Foreign money shaping UK politics

[SydneyRover]

Why do wealthy foreigners want Brexit, there must be a reason?

"Wealthy US donors gave millions to rightwing UK groups

Revelations raise questions about influence of foreign funding on British politics''

"Eleven wealthy American donors who have given a total of more than $3.7m (£2.86m) to rightwing UK groups in the past five years have been identified, raising questions about the influence of foreign funding on British politics.

The donations have been given to four British thinktanks that have been vocal in the debate about Brexit and the shape of the UK’s future trade with the EU, and an organisation that claims to be an independent grassroots campaign representing ordinary British taxpayers''

This on top of: "Russian donors have given £3.5 million to the Conservative party''

Plus you have billionaire Murdoch spreading his poison politics via media empire

Putting a brake on this is the only real way to take back control in the UK.

[Glyn_Wigley]

But you've got to take back control in order to be able to sell it to the highest bidder!

[SydneyRover]

It's a laugh innit, the only ones that are taking back control is big business and the massively rich, remind me johnson said about working class people, criminal, feckless, drunk.

No wonder he feels like he can tell fairy stories, it's worse than turkeys voting for Xmas, it's likeinviting yourself to your own execution.
