Exactly. They don't give a shit, and they also know there are a small number of nutjobs here who will swallow it and incorporate it into the ever-circling spiral of conspiracist nonsense which already has the power to influence politics in the West.

I absolutely love this story. When I've read historical stories about the crazy shenanigans going on between political fronts and leaders of other countries, I get a feeling of joy and wonderment. To be living in a time when it still goes on makes me feel oddly happy!

Reading the summary of the interview with these Russian tourists brings a sly smile across my face. I mean, they're having a good bit of fun aren't they?

It looks that way. Plus it will have a possible deterrent effect on any other would be spies/defectors. The message is clear. We will get you and we don't give a f*ck what the world thinks about it.

I think they're only trying to convince the Russian people, they don't give a shit what we think.

I wouldn't be so quick to credit them with being that subtle.  There is a distinct possibility that this is a serious attempt to protest their innocence.  Russia isn't known for its finesse.

I still agree with whoever said Putin's Poisoners is a good name for a band.

So long as they don't hire any Russian electricians/light crew/roadies ...

That's not the emotion I'm feeling. It's depressing that after all the world has been through, we're still dumb enough to accept two obvious bad actors like trump and putin.

I agree with that too. I know my post sounded ignorant and stupid. I just feel helpless to change it so may as well chill out and smile at the insanity of the world we live in.

Hahahahahaha.........

No, seriously....


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

Sorry but you're wrong.

I know someone who works for the tourist board who is pleased with this publicity. She says they have invested heavily in marketing Salisbury to the Russians with remarkable results, although she did say that maybe the Russian Traitor Tour guide bus shouldn't have stopped outside the Skripal's house for photos.

As far as she is concerned this is just a smear campaign by the British state aided by the BBC.

I recommend not buying the 'perfume' in the gift shop.

One thing i find really odd about all of this is Amesbury.

I have a relative who lives opposite the baptist church in Amesbury literally 15 metres away. The dya the two civillians were poisoned i was there visiting said relative. We even walked past the baptist church a few times that day at the time they were there (there was a community BBQ going on).

At the time they cordoned off the field they were using and the baptist church, roll forwards to now the field is all clear howver the baptist church is still cordoned off with 24 hour guards. Given what we now about where these people found the perfume bottle etc this is really strange and something doesn't add up to me.
