Russia poisoned multiple British nationals with chemical and radioactive weapons on British soil and got away with it scot-free.

There are definitely some holes in the allegations. https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2021/04/pure-ten-poi...


Is there any particular reason this link is actually worth reading? Is 'Crag Murray' a former high-level politician/intelligence officer with useful information? Do they have a track record of finding genuine and severe issues with government narratives?


Craig is a former ambassador to Uzbekistan, who served in the Foreign Office for many years. He's since dedicated a lot of his time to following and reporting on the Assange case in the UK.

He doesn't hide his opinions, some of which are quite strongly worded, but I don't think that makes him less worthwhile as an observer. I'd say he is less of a fact-finder/whistleblower and more of an analyser/commenter.

I personally find his articles insightful and nuanced.


Thanks! I think you should have noted that for people who have no idea who he is (I'm assuming many people outside of the UK).


Yeah, a random blog which references Russian state media. Got it. (y)
