Yep. The Scottish media is just as captured by the Putin is evil narrative.

Even The National has a piece on Navalny and nothing on Assange. Shame.

Assange and the Palestinian people do not matter to the Western and even across the globe leaders/people in power. Navalny was an onvious threat to Putin, due to his popularity. Putin is just another justice avoiding criminal dictator, seems to be a trend these days. How Navalny died we will probably never know, hopefully his family will get some closure though. The fact is, fascism is winning, and they are widening the net, the rich powerful criminals are, maybe more so since the pandemic, criminalising those who dare to question their dicatorships and the UK Eng establishment/government are fast moving into that arena. I fear for the future, for our young people, and for the planet quite frankly.

What gets me is, watching the 'police' thugs in Russsia beat people up for laying flowers on a memorial, and those IDF terrorist thugs in Israel, follow orders so willingly, that's the terrifying aspect of the actions of humans, what will they NOT do for money and a litlle bit of power. My father served in the Brit army, he told me a few things later in his life about how they were brainwashed, (he wasn't having any of it and most lower ranks saw through that) into thinking anyone they were in combat with or even innocent people fleeing war in the jungles of Malayia, were a threat to you personally and even your family. back home. He and his fellow soldiers didn't always follow orders from the higher ranks, like being told to march a heavily pregnat woman walk ten miles through the jungle for example, it was the deep jungle after all.

The 'media' is just a propaganda tool for rich oligarchs, and it's why they also hate 'social media' because it can reach out to people without the obvious agenda. Also what is it that Israel has that disables whole powerful countries into staying silent on a genocide going on in front of their noses...hm, I wonder.
