It was a bit of a remarkable recovery alright. The head of the OPCW said there had been 150 grams of whatever agent was used. For the sake of providing a picture, a baseball weighs just under 150 grams. I believe the head of the OPCW had to reverse course on his statement, but when he made the statement it was to emphasize that nobody outside of a government would have that amount.

In any case, a pretty piss-poor chemical agent that leaves the targets running around happily after receiving a dose that should have killed the whole neighbourhood.

Meanwhile, Boris Johnson, after his brilliant trip to Washington, is scaling even greater heights. Now he's off to Argentina to lay a wreath for the Falkland War dead.

Nothing quite expresses the pleasure of the PM like the words, "Get off to Argentina, Boris, and apologise for us killing those Argies back in the eighties. No rush to get home. Take some 'me' time. Wha...oh, I think it's somewhere in that other America."

Yes, a very swiss cheesy sort of scenario we've been asked to believe. Perhaps that's why the story has been disappeared from the mainstream media. Russophobia however makes the wildest nonsense tenable as continues to be demonstrated here and elsewhere, including the Canadian H of C where a unanimous vote of condemnation against Russia for this 'serious crime' is instantly forthcoming, as are equally unproven 'chemical weapons' by Syria, but where condemnation of Israel for shooting children is somewhat more difficult to come by. But keep reading The Guardian and New York Times and you'll believe anything.

The Philip Cross Affair - by Craig Murray

https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2018/05/the-philip-cross-affair/

Who's Altering Wikipedia - And Why?

"...Just as revealing are the people who 'Philip Cross' seeks to protect and promote...Labour Friends of Israel's Ruth Smeeth MP has had reference to the WikiLeaks released diplomatic cable that showed she was an informer to the US Embassy on the secrets of the Labour Party deleted by 'Philip Cross.' Right wing columnist Melanie Philips had her embarrassing climate change denial excised by Cross.

'Philip Cross' not only carefully tends and protects the Wikipedia entry of Guardian editor Katherine Viner, who has taken the paper four-square into the neo-con camp, Philip Cross actually wrote the original hagiographic entry. The Guardian's MI6 contact, Luke Harding is particularly looked after by Cross, as are their anti-Corbyn obsessives Nick Cohen and Jonathan Freedland. So are Murdoch hacks David Aaronovitch and Oliver Kamm.

What is particularly interesting is that 'Philip Cross's views happen to be precisely the same political views as those of Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia. Jimmy Wales has actively spoken against Jeremy Corbyn, supports the bombing of Syria, supports Israel, is so much of a Blairite he married Blair's secretary, and sits on the board of Guardian Media Group Ltd alongside Katherine Viner.

My view is that Philip Cross probably is a real person, but that he fronts for a group acting under his name. It is undeniably true, in fact the government has boasted, that both the MOD and GCHQ have 'cyber-war' ops aiming to defend the 'official' narrative against alternative news media, and that is precisely the purpose of the 'Philip Cross' operation on Wikipedia..."

http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2018/06/12/skri-j12.html

"The Guardian's June 4 event, The Skripal Case: A New Cold War? was a blatant attempt to propagandize against Russia in the interests of British imperialism. The newspaper of what passes for the 'liberal left' instead proceeded to solidify its alliance with the most right-wing layers of the US and British political establishment by churning out anti-Russian propaganda of a distinctly McCarthyite character."

"US President Donald Trump arrived in the UK on his official visit to the country and promptly wielded a Brexit dagger, stabbing Theresa May in the back..."

In an explosive interview with Rupert Murdoch's Sun tabloid newspaper, the cash cow of the UK wing of Murdoch's vast media empire, the president accused Theresa May of ignoring his advice on Brexit and claimed that in opting for a 'soft Brexit' and continuing ties to the EU, she had killed any prospect of a bilateral trade deal between Britain and the US.

As the POTUS, Trump has the right to say what the USA's trade policies with the UK will be under various circumstances. Obama did the same thing, albeit somewhat more diplomatically, when he went over there pre-referendum and said that, if Brexit passes, there will be no special trade deals with the US as compensation.

Trump probably shouldn't be attacking May personally in interviews, and leaking details about private conversations they may have had, but I think it's generally understood by now that that's the way they guy is. I doubt he really has the power to make the UK do anything it doesn't want to do in regards to Brexit, or to swing public opinion in that country one way or another.
