"Their command of Wikipedia was impressive. Salisbury also had a population of 40,302. A figure they had been keen on reducing by two." theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/s…

I'm just saying I wouldn't be un-interested in a feature-length comedy about two cathedral-loving Russian gays whose dream holiday to Salisbury via Bow turns into a nightmare when they're accused of carrying out a deadly nerve attack.

What happens next to Boshirov / Petrov? My guess is A.

Kudos to Simonyan for expertly playing the quiet cop who brings out the guilt with her soft approach.

Saturday - Went to Salisbury to look at famous 132m spire of famous beautiful cathedral
Sunday - Went BACK to Salisbury to look again at wonderful spire
Sunday evening - Immediately left for Moscow
Sounds legit

Ruslan Boshirov and Alexander Petrov, alleged Skripal poisoners, go on Russia Today to deny they had anything to do with it. They were very excited to see Salisbury cathedral.

So I'm visiting my Uncle Boris in Salisbury when by chance I see my old schoolmate Sergei Skripal. He says would you like some of this bottle of perfume that MI6 gave me? I say no thanks, bye Sergei. I fly back to Moscow and next thing I know there's an international scandal. twitter.com/Andrew__Roth/s…

Here's @Andrew__Roth on one of the wilder public pronouncements from a top Russian official I can ever recall. Feels like a brand new level of self-delusion. theguardian.com/world/2018/sep…

Viktor Zolotov, who just released wild video challenging (imprisoned) Navalny to a duel, had a habit of pulling sudden martial arts moves on high-ranking intel officers, if book about Sergei Tretyakov, who defected soon after this incident in a Brighton Beach cafe, is accurate. pic.twitter.com/W8QBil81eI
