The book it was based on is non-fiction, so you're not too far out.

Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons says "there is no record of the Novichok group of nerve agents having been declared by a state party to the Chemical Weapons Convention"

Ouch! So this chemical agent is effectively illegal and uncontrolled yet Vlad has stockpiles and is potentially still producing it as well as lobbing it around Zizzi’s
Dis ain’t gonna end well. Get digging those shelters
Funny thing is, they initially admitted they had novichok but 10 other countries also had small stockpiles of it, including at Porton Down.
Now they've switched the story to not knowing what it is and never having had it, and maybe this attempted murder never happened at all.
Anyone at this point who doesn't think the Russians did this are ignoring what's right in front of their face. This isn't propaganda - this is what the Russians wanted; to be feared. Of course they did it and of course they wanted everyone to know they did it.

Haha, no idea - there's a lot of conjecture, although if it is the case, I would have thought he'd use it to greater effect, more professionally, and once we'd left the eu,and the us had become more isolated.

Listening to Bernard Jenkins on 5 live Wednesday, his summary was that London and the city of London was awash with dirty Russian money. To say I was surprised an active Tory MP would openly critique the finance sector was an understatement, still it goes to show how far the web of dirty Russia is entwined in Britain and it's rattling the likes Jenkins. He is one of the few that have backed Labour for tighter money laundering policy, one this Government is very keen not to do.

You mentioned it was at Porton Down. And 9 other places. UK govt won't provide evidence, but you have it. You're that sure.
Thank you. Is the danger 45 minutes away?

The only country we can say for sure that has this 'nerve agent' is the UK.Seeing that it was analysed at the UK 's Porton Down chemical research facility, why haven't the UK ever told the OPCW they have it? Odd really. The only known country with this 'nerve agent' has 3 people in hospital said to be poisoned by this 'nerve agent'.

I believe it's permitted for research purposes, so maybe that's a different registry. The us and others must have it too.
