It's time out for Wikipedia in Turkey:
If you try to open Wikipedia in Turkey right now, you'll turn up a swirling loading icon, then a message that the server timed out.
Turkey has blocked Wikipedia. If you're inside the country, you can only access the online encyclopedia through a virtual private network connection to a system outside the country.
Turkish officials reportedly asked the online encyclopedia to remove content by writers "supporting terror."
Wikipedia "has started acting as part of the circles who carry out a smear campaign against Turkey in the international arena, rather than being cooperative in fight against terror," ministry officials said, according to Al Jazeera. It tried to show Turkey "at the same level and in cooperation with terror groups."

Farage, Wilders, Le Pen etc is a direct reaction to the complete lack of will to stop the tide of the migrant invasions into Europe. Unless that is taken into account. The events taking place don't make sense.

An hour and 41 minutes, eh? Been asleep on the job? Has uncle Vlad been cutting back on funding since Farage won? Surely he's not complacent about Le Pen now, is he?
