My comment was already an afterthought.
She has, since the tightly supervised call to her cousin, only spoken through the UK police. As here …http://news.met.police.uk/news/statement-issued-on-behalf-of-yulia-skripal-302508
So the world is offered the opportunity to believe that the text emanates from her or is entirely invented by Scotland Yard.
In another statement through the same channels she said she doesn’t want any contact with her family.
I’m afraid I don’t believe any of it. I doubt they will let she and her father confer. He probably has some ideas of his own who is the likely poisoner.
I don’t think anyone will ever see either of them again.

Sorry, I’ve been out of range
I know, I don’t want this to disappear, pretty much like MH17 has, having served its purpose.
I wonder if Yulia has been visiting Sergey?
In touch with family, friends, workmates?
Its highly unlikely that she would cut them all off on her own volition
I wonder if she will experience an “unexpected decline”What about her medical records?
Shouldn’t they be widely shared with the medical authorities of all countries, in the interests of public safety
The one thing the UK never seems to have asked the Russians is “Do you have an antidote?Whats the treatment?”

“So who’s paying them and supplying their arms?”

My pick is the Saudis. They are in a mini-regional conflict with Iran for regional supremacy. Israel must be laughing all the way to the Wailing Wall!!!

Yes, well intelligence services have their fingers in all sorts of pies, BTW, do you know that Greenpeace and the CIA have had a close relationship from the get go and no doubt still do if those weird American guys in the main Greenpeace office recruiting the poor bastards who assail pedestrians for their contact details and then their money are anything to go by. Those petitions are just to get random people’s contact details.

What are they going to do with Yulia now Francesca?
They say they are going to give her a new identity and send her to a 5 eyes country. Maybe she will turn up next door but I doubt it.
But she is going to be curious. Even with a new identity and starting full of the May/Boris story, she is going to get on the internet. She is going to discover that the half of the world that thinks at all does not think she was poisoned by the Russian government. How are they going to stop her going home as her new self to find out? What are they going to do when she tells them to f*** off and let her go home anyway. They have to keep her and her father isolated and imprisoned indefinitely . Or dispatched.
It would be good to keep a “Where’s Yulia” theme alive.

So who’s paying them and supplying their arms?

Yes the civil war in Spain was assisted by people from all over the globe but they didn’t take their own cannons and tanks that they happened to have spare in the back yard.

But it is opinion that makes our “journalists” look like pre schoolers doing finger painting compared to Van Gogh.

“For decades the BBC denied that job applicants were subject to political vetting by MI5. But in fact vetting began in the early days of the BBC and continued until the 1990s. Paul Reynolds, the first journalist to see all the BBC’s vetting files, tells the story of the long relationship between the corporation and the Security Service.”

Apparently they stopped in the nineties. Oh, right, that’s good then. All above board these days. Apparently they’ve got a chap called O’Brien in in charge of the news department these days so it’s all under control.

Nothing to see here, move along.
