SCRIPALS POISONING - SOME NEW DEVELOPMENTS

SCRIPALS POISONING - SOME NEW DEVELOPMENTS The two Russians wanted by UK police were located in Russia & interviewed by RT. Their alibi sounded unconvincing but might nevertheless be true.Supposedly they are very interested in cathedrals,& made a lightning visit to UK as tourists with the intention of visiting Salisbury Cathedral,famous for it's very tall spire,though it's far from being our most<b> famous </font></b>cathedral,or the most interesting. St.Pauls in London is<b> famous </font></b>for being designed by Sir Cristopher Wren as a replacement for the prevous one destroyed in the Gt,Fire of London in 1666. It also miraculously survived the blitz in 1940,despite the surrounding area being gutted by incendiaries. Canterbury is<b> famous </font></b>for being the site of the martyrdom of St .Thomas a-Beckett,& was a destination for pilgrims for many centuries. Worcester Cathedral is<b> famous </font></b>as the burial place of the wicked King John (brother of Richard 1st) & for the effigy on his tomb. According to the accused Russians,they went to Salisbury to view the Cathedral for an hour,then returned to Russia via their hotel, The timing of their visit with the bungled assassination was pure coincidence,they claimed. They did not explain why their hotel room was allegedly contaminated with nerve agent or why they suffered no ill-effects from it,nor did several subsequent occupants of the room. While their explanation cannot be dismissed out of hand,it sounds rather unlikely that 2 Russians in their 40s have such an obsession with cathedrals that they would make such a journey in what was effectively winter,to look at that particular one. However,there is no law against being eccentric,& unlikely coincidences do sometimes happen.If I made such a journey to see St.Basil's in Moscow,people who knew me would think it very odd indeed. The 2 men were reluctant to say how they earned a living,but eventually said they were in the health & fitness business. More likely than not their testimony was a pack of lies,but that doesn't prove that Putin sent them. He would have been mad to do so. We need to establish whether they had time to coat the Skripals' door handle with the very inferior nerve agent used (barely good enough to be used as weed killer or pesticide) before their visit to the cathedral & before the Skripals had left for their stroll around Salisbury.If I had been given this job,I would have done it at night - to do it brazenly in daylight would surely have been tempting providence.We need evidence that one or both these men were loitering near the Skripals' house before the Skripals left for their walkabout. Fingerprint evidence from the notorious scent bottle would be conclusive. Very risky to carry it in a suitcase,a customs inspector might have taken a sniff to check that it really was perfume! Top quality,military grade nerve agent is so deadly that a drop the size of a pinhead getting on your skin would kill you within minutes,& a drop the size of a tear drop is enough to kill 10 men. We also need evidence that they were sent by Putin or a member of his government & an explanation of why they were so badly trained & equipped. Why was Putin allegedly willing to risk alienating Trump & damaging his already fragile relations with the West when he could have murdered Skripal quietly & out of sight while he was in a Russian prison for 7 years? Mrs.May,who voted for the disastrous invasion of Iraq,says the evidence is clear (just as it was in the case of Iraq). It's not clear to me. What is clear is that successive British governments are serial blunderers,as well as being crooks & liars. |
