JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: BRITISH PRESS JUST WON'T GIVE UP SUPPORTING THEIR RECKLESS PRIME MINISTER'S CLAIMS - EVEN PAPERS POLITICALLY OPPOSED TO HER - HERE'S A TRIVIAL EFFORT FROM ONE




COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY HARRY COCKBURN IN THE INDEPENDENT


“Soviet-era scientists appear to contradict Moscow’s claims that Russia never made Novichok nerve agent
“'Russia does not possess such agents,' Vladimir Putin said last week”

"Soviet-era scientists appear to contradict Moscow’s claims that Russia never made Novichok nerve agent”

You just won't give up this nonsense, will you?

It matters not at all whether Russia ever made this agent.

It has no bearing on the questions concerning Salisbury.

First, your own Porton Down experts would not state that the samples came from Russia, but that they were "of a type created by Russia."

Not only do we know others have made this agent, we know its formula has been published.

We also know, Russia, in keeping with international obligations, destroyed its stocks of chemical weapons, as opposed to the US, which has not.

That's quite a distinction, at least for thinking people.
