What a joke this news story is, buried beneath the radar of a Tory reshuffle.
“The UK has taken delivery of more than 200 tonnes of toxic chemicals from Syria….. It comprised “precursor chemicals” that “are handled and destroyed by industry on a routine basis”, a spokesman said.”
You have to wonder whether the Western chemical industry sold them this crap in the first place (the precursors) and this is just a return to sender job. A French company in the UK handling toxic waste linked to military conflicts of the past…… now where have I heard that one before?
