Don't forget there's another reason the Brexiteers hate the EU - it wants to cut off their global monylaundering schemes, which all begins with Cash-for-Passports independent.com.mt/articles/2019-…

And guess which huge Tory 'c^^t' is the frontman promoting this bent scam conservativehome.com/platform/2018/…

The Volyn Oblast (region - look at words on menu) is a zone where Russian oligarch Andrey Pannikov owns vast tracts of agricultural land, RESTAURANTS, local politicians (in Lutsk) and the Russian FSB is active. So Lord Ashcroft goes hundreds of miles out of his way to have lunch

And it was hundreds of miles out of his way as you can see from the map - he was visited the Russian frontline in Ukraine as research for his book - WTF - go to the opposite side of the country for lunch? 'Andrey Pannikov'

And what does Ashcrap do - spouts the Putin Line in the Express express.co.uk/comment/expres…

But Pannikov? Who is he? He co-sponsored Donald Trump's Miss Universe 2013 & his cash flows freely in Jim Mellon's direction (Arron Banks' partner in Conniston Bank)

A June 17 2018 story in The Sunday Times described another company run by Jim Mellon, Regent Pacific which invested in a deal in 2012 with Andrei Pannikov, a Russian expelled from Sweden in 1988 for trying to recruit westerners for espionage

Pannikov co-founded LukOil - which Chris Silico and Alexander Nix pitched a fake project for Cambridge Analytica (in Silico's Guardian whistelblower revelations) - to get the first post-Soviet oil export licence you were KGB independent.co.uk/news/business/…

Mellon had some problems in South Korea (he won't set foot in the country) but earlier than that (at about the time of Putin's rise to power in Russia too) - so how has Mellon becomes 'an acceptable businessman in Putin's Russia' becomes the question to ask yourselves

Andrei Pannikov - who was involved in a 2012 deal with Regent Pacific whose chairman Jim Mellon is business partners with Arron Bank - was the co-founder of Lukoil.

Here's info on deal Jim Mellon was involved in with Pannikov - London Stock Exchange data showing Bayfield Energy Holdings, to be renamed Trinity Exploration and Production - Pannikov 17.79% owner, Mellon's Regent Pacific Group Limited 3.73% owner londonstockexchange.com/exchange/price…

Jim Mellon's Regent Pacific and Andrey Pannikov were both listed as shareholders in Trinity Exploration and Production in the 2016 annual report, and neither are listed in the 2017 annual report trinityexploration.com//wp-content/up…

One additional item about Arron Banks' business partner Jim Mellon - Mellon was once called the "Bad Boy" of emerging markets

The Lukoil - Cambridge Analytica link theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/…

If Mellon called himself "The Bad Boy of Emerging Markets" and Banks & co use almost the same headline - what are the odds on that coincidence?

Here's another "coincidence" - Jim Mellon's fund with the most Russian connections (was called - now sold) Charlemagne Capital - why is the Steele Dossier referring to the plan/project to hack elections in western Europe as Project Charlemagne' - a really odd coincidence again

Remember the restaurant earlier in the thread? (nearest airport Rivne in the Volny Oblast) - here's Pannikov's plane flying there and back from his home in Cyprus - odd that it matches Lord Ashcrap's desire to have lunch isn't it?
