Yet UK is one of the main destinations for Russian capital to this day. Sanctions were a joke prior to 2022 and even after 2022 they still are.

What are you suggesting a better response would have been?

I live 30 km away from a Belarussian border (so, for all intents and purposes Russian), so I am biased towards extreme measures, as Russia historically does not respond to anything else.

However, after multiple UK citizens were harmed on UK soil calling that response "significant" anything is frankly a joke.

OK. What would a significant, proportionate, and non-military response have been?

You said there was significant response, I have commented on that to say that response has been anything but.

As I already said, personally I am afraid that we're beyond the point where any non-military response would be proportionate, but that is not what my initial comment was about.
