Wednesday, 12 days after the Amesbury incident.
Since the last posting of Mr. Charlie Rowley being conscious, the UK media hardly mentioned the couple
-who had been struck down with an unknown substance, on any of the early morning television news outlets
and it's only as we ease towards noon, that something appears.
Although, for the first time, I heard an 'influencer' from the UK think-tank Demos -during a perusal of the
morning papers for Sky, say that Novichok can now have a life-span of fifty years.
That's the first time I've heard anyone say that and I hadn't read it anywhere.
If the reader wishes to see more of the article from the BBC, it's linked below. But the main swell of the
piece seems to be making sure the nerve agent 'Novichok' was the cause by naming it at every turn.
The rest of the report goes into the blaming, the advice of not picking anything up that's found and then as
the story progresses, comments that Novichok can last up to fifity years (again?!)
Hot on the heels of this is the admittance that a link between the Skripal poisoning and this latest incident
hasn't been found.
One must assume that now the recovering registered heroin-addict has spoken to the Police, the alleged container
that held the Russian poison will be quickly found. But don't hold your breath.

Quote:Novichok victim Charlie Rowley speaks to police officers.BBC:
'A man who was poisoned by Novichok has spoken "briefly" to officers trying to find the source of the nerve agent,
Scotland Yard has said.
Charlie Rowley has been in hospital since falling ill in Amesbury on 30 June and is in a critical but stable condition.
It comes a day after Salisbury District Hospital confirmed the 45-year-old had regained consciousness.
Dawn Sturgess, 44, who was also exposed to Novichok, died on Sunday...'

that held the Russian poison will be quickly found. But don't hold your breath.
