The biggest threat to the existence of the world and it's inhabitants in our lifetimes results in the removal of the main Putin propaganda machine to the UK, and your concerned about a thread going off topic. Really?

Besides, RT was previously available on Virgin to their Irish customers.

So RT would still be off-air if no action was taken in UK.
They are still on air but now seem to be repeating the same 30 minute anti-Ukraine programme nearly every hour.
I've got my suspicions that even some of the hourly news slots are repeats.
Where are they on air (or do you mean online)? RT America has now been taken off air.

Staff were 'shocked' really?? Staff were 'in tears' and only wanted to work to provide for their families.

Tough.

Up until just over a week ago ordinary people in the Ukraine were doing the same and many have lost more than their jobs (and didn't get two months pay) and will have shed many more tears. In the meantime, all these selfish *******s did was carry on doing Putins dirty work of propaganda.
