This (in)action been telegraphed for weeks. The cash has gone, it takes minutes to move that to the safe havens that have always been there for them.
The desperation now is to convert the properties, investments et al, into cash quickly and move it.
The 18 month leeway granted to them will make things much easier. Everyone will make their owns minds up about why this was granted.
Some specialist lawyers claim that even school fees would be difficult to pay, so even now some are paying the fees for years ahead.
The husband of a friend of my wife is forensic accountant, he claims the government are spreading BS about the “difficulties”of enacting things more quickly.
Starmer was quite clever at PMQ’s. While emphasising how he wanted to work cross party, at the same posing questions about the speed at which sanctions are being implemented, which had Johnson floundering badly. Then saying of course the opposition would back the bill on Monday, and in the spirit of cross bench co-operation to speed up the action….There would be amendments.
So now if the Tories won’t back these amendments and vote for them, which will be difficult.The excrement hits the air con

Some sanctions if their kids can still use schools here that prohibit the vast majority of UK kids through their fees.

You're right it could, but they are just as much victims of this crime as the innocents of Ukraine. A large proportion of the Russian Army is conscript, they are called up given some training on which end of the AK goes bang and sent to the conflict. Many who have been captured didn't even know they were in Ukraine and others thought that they were to be welcomed by their oppressed Ukrainian "brothers". Even the ones who want to fight have been lied to with tales of Russian "security" threatened, genocide, etc.

And he has still not condemned the actions of Russia.

It’s not a 50/50 scenario as most conflicts are, it’s mechanised slaughter by the largest army on the planet.

What alternative does he have? He would get a needle in his leg within days if he spoke out.
 
There was a Sanctions lawyer, yes they do exist, on the radio this morning saying that people just don’t fully realise the staggering amount of Russian investment in London and the UK.

I said before the invasion would London survive without Russian money as it is so deep rooted within the city.
 
It might be deep rooted, I doubt it's less than 1%. That's a guess. I am sure there is a lot more dirty money than just Russian.

Chinese, Middle East, African ....
 
I'm sure it never even crossed Terry's mind that he might be seen as being political when he posted that.
I think if you attribute that sort of self-awareness to him then you are being far, far too generous.

The current Tory party Ben Elliot has removed a page from his website. For about 10 plus years he’s been running what amounts to a concierge service for wealthy Russians both here and elsewhere. That info is no longer in his site.

That’s only one of the reasons that sanctions are not been slapped on those in the UK immediately.
Also the main reason for the allowance of time for them to offload assets. There is nothing in law, in fact, there is no way any lawyers can object to a client being sanctioned.
The Tories are so far into this corrupt and criminal quagmire, in fact some could be charged if it was exposed now.
So, no assets and cash….no charges or investigations.

“ If Roman Abramovich has been forced to sell Chelsea, shouldn't Lubov Chernukhin be forced to sell the Conservative Party?” (not mine)
 
Yep, a complete hall of mirrors, statements made to look strong to the people while protecting their own personal interests and time to cover their tracks.
 
Just remembered that Conservative Party chair, Ben Elliot,

Is the Nephew of Camilla Parker-Bowles.

The Duchess of Cornwall.

That’s a box that will never be opened…did he give them investment advice?
