The Salisbury Poisoning Mystery


There are warnings from history about what can happen if you jump to conclusions without waiting for the facts.the Iraq War being a recent example.The Skripals affair is a strange case which bristles with anomalies.In Army lectures we were told that a drop of nerve agent the size of a pinhead on your skin would kill you within a few minutes,but the Skripals handled a door knob coated with the stuff & were able to stroll around Salisbury for several hours before becoming seriously ill. Government propaganda has it that only the Russians,with state connivance,could have done it,as the poison was Russian made.
The reality is that many countries have produced Novachoc,which is a generic term for a large number of closely similar substances.It is hinted that Putin must have authorised the attack,but that is doubtful.Putin is not stupid.He would have realised such an attack would cause an international outcry which would be bad for Russia,especially with the world cup due to be played there soon. If he was so keen to murder Serge Skripal,he could have done it quietly & out of sight during the 6yrs when Skripal was in a Russian prison.
There must have been a lot more than a pinhead amount of poison on the door handle,but far from being dead within 5mins,both Skripals have made a good recovery (his was collateral damage & not the target herself).If what we're told is true, Russian nerve agent is rubbish,little better than one of the more toxic organophosphate pesticides,which kill thousands of people every year,have similar chemistry & require the same treatment,atropine & diazepam.
