Assuming there weren't signs at the station saying 'this way to go to see Ye Olde shit' (which there usually are), why would they go in the opposite direction?

It's as if you're only reading what you can be arsed to.

I did actually give a possible reason for this, based on a quick glance of google maps. Go read.

You can make up any excuse you want for why they were near Skripal's house. It doesn't make it any less suspicious that they went in the direction opposite to the one that was their stated purpose for being there, AND that it just happened to take them near Skripal's house who was poisoned that same day.

By near, you mean 500 meters. They haven't been placed closer.

The point is, it's in the wrong direction. But fine, ignore that point again and again. All tourists love walking aimlessly around A roads near residential areas.

You say that like it's proof of their guilt. Walking around aimlessly is EXACTLY what lots of tourists do.

They can't make the train run any faster or leave the station sooner though can they? What's the point of rushing back to the station?

Ok fair enough, this I can't refute. If they are indeed guilty, maybe they're just not in a hurry because they know they half half an hour to kill. Fine.

It's in the wrong direction? So you didn't read my post about how they can come out of the station on the south, turn right, and end up looping back into Salisbury from the NW.

I read it, I just didn't find it convincing. Of course you can find a way back from the NW to the station. So what? You can find a way from any direction you go in back to the station.

There's a lot of circumstantial evidence. Their story is fishy and full of holes. They're spotted near Skripal's house.

You keep saying this like it means something. They have not been placed closer than 500 meters. If they are seen actually on the housing estate, well then I would agree it beomces fishy. But being on an A-road in what is a small city half a kilometer from someone's house, that isn't fishy, not unless you're reading biased MSM articles that are written for the very purpose of making people think they are guilty.

[OngBonga]

That's my problem with this... everything I've read from the MSM or the British Government is written in such a way to present these guys as guilty.

That tells me they're not.

Are there CCTV cameras by Skripal's house that DIDN'T see them? 'cause that would be exonerating evidence.
The lack of footage of them closer to Skripal's is understandable if there weren't any cameras there because it's a residential area. If the camera footage shows them as close to his house as you can be while still being on public CCTV, that's suspicious.

I doubt footage will be released that proves their innocence, if it even exists. I'm unaware of any witnesses who claim to have seen them.

Further, the Skirpals' movements were caught on camera, they left Salisbury at 9.15am and returned at 1.15pm. The precise nature of their movements being caught, I'm not so sure, but if it's outside their house, well the lack of evidence proving the Russians were there is very much telling.
