Something is wrong in United Kingdom

British businessmen are unhappy with the collapse of cooperation with Russia because of the far-fetched "Skripal case" ...

Russia\'s trade representative in the UK, Boris Abramov, said that representatives of the British business community expressed support for Russian colleagues in connection with the so-called \"Skripal case\". According to him, \"anti-Russian hysteria\", artificially fueled by the government of the United Kingdom, seriously impedes joint economic projects.

\"Ironically, we received support from our British partners, when some Russian diplomats were expelled from the UK. These were mainly those businessmen who are actively doing business in Russia, respectively, they see a real picture and situation on the Russian market and see a good attitude of the Russian Federation to themselves. Therefore, the view of these businessmen differs from the official position of the British authorities\", Abramov stressed.

Meanwhile, British Prime Minister Teresa May and her entourage continue to fan anti-Russian sentiments. The newly-minted \"Iron Lady\" seeks to maintain the post of head of government in the face of the apparent failure of Brexit and the growth of socio-economic problems. May seeks to unite around herself former supporters from the Conservative Party, who are thoroughly disappointed in their leader.

That is why, the British prime minister accused the Russian security services of poisoning the former \"double agent\" Sergei Skripal and his daughter immediately as it became known about the incident in Salisbury. May is profitable to present Russia as a new \"evil empire\", and herself as a reliable defender of interests not only of Britain, but of the entire Western world.

However, many in the United Kingdom are unhappy that May preferred personal interests to the interests of the country. The Prime Minister\'s team not only failed to solve the existing economic difficulties, but also created new ones. The government of the United Kingdom dealt a significant blow, first of all, on local business, blocking joint Russian-British business projects.
