    Now I don't want to get all jingoistic, but this Salisbury business.

    I mean, Ivan has in effect launched a chemical weapons attack on British soil that appears to have affected hundreds of people and fundamentally broken the rules of international espionage. Are we actually going to...y'know...do something?

    Litvinenko was shabby, but he himself was pretty much fair game. This chap had been exchanged fair and square. Topping him is right out of order.

    We've got 'fúck all' in the military department and would be squished like a fly by Putin's mob.

    I'm sure one of our nice diplomats will politely ask them if they could do a tidier job next time.

    No, in that game, it's important to leave a fairly obvious marker, a signature or calling card. You know, so that everyone knows who did it.

    Like the Milk Tray man?
    "Scoring a goal is better than sex" - Whoever said that was sticking it to the wrong woman

    Yeah, let's have a nuclear war, despite Russia having no motive for killing a bloke they could have killed in their own prison years ago. And if they did they wouldn't be so clumsy.

    I quite like the weird theory about another Clinton murder, bumping him off before he spills something about Steele's (to whom he was connected) dodgy dossier, while blaming Russia as an excuse to ramp up the defcon even further. #WereAllGoingToDie

    Well given that Putin has effectively stated that he considers all traitors to be targets and that Russia’s overseas assassinations have not been notable for their adroitness, you’ll understand if disagree with you here.

    I suspect that the gentlemen of The Circus know perfectly well who did it, and why. If it was a Russian state-sponsored assassination, the problem is quite what we can do about it. Realpolitik, b. Immer Realpolitik.

    Also, Nerve gas is fairly identifiable as state sponsored. Not exactly readily available
