Good point, flash. To which I would add:

'We're talking about an insidious campaign that reaches into people's homes and twists what they feel about their own country and community – creating a narrative of decline, stoking division and sowing despair.'

Ah, so if you think the UK is in decline, the country divided and you feel despair at the way things are going it must be because you've been hypnotised by those dastardly Russians. The fact you're in debt with no prospect of getting out, you can't afford to feed your kids, heat your house or drive your car (if you can even afford housing, a vehicle, or starting a family in the first place), no matter how much zero hours contract gig-work you get... all of that is besides the point, and harping on about it is evidence of your lack of patriotism. It might even suggest you're an evil commie fifth columnist for Putin and need to have your internet access more tightly controlled.

What's the betting there's no evidence to back up any of these mendacious claims?
