fuck all to do with team boris.

What did you want to happen or what did you want them to find?, ...that our election and referendum processes had been meddled in, so the results could be deemed void and overturned, therefore NO Brexit and NO Tory Govt ?

You are missing the point. Russia are interfering into our democracy and successive governments have been asleep at the wheel, not even monitoring. That is a worrying situation for us all. 

cant be arsed seems to be a recurring theme

Just goes to show dont believe social media. Far too easy to manipulate and for the likes of China and Russia to cause havoc.

Folk saying well Russian attempts to influence Scotland vote didnt work are missing the point. Their aim is to discredit democracy and weaken the west. If they can get enough folk thinking all govts are corrupt its job done.

After they were caught bang to rights in Salisbury (and Holland) were do people think all the conspiracy theories about Britain trying to blame Russia, Russian innocence, Western collusion all came from? Russia planting false stories on social media and folk (especially young and twitter knobs)spread it. all muddies the water and leads to doubts when it should be clear- this is how Putin wages war against the West. 

Look at all this Qanon and conspiracy nonsense in America the Russians have got Americans too busy fighting each other and Trump is revelling in it and its all helping Russia & China.  weaken NATO weaken Europe isolate and weaken US. No unified opposition so invade Crimea destabilise Ukraine get away with murder in Syria etc. Meanwhile weve got Trump & Boris . 

 

Some good stuff in there snowball: there is a fundamental question over social media though, and that is one of "freedom of speech and press".

The numerous bogus accounts which are used to spread disinformation must be the responsibility of Twitter and Facebook to identify and remove. If government was to do this (not sure they actually can) then immediately there is the potential for accusation of censorship. 

A really difficult situation, but if people are only willing the look on these platforms for information then that's their problem ultimately. 

Only other thing would be to close down the platforms for a period before and after each vote, though that won't go down well.

Who do we reckon is most likely to be a russian bot on here?

Pretty sure snowball is a tory brexiter and he has nailed it

Nope are take your point I think theres a few on here who look at it more broadly yourself, sweep and Kent jump to mind., it was more that I'd put a smart arse reply to mounts smart arse reply and you think what am I doing? Theres a global pandemic and world recession on the horizon and I'm arguing with a bloke I've met fleetingly and thought was a decent bloke, who I know wont change his mind so why am I trying to wind up someone I think is alright,  lifes hard enough

e2e4. An elaborate double bluff

So if some don't adapt to your way of thinking or agree with your opinion, its called tribalism and they must be wrong or thick as some on here might say 😏

Nope never said that, not sure why you would?

Putin reported to have given the former Russia ambassador to uk an order of merit on his return and said we have smashed them to their knees... hes right, I worry how much of a part they played in this, anyone going on Facebook can see how easy it is to whip up people against each other.. we're a massively divided country being led into the abyss (sorry taking back control) led by a bloke who's selfishness is only surpassed by his laziness.. if russia did play a part they are very good at it.

was he on about Marseille?
