Alleged Novichok Perp(s) Hide in Rabbit Hole

Salisbury blogger has tough questions for Novichok investigators

If you enjoy going down rabbit holes, there's a guy living in Salisbury who will escort you there.  Despite that Rob Slane's writings put forth what I consider to be a faulty premise in that he seems to blame the death of Christianity for society's current evils, he also asks some brilliantly cogent questions about the investigation of the Novichok incident.

Blogmire: An Open Letter From a Salisbury Resident to Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu,  July 23, 2018 - Rob Slane

Excerpt:

• ... more than four months into the investigation into the poisoning of Sergei and Yulia Skripal, along with D.S. Nick Bailey, there are a couple of rather obvious things which investigators could have done, which would have facilitated the kind of information from the public called for by Mr Rowley, but which they have conspicuously failed to do.
• It is not as if [the Skripals] died, taking with them the secret of their movements on the morning of 4th March to the grave.
• And so what was once a mystery is surely a mystery no more. Isn’t finding out what their movements were on that morning now the simplest thing in the world, requiring no more detective work than just asking Mr Skripal some straightforward questions ...?

There's lots more where the above came from, but let's also hearken back to this provocative headline from The Independent - July 2018:

CCTV footage shows two people carrying and administering the nerve agent and others providing backup

The time-stamp 03/04/18 is much earlier than the article itself. The video shows two people, one carrying a bright red shoulder bag. Good thing it was red, or we might not have noticed it.

But also administering? And others providing backup? The video in no way bears out the statement accompanying it.  And it's that kind of mindless reporting that makes bloggers ask questions.

As for the latest CCTV "proof" showing two Russian guys, well we covered that here.

Video: Putin: Novichok suspects are "civilians".  (He knows that because he, personally, is the one who smuggled the poison into Britain.)
