Any hoo we now have the clear evidence that the brexit vote was as i expected totally legitimate.

but . . . but . . there's no evidence that there isn't any evidence, which proves the point that there might be evidence we've got no evidence of . . . evidently :D

I have evidence of foreign interference in our 2016 Brexit referendum and it seemed to be perfectly fine when it suited the Remainers, former U.S President Barack Obama threatening back of queue on a leave result. If that wasn't foreign interference in plain sight then the Russians just didn't get their foot in the door fast enough.

Nigel Farage demands serious apologies from arch Remainers as he waves Russia report

The Brexiteer hit out after a long-awaited probe into alleged Russian interference in British democracy said it would be "difficult - if not impossible" to assess whether any such attempts had been successful. Mr Farage tweeted: “So, no evidence of Russian interference in the referendum. Some serious apologies are due.https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/13...ferendum-putin

No, per the article, we never asked the question. Perhaps we followed the mantra "Don't ask questions you don't like the answer to!"

So where is the evidence that anybody did anything untoward? If somebody claims X committed a burglary, it doesn't seem too much to ask the what, when, and where in connection with it. There isn't even a "somebody did X", it's a "Russia did something, we don't know what, but they must have". We can't be expected to agree or disagree with something, when it's not possible to be told what that something is meant to be. How can we judge any supposed effect and influence of a non-specified action.:confused:
What exactly was meant to be investigated? Was there a specific thing to be investigated? If you had been asked to investigate, where would you start? There's not even an "X happened, who was responsible". There is no "X" identified.

That could be unfair to the Government as it suggests a malign intent. Negligence and/or incompetence should be considered too

Fair shout.

Again, nobody wants to ask why the government "didn't ask" about Brexit referendum interference when it asked about interference in other referendums.

If the government had asked and no evidence was found, that'd be great - we could put the debate to bed right now, but by not asking the question they've left it open for debate much longer. Even if you're a staunch leaver and 100% believe there to be zero interference, you should still be pissed off at the government cocking up here as it means us remoaners are still going to go on about it.

It could have ended, but it didn't. Now you just have to ask why.

That wouldn't have stopped the Remain side, Nothing but total overturning of the democratic decision would do that.


At least with the usual conspiracy theories(eg 5G and Covid), there is a chance to disprove or prove it. Until somebody can actually come up with the "X" in "X happened, who was responsible", there is nothing that could be proven or disproven. Has anybody come up with an "X" of any substance and effect?

We could ask our intelligence agencies if Russia interfered. Crazy thought, I know.

So is the thread title correct? Was/is Labour complicit with Russian interference in the 2019 UK General Election?

And yet you have no issue with Obama helping your side with his threat, I will give you a clue, that was Foreign interference too!!!

There should have been no foreign interference by any country allied or not, yet your side wheeled him out and he stood there with his stupid threat, how many people did he influence to vote Remain???

It should never have been allowed, yet it was totally fine with your side.

Total hypocrites.

What exactly is meant to have taken place? What unexplained things are meant to have been that noticeable? It's a case of "the bogeyman done it", "done what", "erm don't know, he just did". There is zero evidence of anything having taken place, so getting into who was responsible, is more than a little bit premature.

Re: UK Intelligence report in to Russian interference in UK Elections/Scottish Refere
 
BREAKING NEWS!

"This is staggering – the UK didn't know that Russia was going to invade Scotland because it never sought to ask!

We now know why.

They had never specifically instructed MI5, MI6 and GCHQ - the intelligence and security agencies tasked with protecting the UK - with looking at precisely this issue."
