Hit them where it hurts. Freeze their bank accounts and publish Putin's financial assets.

3 ( +5 / -2 )

There is so much Russian money sloshing around the London property and financial markets that it is possible to hit the regime where it hurts - in their pockets.

The British government gained a new power earlier this year - the unexplained wealth order - which can freeze and confiscate assets unless you can legitimately show how you came by the money. This could be used very effectively against figures associated with the Putin regime.

Russia shouldn’t play such a childish game. Just quietly wait for a whistleblower to come forth and sue the f out of racists. No proof yet and no information sharing.

The most surprising thing of this witchunt for me is that of the 5 countries that make this nerve agent...Sweden is one!

Murdering people is not a game but Russia does it freely as part of policy. Hardly surprising when your dictator is ex-KGB.

Thereare only a handful of countries with the capability to pull off this attack and one with a strong motive and history of doing so: Russia.

What's the "strong motive"?

and history of doing so: Russia

There's a few other countries with a history. Israel, US, UK. But don't let history get in the way of your emotions.

Freeze their bank accounts

Whose bank accounts? The bad guys' presumably, but how to tell them from the good guys? Of course, the UK Conservative party have no trouble understanding the differences among Russian oligarchs. Something to do with the clothes they wear when sipping cocktails on their luxury yachts. Ah, the benefits of a good education. I must have missed out.
