"And with nothing to tell us which 10-30% that makes the whole dossier unreliable."

Hard to get your head around, isn't it? Go away and have a think and the answer might come to you at some point. Here's clue: think about facts, about science and how that is presented.

DmG: It is difficult, but knowing that interference has occurred is important in and of itself. I suppose it's impossible to quantify the effect but to know it's there and tangible means we can (hopefully) counter it somehow but re-running the election or referendum is pointless.

I don;'t really care about the politics any more, what I find interesting is the relationships that are being unearthed between the Leave campaign and the Trump camp and the fact it's beginning to look like a concerted and targeted effort to lessen the influence of the US in the wider world (by electing a total fuckwit as President) and getting the UK out of Europe and into a position where it has little political influence on how the continent and beyond.

What Russia couldn't achieve by force of arms it is achieving by staying a step ahead wth regards to cyber warfare and the exploitation of social media as a way of influencing public opinion. They're good at it too.
