Putin may not like this happening, but he will respect May for calling this action.

You say potato, I say potato.

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Drop in the ocean, they'll expel another block and then everyone will join together at various embassies across the World to celebrate what great diplomats they are. If you poisoned your Nan they wouldn't expel your Uncle, you'd be inside and punished (Trawlers, Sardines etc)

 

[Pevenseagull]

I'm almost certainly being very ****ing naive here but .... what are they spying on these days?
I'm in no way one of those conspiracy nutters but what is going on that needs spies?

[SeagullinExile]

I bet Putin is quaking in his boots. This country is no longer a world power so he just doesn't care.

Obviously the nature of spying is that it's secret, so we can only guess, but I imagine most spying is humdrum and little different from journalism, ie collecting information for assessment to be converted into intelligence. BUT the thing in Salisbury isn't spying it's military activity, and I imagine the test here is whether the person or people responsible for the action are to be expelled (assuming anyone in the UK was involved that is...).

Other than that, Putin doesn't really care. The only things he cares about are money, power and status.

It's been happening for decades. Be ready for some of our diplomatic corps being expelled from Moscow. Tit for tat.

35 is nothing. We expelled 105 at once in 1971.

I guess the Brexiteers will be happy with 23 fewer 'foreigners' in the country

Yeah but that was full on cold war o'clock

Very telling that the number is exactly 23, the number famously associated with the Illuminati. It's said that Putin (who dabbled with the organisation but never became a full member) has been increasingly 'at war' with the Illuminati in recent months. This looks to me like May demonstrating to Putin that she is working with said Illuminati against him. Google 'the 23 enigma' for more info.

We ought to have gone further and kicked out some of Putin's stooges outside the diplomatic corps

And the 57 varieties branding of Heinz is satanism.

Yes, but the atmosphere is getting colder by the day again. Where's someone like Gorbachev when you need them?

They don’t like it up um!
