Russian spy: UK to expel 23 Russian diplomats - BBC News

The UK will expel 23 Russian diplomats after Moscow refused to explain how a Russian-made nerve agent was used on former spy in Salisbury, the PM says.
Theresa May said the diplomats, who have a week to leave, were identified as "undeclared intelligence officers".
Russia denies being involved in the attempted murder of former spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia.
It refused to meet Mrs May's midnight deadline to co-operate in the case.

Where's the evidence proving Russian involvement.
Nonsense.

What a sad circus! I hope people in Britain not too keen on buying bullshit.

[LMAO-efip]

I'm a brit and I am with Russia! she does not speak for us

[tairikuokami]

I have listened to the whole thing (3 hours), let me sum it up for you. You are welcome. 99% comments were like this one:

I applaud the prime minister for her actions in this matter and may I suggest to do even more (ban/sanction/etc).
-> I thank the honorable member for his support and I assure you, that I will do all, that it is my power, to do it.

Prime minister, I would like to ask, do you have any proof, that this was indeed done by Russian goverment?
Considering, that the war in Iraq was due the presence of chemical weapons, which proved to be false later.
-> I am shocked, that you would ask such a question. It was Russian gas, therefore it was Russian government.
-> We should ban RT News/Sputnik as well and persecute anyone, who doubts the official theory, as the terrorist.

You'll destroy the world.

Don't listen to our corrupt politicians, we the British love our Russian brothers and sisters, we were allies during two wars. Our politicians do as they want not the will of the British people. People don't want wars only governments do.

[D.M.S.]

Yes, it maybe was Russia or not.
Yes, this might be a logical step or not.
But following the Brexit negotiations don't seem to work the way May wants it, she is looking for a new topic to tacle. She reminds me of Thatcher in that way, but Russia is not Argentina

[kostas]

What a side show. I can't believe that Britain will stoop so low, that doesn't have one single politician with a little dignity. Of course you can only feel this way if you don't believe any of this and I don't.

[alexkhromov]

Who is buying into it for god's sake... Russia is keen on playing in geopolitical games now bur I doubt that even the cruelest dictatorship would act in such a foolish and reckless manner.
Start thinking for yourselves, people.

[misterZM]

Dear Englishmen, think with your head. Look for someone who benefits. And yes, it seems to me that May started the menopause again

[shirley]

lol, you can’t be trusted to tell the truth. It’s a shame you aren’t as concerned about islamic terrorist inn our country.
Your new Bogey man has a lot of respect in this country.

[BIGDYL]

Britainistan would be speaking German if it weren't for Russia

[edmundblackadder]

Ok she's hardline on this but not the EU? Like wtf?

[cenkuyger]

This woman is too irrational to be in such a position of power.

[ianthompson]

Maybe someone stumbled across Saddam's chemical weapon stash and decided to have a bit of fun!

Where is your story on Telford? You know the place where children were groomed, drugged and raped, and the police did nothing about it for years because they didn't want to be called racist?

[MABGaming]

Talks about how Russia has a secret weapons program

Like we the British don't hahahahahahha

[nopretribrapture]

Got a horrible feeling that this is another ploy that may add to the escalation of possible future conflict of some sort..😢 any other nations inplay to cause a rift between us and Russia? ??
