"There is no fool like an old fool."
Bacck in uit comfort zone and safe from the adults then
There is something particularly inhuman about denying the mass murder of civilians by putting it down to 'fake news'
One of the problems today's mass-murderers is that everything they do is public
Are you seriously suggesting that eye-witness reports by MÉDECINS SANS FRONTIÈRES , HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH and AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL are all part of a massive smear campaign against Russia and her allies?
Any moron can defend atrocities by just denying them - at least David Irving made an effeort to gover up tens of millions of deaths - you don't even bother.

These are researched and pretty well verified occurrences - if you have any evidernce to teh contrary apart from your Kenneth Williamsish protestations of an international plot, please provide
Otherwise - you are denying the mass murder by illegal means of civilians - there's enough of them to be deserve the description of 'holocaust'

The same sort of "documented proof" proving the Russians are poisoning spies.

Meanwhile back at the ranch the sales of the military industrial carry on expanding.

Very convenient that a doctor and nurse just happened by when the poisoning occurred.
Very convenient that Porton Down is about 8 miles from Salisbury.
Very convenient that Porton Down is probably the only place in the UK where the poison could be analysed so quickly and definitively.
matey boy Skripal once worked there also.
If Russia wanted to send a message, the word would soon get out that certain persons no longer breathed. The very public and unique nature of both the poisoning of the polonium kid and Sergei Skripal and his daughter simply would not be necessary. Also leaving a trail a mile wide does not seem over clever-deliberately careless in fact.
Everyone shouts it was russia than done it, yet no one yet states that they have proof, merely a lot of shouting designed to look like proof if only subjected to cursory examination.
I guarantee we will hear of those nasty russians and syrians using chemical warfare in the very near future. Especially now public opinion has been massaged in the right direction.

Steve you debunk theories you dislike. What do you think actually happened in Salisbury. Do you think that no one was poisoned? That it was not done by Putin? That it was not done by anyone from Russia? Did our government do it to discredit Russia or bury bad news? You seem quite sure about what it was not. What do you think it was?

"Senior sources have told the Telegraph they are convinced"

Well I am not!
I do not believe in father christmas, or the tooth fairy either.

"Senior sources" = A feeble attempt to convince the masses that the source has credibility. Of such devices is made the onward march of propaganda.
We are now importing foreign experts to confirm the source of the poison-no doubt it comes in a sack with a visiting card enclosed.
Another pathetic attempt, publicised in the daily wail, to add momentum to the current fairy tale.
Meanwhile Vlad the lad is re-elected with a huge majority, naval forces gather in the Med, and brexit draws ever nearer.

"The nerve agent that poisoned the Russian spy Sergei Skripal was planted in his daughter’s suitcase before she left Moscow, intelligence agencies now believe.

Senior sources have told the Telegraph they are convinced the Novichok nerve agent was hidden in the luggage of Yulia Skripal, the double agent’s 33-year-old daughter.

They are working on the theory that the toxin was impregnated in an item of clothing or cosmetics or else in a gift that was opened in his house in Salisbury, meaning Miss Skripal was deliberately targeted to get at her father."

I find it surprising that the BBC should photoshop Corbyn. Could they have been lent on? He is the only major politician to have queried the accepted mantra of "blame Putin for everything, even the weather". I detest Corbyn, but I find it very instructive the way he is
being "marginalised" both by the majority party, many of his own party and the mainstream media. Seems parliament is inhabited by many not so useful idiots.
Brexit is a far more important topic yet is being pushed totally off the agenda by supposed Vlad the lad, who seems to have inherited the worst character traits of both Rasputin and Vlad the impaler, if everything said about the man is to be believed.
I wonder if the PM and Boris are merely puppets? and if so, who is pulling the strings? It seems to me that one false flag event in the wrong place could make the assassination of the Grand Duke seem merely a lover's tiff in comparison to a modern war in europe. Modern wars now put civilians in the front line. A nice war is one way of guaranteeing limits to growth of population. Do you consider yourself a useless eater? Pretty sure them people upstairs do. Is the reset button about to be pushed?

I think Putin and his gofors are great practitioners of the "Who are you going to believe: Me or your lyin' eyes?" school of controversy.

Viz their continuing use of the un-uniformed Russian soldiers currently maintaining the Ukrainian 'civil war'.

I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop from the Netherlands on account of their planeload of dead citizens shot down over Ukraine in the Malaysian Airlines incident.

One thing they can get out of the current poisoning fracas is learning how far along their opponents are at teasing out the technology for detecting and perhaps counter-acting their chemical weapons.

We are being manipulated, though it's instructive to see how the voices of doubt are gaining ground while the finger-pointers' imagination can only run to wheeling out an increasingly-shrill Boris (that paragon of truthfulness and carefully-chosen words) and to try to convince us that it could only have been Russia, with absolutely no new information for us. On the latter point, my personal conspiracy theory is that there isn't any.

To Donuel and bobad: yer man in Iains' link, who is absolutely not my kind of bloke by the way, knows no more about this than you or I do. But he is pointing to the time-honoured, devious ways in which politicians manipulate us using words. In that regard he is doing us a valuable service. It's about time that anti-Russian people started to see that people who cast doubt on Russia's involvement in this are not doing it because they're pro-Russian. We just want the truth, that's all. Or at least we want stuff that's beyond reasonable doubt. We have a long way to go.
