Probably will after the first round.

Yer, the only way we could use the World Cup to punish the Russians would be by actually winning it.. looks like its plan B then.

Sadly, Britain has been effectively castrated on the world stage the last 8 years by choosing to follow and align ourselves with Obama’s impotent foreign policies. (Ukraine, Syria, Iran, North Korea. etc)
Putin is a very shrewd player, he’s sending his Political opponents and dissidents a clear message and also, more to the point, he’s blatantly taking the Mick out of the British Government because he knows that we are so far on the back foot now.
This will be a stiff test of May’s leadership, will be interesting to see how she responds and whether Europe and the US will follow suit.
(Maybe they could all project the Union Jack on their prominent landmarks like they do with terrorist attacks)

Until someone claims responsibilty and/or irrefutable evidence.  I reckon it would be careless for anyone to align with any given position.

Who’d have thought that Brexit would have led to the UK suddenly becoming extremely unhealthy for Russian exiles?

I think the US and EU will show solidarity and stand firm beside Britain as we do absolutely nothing.

Ha ha,

 

It just seems strange to me that they're giving this so much attention, then suggesting to people that they wipe themselves down with baby wipes if they were anywhere near it.

 

They didn't make the same amount of fuss when Litvenyenko was poisoned with radioactivty.

 

The location of the attack seems quite strange.  Maybe Porton Down had an antidote, and that's why the Skripals are still with us?  Maybe it's misdirection to stop us from thinking about other things, Who knows?

They did, but they didn't realise what had happened for several days after the attack, so there was less urgency in the clean-up operation.

I stand corrected.

I’m with you on that one Mark....

 

It’s all just just an elaborate ruse to divert attention, and to pre-empt the gut wrenching national humiliation of England’s imminent woeful performance at the World Cup.....

 

Easier to fake a bio attack than for England FC to deliver a credible performance on the world stage ?
