Hey can someone read the russia report for me, I'm busy watching a contractor wash his hands in the beaurocracy of hands off delegation of services to a third party with little to no oversight at the Grenfell inquiry. 

thx

I cheated and started multi tasking. 

I have enjoyed this paragraph amongst others:

50. What is now clear is that it was in fact counter-productive, in that it offered ideal
mechanisms by which illicit finance could be recycled through what has been referred to as
the London ‘laundromat’. The money was also invested in extending patronage and building
influence across a wide sphere of the British establishment – PR firms, charities, political
interests, academia and cultural institutions were all willing beneficiaries of Russian money,
contributing to a ‘reputation laundering’ process. In brief, Russian influence in the UK is
‘the new normal’, and there are a lot of Russians with very close links to Putin who are well
integrated into the UK business and social scene, and accepted because of their wealth. This
level of integration – in ‘Londongrad’ in particular – means that any measures now being
taken by the Government are not preventative but rather constitute damage limitation.

Oh? Like last night MPs voting to get rid of the clause that protects the NHS from being "on the table" at trade talks with the US?

Or maybe the pay rise announced for public sector workers that actually doesn't include nurses or carers?

Carers got a clap though. And some pots ‘n’ pans related banging. And still they demand more?!

I feel like just burying my head in the sand and avoiding everything until this government somehow fall, it’s so demoralising. They stink like a festering, bloated corpse and yet somehow the British electorate can’t even seem to smell it.

Saw a good video on twitter earlier, a few years ago the conservatives started up a forum called "The Conservative Friends of Russia"

Is it? The summary seems to be "There might have been some russian interference on Brexit but no one checked"

Better summary:

“We strongly believe there was Russian interference in the Brexit vote.”

“Well, we didn’t see any.”

“Did you look for any?”

“Lol, no.”

“And will you allow us to have a look on your behalf?”

“Absolutely fucking not.”

Nothing matters anymore. Short of someone digging up a photo of Johnson accepting a suitcase full of cash from Putin and the suitcase has the word ‘Bribe’ written on it.

I wouldn't even give them that much credit.
Bohnson will just make some horrific joke about umbrellas.

Please don’t

The sheer bare faced dissembling cuntery of these fuckers is astounding. Shan't Grapps, the transport minister, on the BBC right now is saying that although the report says unequivocally that no-one was looking for interference by Russia, that in fact 'they are looking all of the time, 24/7' and the report is wrong. Asked three times, he stated that the opposite of what the report stated was actually the case.

What's the fucking point?

I'd prefer if we just didn't go through the shitshow, I don't fancy trying to have to do a peasants revolt in an age where the landed gentry are backed up by a 21st century military.
