    Oh no, the poor Russian

    Maybe he should follow through and set up a charitable foundation with no ties to him to receive the money like he said he would

      Think what you want of him that’s absolutely fair.

      My point is purely that it’s wild that a government can do something like that.

      Imagine now tomorrow morning they show up at your door kick you out and say you have to sell up but they are keeping the money?

        Right! But… if you illegally invaded another country, committed war crimes and thrown elections across the free world. Maybe, just maybe, the democratically elected government in which you reside might want to use that for good. Rather, than say, more cluster bombs on children?

          But they aren’t using it for good.

          They are collecting interest on the money.

          The British government doesn’t hold any high ground now let’s be honest.
