There’ll be a lot of nervous British agents.
@Féach News: why?
@Dermot Lane: when she tells how they got sick, the Brits will have an awful lot of explaining to do. Why are her family not allowed visit her? This entire story stinks. I have been consistent since the start of this story in saying the Russians had nothing to gain from killing these people. But the Brits had a lot to gain.
@Cal Mooney: yep. All the experts say the same thing. Makes no sense for Russia to carry out something like this now, the World Cup coming up in 8 weeks being an obvious reason, they have the ultimate propaganda tool they won’t want to ruin that opportunity by starting another Cold War.
@Féach News: lol!!, brilliant!!
@neilo: All the experts that keep the tinfoil trade going
@neilo: *whispers* the experts in their heads!
@neilo: “We iz experts”
@Cal Mooney: Absolute tripe. Putin is a dangerous little boy and you’re a sad little troll.
@Féach News: what do you mean ?
@Féach News: there will be a few worried Russian agents worried that they failed in their task……
The British government are now having to backtrack on the source of the “nerve gass” and may have acted in haste.
The doctors at Salisbury Hospital are now questioning the Tories version of the “story”.
@Christy Nolan: You got a link to the article on that? I be interested in reading it but this smelt from day one.
@Christy Nolan: If that were to prove the case then Boris Johnson needs to apologise personally to Putin.
@B9xiRspG:
Twitter is awash with “reports” of the Medical Consultant’s comments at Salisbury Hospital.
@neilo: It’s okay to be sceptical of government narratives mate, they’re not always trustworthy you know.
@Christy Nolan: Twitter being a reputable source of information, given the high levels of security against folks being able to say whatever they damn please?
@Christy Nolan: do u think the earth is flat aswell
@Kenneth O Brien: as a pancake! Lol!
@Christy Nolan: What ‘backtracking’ would be that be then? Answers on a postcard please.
@neilo: I dunno man. All I know is that every time this story pops up, Peter Gabriel starts playing in my head.
@neilo: I did not believe the information… I just had to trust imagination… my heart going boom boom boom.. son, he said, grab your shit I’ve come to take you home… la la la, la la la la, la la la….
@Christy Nolan: Teitter! Lol! This is just another fascist troll circle jerk. You have no evidence of backtracking. Period.
@Christy Nolan: how do you know this ? If you can’t send a meaningful link I’ll have to guess it’s false propaganda
@Philip G Roark: You remind me of Phillip Gerard. Angry little man.
@Christy Nolan: so Twitter is your source ? Wow, it must be true so :)
@Michael Farrelly: Can you send a meaningful link proving without a shadow of a doubt that Russia was responsible for the nerve agent attack? And “because Theresa May says so” doesn’t count. If not I’ll have to guess it’s false propaganda.
@Michael Farrelly: Christy Nolan is as fake as his news
The brits should Look at m15
@Michael Walsh:
AGS could be helpful in advising the Brits.
@Michael Walsh: I’m sure many Brits see enough of the M15. As for MI5 and 6 you’re not allowed to look at them.
@Michael Walsh: you have inside information ?
Leo took the word of British intelligence as gospel and ordered a Russian diplomat to leave Ireland. Will he now revoke that order until there is actually some proof?
@Cal Mooney:
He’s (Leo) waiting for instructions from Angela M.
@Cal Mooney: good on you Leo, ignore these sheep on here
I’d say MI6 are sweating with this news!
@James Le Fleur:
Digital Truth are running a poll on this story.
Only 5% believe the government with 11% unsure
Twitter.
@Christy Nolan: same on any subject these days , the whole online space if full of keyboard warriors professing expertise on everything from nerve agents , MI5 , Fire brigade water pressures and building design , data analytics , you name it and theres every opinion imaginable online – online polls measuring ‘belief’ in governments versions of events are pretty meaningless and should all be taken with a healthy dose of cynicism – not to mention a high % of the nonsense in online comment sections like here.
@Dave Hammond: so how do YOU form your opinions ?
Tell me so I may do a wee critique
@Christy Nolan: That’s very scientific there, a Twitter poll. No one is buying your crap.
@James Le Fleur: dont you mean MI5 ???????????
The UK government and their rotten lying MSM are shifing the goal posts on this story on a daily basis…they know their offical narrative has no foundation and is slowly unraveling.
@noBankAccBertie: It will be Iran’s fault soon wait until you see
@neilo:
“Tragedy to Farce” is the title of one British report.
Car, handbag, front door handle, coffee shop, army testing of nerve gas at nearby Salisbury Plain, 40 individuals affected, medical staff not wearing protective gear, policeman with blue flu, hospital consultant questioning government “fake news”, and all the while a brave British Bobby, without any protection, parading in frond of the ” nerve gassed ” home.
@neilo: I am pretty sure that if walked you around Salisbury by the hand, you would have trouble following him.
@Christy Nolan: I think you’ve been contaminated mate!
@Deborah Behan:
I was contaminated mate but I made a miraculous recovery.
@Christy Nolan: and your link is………Twittrr. such false propaganda
Will they come out and admit its not a nerve agent now that two people managed to recover from being poisoned by a supposed lethal weaponised Russian chemical weapon? These people should be vegetables or severally handicapped due to how nerve agents work by destroying the nervous system yet they are making quick recoveries. Still awaiting the international investigations conclusions.
There are the most serious issues behind this whole affair. Namely, the war preparations of a decadent American imperialist system in terminal decline. Leading the way to world war.
The issue is not at all Americans/British bad, Russians good. Their are no saviours out there. Even though Washington is by far the chief protagonist of worldwide violence, it is simply the lead actor in a worldwide economic system on the point of collapse.
The answer to the very real threat of barbarism is socialism.

@PV Nevin: “decadent American imperialist system” LOL you forgot to add ‘lickspittle’, ‘counter-revolutionary’ and “running dogs’ from that Pravda-esque ramble of yours.
@Harry Whitehead: maybe you don’t have the intellect to understand that you, and every other battery fed consumer of CIA / M15 media are being deceived daily by this media.
There was a report today in a German newspaper Former German Finance Minister Schäuble hopes “Britain will decide to stay in EU” after solidarity shown in #Skripal case “as they see: Europe works”. He‘s not been to Sunderland #Brexit @welt….. sounds suspicious.
Do I sense a certain desperation from those committed to a certain narrative in relation to Salisbury?
Looking increasingly like us sensible folk who asked for some evidence before repeating the Iraqi WMD false flag episode were…well….sensible!
@Dessie Deratta: no, here it’s just the usual few accounts who parrot what ever narrative is being pushed by msm and talking heads/party leaders. They poke, ridicule any comments that question it without critical thought. To question it labels you a Russian bot or anti British. Most people I’ve actually met, young and old have all had reservations about the events and have doubts about the official story and timeline. But of course, they must all be tinfoil hat crazys to question their supposed leaders position on the latest global trending story. #highlylikely
Weil’s disease can also cause similar health problems. Dead rats acting as welcome home cards can affect the mind.
The British should talk to gardai whistleblowers for advice.
@Christy Nolan: lol. Considering the nickname for MI6 is Rentokil.
@Patrick J. O’Rourke:
Perhaps they ignored “The Blight Warning” and eat those magic spuds.
@Christy Nolan: Ate you done posting yet, little boy?
@Christy Nolan: oh so now it’s weils disease. You couldn’t make it up. Oh wait, you just did
@Chris Kirk: actually its the opposite. VX was used on Kims half brother. The nerve agent used here is meant to be something like 20 times more potent / lethal.
All the fake russian accounts trying to deflect and masquerade as experts in nerve agents. Russia has truly won the propaganda war on this. Uses a nerve agent made in Russia, to an enemy of the Russian state. Yeah, I’m sure it was the Faroe Islands who did it.
“But where’s the proof?”
A buzzword propagated by Russian bots since this started to try create doubt.
What proof would be good enough for you? No the agent wasn’t made in England. No it wasn’t made in Uzbekistan, that facility was closed back in 1999. Yes it was made in Russia according to all available intelligence.
Why would anyone else want to harm an enemy of the Russian state and risk international sanctions?
Russia illegally annexes Crimea and gets away with it. Illegally uses nerve agents and gets away with it. Runs a propaganda farm and invades news articles with misinformation. So predictable.
@Seán Ó Briain: I am not Russian and I call BS on your assertions. We in Ireland have suffered multiple attacks by the British. They slaughtered many of our citizens and not one expulsion. .that is why so few fell for the propaganda from the British regime regarding this supposed attack. The whole story is unravelling by the minute and you come on here trying to paint Irish people as some sort of Russian cheerleaders. You should be ashamed of yourself. How is the tea in the British embassy today?
@Cal Mooney: “We in Ireland have suffered multiple attacks by the British” yet curiously Wally you neglected to mention any of this on the Journal until the recent and entirely unrelated events in Salisbury kicked off. Pure whataboutery, nothing else. At least the Shinnerbots on this site are consistent with their Evil Britz narrative – as opposed to the Putinbots who suddenly remembered it five minutes ago.
@Cal Mooney: I’m able to emotionally detach myself from British atrocities in Ireland in the past and look at this event objectively. You are not and that is the difference. I’ll set aside your address hominem attacks as they are not pertinent to the discussion at hand.
There are russian propaganda farms that invade news articles and spin doubt and deflect. It has been well documented. Whether or not you wish to accept this is of little consequence to me.
You as an individual may be real but that does not mean all putinista accounts are real. Just look at the type of accounts that come on here defending Russia. The vast majority are newly made anonymous accounts or Facebook profiles which have been closed.
This event absolutely points toward Russia. No other state would risk international sanctions for using a nerve agent. The UK is not going to use an illegal nerve agent against an individual that they have given refuge to. It makes no sense.
@Seán Ó Briain: your assumption on motive makes no sense whatsoever. With the world cup coming up, why would Russia want to blacks its name at this time. On the other hand, the British have method, means and motive to do it and the timing was perfect for them.
@Seán Ó Briain: how come you don’t challenge the likes of harry and other British accounts commenting from london. It seems you are intent to blame Russia no matter what. That smacks of bias.
As I commented many times, if it is proven the Russians were responsible, punish them. But if it looks like the Russians didn’t do it, then Britain must be punished for poisoning a Russian citizen
Russia is not being allowed to investigate or have access to any pertinent information in relation to their citizen being a victim. That appears to show the Brits are trying to hide something.
@Cal Mooney: What motivation, comrade?
@Cal Mooney: “why would Russia want to blacks its name at this time.”
Russia doesn’t care about its name. It didn’t care when it had Boris Nemtsov murdered, who had just prior to his death had written about Putin’s intent to kill him. It didn’t care when it poisoned Alexander Litvinenko. It didn’t care when it illegally annexed Crimea.
Russia doesn’t care about what the world thinks about it, which is why it gets away with what it gets away with.
When we try to establish the culprit of an attempted murder or a murder, we always try to establish motive. Sergei Skripal worked in Russia as a British spy. The motive of Putin having him killed to send a motive is a plausible one. The motive of Britain killing him, after giving him refuge does not seem plausible.
The nerve agent used was Russian. If the UK had him killed, where’s the motive? Why would they jeopardize relations with Russia, especially when they are leaving the EU and would likely benefit from a healthy trade deal with Russia? Why would they risk one of their own police officers and other members of the public? Why would they use a nerve agent developed in Russia? If they really wanted him killed and had a motive, this would seem like a pretty obfuscated way of doing so.
“It seems you are intent to blame Russia no matter what.”
I am not intent on anything. The circumstantial evidence points towards Russia as being the most likely culprit over anyone else. It is in Russia’s m.o to poison enemies of the Russian state. This attempt absolutely falls within their m.o.
@Cal Mooney: ” how come you don’t challenge the likes of harry and other British accounts commenting from london.”
I’ve been challenging the likes of Patrick Lyons and other quasi-unionists on this website for years. Also – there is a difference between individuals posting with an agenda, and a state-sponsored building, full of employees dedicated to posting propaganda like what is happening in Russia.
@Seán Ó Briain: very well said Sean
@Seán Ó Briain: well put but it makes no difference…….they are blind to the fact that its so obvious they are working for a nation state spreading bs……love is blind after all for these comrades
@Seán Ó Briain: at last someone here with a bit of intelligence!
@Cal Mooney: :(
@Gus Sheridan: I must be able to type faster than a room full of Russian agents then, as I have more comments than any other ‘not buying the british BS’ commentator on this article. Amazing, or your room full of Russian bits us blatantly false like everything about this case.
The British and Americans have been destabilising elected governments for decades, notably, the illegal removal of the Iranian president in the 1950s which precipitated the terrible decent into chaos which is today’s Middle East. The west, is the architect of political and covert interference in other countries affairs, NATOs sole rationale for existence is war, and last but not least, the United States military has been responsible for he deaths of over 20 million people since he end of the Second World War. Russia is not the enemy
Bit odd that you changed both the headline and content of this article?
Weed killer is now trending.
You have to laugh.
The Russian trolls are out in force on this thread. Too bad that no one with a drop of sense is buying anything they post. Go back to your proPutin threads on Twitter and subreddits and come up witj some new material.
Squeaky Bum time.. I fear things are about to kick off. Putin not one for apologies!!
@Sean og S: sounds like you admire the dictator
@Sean og S: thus has made Putin look stupid in Russia among the people below him on the ladder, a massive miscalculation on his part and the good news is there are 100 less Russian spies in Europe and beyond. Well done Vlad!
Won’t be be long now until condition red alert ,hope iodion tablet still works other wise won’t be to survive a direct nuclear blast, survived an economic,banking, housing,and hse, meltdown, a nuclear blast will be a walk in the park,not going to take any chances though off to the pub now
Most nerve agents have antidotes,to protect the aggressors troops…
have your say
