Arch remainer Sir Nick Clegg in an interview with the BBC said "there is absolutely no evidence" that Russia influenced the Brexit vote using Facebook and that Cambridge Analytica did not influence people's decision in the Eu Referendum!

Will remainers finally accept that these conspiracy theories were nonsense now they have heard it from one of their own!?

Think using the phrase one of their own based on how he voted is stretching it..

He has far more in common with the multi millionaires on both sides who will be sorted however it turns out than the vast majority of those who voted to remain..

Would also say that a guy employed by Google is hardly going to be saying he would like to see an independent assessment of the issue..

I heard Nick Clegg say they found "no significant" evidence of Russian interference.

So I guess people could argue the point of subjective matter of what is classed as "significant"

Are you trying to say he wasn't an ardent remainer or is it an attempt to divert from what he said in the interview!?

Oh and before I get accused.... I've never said I think there was Russian interference

"significant attempt"

I believe that was Cleggs words...

No significant, but that does allow for there to be attempts, just not enough for Facebook to admit was in their own view "significant"

Would I expect Facebook to admit it if there was significant evidence, no chance if they could keep a lid on it.

He wasn't just an ordinary voter though was he, he led the Liberal Democrats the party most against Brexit.

As regards of the fees, politicians change their minds all the time, haven't you said it's ok for Labour to change their position on Brexit?

I haven't said its 'ok' no, tbh if they do change their position they may need to explain what that position is in the first instance..

What is it by your understanding..?

Well they went to the last election as a leave party and now the deputy says they are a remain party but no one really knows what they are!

Okay.

Ha, do you mean the same Nick Clegg who is now Facebook's Vice President of Global Affairs and Communications?

Perhaps worth considering and potential conflicts of interest there?

Would you bite the hand that feeds you, he’s a lobbyist now.

I’ll be straight with you, social media may be a convenient way to be heard. But your data, the person who you are is not yours, and it never will be. You’re just a way of generating profit, a series of databases which feed into algorithms which decide what your hopes, fears, needs and wants are, all to drive digital capitalism.

You were promised freedom, you’ve just substituted one master for another.

What you do now is entirely upto you.

Isn't it funny how, even after someone who was a clear remainer comes out and basically says that there was no foul play, a number of remainers continue to try and ignore the facts presented to them - oh, well, he would say that, he's a spin doctor for Facebook, et etc blah blah blah.

It seems that some people simply do not understand democracy.

Equally some don't understand or choose to ignore the basic role of a spin doctor, highly paid at that..

Are you saying the Russians did not interfere in any way in the brexit referendum?

He isn't speaking as Nick Clegg, the politician. He is speaking as Nick Clegg, the Facebook mouthpiece.

I imagine he would be sacked if he offered a view of Brexit, because Facebook does not have one and to do so will lose them up to half their UK market.

By hiring Clegg who was a Remain campaigner Facebook now have someone with very high remain credentials on the payroll to disperse any potential wrong doing claims on their social media platform during the referendum.

To me, it now makes perfect business sense why Facebook hired Nick Clegg.

No you're arguing 2 totally different points here.

1: Business that benefits from being in the EU is nothing untoward is it and is there evidence that Clegg was paid by businesses wanting to stay trading within the EU for Clegg to have a Remain stance because of being paid?

2: Facebook allegations of foreign influence is a whole different ballgame and having Clegg say there wasn't evidence of significant Russian interference through Facebook while he's been paid a fortune by Facebook doesn't really clear anything up or really look credible.

Wait, are you saying you think remainers don't realise the heads of businesses may be pro eu because of their business? That's exactly why we are listening to them.

The ones you have to worry about are those who may a financial agenda but are presenting non economic reason...

Assuming all people who once took a decision to vote in a specific way on an historic referendum would have done so for the same reason, as well as all agree with each other on everything is facile.

There was no spin, I just quoted what he said!You just don't like what he said because it doesn't fit in with your version of events, shall we take it from now that all employees cannot be trusted to tell the truth because they are paid and therefore have a conflict of interest or is it only the one's you disagree with!?

"Arch remainer Sir Nick Clegg in an interview with the BBC said "there is absolutely no evidence" that Russia influenced the Brexit vote using Facebook and that Cambridge Analytica did not influence people's decision in the Eu Referendum!

Will remainers finally accept that these conspiracy theories were nonsense now they have heard it from one of their own!?

Do you honestly see Nick Clegg in his new high flying role in Facebook as being neutral / unbiased regarding the potential use of Facebook by foreign influences?

Are you saying Nick Clegg has lost his integrity because he now has a high paid job with Facebook!?

I'll answer your question if you answer mine that I asked....

Well I would like to say he would be neutral especially on something he felt so strongly about but it may not be the case!It just highlights the fact that can anyone be considered neutral when they are being paid by businesses that have a vested interest in staying in the EU?

Was Nick Clegg paid by businesses while he was an MP that had vested interests in staying in the EU? "

No idea! I was talking in general not specifics.

Well if he had been then you'd definitely have a point.
