NEW THREAD - Last week, the Canadian Parliament's ETHI committee continued their pursuit of the truth, regarding Aggregate IQ and Brexit, when they interviewed CEO Zack Massingham. It was brutal; because, as you can see from this previous appearance, AIQ had lied to them. 1/14
It's shameful that a group of Canadian politicians are doing the hand tied UK authorities work. From this hors d'oeuvres from Frank Baylis through to the main course by Charlie Angus, their pursuit of Massingham, who would only speak from his lawyers office, is relentless. 2/14
Ruthlessly persistent @frankbayliss continues to set-up Massingham, for questioning by other MPs, by repeatedly asking if the evidence of wrongdoing presented by @BindmansLLP is incorrect....yes or no. 3/14
MP Raj Saini now asks Massingham about the scripts, recently revealed by @VickerySec, which create 'fake work logs' and moves on to a curious statement by an AIQ employee regarding 'free money' from Nigel Farage's UKIP party on the day the EU referendum result was announced. 4/14
Peter Kent completes the opening skirmishes by enquiring why AIQ's versions of events differs so markedly from all others who have conducted inquiries into their behaviour and then asks if they're the fall guys for others. 5/14
Moving on to the main course, MP @CharlieAngusNDP quickly addresses the serious problem Zack Massingham and fellow director Jeff Silvester have with two reports from the @ElectoralCommUK and the @ICOnews. 6/14
Charlie Angus continues to probe a now clearly uncomfortable Massingham on what happened to the $1m supposedly given to AIQ by BeLeave, via Vote Leave, for their ads that weren't run on Facebook. Confused? Not as much as Zack. 7/14
Charlie Angus now spells it out to Massingham whose weasel worded reply needs to be listened to carefully. Nobody is doubting that $1m of ads were placed on Facebook, the question is whose ads was that money spent on. 8/14
Charlie Angus brings it all together and again asks, "how were AIQ set-up to be the patsy unless you were involved?" In a quite unfathomable response, Massingham claims that AIQ aren't mentioned in the @ICOnews and @ElectoralCommUK inquiry reports! 9/14
@beynate now picks through the debris field left of Massingham's answers to Charlie Angus and makes a remarkable discovery surrounding Massingham's knowledge of the reports from the @ICOnews and the @ElectoralCommUK. 10/14
A patient Nathaniel Erskine-Smith teases out the truth from Massingham who, despite being CEO, looks to the perfectly believable Jeff Silvester for answers to the findings of two reports naming AIQ involved in breaking UK law...baby steps! 11/14
Elequently, and dismissing all attempts at conflation and distraction, Charlie Angus's devastating summation describes, "a serious breach in UK electoral law that undermined the Brexit vote which has caused ongoing economic and social upheaval. 12/14
It's remarkable that our government stays silent as a committee of a foreign government investigates and exposes the greatest scandal in UK political history whilst those involved continue to plot and scheme within our government to deliver what they broke the law for. 13/14
The likes of @beynate, @frankbaylis and particularly @CharlieAngusNDP deserve a knighthood for what they're doing. If you'd like to listen to the complete proceedings you can do so on our YouTube channel here 14/14 -
#AIQ's CEO Zack Massingham, under oath, told the Canadian parliament that AIQ ran $1m worth of #Beleave ads on #Facebook.
A reminder what Facebook confirmed to the @ICOnews:
Don't be fooled, this isn't Oakeshott's ignorance on display here, it's a blatant example of the Leave movement's deliberate strategy of conflating EU membership with issues that provoke fear and insecurity in a section of the electorate with the sole aim of misdirecting them.1/6
Oakeshott's well rehearsed weasel words, designed to increase her chosen audience's anti-EU feelings, is part of a coordinated strategy that includes gaslighting the electorate and discrediting politicians & journalists who are trying to expose them. 2/6 economist.com/graphic-detail…
Here's the reality behind this country's immigration policy failure and it's not the fault of the EU. We're not in Schengen, we have full control of our borders yet our government refuses to use the immigration powers we have as members of the EU. 3/6 brexitshambles.com/the-uk-refused…
New Thread - Another must listen.
It's That Man Again - Charlie Angus!
This week @CharlieAngusNDP along with @carolecadwalla and a cameo by @mrjamesob continue to tread the path our MSM and Government refuse to travel when they speak with Anna Maria Tremonti on CBC Radio - 1/7
Here Charlie explains to the people of Canada what most in the UK are oblivious to...how a small Canadian company, above an opticians shop, was used to tip the EU referendum and damage the integrity of our electoral process. - 2/7
Charlie Angus, 'This isn't a witch-hunt' "This is about dark operators" "It's about flipping elections" "If it can happen in the UK and the US, it can happen in Canada" - 3/7
Thick as thieves...... Hannan and Singham again, Bromund of 'Anglo-American Relations,' Steifel of the Cato Institute, for the Heritage Foundation. The IEA again, this time with Arlene Foster and Nigel Dodds of the #DUP.
Flies on a turd..... Elliott's infamous 'Tax Payers' Alliance,' with Priti Patel again, and, of course @LowTaxChloe. The Bruges Group, with Patel (again), Jenkyns (again) and @OwenPaterson.....
Half of voters think migration is a strain on public services - BECAUSE FOR YEARS, YOU AND THE REST OF THE POPULAR RIGHT-WING PRESS, HAVE BEEN MISINFORMING THEM THAT IT IS!! dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6…
That said, all countries must operate effective immigration policies, but, as you can read here, the deliberate conflation of the UK's approach with our membership of the EU is wrong; our perceived problems are of our governments own making. brexitshambles.com/the-uk-refused…
(2) It's a strange tale of how a collection of powerful, right wing, ideological #Tories took it upon themselves to employ, manage and manipulate the young, ambitious, and impressionable. Eventually using them toward a means to an end that has been decades in the making.......
(3) Wait? You know this story already? #VoteLeave set up a 'fake' company for a couple of students.... etc. etc. etc. Yes, that is correct. Except this wasn't the first time those behind the Vote Leave campaign had set up a fake firm in the name of young activists......
Please take the time to listen & RT the hell out of trade negotiator @JasonJHunter taking @BrexitCentral editor @isaby to the cleaners on the catastrophic implications of a no deal #Brexit.
Isaby's deathly silence towards the end is something to behold:
@JasonJHunter - "This happens every day in international trade, the fact that you don't know what you're talking about doesn't do you any favours..... @isaby -
For those unaware of Matthew Elliott's groom-of-the-stool, here's Jonathan Isaby "defending" his then deputy at BrexitCentral & #VoteLeave patsy, Darren Grimes, before Grimes was found to have broken electoral law by the @ElectoralCommUK in the #EURef:
