U.K. Labour MP Blames Russia For Brexit Vote



The Independent: Labour MP claims it's 'highly probable' Russia interfered with Brexit referendum

Ben Bradshaw said it would fit a pattern of meddling from the Russian state

A Labour MP has claimed that it is "highly probable" that Vladimir Putin’s Russia interfered in the UK’s Brexit referendum.

Ben Bradshaw said Moscow’s likely interference in the vote would fit a pattern of meddling in other nations’ affairs, following the CIA’s accusation that Russian hackers tried to influence the recent US elections.

Speaking in the Commons debate on Aleppo, Mr Bradshaw also claimed that the huge flows of migrants into Europe had been deliberately encouraged by Russia to destabilise the EU.

It would be just as easy to blame Obamas "back of the line" speech than anything else.

I think Barack Obama going to the UK to lobby for remain and using threats to try and get his point sccross solidified the vote for BREXIT. David Cameron's little speech where he likened BREXIT to jumping out of a plane and then trying to get back on the plane.

Note to BHO, people generally don't respind well to threats. Besides what good is a "trade deal" to people who already can barely feed their families.

Note to DC, the air in the "plane", at least in the coach section was stale, the food barely edible, and things were getting worse. To make matters worse, occassionally the door to first class opens and those in the coach section see those in first class living it up at their expense. Then to add insult to injury those is first class, in this analogy, routinely deal with those in coach in a deceitful and condescending manner. I suspect everyone in the UK picked up on this with Mr. Cameron's analogy and this likely solidified BREXIT.

Until these people both in western Europe and America engage in some circumspection and soul searching on why they lost they haven't seen anything yet. Their losses will multiply in both speed and intensity.

Unfortunately some thugs resort to trying to destroy that which they can't have. I hope these people don't behave in this manner.
