Only Russia could have committed this crime
by Boris Johnson - Sometimes it seems as if running a good cover-up is the main job of the Kremlin. No other government devotes as much time and effort to the business of trying to sabotage or discredit international inquiries. Read full article

Disclaimer & comment rulesBefore anybody gets into making personal comments about Mr Johnson, there are some “factors” that might be taken into consideration. As of 04/07/2018 at 05:49 AM EDT, HuffPost reports that Russia has over 20 explanations for the Skripal poisoning.
Apr 09th, 2018 - 09:13 am - Link - Report abuse +2Now, why would a “normal”, “decent” country have more than 20 explanations? Reference is made to Professor Mark Galeotti, senior researcher at the Institute of International Relations in Prague who said that it is more effective to blast out a cloud of different theories as different people will respond to different ideas. In other words, it's psychology.
But if all those “different” people know that Russia has come out with more than 20 “different” explanations, shouldn't they ask who would come out with more than 20 possibilities? Would it be someone who is totally innocent or someone who is totally guilty?
To put it more directly, when the policeman picks you out in the street, takes you to the station, sits you down in an interview room and proceeds to ask you loads of questions about an offence about which you know absolutely nothing, do you just answer the questions with the truth and to the best of your ability? Or do you come out with more than 20 different, and silly, “explanations”?
“There is no doubt that we have found nerve agent, that nerve agent has been identified to have been manufactured, we believe in Russia, and we believe that the nerve agent, the Novichok type of nerve agent is only capable of being produced by a nation state,” Security Minister Ben Wallace said on Thursday in a BBC radio interview. “We can say that all roads lead to Russia, that we are beyond reasonable doubt that the Russian state is behind this.”

He doesn't seem to Think so...
Apr 09th, 2018 - 07:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Why do some people condemn Black Lives Matter but say 'Remember Ruby Ridge'? It's okay for the police to shoot unarmed people resisting arrest, but not armed ones?

Mr. Voice...
Allow me to disagree...
Our World States are full of minority Nations that do not feel as part of the dominant society...
Wee EscoSesDoidao calling them Brits names ..., is as logical as me Argie Indian neighbour calling us Argies names...
Do your 'Indian' neighbours not feel Argentine, then (and does that bother you)? I don't think it's very logical of them to call you names, what have *you* done?
Apr 10th, 2018 - 08:43 am - Link - Report abuse 0And I don't understand how Scottish people can feel that way, because they have obviously done so much to shape British society, both culturally and politically.
The British are now admitting that the nerve agent did not come from Russia. Totally fake news.
Apr 10th, 2018 - 02:17 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The question is why is this piece appearing in Mercopenguin, a British government propaganda organ supposedly devoted to America, South America and the “South Atlantic”?
