The RT broadcaster’s accounts have been blocked in the United Kingdom, Editor-in-Chief Margarita Simonyan said Monday, suggesting that the move stifles free speech.

“Our accounts in the UK have been closed. All Accounts. ‘The decision is not subject to revision’. Long live freedom of speech!” Simonyan said in a Twitter post.(above)

Following Editor-in-Chief Margarita Simonyan’s statement on Twitter earlier in the day, RT UK said it had been informed by the National Westminster Bank that it “will no longer provide” banking arrangements with the broadcaster.

    “Ms Simonyan said the closure included the personal accounts of some senior RT staff working in the UK.” – Saudies next?

      I wonder why he seems to be trying to influence the US election in favour of someone accused of sexual assault.

      Hmmm.

        It’s open season for easily 2 of the worst candidates ever to apply for us topdog, they deserve all the stick they get for putting themselves in the limelight

        As distinct from someone loading tens of millions into a ‘foundation”, or supplying arms by the back door to terrorists?

    Looks like the warmongering British establishment is losing the fight on and off the airwaves. Their mouthpiece, the BBC, wouldn’t know the truth if 1000’s of school kids hit them up the face with it. Or perhaps the BBC knows it can’t compete with all the pretty and intelligent female RT presenters it has to compete with? Seriously, Fiona Bruce? She has neither attributes.

    I like RT. I know it is a propaganda tool but it is just a different one to what we fed from. Sometimes their bias is so obvious it is funny but they they also cover some interesting topics.
