Sergey Skripal with his daughter Yulia in their favorite Zizzi restaurant in Salisbury It's been two years to the day since disgraced former military intelligence officer Sergei Skripal, and his daughter Yulia, were allegedly found on a park bench in Salisbury, near unconscious and apparently very unwell. A lot has been said about the unanswered questions revolving around the incident. But perhaps the best of way of demonstrating the peculiarity of the alleged situation is to simply relate, in full, the "official version". Here it is: Sergei Skripal, a Russian military intelligence officer, was found guilty of spying for the UK in 2006, and sentenced to 13 years in prison. In 2010 he was released and traded to the United Kingdom as part of a spy swap. Having settled in the UK Sergei lived a quiet and comfortable life of retirement, so far as we know Eight years later, in early 2018, with a Presidential election looming and just weeks before Russia was due to host the FIFA World Cup, Vladimir Putin decided to assassinate him for as yet obscure reasons.
Current and Recent Research Projects The Role of Social Captial in Cross-Border Entrepreneurial Migration An increasing number of countries are trying to attract immigrant entrepreneurs through "start-up visa" programs. Our research aims at generating a better understanding of the role of social capital for entrepreneurs that emigrate in order to launch a venture. Keywords: Transnational Entrepreneurship, Immigrant Entrepreneurship and International Entrepreneurship Researchers involved: Carin Holmquist and Nedim Efendic Entrepreneurship Education Entrepreneurship programs are now a reality at many of the world's universities and institutes of higher learning. In this project we study the long-term effects of this education initiative, especially pertaining to the issues of self-selection, theory vs practice pedagogics and societal benefits.

The GU, Russia's military intelligence unit, dispatched two of their elite officers, who proceeded to fly direct from Moscow under aliases they had allegedly already employed and using Russian passports. These alleged assassins carried with them two perfume bottles full of "Novichok", allegedly one of the deadliest nerve agents ever devised. This would be enough to kill around 800, 000 people. On arriving in the UK these highly-trained covert agents book a hotel with a CCTV camera on the front door, and the next day, March 3, they travel to Salisbury by train, allegedly to recon the area, then return to London. They are apparently observed by CCTV camera's the entire time. The day following, March 4, they again travel to Salisbury, this time the master assassins walk to Skripal's house and somehow "smear" the liquid Novichok on the handle of his front door. No eye-witness, photograph or piece of CCTV footage has ever been made publicly available to show either of these two men anywhere in the area of Sergei Skripal's house.
2mg. Sergei Skripal and Julia both recovered and allegedly chose to live secluded lives. Sergei has not appeared in public at all since allegedly being found on that park bench. Yulia made one brief press statement. Their current whereabouts are totally unknown. Their family in Russia have apparently been denied all access to them. DS Bailey was initially also keen to maintain his privacy but has subsequently given at least one interview some while after the event. This is the UK government's version of what happened. Unvarnished and unsatirised. None of it is disputed, exaggerated or speculative.

Despite the alleged lethality of novichok in even very minute doses, Bailey is fit to return home after 18 days. Porton Down, the British government's chemical weapons research centre, is brought in to help identify what chemical – if any – the Skripals/Bailey were exposed to. Within a month they release a statement claiming the poison was "a novichok like agent", but that they could not pinpoint its origin. How they were able to test for a (at the time) theoretical chemical without having a sample to test against, has never been explained. Porton Down is 8 minutes away from Salisbury by car. Nearly four months later, in late June of 2018, Charlie Rowley finds the unopened perfume bottle a full of novichok (whether he bought it from a charity shop or found it in a bin is unclear, both stories have been reported). Upon using the perfume Rowley's partner, Dawn Sturgess, falls ill. Later that day Rowley also falls ill. Sturgess dies in hospital two weeks later. But Rowley survives. Making him the fourth person in this narrative to survive exposure to an agent lethal in doses as small as 0.
