May and Johnson lied when they claimed we had the entire backing of the UN. The French government thought we were being too hasty and wanted further investigations before any action was taken. The Italian government also wanted more concrete proof. You don't need a long memory to recall Blair making the same false claim about weapons of mass destruction and going to war in Iran.

Russian news is saying that the British government did this to take the nations eye off all the internal squabbling in parliament. I don't believe that but what if the Russian government are innocent in this? what have we done and without any real proof?

I don't know what to think to be honest. After the heinous lies Thatcher did with the Falklands and the lie upon lie Blairs spun out to the public about WMD, I don't trust the British government anymore than I trust the Russian government.

I think the Russians did this but I don't think it was the Russian government but that's just a strong hunch.

The thing is, what was the point in killing him? If the Russians wanted to kill someone in a foreign country, why would they use a nerve agent that could be traced back to them? There's no clear motive for doing it. The method used is irrational unless you wanted to make a statement that it was a Russian assassination and that would be a deliberate provocation to go to war. The nerve agent is the most puzzling thing in this whole sorry affair.
