British Consulate General in St. Petersburg officially closed




British ambassador to Russia Laurie Bristow announced the completion of the work of the British Consulate General in St. Petersburg. On Monday, the flag of Britain was lowered in the presence of. Consul General in St. Petersburg Elizabeth Webb, First Consul General Barbara Hay, former Consul General Sangita Ahuji and Deputy Ambassador of Great Britain to Russia Lindsey Skoll. The ceremony was also attended by the ex-head of the British Council in Russia, Michael Byrd.

Recall that the British Consulate General was closed as one of the retaliatory measures against the expulsion of Russian diplomats by the British authorities after Russia was accused of alleged involvement in the poisoning of the Novichok gas by the defector Skripal and his daughter. In response to the expulsion of 23 Russian diplomats from the UK, Russia responded symmetrically and declared 23 diplomatic employees of the British Embassy persona non grata, and also announced the withdrawal of consent to the opening and operation of the British Consulate General in St. Petersburg. The completion of the work of the British Council in Russia was also announced.

          So I'm talking about it too, it’s all dust in the eyes for the electorate, it would be better if we reduced ourselves in England, most likely we’ve bought more than one mansion, the parasites are preparing to molt, as I hate this kodla! Now the last skin will be removed, and then they will broadcast from the same London, as they were not understood by a dumb backgammon.

          It is also necessary to rename the English embankment. Maybe in Richard III or on the street of betrayal?

          The study led to an unexpected result.

          In the process of genetic comparison of Richard III with his living male relatives, it turned out that infidelity was frequent in the dynasty of English monarchs, leading to false paternity. So the right to the throne of the entire Tudor dynasty is now in doubt.

          And reporters from The Daily Mail, guided by these data, questioned the legitimacy of the British Queen Elizabeth II. This is due to the fact that the founder of the Tudor dynasty, Henry VII, justified his right to the throne by kinship with John Gaunt - the son of Edward III. Moreover, if John Gaunt was not the son of Edward III, then there are serious questions for the British Queen.

          It turns out that Elizabeth II, who is a relative of Henry VII through James I and Mary Stuart, may not have any rights to the throne.

Now, with a British visa, Russians will have the same problems as with an American one, that is, they can’t get it in any way (in Moscow, it’s a year ahead), and there are many who go to study there.

      - Well, in the fourth, who needs to leave through other channels, if only they would not interfere with us.
      And in general we lived, we live and we will live without any visas, and visas only for major liberals, pathos beau monde and so on. The sanctions are visible and let them continue - we will not be worse, let their head hurt.

      The problem is that Canada is rather 51 American states, and not a colony of the Empire, 70 years old, which has broken up. They themselves already have their own owners, their former colony.

        The head of state of Canada (and another 14 countries) is Elizabeth II, God's Grace the Queen of the United Kingdom, Canada and other kingdoms and territories, the Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith. The prime minister of Canada swears allegiance to the queen, and not to some people. IMHO, England has more influence on the SGA than the SGA on England. The English throne does not limit itself to all sorts of constitutions, like Israel.

    As it is now, British and American diplomatic missions are not needed at all. A nursery of any seditious infection, teeming with spies in embassy tailcoats. In general, they don’t teach anything good, they don’t treat their whiskey, on the contrary, they all want our vodka to drink with a bowl of caviar. What for are they needed?
    In the Soviet school, we really studied English and English culture according to Shakespeare and Carroll, James Barry and Conan Doyle, Graham Green, John Galsworthy and Redyard Kipling, touched gingerbread houses and Cheshire cats. Then they started reading A Clockwork Orange, then listening to English rock music. In general, I do not know where our "elite" has such an indestructible craving for everything British, apparently from poor education and a lot of money in the City of London, because the UK is, in general, a well-promoted myth about a fairy-tale country.
