What intrigued me re the subsequent media reaction after that vetted version of the Russia Report was the fact that on Monday The Telegraph fronted a headline that the 2014 Scottish Referendum had been "meddled with" and yet in their Tuesday edition the 2016 EU Referendum was untouched?????? Don't you find that highly convenient from a political viewpoint of such a highly questionable and unscrupulous British govt that there was no evidence??????? Indeed the basic error in this Telegraph tale spreading to other press outlets was, at best, a half truth, is this: an "absence of evidence" is not "evidence of absence" particularly when your spooks have been on a tea-break for four years and inadvertently failed to follow any leads. And just when the Scot Tories, in Edinburgh, pressed for a Scot govt enquiry (btw powers they don't have!), in Westminster Johnson's administration loftily swotted away any scrutiny that should be held to run back over the events of 2016 - Brexit's mystique must be maintained at all cost eh!!! It seems likely that Russia did interfere in both referenda but lets be clear - THIS ISN'T A GAME OF YOUR RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE WAS WORSE THAN MY RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE!!! No matter what your political hue actually is, it is not in our interests for our democracy to be subverted in this way and, although I'm no fan of Tony Blair, I certainly share a view of pressing for further serious scrutiny esp when viewing the phenomenon of mystery money and big donor money that the Tory Party is soused in and the corrosive effect it has on how we are being governed. As for the Scot Tories, maybe it is mounting panic but under Carlaw they seem bereft of strategic thinking. Time n again they pack themselves into painful political contradictions, seemingly unable to restrain themselves to jump on any criticism of the SNP, even when such criticism damages their own political interests. Cynicism and superficiality abound within the Conservative Party that they can be outraged by the lack of an enquiry in Edinburgh while one shouldn't happen in London. Kremlin support can at once be "weaponised" to criticise Scot indy?????? But dare not speak its name on Brexit???????? How gullible does Carlaw and his colluding non-entity cohorts think we are up here??? I think we know better!!!
