At one time tit-for-tat diplomatic expulsions were all the rage so it's quite nostalgic to see them making something of a comeback. Personally I would like Russian assets in the UK frozen but first they have to work out how many UK assets there are in Russia. Tricky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the stinking enigma Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 So it's just a token theatrical gesture then. Akin to being savaged by a dead scarecrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the expression is "Like being savaged by a dead sheep" because I've never seen a scarecrow wearing the most appallingly vulgar costume jewellery imaginable! Denis Healey?

Presumably he is also one of Putin's useful idiots. It must be getting confusing for the populists trying to remember which side of any talking point they are on. Especially with Corbyn for support.

Especially with Corbyn for support. Though perhaps no more difficult that supporting whatever British fascism is calling itself this week whilst simultaneously posing as pro Israel.

No. In exactly the same way as the Soviet era Radio Moscow and the BBC were not equivalent but opposite. Or Lord Haw Haw, for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
