Disinformation


I'm constantly amazed at pronouncements that disinformation campaigns don't work. 


The two largest, Russian disinformation campaigns emanating from Russia in recent years have been concerning 5G spreading C-19 and propaganda against vaccinations. The UK has the highest percentage of anti-vaxxers in Europe and we all know about the 5G mast burnings. 

In addition to that, every trope pumped out by Brexiteers on Facebook, from non-existent paragraphs in the Lisbon Treaty to the imbalance of trade giving the UK all the cards in EU trade negotiations, is based on disinformation. 

A vast swathe of the British public is gullible, as evidenced by the fact we're leaving the EU at a time when we most need it and we have chosen an inveterate liar, charlatan and clown as our Prime Minister - a man so glaringly incompetent that, as Foreign Secretary, he was considered a security risk - no further evidence is required, it's self-evident.
