#SKRIPAL

Salisbury poisoning victim Yulia Skripal has broken her silence on the attack which left her and her father, former spy Sergei, in intensive care. She released a statement via the Met Police. @Rachael_swindon queried: “I’m really pleased Yulia Skripal is doing well, and her dad is improving. You know what’s coming... If this was a state assassination, using the deadliest military grade nerve agent known to mankind, how come they’re both alive? Can anyone from the government explain this?” @Whitegl remarked: ‘“I am sure you appreciate that the entire episode is somewhat disorientating” – looks like Yulia Skripal has been getting her shots of British Understatement serum.” @Minhosa57 claimed: “If you are buying what the Russian ambassador is peddling at that press conference or the alleged Yulia Skripal phone conversation you must be mad...or a Russian Bot.”
