United Kingdom illegal financial attack on Russia Today
The United Kingdom has illegally frozen the bank accounts of Russia Today UK and given no reason. Obviously it's politically motivated because RT is challenging the UK's unipolar world- American alliance position and the converse globalist position backed by political correctness (poison brainwashing which includes "a want of a mixed global culture - multiculturalism" and assisted ways to break down the culture ranging from homosexuality to slandering the traditional culture and the family).

“To close the account of one of the world’s leading news agencies is censorship, the direct obstruction of journalists’ work,”Dmitry Kiselyov said. “What kind of press freedom and democracy can Britain claim to have if it prevents one of the world's largest news agencies from working in the country?”
No formal notification of the move or justification for it was immediately provided. A source in the banking sector told the agency the Exchequer has put Dmitry Kiselyov on an anti-Russian sanctions list, which could have led to the news agency’s account being frozen.
“This is illegal,” Rossiya Segodnya’s Editor-in-Chief Margarita Simonyan tweeted. “The sanctions imply that Kiselyov cannot travel to Europe and have personal bank accounts there. No sanctions were imposed on Rossiya Segodnya news agency.”

Kiselyov is one of the people subjected to financial and travel sanctions in the EU. These restrictions have been imposed on a number of Russian officials in connection with Moscow’s stance over Ukraine crisis.
The sanctions list, which includes the head of Rossiya Segodnya news agency, was published on March 21. It characterizes Kiselyov as “central figure of the government propaganda supporting the deployment of Russian forces in Ukraine.”
Russia’s ambassador in the UK, Alexander Yakovenko, tweeted that the move is an example of using censorship against media that provides an alternative point of view.

Russia Today does not have journalistic independence - but they try mix in enough genuinely unbiased news to make it seem like they aren't taking orders from the Kremlin. It's very obvious if you look at e.g. their reporting on MH17, however.

You are committing the logical fallacy of tu quoque here.
Every source has an agenda, but some sources have an agenda that aligns them with truth and accuracy more than others. You are claiming a false equivalence where there is none - the idea that because we can't fully trust anyone, we should just give everyone equal weight. However, some sources are just so unreliable as to be worth very little of your time. Russia Today is one such source.

Good. Russia Today promotes the most idiotic anti-west, anti-capitalist, anti-american, anti-climate change action, conspiracy theory bull**** I've ever seen.
Russia Today presents a view of the world similar to that of a drunk David Icke on multiple drugs having an epileptic fit

About time this trash was taken off the air.
RT newscasters have resigned rather than go on air and spout the propaganda and lies dictated by the Kremlin.
Actions speak louder than words: RT never broadcasts anything even remotely critical of the Russian government or Putin. On the other hand, nothing good is ever said about Western politics - the spin on political stories is always negative. Every chance to have a dig at the US is taken with glee.To bring home the emphasis on negative stories and portray the West as evil, Rory 'unbiased' Suchet even shakes his head and raises his eyes with incredulity when reading out anti-Western propaganda.

It's a kremlin propaganda arm. You only have to look at the coverage of MH17. This is as much of an attack on freedom of speech as removing press TV was

Seeing how the network is funded directly by the Kremlin, I see nothing wrong. Plenty of Russian money laundering going on as it is.

Is your opinion about RT's reporting of MH17 based on the opinion that Wester media is telling you the gospel. If so, how are you in a position to assess this objectively?
If you have some kind of blind faith in Western media, you need to know that almost everything about war and geopolitics is false. It has been for years.
Please take a look at this CNN First Gulf War faked broadcast:

Google it.
Funny how googling something is proof of something if it agrees with someone's view but just rubbish "conspiracy articles" are said to come up if it dosages with someone's view.

Part of sanctions the public doesn't want made by swindlers of truth.
There should be sanctions for invading Iraq.

You can disagree with them but you can't take away their right to say so.
Remember once upon a time everyone would say you are a liar if you say the world is round.
