  1. In the face of so much evidence… it’s about time to do the smart thing.

  2. Im very proud of my countries politicians for making this non-debatable. You wont hear russian propaganda here.

  4. Why is Britian so threatened by a country using Donkeys in a war and is using shovels

  6. Ruzia is the existential enemy of the British. Much respect to this powerful nation for not bowing to the threats and blackmail of the muscovites as America is doing it now with the Trump administration.

  7. So the nerve agent attack on British soil wasn’t a dead giveaway?

  10. Yeah, because of the very famous British-Russian phantom border. Land invasion could start any day now. I don’t see why Russia sees UK as a potential threat. They can supply other countries with a high-tech, but UK is certainly not a security threat to Russia if unprovoked.

  13. Yet for the past 20 years London schools and universities had been filled with the offspring of russian oligarchs. Hell, one of the top dogs in Moscow owned one of the biggest football clubs in the country for 19 years and the masses cheered (and still do) for him. I’m afraid massive damage has already been done.

  14. And what are we going to do about it ? Send another strongly worded letter ?

  17. About bloody time. 

    When the Skripal incident happened the russian embassy to the UK was actively taunting and disparaging UK efforts to solve a crime *involving a chemical agent only russia owned*.

    Already at that time it was quite obvious that Russia’s main goal was to spread a much chaos and discord as possible in the West.

  18. It took me a while to parse that headline.

    Russia formally declared … So Russia declared something formally … How do you declare a national security threat to another country?

  19. So let me get this straight, if I’m a Russian or Chinese spy, I have to declare it on a form, kinda defeats the purpose of said spyng gig.

  20. Are we bombing them or are they wanting to bomb us ?

  21. The fact that this didn’t happen all over Europe in 2014 is wild.

  22. Only taken 8 months to clear the Conservative backlog from ohhh 2018

  25. 500 years of rivalry with a brief 30 year interlude and now we are back in business!

  26. Hey their 20 years behind the mark, but better late than never. The next best time would have been 10 years ago as well, but ya know.

  27. >”Russian agents working on behalf of Putin will be forced to register their activities or face five years in jail”

    Does this extend to the Trump family?

  28. It’s nearly a decade late, but I guess it’s better late than never.

  29. So can we now investigate Johnson for getting the son of a KGB agent a Lordship?

    Or how about the funding for Brexit? Those who received money from Russia to help break up the EU and destabilise our Economy should be on Trial for Treason.

    And lets just go whole hog, apologise profusely to the EU for our behaviour, and ask if we can just go back to how it was pre-2016, wipe out the last 9 years as a mistake.

    If we had to sacrifice the Pound for the Euro to get back all our old trading deals etc, I think it would be worth it at this point.

  30. Does this have any bearing on diplomatic relations? It must make things tense at the Russian embassy in London with this sort of announcement.

  31. Can we cancel brexit now and stop taking payments for Russia to keep out of Europe?

  32. Good. Now investigate the origin of political donations to certain individuals.

  33. Took us a while. Though the threat declaring people are only in office Tuesdays 10-12. So no surpise

  34. I’m sleeping downstairs from now on. That way, I don’t have to go near any of the windows upstairs in my house.

  35. They fund the far right and assassinated people on our land, but sure, NOW they’re an issue.

  36. As a Brit, I’m surprised this wasn’t done much sooner.

  37. Ok, wtf is that title? I mean from news article, not post. Is that so hard to add “is”?

  38. This should’ve been done as soon as Litvinenko was poisoned in 2006.
