Either way, I don't see the benefit of escalating the issue. Should be dealt with behind closed doors.

I don't buy the Porton Down conspiracy, they've much worse there (well documented, not local rumour) and could have provided something with less collateral damage, going unnoticed.
Inclined to agree about the ‘behind closed doors’ bit, Adi. Sadly that’s rarely going to happen nowadays so when May makes her pronouncements she’s simultaneously courting popularity amongst the electorate, but I do wish the usual newspaper stirrers (Mail, Express and Sun) would stfu before any more damage is done.
Suppose it’s all taking attention away from the announcements today about the fire doors at Grenfell being unfit for purpose...frankly that should matter more than a rather clumsy attempt at taking out a double agent imo.
