How many MPs are in receipt of cash from Russian or pro-Russian sources to lobby on their behalf? Even with the known ones the Tory Cabinet seems to be heavily supported by Russian money https://www.lbc.co.uk/radio/presenters/tom-swarbrick/minister-defends-russia-linked-donations-to-tory-party-by-chernukhin/ And will they on principle, be giving all their Russian donations back (or to charities or to Ukraine)?

Non-Believer Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Let's see how far Boris is prepared to go now in imposing sanctions on Russian money in the City and elsewhere in the UK. My guess is that there'll be even more bullshit and evasion than there was over Partygate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shake me up Judy Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 It's rare that I disagree with you Non-Believer, but I think Boris gets it. He knows his history and I think we'll see a big escalation in the sanctions today. Biden is the big problem now. He's barely sentient. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxanne Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Could the greatest risk to all counties imposing sanctions be retaliation from Russia in the form of cyber attacks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2bees Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Cyber attacks are inevitable, the Russians are the best hackers in the world. We're fucked mate. Go listen to the song I sent you x 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shake me up Judy Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 In relation to the Island, I hope that Alf and senior figures in Government are proactive on this. I'd be getting the FSC in for starters (Today) to get some idea of how much Russian money, in whatever form, is on the Island. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not particularly sophisticated (though some of their cyber attacks are), but they just don't give a fuck about getting caught doing something wrong so they don't have to be sophisticated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
