It’s all about tone I suppose. This could hurt him a bit, or maybe nowt. Probably will depend on the next few weeks. But this is the kind of line the Tories will seek to exploit till there has to be an election.

What would 'being hard on Russia' actually entail? A cock-waving contest that Britain would be humiliated in? Actual military action? Sanctions (I'd be fine with some of those)? Interesting, also, to note among the EDM's Labour signatories an MP who has always insisted that she won't sign any early day motions. Funny, that.
Of course Putin's killed many thousands more in Syria than he ever will in Britain but no one much minds about that.

By the way, does anyone know why those 23 new intelligence agents were only identified this week? I've looked around, and can't find the rationale.

Ever wondered how corrupt this country is?
Here’s former Chancellor of the Exchequer smearing the leader of the Opposition as being in Russia’s pocket in a paper owned by the oligarch son of a former KGB man.
Osborne met corrupt associates of Putin Oleg Derispaka five times to discuss funding for the Conservative Party
And as Chancellor helped City of London become a safe haven for dirty Russian cash
What scum they are.

In Corbyn's latest, he backs the expulsion of diplomats and would like further action on tackling Russian elite money laundering. It's not a particularly poodle-like stance, whatever else it might be.

I got so angry I just rang the standard news desk saying that I had information about a senior British politician trying repeatedly to get money from an associate of Putin's and were they interested?
They were. So I told them.

No. Though I wonder if this was because his speech was a general pre-written response to May's actions, and whether he would have known what she was planning. He's not too quick-thinking.
I don't think it was mentioned in his Facebook post later either.

It’s implemented by the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons
There’s a link in their website. Was googling not taught in activist meetings?

Article 54 seems to cover it - "the inspected state party has the right to retain portions of the sample or request duplicate samples, and be present when samples are analysed on site"Last edited by HeavyDracula; 15-03-2018, 21:19.

This whole thing seems hideous, btw. A German expert quoted in Die Welt suggest that everyone exposed to novichok in Salisbury will die.
