    Remainers have been meeting "the enemy" quite openly, I don't remember being sexually aroused at the time. Thanks for the heads up about incontinence pants though, your prior knowledge might prove useful when my time arrives...

    Does that extend to Jeremy Corbyn?

    It's totally not ok.
    And lie about it, while funding a political campaign that the foreign country supports.

    Should we lock up your local corner shop owner because he occasionally takes "Russian money"?
    Odd that Banks should lie about this meetings with embassy staff.

    Why would not it fund those who were orchestrating it?

    It’s small money for big strategic win, so obviously they dis fund it, and the only question who would have taken their dirty money.
