Are you serious?
The UK can't "do anything to Russia" that amounts to more than shooting peas at an attack helicopter.
"Oh yes I know that the United States of America - the world's largest military and an economic superpower - hasn't been able to effectively tackle Russia's bull**** for the past half century or more... But hey... Theresa May's finally going to give them what for!"

you are incorrect re. the west not tackling russia - we won the cold war.
as for now, nobody is saying we should be starting another war!
but at the same time we cannot just ignore yet another incident like that
it's all about appropriate response.
some people in russia (putin etc) never gave up on russian empire and try to turn the clock back any way they can. they can't compete economically, so they do it by force (crimea, georgia, ukraine) or they resort to dirty tricks like trying to destabilise the west from the inside
we need to start reacting, not ignoring it coz it will make them even bolder
