If those two accused are innocents then Putin could have put them on the first plane to London, or maybe you'll say now they won't have fair trial in the UK?

Not saying the Russian's aren't capable or intent on doing something like this we know they are. This whole thing is such a clusterfudge it's got 'the Thick of it' written all over it.

Unless it's Putin 'sending a message' by not killing a former spy and leaving Novichok smeared all over Salisbury for some unfortunate smackheads to stumble on. Unless of course the guy that actually died was the intended target...
Of course I understand the difference between murdering someone with a banned military grade chemical weapon and pushing someone about on the street. I just still don't buy the former as what happened, it makes no sense and the timing with what's happening between said enemies elsewhere in the world...
Anyway - I need to stop caring about this tulip so much. What will be will be - even if that's going into WW3 based on our government lying to us - again.

Bit like when a friend we support at one time does some pretty awful things but it's fine because he's a friend so he can do whatever he likes and we'll look the other way.
Until that same friend stops being a friend and becomes an enemy, then all those terrible things he did and does are now a major concern - so much so that we'll tell everyone that he can (and will!) drop WMDs on us that can reach us in 45 minutes - all the evidence confirms it, my peers agree with my suspicions. So we better 'liberate' his country immediately.

If it had been Russian football fans beating up some British ones it would have been treated differently.

What did Saudi Arabia do again, intimidated some guy? A strong word wih ambassador will more than do

Originally posted by AtW View PostIt’s like to say punishment for minor speeding should be the same as for deliberately driving into people with intent to kill (and succeeding)
Can’t you see the difference, or you just don’t want to?

Originally posted by darmstadt View PostSo if they're found to to be agents of the Saudi government attacking people on British soil, it's okay as long as they don't kill anyone?
Killing a British citizen with weapons grade nerv agent is an act of war

Someone who doesn't appear to be linked to a friend but claims to be, hits me I won't go and hit my friend. I would investigate.
two completely different situations.
