"Boris Johnson tells Putin there will be no normalisation of UK-Russia relationship..."
“Prime minister warns Russian leader that Salisbury attack ‘must not be repeated’”
It's a pity and very short-sighted.
And, of course, it's just blindly doing what the US wants done, demonizing Russia. British servility over respect for truth.
Salisbury attack? What Salisbury attack? It's based on nothing of substance.
Britain has never provided us with convincing evidence that anything happened other than two people got sick on a bench, and they did so after a lengthy period of time completely at odds with the known effects of nerve agents, which kill in a few minutes, at most.
I have a strong bias for facts and will accept what's proved.
Even if it were to damage the most exemplary world statesman of our time.
But hurling ugly accusations with no evidence only damages the British Prime Ministers doing it, people already recognized for mediocrity and no strong attachment to truth.
All Salisbury has ever been is assertions and scraps of information with no cohesive meaning, and no one has ever been allowed once to interview the “victims.” They’ve been made to disappear, itself a rather ominous fact. The claims of the Skripal Affair are as convincing as Theresa May’s long-winded and tedious efforts with the EU.
