UK government deletes tweet about Russian spy’s poisoning

CNN has the article UK government deletes tweet about Russian spy’s poisoning.

Britain’s claim that Moscow was behind the poisoning of a former Russian spy faced fresh scrutiny Wednesday when it emerged the UK government had deleted a tweet blaming Russia for producing the nerve agent used in the attack.

This English bicycle is being back pedaled so fast, that the feet on the pedals are a blur.

On the other hand, never let it be said that the English bulldog will change its mind despite the evidence or lack thereof.

The Foreign Office spokesperson said the decision to delete the tweets did not change the UK government’s assessment that Russia was responsible for the “brazen and reckless act” of poisoning the Skripals.

This last quote shows that the British government has no sense of shame at all. Laughing is now permitted.

The British delegation to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) slammed a Russian proposal for a joint investigation into the incident as “perverse,” describing it as a “diversionary tactic” aimed at evading questions over Moscow’s alleged role in the attack.

This should be simple enough for everyone to understand. Maybe even a politician could understand this.
