Why isn't the idea that Brexit was a Russian intel operation being discussed [View all]

It seems strange that with all the evidence that Russia is committing cyber warfare across the world that this isn't getting more attention in the UK. Look at Calexit. The people behind it live in Russia. Look at LaFarage supporting Calexit, hanging around Rohrabach and Assange, and meeeting Trump.

Because it wasn't a "Russian intel operation". Denzil_DC Oct 2017 #12
