Snowden thoughts on this?
Russian Midget Putin isn't Fooling anyone!Doesnt he Know what just England alone Can do to the Entire Country of Russia?In mid Winter?All the Forrest in Russia will be cut down just for Heat!
Jakarta says; we are in the same level now.
The UK is a very rich country and a news of such power outage is unexpected to hear! Whatever, failure happens, it should have been maintained sooner. Boris Johnson has to change such bad image of the UK.
Scary
Is this the new 5G network from China, Russia's new game, or, The Donald spreading fear?
Hope power comes back soon. Isn’t there a big heat wave coming again.
Was this a practice run by Putin? So not only does he want to screw us with Brexit he wants to do it in the dark as well!!.StopBrexit
Wasn’t really a national grid failure though, was it? Two power sources feeding the grid failed, but the transmission system itself operated correctly to prevent an even larger blackout.
London hit by power problems? Probably some little twats knifing the substations while their mates watch from the scooters
Don’t panic , my phone was fully charged . powercut poweroutage powercuts rain
The end?
Do you remember this is the fake news CNN
Iran
Not just London, but many parts of the UK!
Why haven’t I seen one article on your twitter page talking about JoeBiden saying “Poor kids are just as talented as White kids”
I suspect the Ibo guys. They must have vandalised the national grid somewhere Downtown.
It's that damn EU of course, only brexit areas affected.
Hard Brexit. Perfect.
Hey, part and parcel.....
RS did it good on the london dudes!
Can’t access the news
What is breaking about this news? You people play too much...
Every power outage has a surge of births nine months later - I say this was on purpose after the news that since Brexit the birthrate in th UK plummeted.
Damn it! Brexit has come early!
The Nigerian wouldn't stop laughing.
Maybe their Trump balloon got tangled in the power lines
.
The Miami Marlins are in London?
NEPA don take light for London 👍🏼
True? Or like everything else CNN?
Russians!
Brexit, in or out!!

Not to make 'light' of a bad situations, but here's another chance for your DR on IBMPowerSystems and/or IBMStorage to 'shine'.
Raji Fashooolaaaaaaa
Breaking news !!! There are less people listening and watching CNN & MSNBC then ever!!!! Abuse, freedom of speech!!!!
Correction it was a nationwide power cut here that affected most of our country not just London & their surrounding areas because the North East of England was one of the worst affected areas here.
Is that brexit or elexit
Brexit talks have overpowered the grid amid Boris Johnson’s election.
Poor mayor can’t get a break. Up there with Trudeau in approval ratings. Or down there, more appropriately.
nickmangwana did you see this one?
Old news. It’s over now.
BOYCOTT CNN!
Russia?
Wonder how long it'll take people on both sides of the pond to blame immigrants
CNN is pushing Mexico’s strong worries about their citizens treatment by supposed white supremacists in ElPaso. Sure they are CNN just like they cared when Obama gave their Drug Lords auto weapons. CNN’s ratings show their Hatred Bias towards Trump since he was elected. Corrupt
Anybody ain't make their FPL side it was good knowing you lol
Brexit Testing power 1 - 2, 1 - 2 !😂
As for u people and exaggeration?! This only affects the train lines and not homes... No wonder why Trump is always on ur case as a Fake News network!! Mtcheeeewwwwww... Give better and more clarified headlines next time...
Brexit so soon?
Them don seize light for London. 🤔
Dolapo_Dwells Just in time to make it harder to read Epstein release that discusses certain someones over there? Amazing?. Meh. Can't keep the lights out forever
Iranians, Russians, Chinese, 14yr old kid in Moldova, pick one.
November 1st practice run
CNN will be blaming Trump soon. LOL....
Does a centralized grid still make sense today? Is it smarter for each building to be a self-contained electrical generating station?
Everything is done correctly. Just in case, the British need to gradually get used to this life after Brexit.
Should have brexitd sooner that would have helped.
Something something qanon
Trumps fault.
