As everyone will have heard today, the head of Porton Down was interviewed by Sky TV yesterday and stated for the record that PD identified the nerve agent as a military grade Novichok but cannot establish that it was made by Russia.
Quite apart from numerous other inconsistencies with the UK governments claims that Russia was responsible for this attack, this announcement alone completely destroys Theresa May's and Boris Johnson's allegations in Parliament that the nerve agent was "of a type developed by Russia", a vile formulation of words designed to blame Russia for the atrocity without actually stating it as fact.
As one might expect British newspapers are spinning this damning story as best they can. They're an utter waste of space and time.
There's only one reliable British source for accurate reporting on this affair and that is Craig Murray. I'm waiting for his today's blog and will post here in due course. His view yesterday, when he learned of the forthcoming interview by Sky News of Porton Down's Chief Scientist, he concluded that the government wouldn't be "putting him up" (allowing the interview) if there was any doubt he would not finger Russia. In the event he didn't and has shocked everyone in the process (see HERE). Murray has very good sources and I'm sure he is now currently manning the phones to get the background about this.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
