EDITOR’S NOTE Seems to me that this report by Tass confirms what many thinking people everywhere are seeing: the case of the two Russians and their Novichok-tainted violins is another cynical fabrication by Theresa May’s administration to blacken the reputation of Russia, perhaps, as stated yesterday, in preparation for some foul deed in Syria or elsewhere. Unfortunately for the imperial disinformers, the feline is out of the bag. Many people are now seeing through their vile and clumsy stratagems—not only in the UK but around the world. How much longer can they hurl accusations while stonewalling any evidence and good will collaboration to establish the truth?
