You keep saying this like it means something.

Because it does.

They had no reason to be there, unless they were the dumbest tourists around who went halfway around the world to see something, got to a station within a mile or two of it, and then either didn't use a map or couldn't read a map. So instead they went wandering up a road that just by coincidence took them near Skripal's house.

Couldn't read a map? I have got lost in places I don't know countless times, simply by going left out of a station instead of right. It doesn't take me long to rectify myself,, naturally. I'm not dumb. But I can find myself going in the wrong direction.

They had every reason to be there. They were visiting Salisbury.

So the map tells you to go left and you go right? Sorry, but most poeple can tell their left from their right.

Also, were there no signs at the station saying 'this way to Ye Olde Shit'? 'Cause I'd be surprised if that were true.

I think there are missing parts to our story, where evidence is lacking. There's no evidence they had the poison on them or applied it to the door of Skripal's house. So it's hardly case closed.

But the lack of some key evidence is not evidence the rest of the story is a fabrication. And the inconsistencies in the Russian guys' story are quite suspicious.

The way the Govt and the Media have dealt with this is evendience of fabrication, at least for me.

I do think Putin could be in on it too, though. I mean it suits him just fine for us to be the enemy, it makes him popular and helps him justify his hugemilitary budgets.

But what we say happened, that's highly unlikely for me.

It's impossible for these guys to get a fair trial. If they were genuine suspects, there is no way we'd release the information we have, because we wouldn't want to risk them getting away with it on technicalities.

I don't see that. The judge looks at what is presented to him in court, he doesn't make up his mind by reading a newspaper. And we don't have jury trials here do we? So no need to worry about what Joe Public is being told in that sense.

I f they were genuine suspects, there is no way we'd release the information we have, because we wouldn't want to risk them getting away with it on technicalities.

What technicality is that? There's no law saying evidence leaked to media is therefore invalid.
