This will do doubt be entirely coincidental, but when I saw mention of Porton Down, I immediately remembered that incident involving the former Russian military officer and double agent for the British intelligence agencies Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia who were "poisoned" in Salisbury, Wiltshire, with the fast-acting, lethally deadly A234, a military-grade "Novichok" nerve agent first created by the Soviet Union during the Cold War and which the UK authorities believe was sprayed by two suspects of Russian nationality, Ruslan Boshirov and Alexander Petrov, who were Russian intelligence officers, allegedly, on the Skripals' front door knob at around noon on 4th March, 2018, over a six and half hours prior. Or was it at the pub? Or was it while the Skirpals were at the restaurant, or on the park bench, where the Skripals were found and which eyewitness Freya Church said: 'They looked like they had been taking something quite strong'? Later, but for the excellence/quickness of the emergency services and Salisbury hospital, Sergei and Yulia were not utterly killed, full-stop, and got better. Remember, fentanyl poisoning is what the hospital originally treated them for, before the government's own laboratory at nearby Porton Down said it was Novichok on 7th March? Yeah, well that laboratory at nearby Porton Down.

Those were precisely my thoughts.
