Russian influence in the UK was "the new normal"

[Westward]

So... The Russians might have posted some stuff on social media that might have influenced the way people voted or might have sown some dissent, possibly. Then a bunch of MPs with too much time on their hands and who've joined some meaningless committee because it boosts their salaries, think the government should have done something unspecified to limit the effect of something equally unspecified and then produced a report to make point about ... Something.

It's a non issue, but it's grist to mill for the lefty news media like the BBC, Ch 4 and the Independent who never pass up any opportunity, real or imagined, to attack the government.

All of this Russia Bashing I am shore people actually think that GB and the US never do any of this stuff to other countries the Americans and the British are behind more good governments being overthrown just so that we can make money we do not give a **** about what happens to the people who live in these countries if the Russions are doing this to us then it is nothing more than we deserve.

So the It USA interference, Israeli, German, french, Dutch, Chinese, etc etc was not an issue, just the Russians.....

 

And then there is the whole UK interference in everyone else's elections from the beginnings of colonialism to present days sanctions and seeding terrorists and anti government protests.

Did anyone forget Obama sticking his nose into our business?  Did his comment make any difference ?  Certainly made me more detrmined to vote to get us out as fast as possible and it does appear from the latest fiasco with the EU we just got out in time.

I meant Corbyn, he gave information to the Bulgarians years ago. What would he have done with all the State secrets if he ever got elected?

strange how we do not see our MPs wanting to ban the BBC or SKY as well as RT I look at them all and take most of it with a large pinch of salt.

Quite a few MPs have called for the BBC to be defunded. I'm afraid the days when the BBC could be regarded as impartial have long gone. Time to do away with the licence fee and let it sink or swim on it's own.

I know!! And what did they want for it - that's the question.

I must say I met David Cameron shortly after he became the MP for Witney - and went home and said to my wife I have met the guy who can beat Tony Blair - I was almost right. Still got the letter somewhere from him on House of Commons paper.

When you dig deep into all sorts of campaining groups like BLM, ER and even Mumsnet you find hard left activists behind the scenes pulling the strings. Im sure its no coincidence
