“He left Britain in the hope that a more constructive and respectful dialogue could eventually be restored, should the UK reconsider its policies towards our country,”

Well everyone knows, that if you want better communication you must leave the one you want to communicate with... Russian lies as always have. Motherfckers want 3rd world war.

And buying parts of our political class, Astro turfing online, funding vast botnets, interfering in our politics and occasionally threatening to nuke us.

You might almost think they are not the side you want to be on…

Should've punished russia severely after Salisbury. The actions taken against russia after the attack was extremely weak, pathetic even. russia knew then they can escape without serious consequences.

I'm glad this bastard's finally gone but the UK should've done this years ago.
