Survation were the pollsters who correctly predicted the last General Election result.

I'm actually in the HofC just now where Corbyn has just said government’s response to attack should focus on “reducing tensions” with Russia. Unbelievable.

Agreed Bob we should simply declare war on Russia and get obliterated.

2. AN opinion poll.
There is only one poll that matters.

Having spent today listening to General Philip Breedlove (17th Supreme Allied Commander Europe of NATO Allied Command Operations) and others discussing Russia I can assure you that such a move is not in anyone's game plan. You really don't understand realpolitik do you Howard?

The UK is leaning to much on Russia,we are only are very small +we will need their support when we come out of the EU there is no prove that Russia has done wrong ,the UK would not like it if it was the other way round.Prove it was them then take what action can be done but not before this person was a spy and he knows the risk in being one,we have spy to .The sad part to all this is the public and police officer that got injured .

Russia have or had this nerve gas, the target victims are Russian, Russian agents have previously killed off those they dislike, no other country or group seem to be suspects.
No wonder there is a strong assumption that Russia are responsible. Putin and his supporters thinking he is invincible is far more of a worry to me than anything Corbyn or May might say or do.

As is a lot of the disinformation being spouted on the 'social media'. (see #669) It's what they do.
Look at the shooting down of the MH17. Within two hours there were four separate conspiracy theories being circulated worldwide. The investigation to rebut them took just over two years and even now the alternative narratives are still being circulated by conspiracy theorists.
