What do we do / what are the likely outcomes if it... Is

[Fausty]

As an American, I'm highly confused by this secrecy of 'it'. What is it?

[Wiggles]

Russian secret sauce.

Oh.

Salisbury Steak

On both of the previous occasions this year when Salisbury city centre was closed for a 'medical incident', it turned out to be the result of a Russian chemical attack. Hopefully this time it's just a precaution

The chef accidentally put highly toxic/radioactive isotopes in the food again. What a silly fellow he is.

Shit, with that bit locked down that means both ways into salisbury by car are blocked. That's gotta be a pain to get to work in.

[Pie_Savvy]

Those crazy innocent Russian tourists are at it again!

This has been going around shit sources for a while but I didn't wanna post it until there was a decent one reporting it

Must be one of these many Russian tourists who fly in for the weekend just to visit Salisbury cathedral that I've heard so much about.

[fruxodaily]

Probably just a few Russian men who decided to visit the UK for 3 days and take a random pit stop in Salisbury, nothing sus

[Hey I'm Grump!]

Russian secret sauce is vodka, goes great with some chicken nuggets

[Borealis]

Should press the EU to try more to be independent of Russian energy resources, hit them where they care

[Archival]

If only brexit didn't go through that might be a possibility.

well, i am guessing that the Royal Navy is still hundreds of miles beyond the Russian navy, they could probably do a good job at holding a blockade. they'd have to march through the rest of europe to get to them. additionally, GB has nukes and I really don't think Russia is stupid enough to use them anyways. i imagine if military action were to be taken against them, it would be at a proxy conflict, say, against Russian positions in Syria.

It was unrelated!
