Private Eye magazine’s regular Lookalikes feature this fortnight highlight’s the striking resemblance between Vladimir Putin and Andrew Marr of the BBC, rather in line with the observations of BBBC aficionados:

A protective fence meant to keep people out, versus massive ethnic cleansing.
A three-year-old could spot the difference.
