Extraordinary statement by Mrs May and also quite scary.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-43377856
She has essentially said that the Russian Government is "highly likely" to have carried out a Chemical Attack on the United Kingdom, using a "military grade nerve agent" developed by the Russian Military and threatening hundreds of British Citizens. This is incredibly worrying.
On another note, Mr Corbyn in his response attempted to conflate donations from Russian Oligarchs to the Conservative Party with this act. Disgraceful. [Post edited 12 Mar 2018 17:22]

I don't think much will happen apart from some frozen assets and a threat of a British version of the Magnitsky Act.
It is clearly an act of war however and I am not sure why ECB and Max laughed at my comment. |
Well said my friend it is far from funny. |  |

I agree. I also believe (as I think Lohengrin has been saying) that if the Russian government/ military was behind this as the PM suggested in Parliament earlier there’d be a dead ex-spy and his daughter by now. |
I very much hope they do survive, but worry about full recovery.
Recovery
Novichok agents are reported to produce more permanent injury, even following appropriate nerve agent antidote treatment.

Because you in some way suggested that May might want to ask NATO to intervene and collectively kicked Russki arse on the principle that an attack on one member is an attack all members. That’s why I laughed. It’s not an act of war, it’s a botched assassination attempt. [Post edited 12 Mar 2018 19:31]

As I’ve already said on the other thread the FSB had this man in Lubyanka for years, if they wanted him dead then he would be, long since.
I tell you what ought to happen next, love, is a proper forensic investigation into the way the Conservative Party is financed. It’s a nest of corrupt vipers who have imported these problems here. |
Is the correct answer !!
Could not agree more Loh.
You are spot on with your analysis as well.
If Putin wanted him dead, he would be dead.
Timing interesting ?
The daughter - as Lisa says, strange ?
Nothing the Maybot will do, and she’d only cock it up. |  |

Our European partners we've just told to eff off and are about to split away from, you mean?
Another example of the lunacy of Brexit. It's a cold, hard, lonely world out there when you're on your own. |
You mean our European partners we helped to defend in the Cold War, who we first saved from Fascism and then Communism, who were part of NATO but didn't keep their promises on military spend, who are so ungrateful that they want to weaken NATO and build a European military instead, who we asked for support on sanctions against Russia after Litvinenko but said (well Germany anyway) "on your bike"...who despite trying to treat us like a disobedient colony for having the temerity to opt out of their ludicrously flawed Superstate WE STILL OFFER TO PROTECT POST BREXIT.
Them you mean?!
Bunch of ungrateful deluded socialists.
Just like Corbyn. [Post edited 12 Mar 2018 19:46]

What is lunacy is to think that a decision to remove ourselves from a political union is the same thing as degrading our military alliances with our European partners. |
lol .. because assuming we are looking to avoid military action, strong economic sanctions, and political brotherhood are likely to be far more effective and avoid loss of life.
not sure if you are a brexiteer but that kind of statement shows the ignorance and one dimensional thinking of most. | | | |

‘We’ saved them from fascism ?
You would have to be nearly 100 years old if you actually did anything in the previous generations heroics vs Hitler.
‘They’ do send us great footballers like jDg, Bodde, Michu, and Rangel though !! | |

If Theresa wants to know whodunit, why doesn't she put a couple of Sun investigative journalists on it?
They know all about this espionage malarkey. |  |

I think May is a useless Prime Minister. Absolutely useless.
I think her speech this afternoon was tremendous.
Corbyn completely missed the tone, and got it very, very wrong in response. May, to her credit, didn't bring up his links with RT but took the moral high ground while he scrabbled in the dirt.
The other members of the Labour Party who spoke, managed to capture the mood and the occasion and spoke very well (or the ones I heard did, anyway), as did members of the SNP, LibDems and Tories. |
Lisa, who are you still trying to kid?
You're her biggest fan. That's been clear for a while |  |

Tommy, it's one thing to provoke acts of aggression with Iraq in conjunction with the US over false info and quite another to do so unilaterally with Russia.
Ther is not a chance in hell they are stirring up trouble with Putin based on false information. [Post edited 12 Mar 2018 19:06]

In all honesty, I thought she'd be better than she is though. She's utterly hopeless. | | | |

The other option was supposed to be Callen, with an E, auto-correct messed that up, but yeah, we'll see.
Loh, funny that as I looked the word up on my Mac as I typed it to see what would come up. Expecting a typical name history of Gaelic origins I was surprised to see the British crime drama from the 60's and 70's. I think I can just about remember it... Must be from the reruns though, I'm not your age 😉 | |
