Labour’s Early Day Motion Supporting Theresa May Over Skripal

True, it’s some on the Labour backbenches supporting and signing up to an EDM in support of Theresa May. But then they’re doing so because they really don’t support Corbyn and what he’s saying about all this.

There’s even talk that some shadow frontbench spokespeople will go over this. For it is generally true that Corbyn – and even more Seumas Milne – aren’t going to criticise Russia for very much. They not having quite got it that Uncle Joe and communism are both dead.

A copy of that EDM.

Skripal EDM

This EDM has just been submitted by John Woodcock. It’s unconfirmed that Harriet Harman is supporting it.

  • Hmm. seems reasonable enough don't know why Jeremy wouldn't support it. He supported Theresa when she made the statement in the house. Yes there's some out of favour peeps with the leader there on the list, who used to run ministries and backed the wrong horse (including themselves, stella, chukka) for the leadership so no love lost. To be expected though. Without shadow responsibilities foreign affairs is the well worn path to keep up the statesman persona.

  • Gay and fake.

    First off, the phony bravery of these clowns in "standing up" (i.e. bleating impotently and making pathetic threats) to Putin is sickening. British people are being raped and murdered by hostile foreigners every day, but our kakistocracy hopes we'll forget about Telford and focus on the scary Russian menace.

    Second, if HM Government and its professional liars in the spooky services told me it was raining, I'd bloody well pack sunscreen. We have no reason to accept Theresa May's word on this over that of Vladimir Putin.

    Sergei Skripal is a bad man who made hundreds - probably thousands - of enemies among other bad men during his sordid career. It's quite possible Putin ordered a hit on him. It's equally possible some FSB or mafia guys (assuming there's a difference) decided to settle old scores. And it's not unreasonable to ask if this is another Dr. David Kelly style operation by the British government itself.

    Funny how he got poisoned just five minutes away from Porton Down, innit?

  • To be honest there's a lot of things I am more concerned about than Russian gangsters bumping each other off here. On that subject, I'd like them all (all those rich Russians who prefer to live here) chucked out. They bring no advantage to the UK. Money? So what? I'd like to know why the invasion by another group of foreigners does not excite the political class so much.

  • This is copied and slightly amended from Tim Newman's site. Saves writing it all again.

    "It is a tangled mess. But Steve is largely correct. It is far too early to be shovelling this much anti-Russia shit.

    Sherlock Holmes & Poirot talk to those involved, they gather evidence, deliberate and THEN point the finger. If you are a fuckwit who reverses that order then you name is likely Clouseau.Or Thrasher May.

    I’m glad to see Corbin getting it in the neck for any reason. If there was film of Putin stabbing the victims himself and smirking at the camera Agent COB would deny his guilt. Because anything that hurts the UK is what Corbog is all about.

    That said I would like the indignation against the Absolute Turd to be on a solid footing. Not bullshit from the Fish Faced Cow that turns out to be bollocks and leaves Grandpa Death able to claim that he was the only one not having hysterics. I have said many times that the FFC is Agent COB’s greatest asset and the silly bitch is just that.

    It seems clear that the likely nerve agent was stored at a now defunct soviet base in Uzbeckistan. And that in 92/3 the Yanks were asked by the Uzbeks to look after that site to stop dangerous gear falling into rogue hands. Jeez –how funny is that?. So it is highly likely that the Yanks know how to make the nerve agent and/or took some of it during their time in charge of the base.

    Neo-cons would benefit from boosting the “Russia, Russia” anti-Trump hysteria. And would not care about collateral damage so long as nothing came out that fingered them directly.

    Putin down on the EU? It would seem an obscure method of getting back at them and hardly needed when the bastards are doing a lovely job of fucking themselves up.

    As for the hysterical posturing of the FFC I can only see that it is some bungled attempt at doing the Poundstore Iron Lady routine. If it backfires with Putes laughing in her ugly, bovine bad-breathed mug it will only undermine the anti-COB forces even more. She is a stupid bitch trying to punch so far above her arrogant, nannying, authoritarian-if-she-thinks-you-can’t-hit-back weight it would be hilarious if it wasn’t dangerous and tragic. Letting COB in being the source of danger and the potential for absolute tragedy for us all.

    Phrase:Richard Murphy is a turd."

    Murphy is still a turd and Putin's fat girlfriend to boot.

  • @Mr Ecks,

    ...It seems clear that the likely nerve agent was stored at a now defunct soviet base in Uzbeckistan. And that in 92/3 the Yanks were asked by the Uzbeks to look after that site to stop dangerous gear falling into rogue hands. Jeez –how funny is that?. So it is highly likely that the Yanks know how to make the nerve agent and/or took some of it during their time in charge of the base...

    On Tim N's post I commented:

    Correct. DM had an article on the Skirpal-Steele links and possibility Skirpal was involved in writing the dossier.

    State actor assassination - another one for the Clinton body count list?

    Your Uzbeckistan info adds weight to my thought about Clintons.

  • Ecks - interesting thing about May's high-handed approach to Russia, giving them insulting ultimatums (as if we were dealing with some errant colony circa 1912) and refusing to present the evidence they asked for: if you were deliberately trying to pick a fight with another country, deliberately trying to ensure the incident you're ostensibly upset by *can't* be carefully investigated and resolved peacefully, this is how you'd behave.

    May isn't very bright, but I don't think the entire senior leadership of the British government is stupid, so the logical conclusion is they have no interest in finding out who poisoned Skripal, and want to pick a fight with Russia.

    Which isn't the same thing as saying Putin is innocent of this, but does mean HMG and denizens of the slime green benches are very transparently acting in bad faith.

    • Steve--It is all very handy to try and take the heat off over Telford and the "UK as a RoP-sucking police state" truths now being revealed to a least a portion of the public.

      Also what are the twats on all sides of the pond trying to provoke Russia for? Is this the Agenda 21 run up. 6-7 billion nuked out and the Polly Toynbees emerge from the bunker to become the Eternal Elite? As plans go that has to be a candidate for all-time worst. So, if not that what exactly?

  • Ye Gads, that's an unreadable in your face SHOUT post - sorry.

    Warning: Don't use blockquote until Tim Worstall pulls his finger out and fixes his mutant creation.

    In more readable form:

    @Mr Ecks,
    "...It seems clear that the likely nerve agent was stored at a now defunct soviet base in Uzbeckistan.

  • If this Skirp bloke WAS involved in the dodgy dossier then it could open the door to the Clinton kill zone. Making the bloke possibly the --oh--123rd is it now--mysterious death surrounding the Toxic Twosomes career.

    Usually they don't employ "Spray n' Prey (sic) " type tactics tho' . They will kill anyone who they want to kill and/or who knows too much but they don't usually try to take half the street with them. That might be accounted for by the desire to kill two birds etc. Not just get rid of a potential dark open mouth on the Dodgy Dossier/Pissy Prossies Affair but also to ramp up the Anti-Russia hype on both sides of the pond.

    It sounds more plausible to me than a Putin hit on someone he could have killed much more quietly any time in the last 12 years--4 of those in a Russian jail.

  • Wait a minute tho'--the bloke isn't dead is he? Too late in a long day.

    Now that is NOT like the Clintons. Whatever else you can accuse them of, like the Mounties they always get their man or woman.

    So the botchery weighs against the Toxics being involved. Altho' she is having trouble going down stairs at present so perhaps their hit-squad are pensioners as well by now. But it seems less likely. Mistakes are something professional killers really can't afford.
