    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

      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.

          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.

            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?

                  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.
                  Tories need face to face meetings! Interestingly not to countries with lower COVID-19 infection and death rates
                  Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

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