So do our supporters lol.the Russian supporters shout themselves hoarse with racist abuse at our players
Putin would have no issues bringing back the gulags if the political climate were similar to 1918.
Porton Down is 8 miles away and?
So you can only secure nerve agent for an 8 mile journey, can't travel say 1000 miles with the stuff. Pretty weak.
If I was an spy/ex spy, I would have a body cam on me at all times and fit my flat out with hidden cameras, at least the killers would be seen then, not that it would result in much however.
Ha I was literally just talking about this at work -
Happy to carry out a false flag chemical attack on our own soil and citizens but cant be bothered to drive more than a few miles
If you were talking about Porton or Winterbourne Gunner local residents getting ill from a leak into local water or something than fair enough but only victims are a ex russian spy? lol

21 people now confirmed to be affected. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...on-russian-spy-police-salisbury-a8246566.html
Quite, the target however was clearly the spy and his daughter, everyone else will be passers by, police and medical staff trying to help them
Lol I love conspiracy nuts. They're great.
Sure, that could be it. It could likewise be an accidental leak of some sort, and spy and daughter recruited to take part in explaining it away as an attack by Putin. Or it could be something else.
It's not unfeasible that Porton Down's proximity is not merely a coincidence. The country's top experts on chemical weapons are based there, and response teams would be able to get there fast.
You believe this can only be an accident? That there is no possibility of a conspiracy to murder?
Yes I know , I work about half a mile from it
An accidentlal leak from Porton Down in salisbury town center ? its not exactly the kind of stuff they pump around in pipes through town
We kill a spy who helped us (that we swapped valuable policital prisoners for?) to hide a leak?
Not the most likely scenario is it?
but Russian TV openly boasting about how short the life span is of ex russian spies who defect doesnt give you any hints?
Limited / no political advantage to gain from the pubic not liking Russia
With that I agree. An accident is not the most likely scenario, in my opinion. Even so, accidents can and do happen. And if one like this did, I don't imagine they would hold their hands up and say "it was us, sorry". Instead, they would have a cover-up ready to go, and use such a crisis to further an agenda.
Are you referring to this?: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-43330498
What observations do you take issue with?
I wouldn't say that's accurate. For starters, there is a huge political advantage for the political establishment of one country to present another country as "worse/the badder ones". There always has been. When times are hard, and you don't want the public's attention on you so much, get them to look at and blame/hate someone else. Then you have NATO and the EU, and Russia is often listed as one of the main good reasons for keeping them. Without writing an essay on this subject, all that's left to say is open your eyes and see how the political establishment have made it one of their goals to get the public to hate Russia, over the past four or five years.
Of course accidents happen - Your conclusion however is ridiculous,
Also lol RT links
So if the purpose is to get us to "hate" Russia then explain what is happening to out military budget to counter such a perceived dangerous enemy and appease the voters?
I don't think that's ridiculous, really.
Could also be possible that he was actually a triple agent and his daughter was going to smuggle British Nerve agents back to Russia which he had obtained from the nearby storage facility, but something went wrong.Sure, that could be it. It could likewise be an accidental leak of some sort, and spy and daughter recruited to take part in explaining it away as an attack by Putin. Or it could be something else.
