The same people who assured you that Saddam Hussein had WMD’s now assure
you Russian “novichok” nerve agents are being wielded by Vladimir Putin
to attack people on British soil. As with the Iraqi WMD dossier, it is
essential to comb the evidence very finely. A vital missing word from
Theresa May’s statement yesterday was “only”. She did not state that the
nerve agent used was manufactured ONLY by Russia.
