Messing with Russia is a very dangerous game at the moment as well.
Russia annexes Crimea.
NATO offers to supply Ukraine with weapons.
Putin "reminds" the West that Russia is a still a nuclear power.
The West tiptoes quickly away...
Russia then supports an armed rebellion in eastern Ukraine.
The West does nothing.
Putin is a psychopath, and he's called our bluff. Short of starting WWIII there is nothing that can really be done. And no-one is going to start a war over a former spy being poisoned.

Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
Boris will now summon the Russian ambassador, say cross words to him and make it clear that he thinks Mr. Putin is a very naughty man, and if he ever does anything like it again the British government will take stern action and threaten to fart in the general direction of Russia.

That actually ups the stakes a fair bit, you f**k with me I'll kill you and your family is a bit different.
Joking aside it’s a very worrying situation.
It reminds me of the 800lb gorilla gag- where does a 800lb gorilla sit? Anywhere he wants to, so short of sending May to sit on Putin's face there really isn't much BoJo can do.
So there is no point in trying to threaten Russia. The only effect will be to make us look even weaker than we already do.
More resources for the security services is probably the best practical step.

On the bright side, at least we now know the grub at Zizzi’s is still OK to eat.

Also, set up a covert 'Fancy Badgers' hacking team and ruin a few Russian networks, publish a few TUE's etc. : >
