Antidote

Characters as obviously dodgy as Boris Berezovsky and Alexander Litvinenko should never have been allowed into this country, where their presence served only to endanger our own people.

But the BBC has made the lead news the possible poisoning, in Russia, of a man who wants to be the corrupt dictator of Russia in place of the present corrupt dictator of Russia. Who cares?

We know what, or at any rate whom, Alexei Navalny is against. But what is he for? What does he want instead? There is a reason why those who are supposed to ask questions on our behalf never ask that question.

And notice that he is not dead. If Vladimir Putin is the Great Poisoner, then he is not very good at it. If it is not the Skripals doing the hokey cokey across Salisbury Plain, then it is this. 

If Putin, or the GRU, or any of that lot, wanted you dead, then you would be dead. Not of some exotic poison that did not work, anyway. But of a bullet to the head.

  1. You need to give it up-only Corbyn’s politically irrelevant cranks, (driven into the wilderness by their own party and its voters) still talk like this. Ask them who they think did poison the Skripals with Novichok (they probably think it was “the Zionist lobby”). There’s a reason they never answer that question...

    Navalny has risked his life and livelihood exposing state corruption, you ignoramus. That’s not what someone does if they just want power (as if Putin’s mafia state would ever let him near that). The murdered Boris Nemtsov, Anna Politkovskaya, Alex Litvinenko and Sergei Magnitsky were not “corrupt” either-they were heroes. The Russian state cannot make murder as obvious as you suggest, of course. But who do you think did it (and indeed committed all those other “unsolved” murders of Putin’s political opponents, including on a bridge in front of the Kremlin)? Don’t be coy...

    You should seriously consider a job over at RT, where you’d actually get paid to write Putin propaganda like this.

    1. But could RT afford me?

      Going Underground, Sputnik, The Alex Salmond Show, Renegade Inc., there is nothing remotely as good as any of them anywhere else.

  2. If you think Russian intelligence never blunders when attempting to kill their own citizens, look up “The Ryazan Incident.”...
