Can Putin ever be believed again ??
These guys come to the UK for 2 nights. On successive days they visit Salisbury, then return home on the evening of the second day. Oh please, you came just to see the Cathederal

Sometimes you need a good fried breakfast. Just the restaurants in Moscow can't do them right.

And it's totally plausible that Russian tourists were discouraged by snow, which of course they're not at all used to.

I would say "they were there for something other than being tourists"
Smuggling porn into the UK used to be big business, forget the name of it, but the video the girl that did all those animals made fortunes being smuggled into the UK.
Smuggling sex slaves into the UK has been huge for quite awhile now too, has to do with the girls not having passports, they are not considered people so cant press charges. Their "owners" simply take their passports.
At least that was the case last time I heard, a year or so ago.
So, there are reasons a person might want to be a "tourist" in the UK that dont have to do with assassinations.
I doubt very much a pro assassin would allow themselves to be caught on so many cctv cameras, especially not in disguise.
On the other hand, the Brits are trying everything they can to demonize the Russians, recall the brits having "saved" the world by accompanying Russian ships in the english channel? The list goes on.
Right now, the Jews,Brits,Yanks and Frogs are warming up to attack the Russians,Syrians,Jordanians and Iranians in the middle east.
It is standard practice to get your people to believe they are the "good" guys when they go to war.
I read a very "uplifting" article the other day, the author had reasoned the military leaders understand what the politicians and neocons are after and what the consequences would be, the author didnt believe the military leaders would be stupid enough to "push any buttons".
I like to think he is right.

LOL. Who believed him before?
He's a KGB officer. If you know anything about the KGB, you'd know that they live, eat, sleep and breathe deception. Every day in training centres around a different way to deceive people. If a KGB agent tells me it's a bright, sunny day, I grab my umbrella.
