Yes, lots of strange, " tragic ", deaths involving Russian emigrees.
I think this is the Russian security services saying " we don't forgive or forget and, if we decide to come for you we will come and get you and we really don't care if there is a bloody great arrow pointing at Moscow. "

'After a Cold War-style spy swap at Austria's Vienna airport, Col Skripal moved to the UK, where he kept a low profile for eight years.
His wife Liudmila died in 2012, a year after they had bought a semi-detached home in Salisbury.
Two years ago, Col Skripal's older brother died in Russia, and last year, his 43-year-old son died while on holiday with his girlfriend in the Russian city of St Petersburg. He had been rushed to hospital with liver failure.
Family members were suspicious at the time and still believe some of the deaths were under mysterious circumstances.
Col Skripal's daughter Yulia, who was found unconscious next to her father, was visiting from Moscow, relatives told the BBC.'

Boris now suggesting that England will not attend the World Cup if Russian involvement is proven.
Boris Johnson threatens UK representation at World Cup
The foreign secretary said that if the Russian government were linked to the collapse of Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia, it "would be very difficult to imagine that UK representation at this summer's World Cup could go ahead in the normal way."

Perhaps Boris should consider confiscating all the assets held by the Russians in this country including all the properties of theirs

Boris Johnson earlier, just checking where Salisbury is on the map, before answering the urgent question in parliament about Russia.
Bit rich for Boris Johnson to be attacking the Russians when him being on the same side of the EU Referendum they helped win is the only reason he's even in his job.

The message behind Putin's calculated brutality is clear. If you betray us, we'll kill your family first and then you.
Don't ingore the timing either, with the Russian election coming up, he wants to be shown to be as strong as ever ... oddly, this sort of thing seems to play well with the electorate there.
Anyone who thinks there is going to be any sort of serious response is deluded. We'll probably be angling with them for a trade deal this time next year.
Boris Johnson, pulling the England team out of the World Cup? ha ha ha Boris only cares about himself and won't do anything remotely that unpopular.

The stuff they use she was probably close enough for it to kill her as well.
Some police in hospital for just getting close after the attack.

Police confirm that a nerve agent was used. The policeman first on the scene is seriously ill in hospital.
Seeing as chemical weapons have been used on British soil with the finger of blame pointing to Russia, seems inevitable that we should boycott their world cup.
Whilst we are at it perhaps invoke NATO regulation on attack on one, attack on all and get NATO members to boycott world cup.
Not sure what else we can do...that would piss Putin?

I don't think we can really go to the World Cup now.
