    Mr Putin

    Liberal spinelessness never ceases to amuse me. Le Gentle Sirs would never dispense with a title even when insulting someone.

      Calling a President “Mr” is actually considered an insult in liberal circles.

      Actually not only liberal, but it’s pretty archaic outside of it - if you read Lenin, you can exactly pinpoint the moment when Lenin ended friendships and aquaintances when he stopped calling people by name, pseudonym or comrade and started going by “Mr”.
