Russia interference Report

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

I think it's more not learning. It's indivuals in power protecting their own interests over the needs of the nation. I'm sure social media journalism will find out who's heavily influenced by oligarchy.

I think it's more than "not learning".
This is wilfully negligent.

By not learning I mean our Government not appearing to understand that Russia are willing to play the long game when looking out for its own interests. The old Communist ideal of suffering for the greater good of the nation never really went away.

I think they've deliberately ignored what seems to me to be obvious and standard behaviour. Russia don't have the all out economic power to subvert, but they can subvert from behind the scenes.

The govt have taken short term gain over long term solidity.

Committee suggesting government not being wholly transparent with them ?

I think that's in the Tory part rule book?

I think they need to take a look at who the money is going to and what they are getting out of these “donations”

these dinners and sit downs that cost 20/30k each need examining

Ahhh the days of a Labour government when no Russian oligarchs lived in the UK...

I agree.

I think it will come out. No party has been cleared of having any Russian influence.
