British Police Identify Killer in Radiation Case

reporter writes "According to a front-page story by The Guardian, British authorities have identified Andrei Lugovoi to be the murderer who used radioactive pollonium-210 to kill Andrei Litvinenko. The British government will ask Moscow to extradite Lugovoi. The Guardian states: 'Associates of the dead man have repeatedly accused President Vladimir Putin's government of being behind his murder, a claim the Kremlin rejects. While it is known that detectives believe they have uncovered evidence pointing to Mr Lugovoi's involvement, it is not clear whether they have established a motive for the murder'"

    What the hey does this have to do with Your Rights Online?
    Online is a code word for electricity, and electricity is produced by nuclear power plants, and where there's nuclear power plants, there's plutonium, and plutonium was used to poison the Russian guy, and killing Russians is not allowed in Britain, and things that aren't allowed are written down in the Law, and the Law sets out your Rights, for values of your which are compatible with whichever Law applies, so that's why Your is capitalized.

    But Britain is an industrialized society, so I don't think it's got anything to do with hay or hey as it's sometimes written.
