The sinking of MS Estonia: Case Reopened Part VII

A reputable newspaper source is good enough for me, just as Postimees was good enough for Junkshop. Likewise the Estonian newspaper citing the Rockwater divers heading for Voronin's case. That is how current affairs work.

Why is a newspaper good enough but not the actual source itself?
Why would you trust an intermediary to accurately report on something and not check it yourself?

When you watch Alistair Campbell or Sophie Raworth reading the BBC News, you assume the stuff they're spouting is properly researched and authenticated. Rabe is one step beyond being a mouthpiece, she is the source of the researched and authenticated stuff you accept unthinkingly every day.

And yet you refuse to give us the references from Rabe and just give us what the newspapers say.

It should be clear that my view is that the Rockwater divers took a special interest in the attaché case in cabin no. 6230. Why? because Frànsen the SEMI bod in charge of the whole Rockwater thing - not to mention hiring an expensive outfit with commercial divers rather than research ones, when Sweden has plenty of marine expert divers of its own, and at a cheaper tender - made it clear to the divers they were not to identify any of the bodies, What happened in cabin 6230? Voronin's name was spelt out. What's more, the diver suggested he could be the gentleman lying dead behind the door in the hallway. So, the fact, (a) they weren't looking to ID bodies and (b) nonetheless named Voronin, albeit indistinctly, and the supervisor was clearly asking someone higher up on the platform as to whether the name being called out 'rang a bell.' Ding, ding , ding.

We report today on a fatal crash on the M1 where a lorry ploughed into a car, skidded and forced another lorry off the road. It is believed the driver was drinking Red Red Wiiiiiiine.

For someone who hates newspaper sources, I notice you've yet to provide a direct quote from Farage or Starmer that isn't from social media or a news outlet.

I am not making any claims about what they say. Plus, I usually accompany any quotes I post with a link to the post by Farage or Starmer or a video of them actually saying it.

I don't post a link to a newspaper saying a different newspaper quoted something.

Okay, here's Jutta Rabe in her own words:
