Ben Bradshaw has always been a ridiculous waste of space but he's truly excelled himself with this buffoonery.

There is some evidence that Russians, either independently or under the Kremlin's control, may have hacked into the DNC in order to influence the US Presidential election.
http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-36913000 There isn't any such evidence the Russians did any such hacking in the UK's EU Referendum. |

There is definitely a crazy, lost-the-plot sector of the Remain Camp, and even in parliament, not just on forums like this
![]() He actually said "Probably in our own referendum last year - we don't have the evidence for this but I think it is highly probable." How on earth do we elect people like this? |

Does anyone question that an EU pulling apart, a right-wing pro-Russian Trump and more calamity in the ME (driving refugees towards Europe) isn't a positive thing for Russia?
duh. |

Especially as we don't use electronic voting.
![]() It would appear that there is strong evidence to believe that Russia was hacking in order to manipulate and influence the outcome of the US election. I think we would be naive to think that they don't hack into our security/government information systems. Some time ago I read (can't find it now) how it was Putin's intention to destabilise the EU preferably by a UK withdrawl amd also to manipulate/intefere with US elections causing chaos and instability. This has been a 'shock' year with a great deal of uncertainty and unpredictabilty globally. I think we'd be naive to ust dismiss the possibilty of intervention/interference of malign intent. And ...................I like Ben Bradshaw

duh. If, however, the West changed tack and tried a more intelligent approach to Russia Putin might not have a bogey man to blame for the ills of his country and just maybe the people would realise that he isn't all that good for them after all. |

I didn't know Russia had the capability to hack the brains of people counting the votes.

They sure didn't have any qualms about supporting a tyrant thus sending waves of refugees fleeing into Europe.

Putin's popularity at home is largely based on the USA and "the West" being overtly anti Russia and threatening them everywhere. And we have obliged him.
If, however, the West changed tack and tried a more intelligent approach to Russia Putin might not have a bogey man to blame for the ills of his country and just maybe the people would realise that he isn't all that good for them after all. What would a 'more intelligent' approach to Russia be? Ignoring our alliances? Letting them push into Eastern Europe? Until you describe what 'intelligent approach' to Russia means your comment is meaningless. |

So what actions did they take then?
It took many years before Philby, Mclean, Burgess and Blunt were revealed to be spies - do you think it all stopped after they were uncovered? How much easier it must be now with the technology we have. |

It might have been a Russian.
His name was Boris I believe. |

But this thread is about Russians supposedly fixing the Brexit result. Or that's what a Labour MP thinks is "probable". So since none of these refugees had a vote, how about you tell us how Putin pulled off Brexit?

Well I think they're probably a little bit more subtle than to make it blindingly obvious don't you?

How much easier it must be now with the technology we have. However, we are discussing how Russian hackers could have made millions of Britons vote a particular way. So I ask again any evidence or suggestions as to what they might have done? |
