Thank you to everyone who joined our Q&A earlier this week with Power Lines co-hosts Anastasiia Lapatina and Jakub Parusinski. Anastasiia and Jakub spoke about what work goes into each episode, their editorial freedom, and how they approach reporting about Ukraine during the war.

Thank you to everyone who sent in questions! We received a number of requests to open the chat function, so at our next community event, we will enable both the Q&A and the chat in the Zoom webinar. If you have any more comments or suggestions, we’d love to hear them!

For those who weren’t able to attend, you can find the recording here.

Mr T A EASTON

I found the really interesting part was the discussion about reporting on alternative viewpoints. You obviously should not parrot Russian lies in pursuit of "balance" and in a war situation that would be ridiculous. I think it was Churchill who said in time of war the truth is so important it must be protected by a bodyguard of lies. I am proud that the UK is aiding Ukraine but we are less than perfect. We are still importing Russian coal, oil and gas, in reduced quantity. Yet we are sitting on masses of these resources and refuse to exploit them in pursuit of net zero. Exporting the problem just makes it worse as this stuff is heavy. We have not issued oil exploration licenses for many years, refuse to open an anthracite mine in Cumbria and ban fracking for gas. And we know Russia has given financial support to in particular the anti-fracking lobby. I do not expect or want Ukraine to start criticising us at a time they need every bit of help. But I can be critical of my Government. It's called freedom. That is why we have had 3 Prime Ministers in 3 months. If they do not measure up we get rid of them. Back to Churchill. Democracy is the worst system in the world - apart from all the other systems. Tom
