What did the UK government do that was along the same lines?

The Turks are using these events to their own advantage as did we with the Salisbury poisonings. Not in the same way but both govts exploited the situation as it suits them.

I got that part, how did the government exploit it?
As you know, I’m no fan of the Tories but I can’t see them doing anything wrong.
It was fucking atrocious what happened, UK citizens poisoned in our own country by another state, using a banned chemical weapon.

I’d stick to that story if I were you, unless you want some rogue agents having a game of “operation” on you.
I have thought of that and am currently laying boobytraps in the garden and surrounding roads. One Allah Ackbar and they’re mince. Plus Imoving to France and changing my name to le pole de magic. Bomb proof.
I think that if criticism against Saudi starts to gain momentum, a critical mass will be reached and then they’re fucked. At the moment, potential critics see it as a pointless exercise because of the business we do with them. We’ve seen what happens when campaigns start to snowball though recently. The slightest bit of news which would have originally been brushed aside will become headline news. Politicians from all countries will be under immense pressure to distance themselves from the pariah.
It’d be nice if they bought the rags before the shit hits the fan though.

Well he was hardly an innocent man was he?
He referred to the king of Saudi as a bad man. If that isn’t asking for a brutal, horrific death then I don’t know what is.
Your user name gives you away, i think you are a one of the 51 brothers and you are trying to influence me, Ok it worked, how many guns do you want to buy, planes did I mention I have some planes ?

I don’t think we’re guilty of anything more than carefully managing the release of information to a timetable that suited us at the time. Much the same as the Turks are doing now. Doesn’t make us or the Turks in any way comparable to the perpetrators of the crimes.I got that part, how did the government exploit it?

No more atrocious with what went on in Turkey.
Turkey could be said to be accused of milking it leaking info to keep it relevant - I suspect had they not done so and just published whet they knew on day one by now Trump would have strong armed as many countries as he could to "over look it".
In terms of the poisoning Mayday immediately went on the offensive against Russia before anything was even proven. As I say it served as a useful Brexit distraction ( she would love one now ) but by doing so before they could publish any proof was the UK govt milking it for their own ends. Porton Down findings, CCTV footage etc etc all followed some time later.

She went on the aggressive because she knew, that they knew, that she knew, that they did it.
It was glaringly obvious to the entire world that many of our allies imposed sanctions as well as us.
They released evidence after they had analysed it fully and so the Russians would struggle to excuse it.
Both us and Turkey have been clever. Nothing more or less.
The whole thing is a distraction anyway, state sponsored murder on another country’s soil, with banned chemical weapons is going to be news for a while regardless.
