Russian Embassy expresses 'serious concern'

The Russian Embassy in London has said it is "seriously concerned" by the reporting of the incident in the UK, adding that it took an "anti-Russian campaign" in Britain "to new levels".

It comes after the Kremlin denied any suggestion Russia had poisoned Mr Skripal and said it was open to cooperating with Britain to find out what had happened.

When asked about speculation in the British press that Russia had been involved with Mr Skripal's illness, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: "It didn't take them long."

Mr Skripal's illness was "a tragic incident", he added.

Re: New UK-Russia Tensions after Ex-Russian Spy Poisoned in Salisbury

Let's see what happens now but it's not looking great. Much like Litvinenko. Also much like Litvinenko in that this toxin appears to have put others around him, like the medical staff, at risk. They had to close the A&E.

If Russia did do it then action needs to be taken surely?

I see Boris is flapping his mouth again

STFU Boris, this has nothing to do with football.

He has since clarified he meant everyone but the team (and fans).

Still you wouldn't want to be the team about to play Russia....bring your own food testers.

Of course if they are found to be guilty, Boris is talking of further sanctions, you know what my views on sanctions are though.

I saw a Journo on twitter say former British Spy, Christopher Steele was the lead MI6 investigator of the Litvinenko case. As we know, Steele is the one who allegedly got unverified information from Russians for the 'Russia Trump Dossier'.

---------- Post added at 14:23 ---------- Previous post was at 14:15 ----------

Latest from Scotland Yard: Counter Terrorism Police now taking over the investigation of this case, I am assuming this will involve MI6 involvement.

I think they have to be dead for it to be considered as suicide (or murder)...

Re: New UK-Russia Tensions after Ex-Russian Spy Poisoned in Salisbury

A lot of Putin's critics/opposition are notoriously haphazard about their personal safety and keep getting into accidents. Are we sure that isn't what happened here?

Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, but the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, etc. etc., is unlikely not to have a common cause...

The common cause is that these people keep getting into accidents of their own making Hugh. To suggest otherwise about someone as great as Putin, a man who definitely was not able to poison people in the UK , is crazy!

Doubtless the Trumpster will be condemning his Russian pals (not).

We are not having another discussion about Trump here. Unless he or America has some involvement as this story develops then keep on topic.
