It's terrible the way people are saying these two Russian tourists carried out the Novichok poisoning.

Sure Salisbury Cathedral is world famous and it's every Russian's dream to visit it.

Sure anybody could fly from Moscow to London, immediately travel to Salisbury in the snow before immediately returning to London, then travelling to Salisbury again the following day, again staying for only a very short time, before returning to London and flying back to Russia.

And leave traces of Novichok in your room in London.

Nothing suspicious about that at all, no siree, and a perfectly plausible story.

This is all a propaganda campaign.

There was no Russian attack, or something.

It was MI5
Yeah, defo. And it was also MI5 who were picked up by the Dutch while on their way to break into the Swiss lab testing the Novichok.

And it was definitely MI5 who killed Litvinenko and all the other Russians who were bumped off in England.

All MI5.

Nothing to do with Russia.

Nothing.

The last time I heard an explanation as preposterous as the Russians' explanation for the Salisbury posioning was when Father Ted tried to explain why he stole a whistle.

But that was an actual comedy show, where the jokes are intentional.

To be fair, the Russians' comedy show here is too, but in a different and much more sinister sort of way.

By spinning such an obviously preposterous, slapstick yarn, they are proving yet again that their whole foreign policy is based on denying the very notion of objective truth, while simultaneously laughing between their teeth. And asking what anybody else is going to do about it. So far, the answer is very little.

It's like when the cartoon Fidel Castro got handed a trilion dollar bill by Homer Simpson and immediately denied all knowledge of it.

Amazingly enough, there seems to be a hell of a lot of simpletons out there that actually fall for this stuff.

Russia basically sticking two fingers up at the UK by parading these guys on TV and them reciting this bullshit story. Russia doesn't give one f**k.
Interestingly I see they are engaging in a huge war games exercise with the Chinese. Cold War 2.0 on the horizon?

The two meerkats were comical😂 Still doesn't answer how the Skripals came in contact with the novichok, as Sergi left his home at 9.15 on the Sunday and didn't return, and the meerkats were only seen in the house's vicinity after 11😂 Then we have the government refusing a visa to the Skripal's relative, and the miracle of the three people affected recovering, despite it being deadly😂
I hope Salisbury capitalises on this miracle and turns it into a site that could rival Knock or Lourdes😂

At this stage I'd settle for CW2.0 over WW3.0

This is very funny. I can't decide which bit is best but I'm going with "Travel documents used by Petrov are marked as 'top secret'"

Weed and Hookers?

Surely top class spies would pick up women (with a connection to their adversary) at a high class casino?  They wouldn't be paying to get their end away.  Also their quartermaster would give the a briefcase of money to be buying coke, good coke too not the chopped to shit variety the rest of us put up with.

I think what happened was that when the Skripals took ill in the restaurant the manager said 'it's no joke'.....and .....well you know the rest😜

I see Putin poisoned Alexei Navalny, the only real opposition figure of note in Russia

Now he's stopping the transporting of Navalny for potential life saving treatment in Germany

Afraid the Germans will find a substance only available to the Russian regime, no doubt

If by some miracle Biden gets into the White House, he needs to bleed the fascist despot Putin and the Russian regime dry

Probably a couple of "tourists" visiting a cathedral in Siberia whodunnit, I suppose

Definitely not Putin, definitely not, it would be mad to think that

QuoteRussian 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 to urgently provide an explanation.

"It is a disturbing development that Alexei Navalny was the victim of a chemical nerve agent in Russia," it said.

Russia lied about its Covid figures - well knock me down with a feather, this is a big shock, I mean who would have believed the Russian government would have lied

Instead of 55k dead, it's 186k

I wouldn't visit a fourth floor balcony any time soon if I was Deputy PM Golikova
