Novichok yet again in Wiltshire!

It was said on the news yesterday they had a drug problem , or use to have a drug problem

Don’t (regular) drug users know about needles?
Apart from the risk from the drugs, contaminated needles bring all sorts of other dangers. ?

Bloody phone!!

I'm sure you are beautiful but it was meant to say Beau!

Annie,

Beautiful, what made you say that?

The poor couple, I pray they will make a full recovery.

I think Prince Phillip did it

Looks as though they were drug users and picked up the needle or syringe used for the original attack - where they found it was outside the area where tens of millions of pounds were spent on the clean up.

Ok then, the GRU.

KGB disbanded in 1991

Yes Jalima, I wondered that too. Perhaps the remote tentacles of the KGB?

The emergency services are at risk too Wildswan it must be so worrying for people living in the area, I agree with you about some comments on here.

Help - no-one told me French knitting was banned. Dgd and I are doing it currently!!

I think we all agree wildswan but ridiculous theories deserve ridiculous answers.

It is an extremely worrying development and I hope the two people concerned will make a good recovery.

This must be really frightening for those living nearby. I can't believe some of the comments above. At least two people are in danger of dying, and many others could be affected.

The police and emergency services have to assume the worst to protect the public.

could it be an attack timed by the bloomin’ obvious to put a halt to the England football team continuing in the World Cup?
Alima I take it that was said with tongue in cheek

Groan

Oh flipping eck - not another reason for a Brexit/ non Brexit diatribe [ grin]

The connection with staying in Europe or not eludes me completely.
It's just that everything is connected to Brexit Luckygirl (at least on every GN thread that is - even the fact that French knitting has now been banned).

I feel sorry for the people in the Salisbury area too; the one-off incident was worrying but another one now not far away is an extremely worrying development.

Indeed henetha - very worrying for them all.

I feel sorry for people who live in the Salisbury/Amesbury area. They must be worried sick.

I am....

IUam used to appearing stupid!!

Good post lucky, I was wondering but didn't want to risk appearing stupid!!

The connection with staying in Europe or not eludes me completely. If that connection is so elusive, then the aims have failed it would seem.

Are you suggesting that, if Britain were out of the EU, then no European country would co-operate in the investigation?

Firstly of course I wish the two people affected in this latest situation a full recovery. Secondly, as opposed to the ‘B’ reason, (“ not again” to quote Brenda from Bristol), could it be an attack timed by the bloomin’ obvious to put a halt to the England football team continuing in the World Cup?

All the more reason to stay in Europe ( sorry!), this is not a time to isolate ourselves politically. Would be nice to hear what Trump says, he is meeting Putin soon.
