Just did a restart, so I may be OK for a while. So anyway, given that she was at school, what would the situation have been at the point where a schoolfriend snapchatted Abigail?! It was initially being reported as a couple having been found unconscious on a bench in Salisbury and that it could be down to fentanyl, but has anyone ever heard of such a massive reaction to a possible fentanyl overdose episode before, and the police declaring a major incident etc. Anyway, so in the Guardian article it says the following:
The 16-year-old thought Sergei Skripal had suffered a heart attack and alerted her mother, Alison, who is an army colonel and chief nursing officer, and they went to administer first aid.
“It was my brother’s birthday and we were out celebrating, and we were coming home and I saw them on the bench,” Abigail, who learned first aid at school, told the Salisbury-based radio station Spire FM.
“At this point people were still walking past and I don’t think anyone had really noticed them. I told my mum because I thought he was having a heart attack. We went over and it developed from there.
And the subheading to the Guardian article was:
A teenage girl was the first person to help the novichok poisoning victims Sergei and Yulia Skripal, it has emerged.
Which of course fits with what she said about how she didn’t think anyone had really noticed them.
But in the following article posted on the 29th of October re Alison McCourt’s statement to the Inquiry headlined ‘Chief army nurse who helped Skripals faced conspiracies’ it says this:
At the Dawn Sturgess Public Inquiry on October 29, two statements by Mrs Alison McCourt were read.
She is of the first people who saw the Skripals seriously unwell on a bench in the Maltings before emergency services arrived.
Mrs McCourt, chief nursing officer at British Army at the time of the incident, did not appear at the Inquiry as she was given permission to give written evidence rather than orally.
The first statement, made just days after the poisoning, described how on March 4, 2018, Mrs McCourt was in Salisbury with her family when they found Sergei and Yulia Skripal displaying concerning symptoms.
In the statement, Mrs McCourt said: “I looked at the bench, I was about 10 metres away at this point.”
There was a couple dealing with the situation but her husband said it was her “duty to help”.
Ah, so her daughter WASN’T the first person to go to the aid of the Skripals, and there was already a couple (of people) dealing with the situation. Yeah, and as if in the real world her husband would have to tell her it’s her duty to go and help. But I guess she/they don’t have to worry about the inconsistencies as they can depend on the MSM to straighten them out, or just blank them. And WHO anyway is paying attention to all the details apart from us conspiracy theory nutjobs!
I don’t suppose I’ll ever be able to determine exactly what time it was when the media first cited Skripal’s name (and his background), but I came across the following earlier:
Major incident in Salisbury: everything we know so far as two people remain in a critical condition
Unconfirmed local reports of possible exposure to fentanyl
By James Somper
15:54, 5 MAR 2018 Updated 08:02, 6 MAR 2018The problem is with updates is that unless you happened to read the article BEFORE it was updated AND remember everything it said, you can’t know what was added to the article in the update, but in this particular instance, I think it was Skripal’s name, and that he was a former spy and a double agent. Thing is that further on in the article (after having mentioned his name etc) it quotes a statement made by Wiltshire Police, which was made on the Monday, and prior to the article being published/posted at 15.54:
Wiltshire Police statement in full
Temporary Assistant Chief Constable, Craig Holden, issued the following statement at a press conference in relation to the major incident declared in Salisbury: “Yesterday afternoon, at approximately 4.15pm, we received a call from a member of the public who was concerned for the welfare of two people.
“The two people – a man aged in his 60s, and a woman aged in her 30s – were found unconscious on a bench in The Maltings in Salisbury.
“Officers, as well as colleagues from the ambulance and fire services attended the scene and cordons were put in place.
“The pair, who we believe are known to each other, did not have any visible injuries and were taken to Salisbury District Hospital. They are currently being treated for suspected exposure to an unknown substance. Both are currently in a critical condition in intensive care.
“Because we are still at the very early stages of the investigation, we are unable to ascertain whether or not a crime has taken place.
“A major incident has been declared today and a multi-agency response has been co-ordinated.
“Alongside our partner agencies, we are conducting some extensive enquiries to determine exactly what led to these two people falling unconscious and clarify whether or not any criminal activity has happened.
“This has not been declared as a counter terrorism (CT) incident and we would urge people not to speculate. However, I must emphasise that we retain an open mind and we will continue to review this position. We have access to a wide range of specialist resources and services that are helping us to understand what we are or aren’t dealing with at this time.”
“The focus at this moment in time is trying to establish what has caused these people to become critically ill, and we are working with partners to prioritise this diagnosis and ensure that they receive the most appropriate and timely treatment.
“We would continue to appeal to any members of the public who may have information in relation to this incident to contact us immediately via 999. We would like to reassure members of the public that incidents of this nature are taken extremely seriously and we currently do not believe there is any risk to the wider public.
“We would like to take this opportunity to thank members of the public who have assisted us so far and respected the cordons which remain in place.

Now I’ve no idea when this statement was made, except that it must have been made at least an hour or two before the SomersetLive article was posted, but, it doesn’t mention or include Skripal’s name etc. As with this BBC News article that I came across from March 5th, which unfortunately doesn’t state the time it was posted:
Two critical after Salisbury substance ‘exposure’
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-wiltshire-43289194
But as I said in a recent post, I know beyond any shadow of a doubt that DS Nick Bailey said at some point (maybe in the interview with the former editor of the Sun, whose name escapes me at the moment) that when he first learnt the name of the guy found unconscious on the bench in the Maltings, a colleague of his thought to do a search on the internet and, in doing so, discovered that he was a former Russian spy and double agent etc, and it was shortly after this that he decided to go to the Maltings, and if I remember correctly, he said that he went there about 5.30pm (by which time the Skripals had been taken to hospital). And if he and his colleague determined that THEN, then surely senior officers would have been notified tout de suite.
Anyway, just to reiterate what I said in an earlier post – ie has anyone ever heard of such a massive reaction and response to what, at the time, was being put down to a possible fentanyl overdose?! Or was that just a ruse to explain away the massive reaction (and the massive reaction so as to get it into the media straight away) for what those in the know knew was shortly going to unfold??!
I just twigged that the Guardian article I referred to in an earlier post got the ruddy date wrong:
Abigail McCourt was with her family when she saw the 66-year-old former KGB spy and his daughter collapsed on a bench at the Maltings shopping centre in Salisbury on the afternoon of 5 March last year.
Astonishing!
