“'Putin dismisses May's demand for Skripal suspects as pair meet at G20
“The prime minister warned that UK-Russia relations cannot return to 'business as usual' unless Moscow changes its ways”

The photo of Theresa May shaking hands with Putin in Osaka is pathetic.
You either shake hands, or you don’t.
Theresa May tries doing both at the same time. It is just shabby political theater she engages in, a cheap photo for the folks back home.
As I've said many times, we do not have a single piece of sound proof that Theresa May's version of what happened with the Skripal Affair is what indeed happened.
Why is that, do you think?
I have a strong bias towards facts. I would accept her version in an instant, were there some proof.
I do know something happened, but I don't know what.
The burden has always been on Theresa May to clarify, but she has never even attempted to do so.
She just makes accusations, over and over, like a recording stuck in a groove.
Truth be told, her manner and words on the whole matter greatly resemble those of Donald Trump on important matters, devoid of facts and packed with highly-biased rhetoric, only hers are not so noisy and obnoxiously phrased.
I think that tells us something. Not a single independent and critical-minded person on earth believes Donald Trump on anything. The man’s mind is a rubbishy collection of bias and illusions and narcissistic self-deception.
Does Theresa May’s performance in the Skripal Affair reflect the same kind of incompetence she has so long displayed over Brexit? I do think so.
And where is Theresa May's ethical or moral concern over some truly brutal behavior for which we do have proof, hard proof, that of the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia?
Not a word. But real handshakes and billions in sales of armaments just continue as though nothing had happened.
