Here are Tim Norman, Patrick Henningsen and myself discussing the Skripal charade, at the Beautiful Days Festival near Exeter. At the start 90% of the audience said they believed the official narrative. At the end 80% had changed their mind.
I am particularly proud of this because we were comparatively close to Salisbury and it was mostly an apolitical audience of interested locals.
I look like I had been sleeping under a hedge for four days. Well, I more or less had. It was a music festival. In a sense convincing so many people, when I could not have looked less like an authority figure, is still more satisfying.
Tim Norman has a much longer version of his presentation and we shall try to do this together again soon, hopefully actually in Salisbury. Patrick Henningsen is a journalist of great integrity: he has been consistently interested and engaged in this story.
I had plans to make a documentary which were put aside during covid. I might try to run a conditional crowdfunder in a little while, where the money is withheld unless enough is collected to deliver the project.
Attention of course moves on, but the Salisbury lie still features in Starmer’s Russophobic and militaristic rhetoric, and in a sense this story is more important than ever.

Okay, so where are they?
Are they dead?
Safe and sound, living with Sir Keir’s Ukranian rent boys.
I expect so, unless they were prepared to have an identity change and disappear in return for a pension.
“At the start 90% of the audience said they believed the official narrative. At the end 80% had changed their mind.”
No wonder they banged you up.
It would be amazing to do this in Salisbury itself.
The role played by the chief nurse of the British army is a powerful persuader, I think – capable of getting an attention spike from many Official Story Believers. Possibly more so even than Exercise Toxic Dagger.
On a similar vein, I want to remind people how healthy it is to get out to festivals or even the pub and talk to other humans.
I randomly got chatting to 2 students in my local pub visiting from Salisbury, and they shared the general disbelief their community showed at the time to the official government narrative. They also mentioned this incident, about 1 year after the Skripal event, another false flag you could say!
Someone had procured a exceptionally large Russian flag (10m x 7m difficult to source), climbing scaffold in an area where cameras were present, and placed it prominently beside the cathedral. No culprit was ever identified.
Certainly the kind of “joke” that Army insiders would appreciate amongst themselves.
