As for this subject I am fed up with it all as its a right pigs ear.

I doubt Detective Sergeant Nick Bailey or the Skripals think of it in that way.

I find it a bit reassuring that the poison has been identified, being of russian origin; also that Skripal has been obviously observed by russian personnel in the last months. And they tell that.. now?

1. If the english services knew about that, why didn't they protect better? The russians are right, if this is english protection.. they love treachery, but not the traitor.
2. How could Johnson (or anyone, for that matter) boast about the alleged culprits without having any evidence?

He is protected by Parliament regulations so he can spout off that guff.

If Russia was in the dock the judge would have to find them not guilty due to lack of evidence. The reporting of this news story in the media has been crass at times. Its one of those stories the media has to whip out their milking machine and milk it to death.

Who did it?

MOSCOW - Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Saturday the nerve agent used to poison former Russian spy Sergei Skripal in Britain could have been the BZ substance - which was never produced in the Soviet Union or Russia.

Lavrov said experts from a laboratory based in the Swiss town of Spiez had analyzed a sample of the substance used in the poisoning.

Citing a report from the lab dated March 27, Lavrov said the evidence suggested the nerve agent used could be in the arsenal of the United States and Britain.

Lavrov read out parts of the report that he said showed the substance had traces of the BZ agent.

Ok it is Lavrov, russian desinformation and all that.

[Mr Quatro]

Just an accident, right?

“They did an MRI scan, an Xray, there were no fractures.

“Doctors wanted me to stay in hospital, but I said: ’b****r you, I’m not sticking around here.”

Can't say I blame him

Alexei Navalny: Russia opposition leader poisoned with Novichok - Germany

Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny was poisoned with a Novichok nerve agent, Germany's government says.
It said toxicology tests at a military laboratory showed ""unequivocal proof" of an agent from the Novichok group.
Mr Navalny was airlifted to Berlin for treatment after falling ill during a flight in Russia's Siberia region last month. He has been in a coma since.
His team says he was poisoned on President Vladimir Putin's orders. The Kremlin has dismissed the allegation.
The German government said it condemned the attack in the strongest terms and called for Russia urgently to provide an explanation.
"It is a disturbing development that Alexei Navalny was the victim of a chemical nerve agent in Russia," it said.
