Damn!
You're right.
I did it.
You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

Apparently it is difficult to actually kill oneself by slicing across the wrist.
One has to do it longitudinally for best effect. Even then, it's by no means certain you would bleed out from the wound, not without having ingested a serious quantity an anticoagulant, such as Warfarin, anyway.

It's not like that guy knew some kind of dark secret, he was just an expert ffs, his words were words against other experts and he could not have possibly known anything that would have mattered anyway.
Sure I am all for detailed investigation in any case when it is possible at all that Govt somehow killed people, but it is laughable to use this pretty much single case and derive any serious conclusions about anything.
When you have regime (like in Russia) that kills opponents it is fairly easy to spot because they don't stop killing just one - there is a very long series of murders of opposition figures or sudden deaths from unknown poisons (that now seem to look like polonium-210 - at least 2 known cases) and it seems to affect only people who are in opposition to the Govt. Putin's mates don't die (they buy football clubs and other things), where as his enemies die very consistently, hearing about this Kelly affair is just so out of touch with real world reality that people should bloody get some perspective on these issues.Comment

Originally posted by AtW View PostI did not check all details. Maybe its hard. I think those who claim it is should conduct experiment and slice their own hands this way to prove they won't die.

I am very angry. This Russian aggression was coming for a long time but the West was ignoring all the obvious signs and even now they are dithering - can't decide on sanctions, ffs. If Kremlin gets away with this crap then next will be Ukrain - they need it desperately because a lot of nuclear R&D was there actually.Comment

Originally posted by bogeyman View PostWell, I don't think New Labour is (yet) in the habit of bumping off those who would make life awkward for them, but there does seem to be more than a whiff of foul play about the Kelly affair.
Still, it's in the Mail, so it's probably complete rubbish anyway.Comment
