Not really, Russia has asked for a sample so they can check the validity of the accusation. We've ignored that entirely justified request, so by refusing to supply the evidence of guilt we have in law conceded they are right and are innocent. Our CPS and police forces have been currently under...

Actually the USA has to export it's nuclear material it wants reprocessed to Russia for that, so the UK doing it as well would be seen as ok. The US position results from SALT talks years ago when the Russians as the USSR then agreed to greater limitation of nuclear weapon numbers than the USA...

They both know we've no way of measuring it to check. ;) .

Yes, but what a pity they used the unstable John Sweeney as the reporter. I've found it difficult to accept him as credible since his hysterical complete loss of control when interviewing a representative of Scientology. .

Apparently so, Information link .

Likewise Britain at Porton Down where I've no doubt we produce all of them experimentally. I've had duties within Porton Down's CDEE* and MRE**, but not in the innermost core which has the highest security of all. They're now known as the Ministry of Defence's Defence Science and Technology...

Because it's the truth. Russia has been deliberately surrounded on the west by NATO recruited countries, and that has also been attempted on the southern flank as well with Georgia and the Ukraine. That's undeniably been a siege policy by the West, primarily promoted by the USA. Russia has...

No need to explain when he could well be in power after the next general election. That's because most of the electorate don't have your jaundiced view of Corbyn. Was that sung chant we heard "Oh Theresa May" or "Oh Jeremy Corbyn"? .

Your anti-Labour stance looks ever more phobic, your obsession having shades of the late Senator Joe McCarthy's intense hatred of communism and his irrational views in that connection. Left of Conservatism and Liberalism is not the extreme left you seem to think it is. It's Socialism. As for...

As I posted I have no idea who carried out either of these attacks and doubt we would. There's no doubt about their purpose though, which is to discredit Russia. Russia is far from short of enemies accrued over many years, both individuals and nations. In consequence there are many possible...

And not just inconsistencies. In this story as with the Litvinenko one, the very obviousness throws it into extreme doubt. Russia has the brains, the ability, the agents and the shared technologies to assassinate untraceably, so why would they on both occasions use a method that pointed...

No, brollys are Bulgarian assault weapons, reputedly. .

Donald Trump puts America first and is prepared to do that at high cost to individuals and other countries. Vladimir Putin puts Russia first and is prepared to do that at high cost to individuals and other countries. Theresa May puts Brexit first and is prepared to do that at high cost to...

How you can say I've skated round the issue when no issue exists other than in your mind? It's precisely because I'm viewing from the shoes of those involved that I'm supporting them and their right to the business of their choice. Your hypothetical moody teenager isn't involved and I...

Hours after his boss, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, was ousted Steve Goldstein, the under secretary of Public Affairs at the State Department has been fired by the White House. He had announced that Tillerson didn't know why he had been sacked, presumably further upsetting Trump. .

I agree with much of what you are saying and implying and some of these changes I dislike, so I sympathise with your disapproval. With all change there is loss for at least a while, shades of Brexit here perhaps? But as ever I take the long view of the eventual outcome. In a globally trading...

I support that Irish judge's decision, the legal changes that Poland is making clearly breach human rights. Since the EU is quite clear that with their changes Poland is in breach of EU law and may be in danger of expulsion from the EU, the judge appears to have the support of the EU and...

He seems to think that our economic growth is good news when it's about the lowest in the developed world. In other words we are on a path of continuously falling further behind. Thats not reassuring from the man in charge of our national finances. .

In 2017 almost three-quarters of a million e-bikes were sold in Germany, one in five of all bicycle sales. If only we in the UK could enjoy that success, here it's probably only one in forty at most. All the detail on this link .

Leaders who repeatedly sack members of their team usually end being shown up as behaviourally idiots. After all, they usually appointed them in the first instance. A prime example is Boris Johnson when London Mayor, who appointed a set of patently unsuited people, mostly friends and...
