Evidence of Kremlin efforts to use social media to target the 2014 European Parliament elections have been uncovered by researchers at Cardiff University.

There has to come a point sooner or later when the BBC Sky News and Channel 4 look at eachother and think... This isn't working, let's just be honest and gain some respect so people will believe us when we tell a genuine story instead of two bull 💩 like this.

The same Russia that helped Trump get elected? O wait that was bullshit too

Optimum word 'suggests'. It could also read. Social media 'suggests' sky news interfered to stop brexit

Great

Nothing about Facebook and Twitter Interfering in the electrons though mmmmm

Looke like the Brexit Party are not happy with the scrutiny by the amount of Bot tweets on here.

...

Every country, every person needs an evil villain or country to blame for all their woes.

Russia did this Russia did that ... blah blah blah remember when apparently Russia meddled with the US elections and it turned out to be completely false. Yeah no one is falling for it skynews typical anti Russian shit fakenews

Already getting the excuses in I see. Give it a rest, no one is falling for it anymore.

Wow, hasn’t taken long for them to start chatting crap and the polls have only just closed 😳 and 3.2.1. - Russians and we demand a second vote as we lost the first 🤦‍♂️

Putin forced me to vote for Brexit today too 🙄

The votes haven’t been counted yet and there y’all go.

please show us the evidence so the public can help by ignoring this trash

Now that is funny

Anything but actually ask ordinary European people why they are pissed off .

EU actually appeared on the streets of the UK to openly and directly interfere with the democratic process ..... not the imagined online shenanigans.

SUGGESTS? FFS. Anything else you want to throw in? When will you get the message? We voted to leave.

What a waste of money... very low turn outs for elections that actually don’t leave to anything... It’s still the same civil service that runs everything,,,

And so would have every other country with an interest in the outcome. 😂😂😂

Here we go...🙄

I was under the impression that evidence states rather than suggests.

Evidence suggest skynews actively trying to change public opinion on matters with the eu

😂😂😂😂😂😴😴😴😴😴😴

It's started, Europeans unable to vote, going back to the last Election when no one cared about it with 'evidence suggests'.. got this until Sunday now as everyone knows the Brexit Party is going to walk it.

Oh bore off sky

Tell me why we should believe a state controlled media outlet like yourself Sky News?..

Lots of people used social media to try and sway the elections only the losers complain.
