To think that if you choose to be a Spy, that someone trying to bump you off, goes with the territory?

Just that really! Fed up of hearing about it now.

If you are a spy you run the risk yes.

But HOW DARE THEY... how dare they come to my country and kill people with nerve toxins. They - whoever "they" may be do not have the right to come here killing whomsoever they please and involving the innocent whose only job is to help those in need.

How dare they put people at risk - too damn right we need strong statements from our government and well done our allies for backing us up on that too.

(god... here I am - a little old lady who works in a shop - and sound like a warmonger - is this how it all starts!)

It is very obvious that the Russians are responsible for this even knowing what has been made public. For those who keep saying that there is "not enough evidence" does it not occur to you that even if there is, it may not be made public? They wouldn't want the perpetrators to know how to better avoid detection next time... It's interesting that France originally seemed to think that the British were premature in accusing Russia and said that more evidence was required. They changed their minds about there not being enough evidence following a phone call from Theresa May...

Fed up of hearing about it now.

And I'm fed up of sloth minded numpties bleating 'I'm bored^' about important ongoing news stories.

Stick to the soaps, OP. They come in handy 30 min segments. Sounds more your level.

There's something very wrong IMO about betraying your own country.

Really? You think all countries deserve the loyalty of their citizens?

All countries?
