    I’m surprised it’s as little as 10%

    It’s not just the “dark money” donations to Westminster but the sheer size of the lobby group influencers and other state agents. Whenever there’s an “expert” put on tv or radio on a topic, I notice they come from a number of (usually US-funded) think tanks.

      They’re all at it, not just Russians. Notice how mamy Americans are active in Westminster politics.

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don’t post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(
