to the extent this can be judged it is relative to our european neighbours, and they look much more wobbly-knee'd that than the UK (with the honorable exceptions of the eastern baltic states).

i love the idea that russia bought brexit. makes me want to invest in tinfoil futures.

Does it mean it's ok for our politicians to take Russian money then? Corbyn got flak for taking the Russians' side over Salisbury, deservedly. Why does the other side taking hostile money get excuses made for them?

Personally, I'm suspicious of influence from various countries in whom I have little faith that they have good intentions for the UK. Russia and China prime amongst them.
