Some state organisation wanted him dead and tried to kill, I still suspect the Russians but it could have been a joint venture, killing him now shows Russia’s power abroad and they’re (FSB) legally are allowed to murder on the Kremlins behalf now (done so last year?).
Years ago the Soviets would have got the Bulgarians to do it but now they have to do it themselves and they’re good at it, Georgia, Chechyna and the UK and lots of places we haven’t heard about, of course state sponsored killing happens here as well but it happens in every nation, what interest would we have? It could have been a deal between the two nations? Again I wouldn’t be surprised.
Wouldn’t be surprised if the UK did it to deflect from all of the other shit going on e.g. Brexit, Syria, cozying up to Saudi Arabia etc etc. Must have been us cos we even managed to poison one of our own rozzers in the process…amateurs
Ultimately though, it’s less about who did it but how. I mean for FFS they used to make a point by dumping the bodies in the canals of Amsterdam - but it was spy v spy. This was a fucking nerve agent released without any concern for additional innocent victims- to me it could just as easily be the opposite if amateur and something more frightening- a message of how easy it is to do this on UK soil. I think those who did this wanted to make it scary and public for other motives …
The most exciting thing to happen in Salisbury since Stonehenge was a house party a few of us gatecrashed in 1991 which was full of St Swithuns girls and had Tracy the Westbury Gobbler, doing a turn to anyone who had a spare bottle of Thunderbird.
Not really. Most exciting time was 1991 when agen 23 would dress up in drag and gate crash St Swithuns - wouldcall myself Tracy from Westbury and cadge free thunderbird
I was listening to the news tonight and heard that they’d _sent _200 chemical weapons specialists into Salisbury. They would not have had far to go, given that our chemical weapons research centre, the oldest in the world, is just up the road.
Aldermarston. It’s pretty much about sending a message now. They’ve identified the nerve agent, it’s not sarin or VX it can be traced to a lab in Russia. It’s Putin leaving a calling card.
He did the same thing with Litvinenko, Polonium is the most traceable agent. MI5 traced Lugavoi from his hotel to the plane and back to Moscow, there was a literal radiation trail
If the hypothetical man from Mars were weighing up the most aggressive warmongers since the end of the Cold War, taking into account international law, do you think Russia would come top?
Another question.
Is this statement without evidence:-
a) The random SaintBristol statements we’ve come to know and love.
b) The random TedMaul statements we’ve come to know and love.
c) A strict adherence to Official BBC Reporting Standards (now evidence free).
d) All of the above.
