Sergei and Yulia Skripal were poisoned by the Novichok nerve agent in Salisbury, England, leading to a major diplomatic rift between the UK and Russia. While the UK identifies Russia as the source, Russian officials like Sergei Lavrov claim the incident is a pretext for diplomat expulsions. Skepticism remains regarding the recovery of the victims and the official narrative provided by British intelligence.
Experts at Porton Down were unable to identify the specific source of the Novichok nerve agent used in the Salisbury poisoning. Russian sources have floated a theory that the victims may have been poisoned by improperly prepared Fugu (blowfish) at a local restaurant. The hosts mock the absurdity of the "blowjob" headlines that would result if the theory were true.
The UK government identified the substance used in the Salisbury poisoning as "Novichok," a class of military-grade nerve agents developed by the Soviet Union. The hosts express skepticism regarding the speed of the identification by the Porton Down laboratory. They cite reports from the OPCW suggesting that independent confirmation of Novichok's properties has historically been sparse.
