someone pumping large sums of cash into political groups on one side of the argument.

Like what the Russians do to influence right wing politics in other nations?

 

[JohnD]

but is it ethical that foreigners should be allowed to interfere issues like Brexit.

Should they be allowed to buy influence?

"If Labour had received £820,000 from Russian-linked oligarchs and companies in the past 20 months – and indeed £3m since 2010 – the media outrage would be deafening. But this is the Tory party, so there are no cries of treachery, of being in league with a hostile foreign power, of threatening the nation’s security.

When questioned about the Russian donations to the Tory party, the chancellor, Philip Hammond, pointedly refused to return the money. “There are people in this country who are British citizens, who are of Russian origin,” he protested. “I don’t think we should taint them, or should tar them, with Putin’s brush.” How noble: a Tory challenging the demonisation of migrants."

"MPs to question HMRC on refusal to aid French inquiry into top Tory donor
Tax authority’s decision over mobile firm Lycamobile called ‘completely inappropriate’ "

"The Treasury select committee and the public accounts committee want to explore why tax officials rejected a request from the French authorities to help with an inquiry involving the mobile network operator Lycamobile.

It follows the disclosure on Thursday that the tax authority had sent correspondence to its French counterparts which pointed out that the telecoms company was the “biggest corporate donor to the Conservative party”."

"Lycamobile had donated more than £2.1m to the Conservative party until French police two years ago launched an inquiry into alleged criminal activity by individuals at the company. No legal proceedings have been taken against Lycamobile itself.

In March 2017, French officials asked HMRC to assist with investigations in the UK, but the request was refused."

Arron Banks, Chairman of Leave.EU, said in a lengthy statement: “We have been informed by the Metropolitan Police that they will be taking no action as a result of the investigation referred by the Electoral commission into the Leave.EU campaign and Ms Liz Bilney.

“They have concluded that the Leave.EU campaign did not break the law during the 2016 referendum.

“The disgraceful political collusion between the Electoral Commission & the Damian Collins “remain biased” DCMS committee and a number of leading Remain MPs, demonstrate a serious abuse of public office and we will be demanding a full public inquiry investigation into their actions.
“We will be writing to the Prime Minister today demanding a public enquiry into the actions of the Electoral commission.

“I am today calling for the resignation of Damian Collins and the CEO of Electoral commission as a result of today’s news.

“The Electoral Commission have serious questions to answer about political bias and whether it is fit for purpose as a regulator.

“The management board is overseen by third-rate politicos and people who have shown clear political bias. The Chairman himself described Brexit as a ‘collection of Eurosceptic nonsense’ and one of the EC board called for a second referendum!

They have concluded that the Leave.EU campaign did not break the law during the 2016 referendum

No they havent.

It is clear that whilst some technical breaches of electoral law were committed by Leave.EU in respect of the spending return submitted for their campaign, there is insufficient evidence to justify any further criminal investigation.

“The investigation into the spending returns of Vote Leave and BeLeave remains ongoing.

The disgraceful political collusion between the Electoral Commission & the Damian Collins “remain biased” DCM

Calm down Notch, think about your blood pressure, and besides, nobody likes a bad loser.
He's innocent, suck it up.

 

[Notch7]

As innocent as a new born babe

Nope.

Found to have committed technical breaches.

 

[EFLImpudence]

If Fillyboy (and some others) only believes lies, what on earth can anyone say to get through to him?

 

[fillyboy]

Nope.

Found to have committed technical breaches.

Ah, so they will be charging him with an offence then?

The force said some technical breaches of electoral law were committed by Leave.EU in its spending return for its referendum campaign but there is "insufficient evidence to justify any further criminal investigation"

No, thought not.

You said he was 'innocent as a new born baby'.
Technical breaches and insufficient evidence says otherwise.

So you are wrong.
Stop contradicting yourself, it makes you look silly.

Leave.EU campaign and Arron Banks firm Eldon Insurance fined for illegal marketing
The data law watchdog has issued fines totalling £120,000 to two organisations involved in the Brexit campaign


Aaaon Banks lied to MPs
In June 2018 Mr Banks, a major donor to Leave.EU, told a committee of MPs that nobody worked for both Leave.EU and Eldon Insurance - a statement he later changed to say that staff transferred on short-term contracts.

After investigating the relationship between the two organisations, the ICO found they were closely linked


Aaron banks carried out illegal marketing campaigns
According to the ICO, Eldon Insurance also carried out two illegal direct marketing campaigns.

These campaigns involved the sending of over one million emails to Leave.EU subscribers without sufficient consent, and Leave.EU was fined £45,000 and Eldon £60,000 for this data law breach.

Elizabeth Denham, the information commissioner, said: "It is deeply concerning that sensitive personal data gathered for political purposes was later used for insurance purposes; and vice versa. It should never have happened

A Brexiteer interprets that as 'innocent as a new born baby'

Seems unlikely: a Brexiteers making excuses for somebody lying.

 

[fillyboy]

So what are they charging him with? exactly. Innocent as a new born baby.

 

[JohnD]

Fillyboys baby has lied to a committee of MPs

And has carried out illegal marketing activities

Filly's baby is not innocent at all.

Dumb quitters.

Russian collaborator and chief quitter Aaron Banks who masterminded Russian funding for Brexit, is having cold feet.
I wonder if it is anything to do with the criminal investigation.

Dumb quitters.

Dumb remainers more like, you'd believe anything.
