Agent Corbyn?

Critically ill man 'former Russian spy'

A man who is critically ill after being exposed to an unknown substance in Wiltshire is a Russian national convicted of spying for Britain, the BBC understands.

Sergei Skripal, who is 66, was granted refuge in the UK following a "spy swap" between the US and Russia in 2010.

Fentanyl has been suspected.

You'll probably find the mysterious agent used to nobble these two people is not called Corbyn.

As you say, is might be Fentanyl which has killed over 60 people in the last year or so in the UK, with a further 70 deaths pending forensic reports.

We know you despise Corbyn, but don't you think that it's a bit in poor taste ?

Putting aside the human cost of this event which has already been done by the OP. Not sure what else can be said apart from joking, annexing Ukraine was the time to tackle Russia. And May, she can't even take on a caricature Victorian Scrooge Rees-Mogg and  BoJo the Clown, let alone Putin. This will be denied and lost in claim and counter claim of conspiracy.

Boris quotes are famous and well documented, especially his put-down quotes on other politicians. This is what he said about Putin:

"He has questions to answer about the death of Alexander Litvinenko, pitilessly poisoned in a London restaurant. As for his reign in Moscow, he is allegedly the linchpin of a vast post-Soviet gangster kleptocracy, and is personally said to be the richest man on the planet. Journalists who oppose him get shot. His rivals find themselves locked up. Despite looking a bit like Dobby the House Elf, he is a ruthless and manipulative tyrant."

Which one Mogg or BoJo, I'd say both?


What is the government going to do apart from send out BoJo the clown to mutter a witty ditty with some diplomatic threats, like that will scare Putin and bring him in.

Umpteen deaths which have suspicions of Russian state involvement on British soil. Anyway, what would London grad real-estate do without all that Russian wealth, hell, what would the finance sector do. They are stamping their feet over that other thing we are negotiating, the UK establishment would go into proper meltdown if the flow of the Russian ruble was really severely restricted, bit of non story, unfortunate for the victims who are just collateral damage.

That's why I put him on ignore moths ago. Nice and peaceful.

If you're going to betray your country what do you expect. Hes obviously got what he had coming to him. We should have a bit of backbone and do the same to theirs too.
