(ANTIMEDIA Op-ed) — At this critical juncture in modern history where tensions run at an all-time high between world powers that possess extensive nuclear weapons supplies, the United States and the United Kingdom would do well to re-educate themselves on the art of diplomacy. Instead, the United Kingdom has put its foot on the throttle, openly blaming Russia […]
With the eyes of the world focused on the alleged nerve agent attack on Sergei Skripal, the Russian who worked as a British double-agent before being exiled to the UK in 2010, since he and his daughter were found slumped on a Salisbury public bench last Sunday, one can’t help but notice the hypocritical reaction of the British political establishment to the attack.
Addressing the House of Commons on Monday, Prime Minister Theresa May alleged Kremlin involvement in the incident due to ‘Russia’s record of conducting state-sponsored assassinations’.

After days of hysteria and of mounting speculation, and after having stoked up by her statement on Monday expectations of stern action against Russia to stratospheric levels, Theresa May produced a package of ‘sanctions’ today which do no more than expose the weakness of Britain’s hand.
This is how the BBC describes them
Hours following Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov’s public rejection of Theresa May’s ultimatum, the Russian embassy in London has sent the British Foreign Office a formal note denying Russian involvement in the Skripal attack.
In the meantime there have been a stream of warnings from Moscow.
Russia has now publicly responded to the British government’s ultimatum – set out in Theresa May’s statement yesterday – that unless Russia provides a ‘credible response’ to the British enquiry about Russia’s custody of Novichok chemicals by close of business today, then the British government will treat the attack on Skripal as the action of the Russian state.
After a week of speculation and allegations British Prime Minister Theresa May has finally spoken about the murder attempt on the former British spy Sergey Skripal, which has left both him and his daughter critically ill.
This how the Guardian reports her statement
The British GDP saw retarded growth statistics for the fourth quarter of 2017 at just 0.4% on its second growth estimate. The annual 1.4% was also below the quarter’s year-to-year initial estimate of 1.5%.
About 80% of British GDP comes from the service sector, which is where the majority of growth occurred. Falling to the floor of the G7 growth table, the UK was the slowest growing major economy in the world during 2017. Business Insider carries the report:

When confronted about human rights issues going on in Saudi Arabia, who May is conducting a major arms sale with, British Prime Minister simply responds to Parliament’s Labour Party leader with ridicule together with the accusation that his concerns are “mansplaining”, and therefore don’t merit a response.
After days of feverish speculation in the British media in the Skripal case based on rumour rather than fact, the British police have now released information which firms up the facts.
Firstly, they have confirmed that the chemical agent used in the attack on Skripal and his daughter was a nerve agent; and second they have said that the attack was a targeted assassination attempt.
