What about the air ambulance that was involved, has that been buried?

Didnt hear about him going back in. How awful.

Still just such a shocking thing to have happened to innocent bystanders.

Cant help feeling that the lifestyle of the two most recent victims plays a large part in the whole situation and prognosis etc.
I hope it is not as bad as the brother is making out, I got the impression before that the brother was embracing his time in the limelight somewhat, this article doesn't mention much in the way of fact etc from clinicians and hospital staff etc, on behalf of the victim. So it just could be he is ill with meningitis and very poorly because that is what it does, and the Novichok angle is a red herring.

Not that I'm an expert but I'm pretty sure if you were an Olympic gold medalist and you sprayed novichok neat onto your wrists perfume style it wouldn't end well.

The fact they have buried the police cars involved in the original incident says it all.

Yep - the usual PH victim blaming. It's his fault because of his lifestyle.

Announced names that are thought to be false. Well that's a shocker.

Takes them what, 6 months to come up with a photo of someone that probably left the country within hours of the event.

I'd imagine trawling through every last second of footage from every CCTV camera in Salisbury - recorded over a considerable period leading up to the attack - and then cross-referencing that with every individual arrival and departure at UK ports and airports, is going to take a considerable amount of time and effort.

Won't mean anything unless they can be caught - any then we all pay to keep them in prison for ever whilst UK/Russian tension reaches boiling point.
No easy answer here.

"Victim Blaming"? The usual Eric claptrap and BS. You're like a broken fking record!!

The brother, who seems to not have medical training, says his immune system is screwed due to the Novichok. Do you not think it possible that years of drug abuse can also have an impact on one's immune system? So his lifestyle maybe has not helped him in recent months, in my opinion. Surely only an obtuse old fool like you would try to concede otherwise?

So then we come onto what the article says... The guy has "meningitis" by all accounts, It doesn't say if it is the viral or bacterial from. Both nasty illnesses, but ones that many thousands of us have contracted and survived. About one person a day contracts it in the UK. Meningitis most often affects seemingly completely healthy people many in the prime of their lives, students, kids and toddlers etc. It is interesting that some studies show increased risk after administration of blood products intravenously, (which he may have had as part of his treatment), but other risk factors are immunocompromised people too. I'd maintain my position that living a life as he seems to have been, could mean he has been immunocompromised for donkeys years, not 2 months since he got nerve agent on himself.
Or he could be just "unlucky" like the other person who contracts it every single day, myself included near 40 years ago now.
Now, we could go on to debate whether his lifestyle contributed to him becoming contaminated by Novichok, as my comment refers to the "whole situation". I'd submit that "IF" the contamination was via a discarded bottle found in a bin or dump, well I'd not be at much risk of contamination myself. Yes, a council worker could be, or even someone doing a local cleanup, but that doesn't appear to be the case here. Perhaps their lifestyle, chosen or otherwise, contributed to them being contaminated with this awful stuff? It's certainly possible, isn't it? And that is all I have said.

Also even if they knew the names very soon, they would have known they would be long gone so there's no need to name them at the time. Might as well complete the investigation and release everything together.

No, but he has meningitis now. He's been released from the Novichok poisoning several weeks ago. His meningitis may have nothing to do with the Novichoking. Hundreds of healthy people a year get meningitis who are perfectly healthy. But it can affect immune compromised people too, which could be due to the Novichok, but also due to other factors such as lifestyle factors.
Or it could be directly attributable to his treatment for the neve agent, as I mention in my post just above, ie intravenous blood products which some studies can increase meningitis risk.
Or, the guy may be just bloody unlucky, just like the other 350 odd people a year who get meningitis.

Who is saying "fk em?". Read and quote the WHOLE post I wrote, which I wrote, incidently, as a survivor of meningitis myself! I clearly state that I hope it isn't as bad as his brother, (not any clinicians, doctors etc) is reporting in the papers.

But I stand my comments and concern that a lifestyle such as the one lead by these victims of this poisoning cannot "help matters". It cannot be helping him in his fight against meningitis and indeed could be a major factor in him contracting it, AS COULD his Novichok poisoning and subsequent treatment.
But it is a fact that the poor sods accidently infected by the Novichok discarded container live a lifestyle that the majority of us don't live, ie homeless, history of drug use and abuse etc, one could argue it is a significant contributory factor to the poisoning itself. IE they were more at risk of finding a discarded container etc compared to people who live a more conformist life?
I reiterate, I hope it is not as bad as the brother is making out to the press, and I hope that his meningitis treatment is as successful as mine was!

Well there seems to be so much language you seem to not understand, Eric (pretend to not understand), I thought if I chucked an expletive that I am sure you every day, you may "get it" this time.laugh

You're a deliberately obtuse bore, always have been on here, always will be. Everyone knows it, so fill your boots, son.....old dog, new tricks, and all that!. biggrinlaugh

The Telegraph said:
They stayed in the two-star City Stay Hotel, in Bow, east London, during their stay in the UK.

Officers searching their room on May 4 discovered traces of Novichok, but Scotland Yard said there is no risk to other guests.
Well, that explains why the authorities are so certain it was these two.

As for the two suspects whose aliases we have not only did they fly out after the attack but do you reckon they are actually still alive - I don’t. Once they returned home their paymaster be it Putin or another business rival will have had them disposed of so there’s no one to tell the full tale and connect it to the paymaster. I very much doubt anyone will ever stand trial over this.


On another note, Charlie Rowley you didn’t deserve this. Hope you turn things around and try to live a happy and productive life.

Of course I understand your foul language. That's why I don't like it.

Name calling - cursing - being generally obnoxious.

Yep - no changes there.
