...with an obscure poison on British soil: What more could a news or opinion writer ask for? All eyes are now on the dodgy Kremlin. Beyond a doubt, there are numerous criticisms to be made of Vladimir Putin’s Russia. But, considering this murder’s context, doesn’t it sound like too linear a plot, a too obvious conspiracy theory...
