Mayhems whodunnit

So if your the head of a country and things arnt going too well its known that the best thing to do is get involved in a war.

Remember Thatcher was heading for an election defeat in 1982. The decision to go to war indisputably saved her. Ive had people argue that, but there is no question without winning the Falklands war Thatcher would have lost the next election. I cover my reasoning on that in two other blogs .

Back to the present there arn't too many countries that the UK can kick off against and Korea, having mustered the protection it needed, is now off the radar and everyone is going to talk .... for the present.

Is it just me or did Trump go very quiet once it was obvious the man had working nukes and the bully boy tactics wouldn't work any longer?


Brexit is just not going to well for Mayhem and the Tories, prices are rising and in turn inflation. The pound is still low and companies are now starting to get itchy feet. To top all that the problem of the Irish border still remains a so far insurmountable problem and time to be honest is running out.

So I shall play devils advocate .........

• May is in the shit.
• She needs to deflect attention away from her and the Tory failings.
• Cant start a war with anyone.
• But can start a war of words with Russia.
• How do we provoke that?
• I know lets poison an ex MI6 spy with something that can only really be traced back to the Russians.
• Brilliant that will do it, the argument could go on for months, years even.

Lets remember that they have so far not said that the nerve agent definitely came from Russia.

"The PM said it was "highly likely" Russia was responsible for the Salisbury attack".

So okay why do i think that its a possibility there is some smoke and mirrors going on here, its obviously the Russians Right?

Mrs May said: "Either this was a direct action by the Russian state against our country, or the Russian government lost control of its potentially catastrophically damaging nerve agent and allowed it to get into the hands of others."

Well it certainly looks like it, but then I think well isn't it a bit obvious?

I mean if the Russians were going to attempt to kill someone, why use something that is so obviously traced back to them. There are plenty of ways of killing people and a lot more effective than what was used.

Why are they still alive .... was an antidote readily available?

This guy was out in the open, he didn't have a protection team. There would have been so many opportunities to take him out. Without going to the effort of smuggling in a nerve agent. He was also apparently in regular contact with the Russian embassy.

Now Russians might be a lot of things but im going to gamble that they are not that stupid. So either they attempted to kill with a nerve gas that would lead right back to their door because they wanted everyone to know they did it.

Or they didn't do it.

Oh has anyone noticed a distinct lack of noise from Trump.  No twitter comments.... Nothing as far as I can see.

Strange that isn't it?

I mean hes always been very quick to comment on our NHS and retweet Britain's First posts without checking them.

But apparently an ex MI6 spy being poisoned with nerve gas in the middle of the UK wasn't worthy of a mention.

Strange that isn't it?

As I said at the start just me playing Devils Advocate. The British government doesn't get involved in assassinations.  I know that because a tory MP said so on the radio today :-)
