7. True. Average people and Tories might have a common view toward Russia, however.

I think Tories want to get the currency and banking controls in order.

I also have a feeling that average Brits and Tories agree on their location as a safeguard (obviously not totally) from Russian operatives who can sow chaos, simultaneously providing a likely story filled with the usual suspects, along with fabricated evidence.

Putin's tentacles across the EU are undeniable. His beta tests of sowing discord show the plan.

To better handle the East-West shadow boxing that Putin's using, England can be a staging area to operate faster than the EU Parliament to rapidly deploy active measures if needed, covert or overt. It can offer safe financial haven while even the EU's so-called neutral financial centers either clean up their act or get owned.

Sounds dramatic, because it is. imo, there's more behind Brexit than the media story.
