Unfair as his treatment may be, people hypocritically use it as an excuse to express petty political hatreds. Calling his trial Stalinist in a headline is an exaggeration that encourages that, and makes it hard to have a high quality discussion in the comments.

For good reason. The article is written in horrible tone.

What exactly about the tone is "horrible"? That's a strong word and I did not perceive it that way.

It uses adjectives and descriptions that suffocate the reader.

Completely separate from the subject matter, that kind of writing style treats the reader as an idiot.

Its absurd to question Stalinist trial label.

It is a show trial with so many glaring issues that UK citizens should be rioting. It makes UK look like a servile dog of US. They are staining whole nation law system for petty revenge of handful US politicians that will make it as their success. Disgusting.
