Yeah but he who supplied the rhyme committed the crime.
I can only imagine the chants of "brrrrrrp!" and packs of Pampers thrown at this man the next time he steps up to the oche.

Time for snowflake news. Lecturers at a Leeds University told not to use CAPITAL LETTERS in assignments to avoid scaring students.

So that's the UK, Estonia and Lithuania all smoking the same thing?
Well that's me convinced, thanks for clearing that up Russian state media!

True, children have never been the target of propaganda

That seems to be what the experts are accusing it of being, in the links you provided. Though I could only read the Daily Mail's article due to The Time's being paywall blocked.
Again, that seems to be what the experts are suggesting...So, it’s apparently Kremlin propaganda targeting British children.Am I right?
hmm...

Your knowledge of history, particularly the Second World War, is always very good. I'm sure you're aware that propaganda has often been created for children as well as for adults. It's not an impossible thing.

So you simply believe these experts without turning your own head on, even if they say such ridiculous things?
Feisty, nasty, plucky, punches above her weight? Clearly Putinesque!
If Masha and the Bear is Kremlin propaganda, I’m afraid to think what is Tom and Jerry...
But where’d they see propaganda here? What does this show propagate?
Perhaps it shouldn’t be in this thread, because paranoia (seeing propaganda in literally anything made in Russia) isn’t funny, it’s a mental disorder that should be treated, not laughed at...
So I'd be better off believing in the Russian state, than independent experts?
Edit: You ask me to 'turn my own head', which I'm guessing is a take on 'thinking for yourself' ? If this is the case, you've jumped to believe the Russian State over three (?) other nations worth of experts on this matter.

What the hell does the ‘Russian state’ have to do here?
I know it myself that 2 + 2 = 4, without any ‘Russian media’, but some totally unbiased independent experts are telling it’s 5.
Your thinking seems like if the ‘Russian state’ denied that the Earth is flat you would believe it is...
As for the Baltic states... Well, their fears of Russia have become their national sports, so there’s no wonder that cartoons endanger their national security.
The Russian State where the only ones quoted as dismissing the comments from these various experts. Comments you echo.
You are not an expert in this field (clearly) and also haven’t undertaken your own research (or if you have not shared it here), so how could you come to any meaningful conclusion?

I saw that claim from RT too, as it happens, and for once they were right. Tom and Jerry have been used as a propaganda vehicle.

What strikes me as particularly odd is the fact that the bereaved parents didn't actually see it, but the person who was 'utterly horrified' by it took a picture of it and then made it public, thereby ensuring that the bereaved parents ended up seeing it after all

I guess she really really wanted to make sure they were eligible for the refund.What strikes me as particularly odd is the fact that the bereaved parents didn't actually see it, but the person who was 'utterly horrified' by it took a picture of it and then made it public, thereby ensuring that the bereaved parents ended up seeing it after all
