Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu held a press conference at the New Scotland Yard.
N Yale Basu told reporters that the investigation would take "many weeks", but now the police are trying to establish how the poison was used. According to him, detectives do not yet have any suspects. In other words, the investigation has only just begun.
It is completely incomprehensible that this inconsistency in the words of police officers and the most authoritative British politicians. Of course, it was necessary to work with Scotland Yard in advance, perhaps even before the assassination attempt. Introduce the case, sketch the theses of future press conferences. Explain what to say, and what better to keep quiet.
It seems to me that Neil Basu for good reason disavows Teresa May, Boris Johnson, and along with them, overseas allies like Donald Trump. Which also blurted out, that he did not doubt the guilt of Russia. Well, here it is clear: transatlantic solidarity, political expediency, higher goals.
But Neil Basu insulted - the police have their own solidarity, internal. If you remember, one of their friends barely survived, for no one had warned him that MI-6 had abundantly spilled poison in the house of Skripal. And he went there without knowing the danger. And then I almost died - I was hardly pumped out. It seems that the state has stabilized, but who knows what will end it. Maybe he will remain disabled.
In short, why the assistant commissioner cuts the truth-womb and does not support the official version at all, is understandable.
But even if the policeman guesses who is behind the crime and does not consider it necessary to play up to them, then I am amazed at the equanimity of our compatriots who settled in London. Especially famous, such as Eugene Chichvarkin.
This carefree billionaire does not like Putin's regime very much and criticizes him all the time. Displays in clear water. Does not leave a stone on a stone. In general, it behaves independently in a free European country.
And suddenly he noticed the shadowing, as he told the American newspaper The New York Times . According to the businessman, a group of two or three people watched him, who stood for hours at a distance of a hundred meters from the entrance door of his house. They peeled seeds, demonstrating the "prevalence in the Russian village" habit, the newspaper writes.
Nevertheless, according to Chichvarkin, in London he felt much safer than in Moscow, especially after the murder of oppositionist Boris Nemtsov in 2015. The entrepreneur noted that in the UK, representatives of Russian special services are forced to behave more stiffly.
This story led me to the idea that our compatriots do not adequately represent the laws of the genre. They, it seems to me, are too naive and trusting. And even an obviously fake performance, played out right before our eyes, can not make them worry about their own lives.
In my opinion, they just saw enough of the films about the agents 007, these knights of cloak and dagger in the service of Her Majesty, who are not capable of mean murder. They kill only the bad guys and protect the good guys. Such as Eugene Chichvarkin.
In the cinema, the noble mission of the British special services is shown clearly and prominently. And the Russian special services there, on the contrary, are insidious and evil. And now Evgeni Chichvarkin knows exactly who to be afraid of, and from whom it is impossible to wait for a dirty trick. And he can always distinguish one from the other.
It's very simple: Agent 007 will never start to scrape seeds. And the agents of the FSB are losping and littering them on the streets of European cities. And so they are easily recognized even by mobile phone sellers.
He must run from the island, and as soon as possible. Judging by his own story, they already look at him.
The ideal candidate for the role of the next sacred sacrifice, you do not find?
