    This is an obvious and concrete, no 'conspiracy' here, example of a foreign leader 'interfering' in the politics of the UK and attempting to 'influence' the tide of political events in a direction he's happy with.

    Compare this brazen meddling with the attitude to the alleged Russian actions, which in stark contrast are totally insignificant. Our neutered media, will, of course, not make this obvious comparison.

    I actually talked to a journalist about this the other day. She wondered why the Russians would bother, through RT, to undermine the publics confidence in our system, she referred to an article where RT had touched on the 'dangers' that the 5G system might have because of increased radiation. But, as she said, that's an example of 'fake news' from RT, part of their attacks on our instituions in a veritable information war that's going on. I ventured that we in the West were doing pretty much the same kind of thing, everywhere and that we invented the game of lies. She looked a bit surprised and replied that that was different because we were using the... 'truth' compared to RT that simply peddles lies that only resemble proper journalism. But would you have a job if you and your colleagues didn't think like that? I wondered aloud. She looked somewhat puzzled at the implications inherent in my question. Fortunately, I suppose my wife gave me a sharp kick, I'm used to this, under the table and changed the subject... to gardening and the drought.
