Blimey there's a lot to respond to. I'll start with Assange (again) to prove I didn't deflect . But UDF was making a point that the west had treated Assange just as badly if no worse than Russia has treated Pavel and I never disagreed with him (see below). But his main point seemed to be that the west was just as bad as Russia. Well I can't remember any prominent public figure ever being poisoned , can you. If Pavel and POG mines were British no way would Pavel be 'banged up' the way he is now. And by that same token Assange had been Russian revealing corruption he would have been poisoned by now. So that's the first point
" Yes I agree about Assange.When Trump ran for president in 2016 Assange released the Podesta wiki leaks in the build up to the election. What those leaks revealed changed my whole view of western democracy and if the truth manages to become public knowledge then much of our history will need to be totally revised.
Now its obvious you feel Assange has been treated badly by western democracy and that in part is due to what the clinton / podesta leaks revealed . However it seems then you also agree that Pavel is being treated like a political prisoner from the days of state communism.
However comparing his treatment to that of Assange is a fatuous comment as in Russia Assange would now be dead and in the UK Pavel would be a free man until proven guilty,"
