Skripal case

As one might imagine, and like most everyone else, I've been watching the developments in Syria, and the "West", with a great deal of…

The next few weeks could potentially be the most difficult and most dangerous of Theresa May’s ill starred UK Premiership.
On 18th April 2018 the OPCW’s executive council is due to meet.  One of the subjects of discussion is expected to be the OPCW’s report on the Skripal case.

As has now become apparent for some time, the British case against Russia in the Skripal case is based entirely on intelligence of a sort that will never be produced in a court of law.
The conclusions of that intelligence – though not it should be stressed the intelligence itself – has now been revealed in a letter sent by Sir Mark Sidwell (Theresa May’s national security adviser) to NATO secretary-general Jens Stoltenberg.
Since this letter sets out the entirety of the British case against Russia in the Skripal case, I will reproduce it in full

With the world seemingly spiraling deeper into crisis over an alleged chemical attack in Douma, Syria and threats of direct conflict with Russia flying from Donald Trump’s Twitter account, Russia’s disarming but stern foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova sat down with the UK’s Sky News for a rare one-on-one interview.
Zakharova spoke in English in the over half an hour exchange, voicing Moscow’s position on US and allied threats of assault on Syria, and the status of ex-double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia, whom Russia stands blamed by London of poisoning.

The latest bizarre twist in the Skripal case came earlier today in the form of remarkable transcript Viktoria Skripal has provided of what she claims is a telephone conversation she has had with Yulia Skripal, who is currently in Salisbury hospital recovering from the Novichok attack.
My colleague Vladimir Rodzianko has set out this transcript in full.

The events of the last few days in the Skripal case provide an object lesson of why in criminal investigations the rules of due process should always be adhered to.  The reason the British now find themselves in difficulties is because they have not adhered to them.
This despite the fact that – as they all too often like to remind us – it was the British themselves who largely created them.

After being hospitalized in a poisoning in Salisbury, UK in early March, Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia, have been upgraded to a stable condition.

The Skripal case, where the Kremlin allegedly decided to wait until their supposed assassination target, a spy, made it all the way back home to Britain from Russia, where they had been for some time, used a banned chemical nerve agent, which would naturally be traced back to them, during the final days of their own presidential election, and at a time when the West was chomping at the bits for anything and everything they could get their hands on to blame on Russia, and where the Kremlin’s agents failed to actually get the job done, is rapidly losing weight on the credibility scale.
