“OF COURSE the UK has the formula for, and samples of, the Novichok nerve agent, and the ability to synthesise it... If anyone has any lingering doubts about this, watch this revealing BBC documentary about Porton Down, the MOD's chemical & biological weapons laboratory 10 miles from Salisbury, before this link gets taken down...

Quite extraordinary footage, and that's only what they were allowed to capture on film, so prepare to be amazed.
