Saw very little about this on CE, but seems like could potentially have interesting implications if our government actually does anything against Russia's brazen assassination attempts.

This happened last week. The purge monster got the earlier topics, no doubt. Still, the day of the nerve agent poisoning, Putin was quoted as saying "purveyors of poison inevitably drink it themselves", and state TV actually warned people that living in Britain was dangerous to your health, in a not so subtle warning for traitors to the country.

Lol Russia is literaly bragging about this openly on Global TV and you think The UK Government is going to do a thing?

They're going to apologize to Russia for implicating them and accept more immigrants.

I mean, there was one topic about it at the time but it got no posts and saw nothing since.

Just the recent meeting and pressure on May to do more than the last time this happened could be curious if she actually does do something. And yeah, with what Putin and their state news said it seemed basically a direct warning it would happen to others as well.

Yeah, Brexit was about not taking enough immigrants in afterall.

Brexit has absolutely nothing to do with immigrants.

The Pro-Leave moment just pretended it did to get votes and play people like you for saps.

If anything leaving the EU will probably mean more immigrants, not less.

The point is the UK government is toothless. The police had to publicly apologize for saying Muslim terrorists said Alhu Akbar and yet you think they're going to stand up to Russia?

Something I've learned in my time on this world is that you never betray the Russians.

They never forgive, and they never forget.

Well, the migrant thing has absolutely nothing to do with this discussion, so need to rant about it here. We can save that for another topic.

And no, I don't think anything will be done. Not at all. They actually assassinated someone before and little was done so I very much doubt anything will be done. But if May doesn't do something she is liable to be at even more pressure from her own party to step down and from the population at large. So is interesting for that alone.
