UK Expels 4 Russian Diplomats

Well its started
Russia wont allow Andrei Lugovoi to stand trial in the UK so the UK has booted 4 Russian Diplomats out.
I wonder if this is going to escalate into a tit for tat expulsion game?

Well, it's started, UK wont let Berezovski to Brazil or Russia of any other country other then UK itself to arrest him.
So members of this site know -- Berezovsky is a thief. Plain thief. Nothing more. He is wanted world wide but UK keeps him as a person of convinience, like a boogie man, a joker, having nothing to do with his 'political assulim' more a an exchange card --- he-he---just sounds funny..A thief...a juvenile thief. Like US during 1920's. This kind of a thief.
One more thing,...just do not call him 'Russian'. He is Jewish.

As far as I was aware, he is only wanted in Russia. the UK actually has an extradition agreement with Brazil now, so if they wanted him, they could go through the process....

Funny. He stands accused of tax evasion, but is also an outspoken critic of Putin. Seems that any big businessman in Russia who Putin doesn't like, seems to suddenly have tax problems...

So? You can have Russian Jews, the same as Russian Christians. One's nationality isn't determined by your religion, unless your saying Russia discriminates? Are you?
