Well those bad old days are back, diplomats are being thrown out of the UK and Russia. But the circumstances are different, the Cold War is over and both the UK and Russia have developed greater economic ties. The incident that started the problem is not something you can dismiss, killing someone with Nuclear Material in London the Capital of the UK. In the Cold War days that could have been seen as an Act of War. Views is a realist but there are lines you do not cross in covert action in another country, nuclear use is one of them, what if the operation had killed more people or a dirty bomb situation had developed. The UK government has to be firm follow its present policy but on the other hand back channels should be in constant use, the world is very dangerous at the moment, talking is important in this age of mass terrorism.
