Pathetic Boris calling the Russians smug and sarcastic, such an irony.

Russia never produced it, it was Soviet made and done in Uzbekistan.
Anyway if Britain is going to bring double agents and give them asylum, what you expect the Russians to do?
Say, Hey what a charitable act, gents?

The fact is Britain in pursuit of monies, have taken dozens of Russians who are not flavour of the month in Moscow. And proudly milking them both financially and for PR one-upmanship. And then they expect the Russians to be a-ok with it.
