The Sturgess-Skripal, Inquest-Inquiry has come to an end. Something happened in Salisbury in 2018. But I don't think we'll ever find out what. And the official narrative doesn't make any more sense now than it did then.

The daughter said I should stop being so angry about everything. It was bad for my state of mind.
Well if you're not angry right now, you're not paying attention. That's what I said to myself back in the 70s at Uni. And it's still true.
