Ah, so now Cummings is a RUSSIAN as well! Please make up your minds, was it Cummings and his friends in 'research', the Russians, Facebook, Facebook and Twitter, the Russians on Facebook and Twitter, or some other line of crap you haven't thought up yet?

Notably, even the recent much-lauded independent report into Russian interference (hold on, shouldn't there be an "alleged" in there somewhere?) completely failed to find any evidence and can be neatly summed up as "We couldn't find any proof of anything, we would like the Government to give us a lot more money so we can try again" even though so many people seem to think it DID find something (because the media told them it did. Shame nobody in the media actually bothered to read it properly first, hmm?)

As for Cummings stirring up hatred of unelected EU officials, he didn't need to. They have done that all by themselves, repeatedly. The most obvious example to choose at the moment is the situation of the refugees fleeing the war in France to cross the Channel to England. The EU promulgated the international laws about claiming asylum in the FIRST safe country you arrive in, yet France is still assisting these people to "escape" mainland Europe to seek the land of milk and honey in the UK. The French navy has been filmed floating serenely in the background while small boats flounder, the only assistance they have rendered being to alert the British Coastguard the moment the boats leave France's area of responsibility and enter international waters. And now they "only "want another 30million GBP to "help" stem the flood. On top of us rebuilding the camp at Sangat and the sea walls, the fences, improving security at the French end of the Channel Tunnel, funding additional French guards, supplying UK Border Force personnel to "assist" those same French Guards...

Yeah, Cummings had to work so hard to make people dislike the EU.
