-

A defiant Alex Salmond has declared he can “say what I like” on Russia Today (RT), claiming any move to shut down his television show would make a “mockery of freedom of speech”. Why isn’t the BBC referred to as a state-sponsored propaganda mouthpiece? Is it because us mugs pay for it and that’s why the licence fee will never end .

Child-of-gaad Nationalis­ts hate the UK so much they try and defend Russia. Not even their leader is trying to defend Russia.

Old clothes and porridge Freedom of speech is all very well, but the moral context must come into play surely?

Toup Who does he think was responsibl­e for the attack in Salisbury, if not Russia?
