We shouldn't forget those who willingly would peddle the Kremlin's line if they got richer doing so. |
Agreed.
Russian agents got away with a poisoning on British soil, interfering in overseas elections via social media and invading Ukraine eight years ago.
Meanwhile, the British government was asleep at the wheel with a report on Russian influence buried whilst many former and current politicians cosied up to the oligarchs that commonsense said could not have made that wealth honestly.
