Thread: Former Russian spy critically ill in Britain after exposure to unidentified substance

As no extradition treaty is presently in place between the UK and Russia, then quite simply the Russians were not obliged to do so. As there was no legal framework to compel them to comply with the British governments request (note the word request, because that's all the British government could do). Which is unlike this situation where an internationally agreed convention is in place, and the British government is in breach of the convention by not granting physical access to the Skripals.


The Russians did however offer the Met Police physical access to the Litvenyenko suspect in Russia for questioning, see here:

The problem as ever is that the British government does not hesitate to get on their political high horse and preach about moral standards to all and sundry when it suits their agenda. However when the situation is reversed they are conspicuously quite, ie hypocrites to the core.

Put quite simply granting the Russian access to the Skripals does not suit the agenda the British government is pushing, because to do so would raise a whole new load of awkward questions requiring uncomfortable answers. Which in all likely hood would further undermine the British governments narrative on this whole affair.

Which is not giving the Russians another chance to kill them.

I think your clutching at straws now, because if that were really the case. Then I am sure the two sides could be accommodated in two adjoining rooms separated by a laminated glass window between them, and any conversation would be via a telephone handset. it could all be videoed and taped for posterity for everyone to see, then we would know for sure exactly the situation.

This would be exactly the same process as to how maximum security prisoners are allowed to communicate with their visitors/relatives, but at the same time any exchange of contraband items are prevented from been passed from visitor to prisoner.

You don't know much about security, do you?

Let Skripal phone his mum.

There is no argument 'arry couldn't kill...

Give him a break, I've got a mia noi or two to feed and dress. They're quite capable of undressing themselves, but are exhausted and need assistance just to stand up, on their wobbly legs, afterwards.

You've always got a hot date with tuskers to fall back on.

Spill the beans, is she gentle or a domineering type?

She? I think it's a big black bloke mate.

In your dreams.

I've managed adoration in the past, the present and probably in the future. Give a little of what they want and they're happy. Give it all and they are never satisfied.

Yulia Skrpal has spoken to Reuters.

Skripal spoke in Russian and supplied a statement that she said she had written herself in both Russian and English. She signed both documents after making her statement.

'I'm grateful for the offers of assistance from the Russian Embassy. But at the moment I do not wish to avail myself of their services,' Skripal, who wore a light blue summer dress and bore a scar on her neck said.


'Also, I want to reiterate what I said in my earlier statement, that no one speaks for me, or for my father but ourselves.'

Or to paraphrase: "Fuck off Putin".

She also said she would like to return to Russia one day. Presumably when the old c u n t has pegged it.

I should imagine anyone that can string a sentence together with words of more than one syllable would seem posh to you.

So, who can say it's not transparent ('arry surely will not say)...
And we can see in her eyes the fear of Mr. Putin's henchmen around...
Everybody happy now?

The Reuter’s article refers to a written statement which she read aloud and then refused to address any questions. My point is that the English is very strange, as if written by someone who’d attended an English public school and unlikely to have been composed by Ms Skripal herself. This really adds nothing to the question of what actually happened but does imply that the victims are under the control of the security services.

Yes, because there's no way a university educated woman can write properly, is there?

Didn't I say, 'arry has an answer to any comment.
(can it be called "a clue"?)

indeed, not unusual that PR services are being used in a such a case

after all, it's another political manipulation by Theresa May government

^In Bliar's govt they had a specialist Alastair Campbell. He is now an ambassador for "mental health charities".

He resigned in August 2003 during the Hutton Inquiry into the death of David Kelly. He published his thirteenth book in 2017. He is editor at large of The New European and chief interviewer for GQ magazine. He continues to act as a consultant strategist and as an ambassador for Time To Change and other mental health charities.

Exactly, and done this way to ensure that no awkward questions were asked.

With the exception of the Tacheotomy, she looks to be in remarkably good health, ie with no obvious physical impairments (remember this deadly substance is supposed to cause long term and debilitating medical complications due to permanently blocking nerve path ways). I find it strange that someone could be exposed to such a toxic substance, then be put into a medically induced coma for a month, and then look as fresh as a daisy less than 3 months later.
