Harrystottle   10 #3 Posted February 8, 2018 Bush also says, to this day, Iraq was involved in 911 so Id put that article in a bin marked "big load of **** from a liar" and carry on with your day.  Abso-blinking-lutely. All this garbage about the Russians "interfering" in elections. Clinton lost, Remain lost and the establishment is looking for a bogeyman to blame; and Russia is it.  One day on here I'll do a list of places where the West has "interfered" in the politics of other countries in a very direct way.

Harrystottle   10 #6 Posted February 9, 2018 Interestingly Bush also said in Mel's link that "Whether (Russia) affected the outcome is another question". Because then they might have to explain how half a dozen Russians on Facebook could have more influence than Hilary Clinton's $1.2 billion dollar election fund. And that might be difficult.  US and UK politicians have been going on about this for ages, yet there still hasn't been any evidence forthcoming, only allegations.  As for Russian interference in Brexit, Facebook have conducted an investigation and concluded that there was no Russian interference in Brexit. Twitter have looked at 49 accounts linked to a Russian troll factory which sent out 943 tweets during the referendum or 0.005% of the total.
