Tories need face to face meetings! Interestingly not to countries with lower COVID-19 infection and death rates

Countries with lower Covid-19 rates don’t allow higher Russian infections to feck them up.

Russia plans to resume some international flights from 1 August, deputy prime minister Tatiana Golikova said on Friday, but the list of destinations will initially be limited to Tanzania, Turkey and the United Kingdom.

“ However, the report concludes that there is no direct evidence of Russian influence in the 2016 Brexit referendum.”

Russia report: Kremlin 'tried to meddle in Scottish independence vote' - but did not target Brexit



And why there would be direct evidence when people who can get it know they will be whacked later in Britain even if that involves usage of banned chemical weapons?

“However, the report concludes that there is no direct evidence of Russian influence in the 2016 Brexit referendum.” ..

It was pitiful watching obviously Remainer commentators interviewing the MPs on the committee, desperately trying to uncover an EU referendum angle, in a last ditch effort to derail Brexit.

Why are you bothered about a channel nobody watches?
(Perhaps I'm showing my age, but to me RT will always mean the Radio Times .)

He has a slight obsession with it - and ZH (Zerohedge). RT's take:

‘Nothing sensational. Fake-shaped Russophobia’: Moscow brushes aside UK report on Russian interference — RT Russia News

British state media also operates in Russia and covers the Russian political scene, strongly favoring opposition movements.

Among other things, the report claimed that Russia had secretly had a hand in the 2014 Scottish independence referendum, but said public allegations that it had influenced the 2016 Brexit referendum could not be confirmed by British intelligence. Some have pointed out that this suits the present British government which supports Brexit, but opposes Scottish independence.

Russia report: UK 'badly underestimated' threat, says committee - BBC News

FFS - shut down RT, even if Russia bans BBC - there is far more damage RT does here than any good BBC can do in totally controlled Russia.

Start dealing with money laundering - of dirty money billions go via London and feck all is done about it.

And cancel visas for kids of Russian officials FFS

It’s all BS because Russian Ambassador gave strong denial - instead of wasting taxpayers money on investigations they should have just asked him.

Worse - it was “actively avoided” as quoted by the BBC - Russian moles inside HM Govt prevented the real official investigation

There have been widespread public allegations that Russia sought to influence the 2016 referendum on the UK’s membership of the EU. The impact of any such attempts would be difficult - if not impossible - to assess, and we have not sought to do so.
However, it is important to establish whether a hostile state took deliberate action with the aim of influencing a UK democratic process, irrespective of whether it was successful or not.

And:

In response to our request for written evidence at the outset of the inquiry, MI5 initially provided just six lines of text.The brevity was also, to us, again, indicative of the extreme caution amongst the intelligence and security agencies at the thought that they might have any role in relation to the UK’s democratic processes, and particularly one as contentious as the EU referendum.


We repeat that this attitude is illogical; this is about the protection of the process and mechanism from hostile state interference, which should fall to our intelligence and security agencies.

Here is a very simple thing - if they have not found Russian (and Chinese) interference then they simply did not look hard enough.

” Malone : Liquor raid. ... Ness, everybody knows where the booze is. The problem isn't finding it, the problem is who wants to cross Capone.”

Not even Her Majesty’s Govt wants to cross Putin - SAD!

That's because it wasn't investigated you utter numpty
