    I suspect that the gentlemen of The Circus know perfectly well who did it, and why. If it was a Russian state-sponsored assassination, the problem is quite what we can do about it. Realpolitik, b. Immer Realpolitik.

    The bit that really confuses me is the theatricality. Nerve agents, poisoned umbrellas, polonium... these KGB types are just wannabe Bond villains, aren't they?

    Why not simply shoot the **** through the head?

    Well Scotland, Wales and N Ireland obviously knew something like this would happen so did it months ago... we will withdraw after about 10 days of the WC

    Also, Nerve gas is fairly identifiable as state sponsored. Not exactly readily available

    As I say, because anyone can do that. This way, the correct individuals ensure they get the credit, the mark is added to their scorecard.
    "Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.

    "But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."

    Because they're vulgar barbarians with no sense of how things are supposed to be done.

    I quite like the weird theory about another Clinton murder, bumping him off before he spills something about Steele's (to whom he was connected) dodgy dossier, while blaming Russia as an excuse to ramp up the defcon even further. #WereAllGoingToDie
    #SpiritCooking ?

    I'm guessing one should only Google that with extreme caution, by the way.

    Tell me a, do you see Comrade Putin as a sort of benevolant figure, father of the Russian people and friend to all the peoples of the world, unfairly maligned and smeared and the victim of all sorts of bizarre conspiracies?

    I mean, why would the rest of the world constantly want to make up stuff about the chap and his regime?
