on states killing people in Britain, surely Isis are way ahead of Russia? And I bet the USA is busy trying to find nerve gases to aim at Edward Snowden.

What is it that we gain from a war with Russia? There must be something, because Boris and Theresa are desperate for a fight.

Weak leaders know the political advantage of war; stupid voters tend to support our rulers no matter how absurd their motives.

NO ONE is talking about a war.

Simply "warning off" a rogue State which has used UK soil to kill UK citizens.
If they get away with it - it will only escalate.

Sanctions could hit us as much as them - so why do it?

Scrapping a silly little game of football will cost us nothing - and seriously damage the Russians propaganda hopes.

Of course, if everyone had listened to me 7 years ago and we had assassinated Assad, then millions would not have died in Syria (and would not still be dying - with absolutely no end in sight).

UNLESS of course, you think we should all just put our hands up and surrender?

You are SO wise ITK. The world at peace, you as leader and Isis running Syria (and using nerve gas everywhere); how clever. Not.

Boofhead Boris has committed a terrible sin and made the most disastrous undiplomatic statement.

Comparing Russians to Nazis is about the worst wounding insult. This is a race that revers the tens of millions lost fighting Hitler's scourge. What an idiot he is.

Yes, the Red Army was the main engine in the fight against the Nazis - and caused around 75% of their wartime casualties.

However, the cost was gigantic - as 26 million Russian citizens lost their lives.

For Boris to make this mindbogling comparison exhibited crass stupidity - and was totally counterproductive.

Yes - truly terrifying that our Foreign Secretary can be so totally lacking in common sense. He, May and the rest must go immediately. Not that they are terrible or evil; simply totally incompetent and unable to govern. Corbyn and McDonnell may not be that great but they cannot be worse than this mediocre lot, blundering into species extinction.

Boris is a complete liability. Grist to the mill of any doubters: if the UK is exaggerating by comparing Putin to Hitler, are they exaggerating about who was responsible for the poisoning?

And Boris The Spider is, of course, Russian.
