No one wants armed conflict, no one has suggested it yet as I understand but we have a military to be prepared to protect citizens.
If using military grade nerve agents on our soil on a busy street is not a reason to lock down and protect citizens then what is? (Disclaimer obviously if it can be proven to have been a government ordered hit)

Why emotional blackmail? It could become a reality. If we ever do go to war with Russia we will need a lot more than are disbanded armed services.
Why is it emotional blackmail when May has just walked us back into the bowels of a Cold War? This isn't some random country in the Middle East, its Russia, a country that's could quickly wipe us out.
Why wasn't plan B implemented? France, Italy and the Labour government are asking that same question.
I'm not saying something didn't need doing... clearly it did, but we've done this on a strong hunch and nothing more.
