If people protested against their government in London like they're protesting in Moscow, Priti Patel could lock them up for up to 10 years. We're not much of a democracy either. (Borrowed from Twitter.)
Very true. Johnson has been wetting himself waiting for this to happen. Causes all press to be focused elsewhere and keeps the peeps here busy whilst he does not a lot to 'sanction' Putin.

Russia has stragetically moved its economy away from the dollar and the west for many years now.
