※ [本文轉錄自 Gossiping 看板 #1O1GNrTi ] 作者: kogamasao (丸紅斯基柏格) 看板: Gossiping 標題: [新聞] 英國賭輸俄羅斯 -- 翻桌！時間: Tue Oct 18 01:10:04 2016 1.媒體來源: 今日俄羅斯(RT) 2.完整新聞標題: UK bank to close RT accounts, 'long live freedom of speech!' – editor-in-chief 英國銀行要關閉媒體機構《今日俄羅斯》在英國的全部帳戶。 RT主編嘲笑英國：「言論自由萬歲！」 3.完整新聞內文: Published time: 17 Oct, 2016 11:12 Edited time: 17 Oct, 2016 16:33 The UK bank servicing RT has given notice that it will close the broadcaster’s accounts, without explanation. The UK government has denied any involvement in the bank's decision. They closed our accounts in Britain. All of them. ‘Decision not to be discussed’. Long live freedom of speech!” RT's editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan said on her Twitter account. She added that RT’s assets were not frozen and can still be withdrawn from the accounts. The National Westminster Bank has informed RT UK that it will no longer have the broadcaster among its clients. The bank provided no explanation for the decision. “We have recently undertaken a review of your banking arrangements with us and reached the conclusion that we will no longer provide these facilities,” NatWest said in a letter to RT’s London office. The bank said that the entire Royal Bank of Scotland Group, of which NatWest is part, would refuse to service RT. The letter said the decision was final and that it is “not prepared to enter into any discussion in relation to it.” The RT press office pointed out that NatWest is part of the Royal Bank of Scotland Group, which counts the UK government as a significant shareholder. “This decision is incomprehensible, and without warning. It is however, not at odds with the countless measures that have been undertaken in the UK and Europe over the last few years to ostracize, shout down, or downright impede the work of RT. RT UK will continue its operations uninterrupted,” RT press office stated. UK Prime Minister Theresa May’s office has denied any involvement in NatWest’s decision. "It's a matter for the bank and it's for them to decide who they offer services to based on their own risk appetite," May's spokeswoman told reporters, as cited by Reuters. “We have no idea why it happened, because neither yesterday nor the day before yesterday, nor a month ago, nothing special happened to us, nobody threatened us in any way. Hypothetically, this may have something to do with new British and American sanctions against Russia, which may be announced soon. It may not. Our legal department is dealing with the issue now,” Margarita Simonyan told RBK business news website. In a statement, the Russian Foreign Ministry expressed its “deep concern” over the bank's move and said that it would ask British authorities “to clarify the situation.” The bank’s move creates “formidable obstacles for the normal work of the [RT] channel in the UK,” the ministry said, adding that it raises suspicions that it was “an action aimed at eliminating a media outlet, which was unfavorable for the British establishment but popular among the British public.” If so, then it is a gross violation of the basic principles of free speech and free press by… ‘the oldest democracy in the world’,” the ministry statement added. The bank’s move concerning RT UK is unprecedented, cynical pressure on the media, Sergey Zheleznyak, member of the Russian Parliament Foreign Affairs Committee, said. We will demand explanations from the British authorities for this situation. We will help RT staff to protect their rights. We will request that international organizations like the Council of Europe and the UN, as well as international human rights and media professionals communities state their positions on this issue,” he said. “I sincerely hope that there’s no political motive for this, because we know that the British government isn’t happy with RT in Britain,” publisher Marcus Papadopoulos told RT. “RT has a lot of viewers in Britain. Many British people now tune in to RT to receive information on major topics around the world, including in Britain. And many British people believe that the alternative accounts that RT puts forward and covers are more truthful than what they’re hearing from, for example, Sky News. “If no bank in Britain would allow RT to be a customer, then that could spell the end of RT broadcasting in Britain, which would be a catastrophic event for freedom of speech in Britain,” he added. “It seems more than a coincidence that this has taken place at a time when the anti-Russian propaganda has been ramped up to unprecedented levels,” writer John Wight told RT. “This reflects the extent to which the West is losing the information war. RT plays a key role in challenging the narrative of the West and Western media when it comes to events in Ukraine, Syria and the Middle East.” The British government indeed considers RT to be a major security threat, according to a report it gave to the parliament in September. The cabinet’s plan to counter it, as stated to MPs, is to encourage “greater alignment between policy and communications divisions” of NATO structures as well as pumping more money into BBC World Service. 摘譯： RT在這家開戶的英國銀行有英國政府股份，突然通知RT：關閉全部帳戶。銀行不解釋理由。俄羅斯的國會外交組議員對英國此舉指出：全都是英國在這一場資訊戰敗北，所以翻臉耍賴，企圖切斷RT的資金流通管道。 4.完整新聞連結 (或短網址): https://www.rt.com/news/363013-rt-uk-accounts-blocked/ 備註: 外行人可能看不懂這事件。巷子裏的人都知道： RT這一年來的新聞閱讀率可能全球第一。從youtube的RT頻道的點閱率，多少可以佐證這一點。原因無他：RT的新聞可信度，也就是地球人對RT的信任度，可能超越 CNN、BBC、紐約時報、彭博、華盛頓郵報、路透社、...任何單一新聞媒體。這件事突顯兩大問題： 1. 民主先進國，英國的「言論自由」是假的。 2. 台灣很少人有機會、有興趣接觸真實新聞，與地球村脫節。編輯補充：維基解密首腦Assanger被鎖死在厄瓜多爾駐英國大使館。這幾天不斷爆料希拉蕊Clinton的電子郵件醜聞。終於，Assanger的網際網路被「某國家」切斷： https://www.rt.com/news/362985-julian-assange-internet-link/ -- 真相多於謊言的媒體： http://whatreallyhappened.com http://russia-insider.com http://rt.com http://presstv.com http://zerogedge.com http://aljazeera.com -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 93.115.95.202 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Gossiping/M.1476724213.A.76C.html
