Salisbury panic as ‘Russian' and friend fall ill ‘with Novichok symptoms' at Prezzo 300m from where Skripals collapsed
2018-09-17
[The Sun] A POISONING panic gripped Salisbury as two restaurant diners were today taken ill close to where the Skripals collapsed.

Police in bio-hazard suits shut down part of the city centre on Sunday as they dealt with a "medical incident" in a branch of Prezzo.

They evacuated nearby restaurants and pubs while they investigated why the man and woman were taken ill ‐ amid reports from Sky News that one is Russian.

PA reported that a source briefed by emergency services said the police were called as the symptoms were consistent with Novichok poisoning.

They said: "The ambulance crew at the site took the decision that the symptoms seemed consistent with Novichok poisoning which is why they called their colleagues in the police.

They added: "The symptoms of Novhichok poisoning and particular types of narcotic abuse are very similar."

#6  There isn't a wiz of Devizes
Whose workshop is full of surprises:
No basilisk chrysalis,
Moonraker missiles,
Or pies to cause early demises!

#5  With grave reservations, a booking
For five, very warily looking --
"What ho, gone-off Stroganov!"
"Who turned the oven off?" --
For Russians to blame for their cooking.
