military, as agreed, left the Kiev area in 2022 - great friend, indeed!

The song Chervona Kalina was popularized by nationalists of the Ukrainian Volunteer Legion who were living in the Austro-Hungarian Empire (Galicia) after WWI.
