Good point, meaning that any 'controls' in place would be meaningless.
Edit: I hope to God that you're right PIP.
Putin has visited the UK several times. Apparently, back in 2003 Putin was here for a state visit and rudely kept the Queen waiting for 14 minutes.
David Blunkett was also in attendance with his guide dog. When Putin eventually arrived, Blunketts guide dog started barking very loudly for no reason. Afterwards, he went over to the Queen to apologise for the noise, to which the Queen replied "Dogs have very interesting instincts, don't they?"!
It would be great if he could pop over for another visit, there again, if anything happened to him this too could start another war. They don't seem to like their own treatment of people being done to them.
Does anyone know what happened to the opposition guy that was poisoned, who survived and returned to Russia?
