    Isn't this in the actual report that we're supposedly discussing even though none of us has read the whole thing?

      > Isn't this in the actual report Ok found the source referred in the report https://www.upguard.com/breaches/aggregate-iq-part-two-brexit https://www.upguard.com/breaches/aggregate-iq-part-two-brexi... I still don't see where it says "Cambridge was pivotal to brexit." It links it to something called "AggregateIQ" not Cambridge. Am i reading this wrong?
