For what it's worth, Trump just told a reporter that he thinks it was probably Russia who poisoned the spy and his daughter.
Of course, we're not going to do anything about it either, altho the usual gang of noisy retards on Capitol Hill will scream for retaliation. Considering how many people the US has assassinated by drone strike over the last decade or so, we are absolutely the last nation on Earth who has any right to complain about cloak-and-dagger stuff.

The reason I am asking is because its creates a presadent for such things.
You are refusing to answer the question, thats fine although it does kind of undermine you argument somewhat.
Speaking of which I am rather confused as to why you don't think that Russia shouldn't be the number one suspect in all of this, so far I have not seen any argument that would back up this belief.

Why would Russia do this?
The guy spent X- amount of years i a russian prison. ANd was delivered to the UK in Exchange for other prisinors.
Why would russia kill him now..... Why didnt they just kill him when they had him in their own prison?

You need evidence and facts to support Your presadent.....would you not?
Agreed.
Now care to tell us why you believe that the Russians were not behind this and what evidence you have to support this claim.

I admit, that is a good point. It's hard to see why Russia would still care about this guy.
It's being widely rumored that this guy was working with Christopher Steele. If this is the case, that actually points the finger back at MI6 and/or US intelligence (tying up loose ends). They would naturally want to implicate someone other than themselves.
Basically, I'm not going to invest myself too heavily in any claims about who was responsible.

I have no evidence, but i would like to see if the British government fallows up on Russias request to have their nerve agent evidence released.
If the British government can provide Russia With evidence i will rest my case.

What sort of evidence would suffice? Russian trolls have already suggested that the toxin was stolen by SAS in Syria.

But so far Russia have not said anything about the SAS stealing their nerve agent. Not related to this case anyway....

Here's how Russian propaganda works: a blogger posts a claim that incriminates a Russian enemy. Russian media repeat this, attributing it to "the internet." Russian proxies like globalresearch and beforeitsnews pick up the story, giving it appropriate spin for their target market, where it is read and disseminated by conspiracy theorists and professional trolls. Contradictory stories are also released in the same fashion to further confuse things. The message then becomes "we may never know the truth." The MH-17 affair was a textbook case.
Well lets see if the British government does this fair, and give Russia the evidence that forces them to explain them selves.
If the Russians are prepared to go so far to win a few gold medals what makes you think they can be trusted to tell the Truth about this.

The Russians would deny it was theirs, they would make up some excuse.
Just read about the deceives who went to Russia after the Litvinenko killing, the games Russian officials played with them or just look at the lengths the Russian government went to to hide drugs above by their athletes.

I have no idea if this is connected or not, but I have just come off a radio show I am on once a month. A fellow Brit who co-hosts the show is based in London.
He couldn't make the first half hour of the show as the BT Internet network for the whole of London, Swindon (very near to Salisbury) and a few other odd locations all went down for 45 minutes tonight. That would have been between 6.30 and 7.30.
