Almost Nobody is Above the Law Rent Free

Sanctioning oligarchs may be all very well, especially when they are given thirty days to protect their assets from undue punishment; but one should not take things to extremes. The master race could hardly continue to punch above its weight on the global stage were it to condone the lesser breeds in disrespect for private property. Hence the Metropolitan Firearms and Headbangers' Club has duly liberated a disused mansion from occupation by protesters, who had hung slogans from a balcony and demanded to be sent a questionnaire like the party-going National Johnson. Although at least one of the burglars admitted to being foreign, they were apparently too Caucasian to be tasered, let alone shot; which will no doubt draw protest from the more moderate and sensible factions of British Putinism.
