Skripaling Into World War III
2018-09-12
The increasingly ludicrous three-ringed circus that is the Skripal case and the ever more hysterical, unhinged, unsubstantiated claims from Theresa "I was for Brexit before I was against it" May and the incompetent Coterie of Clucking Clownsâ„¢ that she calls a government continues apace with the charges brought against two alleged Russian GRU Super Assassins, "Alexander Petrov" and "Ruslan Boshirov" (probably not their real names), caught red-handedly Visiting Salisbury While Russian on CCTV on two occasions: The day before the Skripal assassination and the day itself.

So... they did it! As has been the case with every single previous bombastic statement of Theresa May and her government’s regarding this case in the past, not a single piece of substantiating, corroborating evidence was released. Other than the footage proving their placement near the scene of the crime.

So we’ll just take that for granted, along with all of the previous statements, just for shits and giggles and in recognition of the fact that we don’t know more about this than the British Government does, even if they know nothing at all. So, for the sake of argument and all that.

Yes, we know, national security, mustn’t let the bad guys know what we have and all that. All of it true, but surely it might be possible to redact/edit/obscure SOME sort of evidence that might be released to the public to support the government’s accusation of another government, particularly when the charge is attempted murder with nerve gas?

But no.

Also, somebody noticed something interesting about the CCTV captures that were released, these two of "Petrov" and "Boshirov" arriving at Gatwick the day before the murder attempt:
