Traces of the lethal radioactive poison which killed Russian dissident Alexander Litvinenko have been found at four previously undisclosed sites - including a Mayfair lap dancing bar. The revelations come nine months after the former spy's murder and shed new light on the scale of the investigation into his death. The polonium-210 poison was found at the Hey Jo nightclub on Jermyn Street, on a shisha pipe in the West End restaurant Dar Marakesh, in a taxi and in Mr Litvinenko's Mercedes.

Westminster council has disclosed that a total of 47 venues were checked, among them five buses, eight aircraft, eight hotels and seven restaurants. The operation cost the council £250,000, the Metropolitan Police £1million and the Health Protection Agency £2million.
Alexander Litvinenko died of polonium-210 poisoning
John Barradell, the deputy chief executive of Westminster, said the council had been forced to take the lead in clearing the poison from the sites. He said: "The number of sites came in thick and fast from the police. On one night we had to send staff to investigate 10 premises. "We had to prepare a protocol for each venue as the information came in from the Met. "This was an incredibly complex investigation, which involved teamwork by multiple agencies and in which the council played a lead role.
"But this experience has come at a significant cost to the council. Given Westminster's crucial role in emergency planning in the heart of the capital, it is an additional financial burden that can only strengthen our case for further funding from central government to ensure that we are fully prepared and equipped to deal with any crisis."
Yeah, if that’s the best they can do for lap dancers....

Self-inflicted. The MSM has spun 3600 degrees on this verminous scumbag.
