    What?

    That the novichok the Russians used to poison the Skripals also killed that woman?

      Yes. Although it does appear to be the likely answer.

        I don't think the latest pair were targeted. Unless Charlie was one of Putin's "Bit of rough".

        It could be more "misadventure" than "murder".

          I'm not sure what the logical error is you were referring to? Is it the error in logic that you appear to be agreeing with now?

          Or are you just muddying the waters to squirm out your inconsistencies and selective participation in your favorite subject?

            Agree 100% - whether is was Vlad or Porton Down.

            Timing does seem a bit suspect though.

              Blaming the Russians gets an extra £12 billion for defence spending a year, otherwise we have no one to be the boogeyman and defence spending gets allocated to the NHS

                You are struggling today! It does appear to be the likely answer but it does not necessarily follow. Hence, wait and see.

                And as I said earlier, my favourite topic is Brexit.

                  How does it not necessarily follow? If the Russians poisoned the Skripals with novichok (which you are sure of) - how did the latest 2 get poisoned with novichok?

                    On latest news, they may have been in contact by smoking fag ends they picked up? Yech! Apart from pennyless down and outs, who does that?
                    I heard the guy who was affected by the latest poisoning had just bought a £400K house.

                    I know one can be asset rich and cash poor, but scrounging fag ends from bins seems a bit extreme.

                      From whom did you hear this? From "someone familiar with the situation"?
