Over the past 20 years there's been 14 Russian assassinations on our soil and what have we done? I was working near Weybridge when Alexander Perepilichny was murdered and as an ex estate agent I know estate agents in that area are on the continual lookout for extremely wealthy Russians. A lot of mansions in Weybridge, Sunningdale and Bagshot are owned by Russians billionaires and millionaires who benefitted from the Kremlins wrongdoings and for too long they've been given anonymity regarding how they got their wealth.

Whilst I don't deny there are some nice Russians living here. There are far too many oligarch's. We can't carry on being a clearing house for corrupt dirty money. A Russian can become a domicile in Britain for a £million.

I doubt this assassin or assassins have flown back to Russia. Its likely they were living here under the lap of luxury until called upon by the Russian government.

What we are not going to do (and I think we should) is stop the oligarch's because the money is too attractive. Since the end of the Cold War these people have filtered something like £16billion into our country.
