Perhaps Gromit means that May is performing her expected role of demonising Russia: no doubt this was the intention. Personally I would blame Putin for waging chemical warfare in Wiltshire myself. His was the evil intent. Everything else is civilised people responding as best they can to that evil
I dont believe the attack was done to scupper Brexit or to wreck Vlad's chances of reelection (after all the voting papers are pre printed with an X on his name arnt they?) but I am suspicious that it is being used to divert attention away from BREXIT and other issues.
Trump banging on about rigged election? I missed that one: he won the election, as far as I know. He did rant and rave about his fear that the election might be rigged against him, but, well that was another conspiracy theory I guess that turned out wrong.
What he is doing now is right: I can’t stand the man personally, but compared to the creature in the Kremlin he is the epitome of all that is good in the world. And at times like this we need to stand together.
“It may not cut it with you but thankfully that is your problem :-)”
Me and several millions other web users problems you mean, and we don’t see it as problem but more a mystery with victims, alleged assailants, alleged murder weapon ( attempted murder weapon)
but we’re still digging for the motive and collectively we always get our man :)
It has been suggested that the substance may have been placed in Yulya Skripal’s luggage in the suitcase in Moscow. As I understand it tho all the Novichok class weapons are binary agents: that is to say, they need preparing from separate less harmful materials a limited time before use. I cannot confirm if that is the case but it would seem to rule that option out. Which in a way would be good news, as otherwise finding the would be killers would be next to impossible.

I doubt it as if it went “off” in Moscow airport or the plane then there would have been multiple deaths. If it “was” putin then I’d guess this would have been an embarrassing tradgedy he would avoid at all costs.
