Liam Fox: he handed over huge wodges of government secrets to the Russians and the Tories told you Jeremy Corbyn was somehow to blame.
The Tory government – and its fans in the UK mass media – really did a number on the public with this one.
It seems that Russian hackers broke into then-International Trade Secretary Liam Fox’s personal email account to get the information – which should not have been held there in any event.
Not only that, but they did this by asking Fox for his account details – and like the wet-behind-the-ears damnfool he is, he handed them over of his own free will.
That is what we’re now being told.
Fox was apparently targeted by a “spear phishing” email – a tactic that is so obvious, primary schoolchildren know to avoid them.
The information he handed over made it possible for the hackers to take material from his email account on multiple occasions between July 12 and October 2, 2019.
It is not known whether the information on key briefings was stolen after he resigned from the cabinet on July 24. If it was, then what was he doing, still possessing those details?
Details of the UK-US deal were then published by an anonymous hacker online, where Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour team discovered them and publicised the fact that the Conservatives – if re-elected in December – planned to sell off those parts of the NHS that could be used to make a profit to fatcat US corporations.
And the media said this meant Corbyn was in cahoots with the Russians.
And most of the UK electorate believed it and voted the Tories in with a huge majority – ensuring that there would be no way to stop the big NHS sell-off.
The lie was resurrected last month, when it was used as a “dead cat” to distract from the revelation in the so-called “Russia Report” that the Tories created a welcoming environment for Russians to launder money in the UK, and looked the other way rather than even consider Russian interference in our elections and referendums.
So Corbyn was doorstepped by a grinning gang of BBC TV reporters and a load of flapdoodle was published in the papers.
In fact, it seems he was among the last to know.
According to Skwawkbox, the Torygraph managed to get hold of the information two days before the Russians!
Of course the Cabinet Office has said
the Government has very robust systems in place to protect the IT systems of officials and staff.
But if you believe that, after all the other Tory lies revealed above, then you really have got the government you deserve.
