.. London has become the city of choice for those who have made vast
fortunes following the fall of the Soviet Union and not all of them have
been squeaky-clean model citizens. Boris Berezovsky, for example, who
employed Litvinenko, had been a prime suspect in organising the murder of
American journalist Paul Klebnikov. Forbes Magazine, Klebnikov's employer,
continues on its website to point the finger in Berezovsky's direction.
A former British diplomat has told me in private that giving Berezovsky
asylum was considered a major mistake in UK diplomatic circles.
The anti-Putin Berezovsky died in mysterious circumstances not long after
he had lost a court case against pro-Putin oligarch Roman Abramovich,
owner of Chelsea FC. British police ruled that his death was suicide but
there are those in Britain who believe, or want to believe, he was murdered.
The oligarchs have been welcomed in London financial circles because of
the amount of their money. They have been welcomed too by May's
Conservative party, which, according to recent reports in the London
Times and Daily Telegraph, has received donations of ?820,000 from Russian
sources. Chancellor Philip Hammond has refused to return the money because
he did not want to tar the oligarchs "with Putin's brush".
Perhaps it is time to realise that if your country becomes a haven for
dodgy people like Berezovsky then dodgy things are likely to happen.

.. But most disturbing about the case are not the false claims Theresa
May makes. She is in deep political trouble over the Brexit negotiations
and other issues and needs any political diversion that she can get.
Blaming Russia for something is en vogue and might help her for a while.
No, the most troubling issue is the behavior of the media who fail to
point out that May's claims are bluster and that there is no evidence at
all that supports her claims. ..
May demanded and got a NATO meeting on the case. But the statement NATO
issued afterwards was extremely weak. It only offered support in
conducting the British investigation and it asked Russia to respond to
the British questions. Neither did it support the claims May made, nor
did it take any measures against Russia. A French spokesperson said "We
don't do fantasy politics" and demanded 'definite conclusions' on the
case before deciding anything. No support was given to May by the Trump
administration.
The story May wants to tell has way too much holes to be sustainable.
The involvement of the British double agent Skripal in the fake Steele
dossier about Trump is likely the real story behind the incident. No
international support is coming for May. The British opposition leader
Corbyn was right today when he demanded that she produces evidence for her
claims. A few more pushes and her house of cards will surely come down.
