Well here's a list of things I need to be a bit more certain about:

It actually did happen.

It was what chemical?

It was delivered by a barrel bomb.

It was dropped by a helicopter.

The rebels don't have helicopters.

It definitely wasn't a put-up job.


Prove all those things, chaps. The first casualty of war is the truth. You can say all these things as often as you like, no matter even if they come from the mouths of your trusted authority figures. I don't trust 'em, you see. I don't think I'm an extremist just because I don't trust what politicians say. I think I'm being very sensible, in fact. I stood in a very cold town square in Bude in March 2003, holding hands in a circle of people who didn't trust politicians. The powers that be told us that we must have been wrong because "only a million" of us turned out, nationwide, on that chilly March day. But we were right, weren't we? Almost a million Iraqis died, millions more were left in misery and a Pandora's box of terrorism was unleashed on the world that we are still living with. You've forgotten that bIt, some of you.

Another viewpoint- but one with obvious biases...


"TruePublica - Aims

    Publish news, analysis, commentary, reports, intelligence and research on events of public interest, particularly in respect of news events without propaganda, disinformation or fake news.
    Challenge neoliberal thinking that is causing a wave of disruption as western countries move from one social and economic crisis to another, particularly Britain and Europe
    Support the principles of real democracy (the will of the people) and capitalism (price discovery, not rigged markets) and civil liberty (freedom from state interference).
    Raise awareness of misinformation, disinformation and propaganda delivered by the vested interests of the media, corporations and governments.
    Act as a hub, liaise and partner with organisations with similar aims.


Status

    Independent research media organisation.
    Non Profit and privately managed organisation made up of contributing journalists, writers, authors and independent organisations.
    100 per cent of all funds centred on the expansion of TruePublica.




Evolution

TruePublica evolved from a project started in 2012 through a website that offered an alternative view on current affairs, particularly in Britain. It’s popularity required continual metamorphosis until it’s latest iteration, where, at its peak, the website reached over 1 million users a week, was as a top 1 per cent social media performer and rated “politically influential” by Twitrland. It was featured on well-known and highly influential outlets around the world – representing some of the most widely accessed news websites in the so-called ‘alternative’ news sphere. The website attracted writers from national newspapers and political policy writers, amongst others.

It’s initial success motivated a small team to tackle the current excesses of geo-political and neoliberal thinking to help the wider public understand the importance of questioning and researching these important public interest topics. The purpose of TruePublica is to enable more informed decisions such as civil liberty, human rights, privacy, social, economic and environmental issues as well as globalisation, war and pivotal events such as the refugee catastrophe unfolding in front of us all."




All depends on whose propaganda one wishes to believe. Seems like the story fits exactly into what the goal of this group purports to be.

"Standard manufacture of chlorine is by..." Not always, for use as a weapon. Standard chemical rounds/bombs are two chemicals that, when combined, form the desired agent. That was what was found in Iraq, BTW ( Several thousand empty rounds, as the chemicals are not usually stored in the shell. But we know Saddam didn't have anything like that- he even told us he had destroyed the ones the UN had found earlier. He wouldn't have lied about that, would he?

And there were a number of truck convoys seen just before the US invasion of Iraq, going from the Iraqi chemical weapons facilities and arms storage to Syria. Could the chemicals to produce weapons have been in those trucks?





And as an aside:



"A Russian journalist who reported on political scandals linked to President Vladimir Putin's associates and the death of Russian mercenaries in Syria has died in hospital after a mysterious fall from his apartment. CBS News partner network BBC News reports that neighbors found Maxim Borodin badly injured on the ground outside his fifth floor apartment in Yekaterinburg on April 12.

Local and regional authorities told the BBC that no suicide note was discovered and the door to his apartment was found locked from the inside. They said no criminal activity was suspected.

But Vyacheslav Bashkov, a friend of the deceased journalist, told the British network that Borodin had called him early on the morning of April 11, saying there was "someone with a weapon on his balcony and people in camouflage and masks on the staircase landing."

Bashkov described Borodin as a "principled, honest journalist," and told the BBC he called back later on the 11th to say he must have been wrong about his apartment being surrounded around 5 a.m., and that the mysterious armed individuals were apparently taking part in a security exercise.

The representative for media freedom at a European security organization told the BBC that Borodin's death should be investigated.

Harlem Désir of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe said the circumstances of the death were "of serious concern."

Borodin had reported recently on the death of hundreds of Russian mercenaries killed in U.S. airstrikes in northern Syria, after U.S.-allied forces came under attack in the region.

He had also investigated the bizarre story of a Belorussian sex worker arrested in Thailand who claims to have recorded conversations with a Russian oligarch which prove Russia meddled in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

In October last year, a prominent journalist for one of Russia's leading news radio stations was stabbed in the throat by an unknown attacker who burst into her studio. Tatyana Felgenhauer is the deputy editor of Ekho Moskvy, often described as Russia's only independent news radio station.

Another popular Ekho Moskvy host, Yulia Latynina, fled Russia in September following a suspected arson attack on her car. After that attack, the Committee to Protect Journalists urged Russian authorities "to identify and prosecute those responsible for the attacks."

Russia's myriad state-owned media have long targeted Ekho Moskvy for its critical reporting of the Kremlin.

Felgenhauer survived, but the attack on her was only the latest -- unless the circumstances of Borodin's death are linked to crime -- in a series of as-yet unsolved attacks on Russian journalists."

Assad is notorious for taking revenge on anybody he identifies as a non-supporter (ask Keith - he's an admirer who wanted to sell him riot-control equipment)
Anybody who supported the original Arab Spring protests fit neatly into Assad's (mark for special treatment) category

I hate to be a stickler for detail but where is the evidence for helicopters and barrel bombs? I cannot recall the MSM mentioning such things and logically you would expect them to be all over it.Also compressing a gas into a 50gallon drum is not anything that would pass the most cursory health and safety inspection.
Figures I have seen quote 40psi to burst a conventional steel 55 gallon drum. A standard propane cylinder is rated for closer to 1000psi.

Steve,
The mere suspicion that this is being done, if it's being done, by Islamists or Ruskies doesn't cut it with us, and it shouldn't with you either.

I agree, but the evidence is damning.
Apart from the video which could be staged, we have blood and urine from victims which can not.

The gassing was instigated by a helicopter barrel bomb attack, which rules out any of the rebels.

You know all this, but you can not bring yourself to accuse a fellow opponent of Western democracy.

Your attempts to link Corbyn with Trotskyism

No such attempt is being made. It seems you are unable to to understand the application of a historic quote to present day events. It's a literary device - do look up how that works.

The Khan Shaykhun chemical attack happened on April 4, 2017, an area of the Idlib Governorate that was under the control of Tahrir al-Sham, better known as the Al-Nusra Front terrorist group. The sarin gas release, which reportedly claimed the lives of between 74-100 civilians, happened after a Syrian Air Force anti-terrorist operation in the town. Damascus said it targeted the terrorists using only conventional weapons.

The investigators never visited the site of the incident, citing security concerns. And because the “integrity of the scene was devalued” after the “crater from which the sarin emanated was disturbed after the incident and subsequently filled with concrete” by the militants controlling the area.

Nevertheless, in its report, JIM( OPCW-UN Joint Investigative Mechanism) said “the Leadership Panel is confident that the Syrian Arab Republic is responsible for the release of sarin at Khan Shaykhun on 4 April, 2017.”

The main function in this era, of a word like 'Trotsky' is to trigger fuddled reactionaries
into immediately automatically yelping and baying for a taste of modern left wing blood...

The history and meaning is irrelevant..
it's now merely a sound signal to command to attention behaviourly conditioned right wing attack dogs..

More time now
Bobad
If you or the right wing bumwipe you quote from knew the slightest thing about left politics you would be aware that what distinguished Trotsky and Trotskyism from most left parties (apart from the Anarchists) is the total rejection of Parliamentary Politics
Your attempts to link Corbyn with Trotskyism is as crass as anything else you have ever written
Buy a book!!

But you see, bobad, Jeremy isn't "watching men drunk with blood massacring defenceless people..." etc. Like the rest of us he's being drip-fed the information that our leaderships are choosing to let us have, not "watching" at all. Like the rest of us, once he knows who these "men drunk with blood" are and precisely what they've done, he'd be just as happy as you to see a stern reaction. Me too. Unlike you, though, we don't go in for lynch mob methods. We want to see the evidence. The mere suspicion that this is being done, if it's being done, by Islamists or Ruskies doesn't cut it with us, and it shouldn't with you either.

Oh, and the right wing press.
