    Let me translate.

    The Tories are up to their neck in dirty Russian money and have playing the tune their paymaster decides.

  2. Mental that having a party did more damage to the tories reputation than you know, all this shit. But whatever takes them down I guess

  3. This is why we need a better government. People in the UK who are calling for the Russians to overthrow Putin as a way out of the current situation in Ukraine, must see the *irony* in the UK government being in thrall to Russian money to the extent that they are. As it stands, I would vote for a party who would end this, and also do something about battling Russian social-media influence in our country. It’s not ‘freedom of speech’, it’s the propaganda of a deluded fantasist. What really needs to be questioned is how our education system remains so poor that many kids come out of 12 years of education unable to think in a critical way about this stuff.

  4. This was fucking obvious from the start. Well done to everyone who ignored it because they just loved Boris so fucking much, you absolute divs, well done, you willingly voted for Russian meddling in UK politics, but hey iF iT WeRe CorByN iT WoUlD bE WorSe!

  5. I wrote this letter to my MP last week

    Dear Rebecca
    In light of the terrible Russian invasion of Ukraine, would you agree that the Conservative Party should do the right thing and donate all the money given by the Russian supporters of your party (most of whom were closely linked to the Putin regime) to help with the humanitarian relief of civilians in Ukraine.
    It would indeed be a fantastic and well received gesture and would go some way in cleaning your party from questionable donations from those Russians who may have their names on the Council register but aren’t residents of the UK for tax purposes.
    I look forward to hearing from you.

  6. When you elect the worst of people, this is what will happen.

    I wrote a few years ago that voting for conservatives always leads to personal regret eventually, at least in most moral people.
    Now they’re trying to play the patriotic card to distract from the crimes they have been committing with Russia all these years. Even after the invasion of Ukraine, they have given notice to Russia of impending sanctions, allowing the oligarchs to retrieve their bloody-lucre.

    The Conservative Party is a party rife with traitors and voted in by the greed-giddiest of this country.

  7. “When I fought for justice for my husband, I couldn’t understand why political society here and the Conservative Party tried to prevent justice, tried to prevent all knowledge about this case to become publicly known.

    “I started finding how many Russian wealthy people became donors of Conservative Party, how people from Russia came for special events with the Conservative Party.
