The explanation is very simple, our government, amongst others, gave them agency to murder, maim and torture a captive population. We supplied arms, arnements, logistics and intelligence including boots on the ground and planes in the air.

So, the treasurer of a party that hasn’t won an election in Scotland since the 1950s wants to build enormous data centres here. Conveniently far away from Tory voters in the south of England.

Why on earth does this BBC piece on Burnham telling an interviewer the UK security services confirmed Russian interference in the Brexit referendum require a response from a pro Brexit pressure group? It's literally our Prime Minister telling us about election security. It's nothing to do with them.
