Julian Navalny and Alexi Assange

Our glorious liberal media are reporting every detail of the Alexi Navalny case. The man ‘Putin poisoned’ has been condemned by a Russian court to serve out a three and a half year suspended sentence on what the defence claim are trumped up fraud allegations. That may well be true, and I certainly doubt that a high profile opponent of Putin would be so stupid as to engage in any form of criminal activity that would give Putin’s regime the opportunity to imprison them. But what luck Navalny is not called Assange, for if he were we would hardly hear anything about him, or of the nefarious treatment of this government critic, banged up in jail on trumped up charges. As far as I’m concerned, they’re two peas in the same pod, or perhaps I should say cell.
