No 10 sitting on Report concerning Russian Interference

[SirGalahad]

So the Russians are actively meddling in UK elections yet the Government is sitting on the report.

Why are we defending the Russians?

Who benefits from Russian interference ? Comrade Boris after he played tennis with a Russian oligarch?

You told 'em and they still ignored you. Oh well...….

"Parliament and the public ought to have and must have access to this report in the light of the forthcoming election and it's really unacceptable for the prime minister to sit on it", Sir Galahad told the House of Commons. He brushed aside explanations for the delay saying: "It's already been very carefully looked at by the Cabinet Office".

And here we go... from here (GE countdown) onwards the sh1t stirring goes from strength to strength until we have a winner.

Don't get me wrong i really don't relate to any of the front runners, tories included.

I thought the old "reds under the beds" storyline had died out with the fall of the Berlin wall.
With public demand for news 24/7 it must be difficult for the BBC to keep coming up with stories to stop its audience from switching to Sky or some other news outlet.

Two years trying to link Russian money to Aaron Banks and the leave campaign, unsuccessful I believe. bad losers? blame the Russians.

I'm not saying there aren't warehouses full of Russians drip feeding comments onto facebook or diy forums, it happens, I daresay 'we' as a country are doing the same.

You'll find that the further right wing a government is prepared to go, the more attractive they become to Russian influence. It's more "in bed with the reds" rather than under. Click me.

That'll be why Putin only just scraped in.

In which way do you believe that Russia interferes in UK politics.
Can it be quantified or is it just what you believe it to be.

If it doesn't go the way they want it to go, it must therefore be the fault of somebody else, when the old chestnut of blaming 'racists' and 'thick northerners' starts to wear thin, blame the Russians, standard fallback procedure.

That's why there was an investigation.
Only we don't get to see the report...

In the same way that there was an investigation into the effects of brexit.
Only we don't get to see the report...

A bit of a pattern emerging

What people don't understand is that Russophobia was a leading cause of WW2 , Hitlers rise to power was on the back of Western paranoia about the imminent takeover of everything they held dear by Jeremy Corbyn clones directed from Russia.
Hitler was the darling of the Capitalist class at the beginning because they thought he could be controlled and would sort the socialist threat from the East.
Unfortunately for all concerned it didn't turn out like that.

What about Roswell, I am still waiting for the truth to come out.
