It's a delayed retaliation because the UK government refused to extend a visa for a Russian journalist based in London.

That's the excuse being given, seeing as foreign journalists falling from balconies is frowned upon...

I think I'd prefer the deportation option.

It's a shame the country looked more "Democratic" when she first began reporting there..
Her final comment was something on the line of, Russia is going backwards.....!

Sarah has taken up the post for "the next few months" as Central/Eastern Europe correspondent at the BBC after being expelled from Russia . Doing lots of reporting since Russia invaded Ukraine.. Still a thorn in Putin's side..!

Being expelled from Russia as a threat to Putin is the ultimate badge of honour. What a thing to have on your CV. I doubt she'll ever be unemployed with that in her background.
