  • “It’s like Frankenstein. He created this monster, who became uncontrollable.” Fascinating talk with John Sweeney about his views on Putin, Yevgeny Prigozhin and the war in Ukraine.
    John Sweeney is a writer and journalist who, while working for the BBC, has challenged dictators, despots, cult leaders, con artists and crooked businessmen for many years. As a reporter, first for the Observer and then for the BBC, Sweeney has covered wars and chaos in more than eighty countries and been undercover to a number of tyrannies, including Chechnya, North Korea and Zimbabwe.
    He was at Chalke Valley History on Tuesday 26th June to join a panel discussing 'Putin's Russia' together with Samuel Ramani and Marina Litvinenko.

    Thank you for your interesting interview. Looking at Walter Duranty and his reporting about Russia in 1933 it is sobering to see the results of what can be erroneous reporting.

    His documentary with Tommy Robinson called Panodrama was by far his best work.

      😂 👍 Thank you - everyone must see Panodrama to understand what a racist, homophobic, instigator for slander, terrorist admirer, alcohol abuser, this list could go on for years...this person really is.

    I prefer his Orange Ukraine hat to people fighting over religion in The British Isles.
    Perhaps Inappropriate nail looking makes more sense if you have an agenda.
    I like the boy. He's mental.
    Loose cannon, One may think. You'd be wrong.
    Utterly unhinged, brutally correct, fantastically whimsical Statement of what it is to be a man.
    No Fucks Given.
    I like him.
    The kind of nutter that keeps the world halfway sane.
