Wiltshire pair 'poisoned by nerve agent' (UNITED KINGDOM)
BBC News ^ | 7/4/2018 | BBC

Posted on 07/04/2018 3:20:29 PM PDT by Nextrush

A man and a woman found unconscious in Wiltshire were poisoned by Novichok, the same nerve agent as ex-Russian spy Sergei Skripal, police say.

The couple, believed to be Charlie Rowley and Dawn Sturgess, are in a critical condition having been found unconscious at a house on Saturday.

Police say no one else has presented the same symptoms.

There was "nothing in their background" to suggest the pair were targeted, the Met Police said....

Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu said it could not be confirmed whether the nerve agent came from the same batch that Mr. Skripal, and his daughter Yulia, were exposed to...

Is this the anticipated "incident with Russia" to be conjured up during the World Cup just like Ukraine happened to happen in 2014 during the Sochi Olympics?

What I note is that both incidents happened within miles of Porton Down, where the UK does it own chemical biological stuff.

Pshaw, I’m very dubious.

They looked at that agent from the other day much more and it looked like something the Brits themselves had cooked up.

I’m a yuge Anglophile yet this country we see today is a different animal.

It’s also the country that has the most to do with 2016 election shenanigans.

NOT your father’s “Great” Britain.

Second location 8 miles from the first incident. A local underground chemist experimenting?

I find it hard to believe that Russia is so inept that they would use exotic poisons and radioactive material to assassinate people and can’t even kill them.

Agree. The Russians are probably too good at this stuff to keep botching it in a public place. I think it has something to do with Porton Downs, possibly somebody who is accidentally contaminating things...or a nutcase who’s doing it on purpose.

“I find it hard to believe that Russia is so inept that they would use exotic poisons and radioactive material to assassinate people and can’t even kill them.”

It depends upon what the underlying motive is. True, if the main goal is to just kill someone, a bullet from a sterile weapon is the easiest way. But if they’re trying to send some kind of “message,” then maybe they believe an exotic toxin is best.

From the same place that has political prisoner Tommy Robinson imprisoned without trial for filming a public scene.

From the same place that has aided and abetted grooming and rape gangs.

From the same place that interfered in our elections with faked intellignece to compromise Trump.

From the same place we rejected on this very day in 1776.

From the same place that has a Moslem mayor who condemns our President.

Perfidious Albion.

Perfidious indeed.

Steeped in lies. Steeped in blood. Steeped in stupid.

This Christopher Steele operative from the UK was directly involved in efforts to take out Donald Trump during the election, the real interference in our presidential election in 2016.

From the same place who has made it clear that our American president is NOT welcome.

From the same place whose stupid PM races to the camera and microphone to condemn our border policies and just about everything else we do.

______________

I am sick to death of the British.

Just nuke London and let’s get this over with. Should have done it the day we knew the atomic bomb worked.

I think someone is Putin us on...it is threatening the ability of President Trump to meet with Putin on July 16th to sort things out without conflict.

I suppose they could be sending a “we can get you if we want” message but it seems that actually killing people after you’ve gone that far would be a stronger message.
