Re: New UK-Russia Tensions after Ex-Russian Spy Poisoned in Salisbury
The diplomatic route is so stupid. Sometimes people aren't willing to talk. What would we even talk about? "Don't poison our citizens, please?". Do we have to make concessions to them just because they display acts of aggression towards us? Putin hasn't shown a desire to remediate, compromise or work with the Western world.

It's just a box-ticking exercise that all countries do. We need independence of energy from Russia so we can stand up to Putin through robust sanctions. Theresa may not be as weak as Trump and Corbyn are with Russia this but she could go a lot further.

Chris Byrant, Labour MP says "We should tell the Russian Ambassador to stop telling us what to do and he should be told to go home."
---------- Post added at 13:41 ---------- Previous post was at 13:38 ----------
BREAKING: The Russian Embassy in the UK has just stated "The Expulsion of 23 Russian Diplomats is an 'Hostile Action'."
Quote:
"We consider this hostile action as totally unacceptable, unjustified and shortsighted.
"All the responsibility for the deterioration of the Russia-UK relationship lies with the current political leadership of Britain."

Unlike trying to kill people on British soil, or is that just "business as usual" for them?

This is just it, if they were innocent, why aren't they showing any concern of Russian nationals dying in our country?
If it was any other country they would be issuing travel advisories and showing serious concern that their people are being killed on our streets, but their attitude is just 'Meh'.

Lot's of shaking of heads being shown towards Team Corbyn, even by Labour back benchers, for him peddling Moscow’s lines and the attitude of, "Well was it really the Russians?"

Re: New UK-Russia Tensions after Ex-Russian Spy Poisoned in Salisbury
Not heard anything from our super-patriots Nigel Farage and Katie Hopkins on this matter...
Probably don't want to screw up their RT appearance fees.
Nigel has made an appearance

Re: New UK-Russia Tensions after Ex-Russian Spy Poisoned in Salisbury
Why is it important what those two think, they aren't Members of parliament?
I don't get what your fixation is wanting to know what Nigel Farage thinks all the time, I see no criticisms on the leader of the opposition from you, why is that ?

Russian Foreign Ministry, has just stated the UK's government has chosen "confrontation" with Russia and will retaliate soon to the 23 Russian expulsions in the UK.

Re: New UK-Russia Tensions after Ex-Russian Spy Poisoned in Salisbury
Be interesting what the Russian Ambassadors reaction would have been if he'd been given a sample of the nerve agent as requested. I think we should have complied directly into his hand !
On the plus side Zizzi's have put some really good offers on since the incident

Re: New UK-Russia Tensions after Ex-Russian Spy Poisoned in Salisbury
Interesting to note that a number of Labour MPs have signed a motion backing Theresa May's comments in today's Statement in the Commons. Showing a moment of unity regardless of political aspirations, where there was none at all from their leader.

Motive and timing? It's shifted the world's eyes away from Syria.
