“UK poised to ask Russia to extradite Salisbury attack suspects”

Well, we'll now see how much 'help' with the investigation Russia actually wants to offer.

Just a wild guess - it'll be three fifths of fk all.

So today's news is that (whatever the Trump-Putin thing is or isn't), the USA has announced new sanctions on Russia because of this attack: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-4512272...

This bit will be interesting:

Uncle Sam said:

The state department said further sanctions would follow within 90 days if Russia did not give assurances that it had stopped the use of chemical weapons.

Isn't that a bit like the "have you stopped beating your wife?"

Pretty big news, goes against the message Trump was giving.

No it does not, it is exactly on track as to how he "swings".

Except, this decision is not Trump's. It's Congress', once the State Dept had officially confirmed the CW attack.

I guess British intelligence have just shared the names of the Russians they want to speak to and the CIA have said hang on a minute, these fkers have entered the US on numerous occasions - time to act.

[Escapegoat]

Russia not happy. Rouble is down, etc. And from here: http://tass.com/politics/1016647 - "Russia won’t accept the US demands for lifting the restrictions". Because that would mean confessing. Bit of a Catch 22.

And still Donald's Twitter feed remains silent...

Too many can still of Special Brew would have that affect on most people too.....

How do they know it's temporary unless he can already see again?

He sobered up for a bit?

LOL. The implication of the article linked-to above is that the blindness has passed. Presumably ICU because it is not right now known if this is a precursor to a relapse or something else.

Hopefully will turn out to be nothing

[poo at Paul's]

They've only gone and crushed all the emergency vehicles used in the incidents and buried them in landfill up near Cheltenham!! But there's nothing to worry about!!

Because that's what you do when there's nothing to worry about, crush £350k worth of kit and bury it in a big fk off hole.

AIUI the big hole at a farm in Bishops Cleeve is also home to the cars which happened to be parked too close to the action and were impounded at the time.

Question is, as they have crushed the vehicles for fear of contamination or whatever it doesn't really fill me with confidence to enter any of the premises that were closed off during everything going on, with the public who had been in these premises being told to 'wash all clothes immediately and clean all jewellery', why would any sane person enter these premises when vehicles that were 'to close' have been buried in a landfill?

Not looking good for the survivor...
