"The Electoral Commission has asked the police to investigate what it suspects is criminal misconduct by Aaron Banks and the leave campaign. It appears the Commission believes Banks is not the true source of £8 million used to bankroll the campaign. The Commission says it has detected multiple offences that fall into the criminal jurisdiction of the police. Who do you think really put up the £8m? My money is on the Russians. And wouldn't it be wonderful if the introduction was found to be via Messr Trump? " Interestingly (expectedly) there is little coverage on this... | |||

" well if the Russians didn't do it lets blame President trump and if he didn't do it lets bounce back to blaming Russia...you guys never get tired of play that broken record " I'm not challenging the outcome, just wondering who was pulling the strings. Public officials discover evidence of criminal misconduct. I guess they could do a Jimmy Saville and turn a blind eye. Or perhaps not. Should the police officers doing the investigation be vetted to find out which way they voted first? | |||

This thread has got nothing to do with the vote, that's gone and accepted.. What's not accepted is the end position and we all have a right to both have a view and to express it without people as you have done saying they spit on them.. Vile thought.. The thread is about alleged criminal acts which may have effected the democracy you are talking about, are you OK with such things if proven? Because none of us should be.. | |||

"It's been referred to the National Crime Agency rather than, say, Avon and Somerset Constabulary, within whose jurisdiction Banks lives. That tells you the trail of evidence crosses boundaries and is international. How are our relations with Interpol? Not broken yet, I hope. " Wrong in terms of international evidence.....all police forces regularly obtain overseas evidence (use of Commission Rogatoire or letters of request). The referral is to the NCA due to the widespread nature of where the alleged offence(s) may have taken place (ie across the whole UK). The enquiry is likely ro be extensive and no single force would want to commit it's resources and Financial investigators to a drawn out process. If there are no charges brought because of a lack of evidence of any wrongdoing in the law, it is unlikely that we will hear any detail of what legitimate transactions may be uncovered, other than the presumption of innocence has been reinforced due to no indictment being lodged. | |||

There seems to be a consistent pattern developing on here and in general amongst those on the left of guilty until proven innocent. We have seen it several times already with the Stormy Daniels case, "Donald Trump must be guilty" they said. Then Donald Trump was proven innocent of the charges against him in a court of law. Then we saw it again with the Kavanaugh case, the loony left said he must be guilty. Then he was exonerated and given a seat on the US Supreme court. Now we're seeing it again today with Aaron Banks. It really is unfortunate that a few nut jobs in society can't accept the long held tradition in law of innocent until proven guilty. | |||

Oh, and if Brexit is a disaster, it will be because idiots in government have failed to discharge their duties properly, not because of "remoaners" | |||

" The #9m was legal. Potentially the #8m was not. Therein lies the difference. Even if it is shown to be illegal, it shouldnt make any difference to Brexit, but it would be enjoyable watching Banks get his come uppance. His arrogance when at the recent Select Committee was breathtaking. | |||

"Wouldn’t it be great if we could all work together and make Brexit work regardless of what our personal views are.

"Wouldn’t it be great if we could all work together and make Brexit work regardless of what our personal views are. Why is there so many people on here waiting to say “I told you so “, it’s like “ The Frog and Scorpion “ " The only hope there ever could have been for Brexit to be made to work for everyone was for the Govt to do two things: 1) Detach the Brexit process from mainstream politics and make the organisation of it a cross party responsibility. 2) Accept that the final destination be a reflection of the mandate indicated in the referendum. The divisions exist because of the way the Theresa May is pursuing solely her vision of Brexit which is not in line with her Cabinet, with The Conservative Party, with Parliament and with the country. The decision was taken Nationally, by supporters of all different political persuasions and so the implemention should be made by political representatives of all parties. At least in this way the final compromise may be enough to carry as close as possible to 100% of the country. | |||

France never wanted us to join in the first place, and blackballed us a couple of times when we attempted to join first time around. If you think they'd just let us back in with open arms after Brexit you're deluded. #Franceblackballedukagain #Nogoingback | |||

"It's still happening though and is now irreversible. #getoverit The only thing that's irreversible is us staying in. Even if we leave we'll only join again later. #OldBrexitVotersDying #GetOverItYourSelf You're wrong to assume the EU would ever let us rejoin. France never wanted us to join in the first place, and blackballed us a couple of times when we attempted to join first time around. If you think they'd just let us back in with open arms after Brexit you're deluded. #Franceblackballedukagain #Nogoingback " But we did join didn't we. #NoHopeForBrexit #CompleteWasteOfTimeAndMoney | |||

"Wouldn’t it be great if we could all work together and make Brexit work regardless of what our personal views are. Why is there so many people on here waiting to say “I told you so “, it’s like “ The Frog and Scorpion “ " It's the conservative party that has created the problem. I assume that most people on here want the best for the country, whichever way they voted, which of course may not tally with their current view and the final deal offer details will influence everyone in take a decision on what will then be the right thing to do. Confusing strong opinion with the equivalent of a kamikaze death wish for the country, to prove a point, is mistaking people here, Imo. | |||

"it's looking more and more like banks has been rinsing cash from nefarious means through the political system itself ... it could even end up closing the door of international money movement that the milk snatcher opened in the early 80's " The fact that SCL, and Cambridge Analytica have been brought up in this too shows just how far the tentacles reach.

"Remember there were two "leave" organisations. There was the main or official one, and then the one Banks was behind." So are you suggesting that because Banks, Farage and Co were not the official Leave group - they were ignored and everything they did, said and published was irrelevant? The cumulative effect of the lies and misinformation spread by the Leave “side” was enough to win a slender victory. This includes the now alleged illegal shenanigans by Banks, Johnson’s Big Red Bus and the dismissing of “experts” by Gove - to name just a few. | |||

"Indeed. Banks tweeted: “So what?” So we have the cheerleader for the rule of British law in Britain deciding it’s only for little people, not big-time s like him. Hubris. In Parliament, the Electoral Commission was quizzed about the £8m. They traced it to the Isle of Man, which made the expenditure illegal. Asked if they thought the original source was Russia, the EC said it did not have the powers to deduce that, hence it had passed to the National Crime Agency. " Banks and his sidekicks are revolting creatures.....their performance at the select committee earlier in the year was evidence enough of the contempt that they have for democratic process, the rule of law and common courtesy. They say prode comes before a fall: we can only hope that comes true with shower of shysters | |||

True, but as Banks is now claiming that his insurance company does £100's of millions worth of insurance business every year in UK proper, employs thousands and it is from the profits of that company (that according to Banks when giving evidence to Parliament and doing tax returns does no business and is nothing but a shell company) there have to be tax, VAT, NI and insurance accounting fraud cases going back years. I wonder if the tax and VAT man are going to quite so lenient? Or is Banks counting on being able to buy his way out of jail with donations to the Tory party and the likes of BoJo and the Maybot. | |||

"Aaron Banks company and Leave.EU fined £135,000 for illegal use of personal data. Information Commissioner Office. A drop in the ocean and probably in his, and others eyes a price worth paying for the end result." In the hearing this morning the ICO commissioner repeatedly stated that they had fined the maximum they have been able to and that they had to fine under the rules they had at the time, and not the stronger GDPR rules they have now. Also with regards to Facebook she repeatedly pointed out that a power they now have is not just to fine, but to be able to demand the company stop processing information. Which as you can imagine would likely be a far bigger impact on Facebook or someone like Eldron Insurance. -Matt | |||

" A lot of his business is registered offshore (IoM, Gib etc) " Yep, but as I understand it if you use offshore holding companies to hide things like a UK based workforce and its work product then that is fraudulent accounting. And Banks is now claiming that a company that has zero or next to zero accounted work product is actually the employer of thousands of staff generating 100's of millions of annual turnover. That seems to me to be thousands of counts of accounting fraud annually, and if I can work this out in a matter of hours I expect the forensic accountants are already tracking down each fraud and drawing up the charge sheet. Unfortunately there is 1 fly in the ointment that I know of: Whereas the Serious Fraud Office had a statuary independence and could investigate and prosecute any fraud it became aware of the NCA is under the direct command of the Home Secretary who has the power to order the NCA to stop any investigation that the government does not wish to continue. Now who here can see this government allowing this investigation to continue if, as it seems likely, it further undermines brexit? Personally I think that this is going to be kicked into the long grass, quietly dropped and Banks will show his gratitude come the next GE in the form of electoral campaign contributions. | |||

Personally I think that this is going to be kicked into the long grass, quietly dropped and Banks will show his gratitude come the next GE in the form of electoral campaign contributions. the torys will also be looking for a scapegoat to take the shit for what a failure brexcrement has become under the present government" "All that glitters isn't gold" Banks' insurance company is relatively "small fry" in insurance terms employing hundreds rather than thousands - less than 400! The figures Banks quoted were premiums (turnover) so whilst it is a significant figure its not the whole picture. He insures vehicles mainly and therefore there are claims. This has a significant factor on profit. A good vehicle insurance book "burns" @ 80% on average - (burn is tech jargon - ratio of claims to premiums ). It has been known for some books to burn at 200% - if there has been a major claim (multiple crash on motorway involving death and serious disability ). It takes 5 yrs for a major incident to pass before it affects the burn rate. In rare cases it could burn at 60%. So taking his £250m and the insurance average means he has £50m left to pay staff, tax, NI, rents, rates, pensions etc etc so how much is left? Bearing in mind the regulator in 2014 had concerns about Southern Rock being able to meet it's claims begs lots of questions. He showed a £34m trading loss so where has he got the £8m from? There's a lot more to come out on this! | |||

"It's still happening though and is now irreversible. #getoverit True, and best not to mention the £9 million quid of taxpayers money that Cameron gave to the remain campaign, which was not equally afforded to the Leave campaign. The #9m was legal. Potentially the #8m was not. Therein lies the difference. Even if it is shown to be illegal, it shouldnt make any difference to Brexit, but it would be enjoyable watching Banks get his come uppance. His arrogance when at the recent Select Committee was breathtaking. " Call the £9 million of taxpayers money Cameron gave to remain legal if you like, it DOESN'T make it fair! It was a blatant attempt by Cameron and Osborne to stack the deck in Remains favour, was deeply unfair and was underhanded and not to mention an appalling waste of taxpayers money. It was also not the kind of behaviour we expect from a democratically elected UK Prime minister, Cameron's behaviour in this matter was more akin to how a tin pot dictator like Robert Mugabe would've behaved in Zimbabwe. | |||

"All just part of the ongoing shambles made in the Conservative Party. The referendum never was about the interests of the country, only those of the Conservative Party and how Cameron could stay in power. It must be the first time in history that a political party (UKIP) got its manifesto implemented without winning a seat, never mind an election. " Ukip did win an election though. Ukip won the European MEP elections in the UK in 2014. | |||

" "Call the £9m...." IT WAS , IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE LEGAL - FACT! It was allowed in the rules get over it! As far as fair is concerned - welcome to the club - the fact that leave cheated to win isn't FAIR - now you know how 16.4m feel! | |||

For which they have actually be fined for. -Matt | |||
