Russia report released today.

[Vinty]

No evidence of Russian state interference in UK referendum produced.
Although they said the Russians promote disinformation.
Then again are there any vested interests which don't promote disinformation.

 

[Notch7]

"Committee members said they could not definitively conclude whether the Kremlin had or had not successfully interfered in the Brexit vote because no effort had been made to find out"

I'm sure this has nothing to do with it:
"The Tory party has received a huge surge in cash from Russian donors since Boris Johnson was elected leader.
The party received at least £498,850 from business people and their associates between November 2018 and October 2019."

As usual follow the money, there be the truth.

 

[Notch7]

The report says that neither Boris Johnson nor Theresa May looked for evidence of Russian inference in the 2016 EU referendum

why would you look for evidence of interference from those helping to fund you....you wouldnt.

Russia didn't need to interfere. Corbyn made the Labour party unelectable. None of the other parties were worth a vote so that meant that BoJo was the only contender and he was the Brexit leader. If you don't like that off you pop. I and a majority of others want Brexit doing and doing quick. It is hanging on again and I will still be surprised if it actually happens. Hopefully it will happen and soon. I also don't like the fact that this country has been split into four factions. The ruskies probably had a hand in that somewhere along the line but that isn't going to change in the near future although one can live in hope.

What does Brexit doing actually mean?

It means opening the NHS up to US for profit health providers. Watch costs rise and services cut - who benefits?

The £350m we were promised to the NHS - well thats gone on the new customs control and 50k pen pushers.

Food standard? They will be watered down as well.

Employees rights will be weakened as well.

I still cannot see a resounding benefit.

The UK government "actively avoided" looking for Russian interference during the EU referendum, says a group of MPs.

Brexit is the sacred cow.

 

[SirGalahad]

The EU interefering in the Uk - we can't have that.

Russia interfering in the UK - well lets turn a blind eye.

All that Russian money flowing into the Tory party..

 

[Vinty]

The whole report turned out to be a bit of a damp squib.
Its turns out that millions voted for Brexit for reasons other than Russian interference in the referendum.
Did it really require an expensive inquiry to tell us what we already knew.

Nothing makes sense to brexiteers who were so happy to leave the EU that they fail to understand that the UK hasn't 'taken back control'...

In fact it's the total opposite!

Russia does not want to see a strong and united Europe.

Brexit is a great victory for Putin.

Getting Buffoon in post is terrific for him.

 

[SirGalahad]

Brexiteers were Putins useful idiots.

Divide and conquer.

Cant really blame Putin.

A strong united Europe run by Germans.

Anything run by Germans must give the Russian people nightmares.
