Is there not a crown prosecution service and a police service required by statute law and oath to bring such cases to court? . That a company director or indeed a cabinet minister apologises is not sufficient when there is a breach in the law. My understanding of the seperatios of powers is...

Robert Fisk is a man of integrity...

No. Again... using a pedelec analogy lets say the same chinese motor was used with bicycles trikes and tandems . Are they different or the same

.. possible , but at this stage, sheer speculation and possibly malicious and probably actionable. One does not escape libel, by phrasing an accusation as a question.

No. I am not accepting that. I am not interested in vindicating or hanging any British politician or indeed Russian . I am pointing out logical inconsistencies in the arguements as presented. As I understand it, one can have an active payload in an organic molecule and can join it with an...

One reason might be, that contrary to some postings the fabrication of these poisons might not be trivial, but that wider dissemination of the knowledge might encourage their use by non state actors.

No OG, that is not odd... Unless the chemical formula of Novichoc has been patented and or copyrighted it would be wrong. As Woosh said in an earlier posting, and I will defer to his greater knowledge of Chemistry, there can be a huge variety of very similar chemical formulations particularly...

Thank you for supplying the address to the reports. By my readings , the OPCW team extracted not only the biological samples ...the blood samples but also samples from the environment, which by my reckoning were probably quite small. What is indicative of that was their reference to hot spots...

Thank you.

In the case of an element it will not undergo metabolic alterations, and it's presence and the ratio of other isotopes can be used to identify the reactor.

You have stated as a matter of fact that blood samples were the form supplied. Do you know that for a fact?

You have not answered my You have not answered my question. You have proposed a scenario, which though logical, and which if it were related to the polonium incident, would be relevent, but not to a biological agent

How do you know that it was blood samples? . In which case rather than being the actual chemical agent they would be metalytes from reactions which had occured not the basic agent. That would make identification even more difficult even if it then supplied plenty of sample material.

Huh!. I once drove a car and caravan over the coastal route between France and Spain around the town of Colere.. the road was I think 12 to 14 foot wide and the caravan around 7. . There were a few laybys . I didnt make many friends with the rest of the traffic nor did I return from Spain...

Flecc your utterances here lack your customary rigour. From my reading the external laboratories have confirmed that the chemical agent was a nerve agent of a type identified by the uks laboratories. That is all they said and indeed can say . Now I am not privy to the amount of nerve agent...

As I said earlier molecules dont come with passports or even bar codes so demanding such a level of certainity is troll-like. What it does is confirm the uk laboratories results. Until and unless the uk police catagorically identify the delivery mechanism and then the human agents responsible...

Back on topic... It was with some surprise I read in yesterday's Irish times that your minister Davies made a number of comments regarding the Irish government at a recent address in London. The tenor of these remarks was that.. With the change of government in the republic there was a change...

Even in jest Tommie, your P.S. is not funny. I have been concerned for a long time what the response might be when he might feel the jig was up.

Wow that is in the big league.. you would get airborne for less power....

..or equally obviously he has been following the story, has become aware of the treatment, knows its effects and has spoken out. Or he has been advised to do so by his superiors... Note that this is a very logical position, he can preemptively defuse any finding by the international...
