Re: The argument is a bit beyond Priti Patel
Ah yes, a foreign agent, tasked with killing someone on British soil, is very likely to get on a rickety boat, which has a huge likelihood of cap sizing or being intercepted.
It's obviously also the best environment for hiding poison or weapons as of course, you'll be plenty dry wearing those 10 layers of clothing.... Don't want to get cold as you drown, after all!
I bet you also think real crims tell the good guys their whole wicked plan before killing them?
