    Brexit, for once some facts.

    No there's no risk, Russians are lovely people and I've often popped into the Russian restaurant opposite the Brompton Oratory for a bowl of the delicious Bortsch that only the Russians really know how to make. If ever I do feel threatened by one, I'll just dangle a bottle of vodka in front of...

    Are lithium pencil batteries overpriced and overhyped?

    Maybe. This quite early digital camera was ok with various alkaline primary AAs, but with NiMh and their low starting voltage they reached cutoff far too quickly to be useful enough. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I don't think so. Coincidences are far more common than we might think and we can and often do create them by going looking for them. Once we do that the coincidences can be overwhelming in number. Once a person I met also had one Italian parent, and then we realised that we both had the same...

    Are lithium pencil batteries overpriced and overhyped?

    They were a failure for me in a camera due to the low voltage at full charge meaning they expired after very few shots. The inconvenience was too great, costing shot opportunities. Wildlife isn't very patient. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Ok, it was the French. After all, they blew up a Greenpeace ship docked in a land you are very familar with, so they must be guilty of whatever it is being discussed. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    These common utterances, together with admissions of evidence being circumstantial and inconclusive, not necessarily pointing to any party, are what I'm objecting to when used as an indication of guilt, especially when accompanied by deliberate lies with those changed later into alternative lies...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I particularly back Hitchens call for the disbandment of NATO. It's been nothing but a cause of political trouble and conflict since the end of the Cold War and I've long been opposed to its existence. It only continues to exist because the USA finds it a useful extension of pseudo-colonial...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Knowing the lies our governments have previously told about tracing and many other matters, I think the information from Craig Murray in a link in Tom's published article is the most likely situation. That there is no scientific evidence to support the allegations so the government have...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I'm stating what was claimed at the time of the investigation, that the radiation traces were followed all the way. Of course once that was challenged by many including me, the story was changed to try to make it more feasible. But as I've shown, it's not, since those responsible simply...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    What on earth is wrong witn your perception Zlatan, as I've just replied to d8veh, I've kept saying exactly this in many posts. I don't need any explanation of how, I know how. I am challenging the claim that it was possible to follow traces of the radiation emissions (alpha particles) claimed...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Yes I've repeatedly posted that. Its the claim that the traces of the radiation where it's been can be detected that isn't true, the alpha particles that are the emission cannot be traced. For the umpteenth time the substance itself can easily be traced, but that is not what is being challenged. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I've said as much and have also posted the facts about polonium that you've had the nerve since to post to me, as if I didn't know. Polonium itself certainly can be detected traced and followed. But there is no detectable trail left by it's alpha emissions. Give it a rest Zlatan, googling...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Once again you show it was the polonium itself they detected. The tracing story is indeed nonsense, an entirely made up fiction. That is what I've posted and it's my last word on this Litvinenko subject since I'm tired of repeatedly stating the facts at the time, only for them to be ignored...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That is nonsense again, the world of physical properties does not change. Even the polonium itself is so difficult to trace it was only well after Livinenko's death that it was possible to establish it had been used. His death resulted from it entering his bloodstream and they will certainly...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That's the nonsense I've already exposed: Firstly the claim that where the polonium had been could be followed from its emission traces. That is scientific claptrap, it's impossible. As I've observed and Woosh has confirmed, the alpha emission particles have almost no penetrative ability...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Absolutely, guilty not proven, and the fact as you've shown that Sir Robert has drawn attention to all the inconclusiveness shows he's normally an honourable man. The disgrace has several elements. There's the false evidence created from the investigation at the time of the crime and later...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Therefore no proof or even indication of any sort of guilt? So let me show how, without Owen's complete ignorance of the subject, that it was very likely to have come from Russia in the first instance, by repeating what I've already posted earlier. At the time the annual production of polonium...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    There is no section 9/16 on page 239. There is this though: 9.192 The fact that Mr Litvinenko was poisoned with polonium 210 that had been manufactured in a nuclear reactor suggests that Mr Lugovoy and Mr Kovtun were acting for a state body, rather than (say) a criminal organisation. I've...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    So without definite facts that was the inquiries opinion. I repeat, unlike them I'm not giving any opinion, just stating the available facts. Now you are being silly, I'm English and London born and bred. Putin and his methods are just what Russia needed to sort out their post USSR chaos...
