I1L2T3 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 You have to wonder at the ineptitude that involves commissioning a £30bn nuclear weapons system upgrade to protect against the Russians, then caving in to Russian wishes off the back of a few million quid spent on what is effectively warfare through the media. Trident didn’t help us there did it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litotes Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Not much being said on here about Davis's lack of democratic process. Not much being said about the £100bn that the UK has agreed it owes (although it will try to get the final bill down). Nothing being said about the impossible Irish border question. Nothing being said about the non-EU immigration figure of 900,000 residency permits issued in 2016 - up by 52% So glad to have control back...

Magilla Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 (edited) You need to provide links for quotes It's this one:- https://www.economist.com/news/britain/21731669-evidence-so-far-suggests-only-small-campaign-new-findings-are-emerging-all The jist of the article is that far from being "any old tosh", new findings are emerging all the time.

ENG601PM Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Sorry, I should have posted the link. Don't conflate the EU Referendum with the USA Presidential Election. As of today, there is no credible evidence of Russian influence in the EU Referendum available to the public. The mental gymnastics which some people are putting themselves through is fascinating to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apelike Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 https://www.economist.com/news/britain/21731669-evidence-so-far-suggests-only-small-campaign-new-findings-are-emerging-all And a little bit more from that article:- It goes on to say that after the US election, Mark Zuckerberg "poo-poohed" the idea that Facebook was used for Russian propaganda, but has since said he regrets his earlier remarks. So which is the real or the fake news.. Up to 10M may have seen divisive ads, 10M saw divisive ads or 126M Americans may have seen Russian linked posts. No withstanding that this was also about the US elections and not Brexit. It seems that the media also are not sure of the validity and substance of the reports. What is not mentioned though is that despite this Clinton's total beat Trump by 2,864,974 votes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magilla Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Don't conflate the EU Referendum with the USA Presidential Election. The article you quoted is about Brexit interference and it makes the connection. As of today, there is no credible evidence of Russian influence in the EU Referendum available to the public. "available to the public"... The security services certainly seem to think they've tried in our elections, as the PM said a few days ago, so why not the referendum? As the article you quoted says, new findings are emerging all the time. The mental gymnastics which some people are putting themselves through is fascinating to watch. Indeed, a shame you were rumbled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackey lad Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Third time of asking, how is brexit going to improve the lives of the working class under a rather right wing tory government? But we have all been told that Jeremy and the far left will soon be in power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
