Well, the people driving the narrative must've seived through the suggestions of those who find the story
ridiculous and after a vote, they've decided on the what the container of the Novichok actually is.
The rest of it is a rehash of the account above and a conversation with the shopkeeper.
But there's a question and answer piece listed on the Mail website that makes me falter.
In Wallfire's Craig Murray link, I read the comments that are listed at the bottom of each page.
Some would fixate on a part of the account and ask curious questions about and maybe it might seem odd.
But the real odd part is some of those tiny queries are answered in the ITV questioniare that have no real
relevance in the overall incident. I'll list them in my next post (they're on the linked page)... but it's something
I find strange.

Quote:'The perfume bottle of Novichok was SEALED… 15 minutes after opening it, Dawn was lying unconsciousMailOnline:
in the bath': Nerve agent survivor Charlie Rowley reveals the moment he and his partner fell ill in shocking
first interview.
*Charlie Rowley has broken his silence over being poisoned in Salisbury on July 8
*In a candid interview victim discussed the death of his partner Dawn Sturgess
*He says he unknowingly gave Ms Sturgess the Novichok that killed her in a perfume
bottle and blames himself for her death.
'Novichok victim Charlie Rowley tonight revealed how he blames himself over girlfriend Dawn Sturgess' death
-after giving her the Novichok nerve agent that killed her as a gift.
In his first interview since he left hospital, the 45-year-old told how he gave Ms Sturgess what he believed to be
a bottle of perfume but then watched in horror as she was taken ill just 15 minutes after spraying it on her wrists.
Mr Rowley told ITV News when he came round in hospital after being exposed to the deadly Russian nerve agent,
he was so ill he didn't know who Ms Sturgess was. He revealed how he found the 'perfume', which was in a sealed
bottle, and gave it to Ms Sturgess on the morning that she collapsed.
He said: 'I had showed Dawn what I'd found. It might've been hanging around the flat for a couple of days.
'I find things and it looked expensive. It looked expensive. Unfortunately it turned out to be… to be a bad find.
'Within 15 minutes Dawn said she had a headache. She asked me if I had any headache tablets. I had a look
around the flat. In that time she said she felt peculiar and needed to lie down in the bath.
'At the time I thought it seemed a bit strange and I went into the bathroom and found her in the bath, fully clothed
in a very ill state.'
In the interview he tells for the first time:
*He was so ill when informed of Dawn's death that he didn't know who she was
*Fifteen minutes after spraying on the Novichok disguised as perfume, Dawn fell violently ill
*He got some on his hands, but washed it off immediately, which is why he believes he survived
*He still collapsed foaming at the mouth within hours of being exposed
*He blames himself for his partner's death
*He can't go back home due to too many bad memories
In the candid interview he described Ms Sturgess spaying the contaminated liquid on her wrists and rubbing them
together. 'That's how she applied it and became ill. I guess how I got in contact with it is when I put the spray part
to the bottle and I ended tipping some on my hands, but I washed it off under the tap.
'It had an oily substance and it smelled it and it didn't smell of perfume. It felt oily. I washed it off and I didn't think
anything of it. It all happened so quick.' He added he found the perfume bottle in 'Salisbury or Amesbury' and his
memory surrounding the event was vague.
Speaking for the first time since the loss of his girlfriend, he says he survived because he washed his hands after
coming into contact with the nerve agent. 'The time I touched the bottle was the same time Dawn had touched
the bottle. I had it on my hands and was fortunate enough to wash my hands.
'Unfortunately Dawn didn't. I spilled it. My hands were covered in the stuff. It was an oily substance with very little
odour. It made me think…I didn't think at the time. I just washed it off very quickly. I didn't put two and two together
at all'.
After Ms Sturgess fell ill, he dialled 999 in 'complete shock'.
'I didn't know what to do. My first reaction was maybe she's just overreacting or something. But I could tell it was
more than that. Within a minute I could tell she wasn't faking anything. She was having a proper attack of some sort.
'I was talking to her the whole time. I couldn't get any response. She was fading so quickly.
'It seemed like forever I was waiting for the ambulance to turn up. I felt helpless. I don't have great medical knowledge.
I was talking to the person on the phone trying to do the best I could. It was all I could do.'
The shocking interview comes after MailOnline revealed the first images of Mr Rowley since the attack.
Grinning and looking healthy despite a slight limp he was captured on CCTV at a shop in central Salisbury
buying lager yesterday afternoon.
Mr Rowley, 45 and his partner Dawn Sturgess collapsed within hours of each other last month after being exposed
to the same Novichok which left former spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia fighting for life back in March.
They had picked up a perfume bottle containing the deadly substance that had been discarded in Salisbury.
Dawn died after rubbing the perfume on both her wrists and Charlie was in a coma but managed to pull through
and is now in sheltered accommodation. The shopkeeper, who served him, who asked not to be named, said:
'I was surprised to see him come in but physically he looked as well as can be expected.
'I asked him how he was and he said 'bad' and the said 'I just wished Dawn hadn't picked up that bottle.' ...'
The rest of it is a rehash of the account above and a conversation with the shopkeeper.
