This chap was the leader of Reform, Nigel ‘Mr Brexit’ Farage’s party, in Wales and wasn’t careful enough to cover the source of his ‘encouragement’ to repeat pro-Russian talking points. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c891403eddet
That they tried to get a foothold here via this useful idiot is very worrying. He got off lightly with that prison sentence; treason used to carry the death penalty and taking foreign money to fluff another state while also claiming to represent the constituents who voted for you is easily read as treasonous. I’d like to think those constituents are a little more informed now but it wouldn’t be a surprise to see his replacement voted in at the next election.
Yes indeed.
Ah, ok. What’s the propaganda though? Are there people actually saying UK should be separate from the EU?
Many people, yes. Primarily politicians and businessmen looking to pilfer the UK.
Brexit and nationalism are also stoked online by Russia.
How does separating from the EU help business men pilfer the UK? Is it because they aren’t held responsible by EU standards anymore?
I wonder what’s up with Russia and it’s propaganda. I keep hearing this often, is it really that pervasive?
Deregulation and privatization, yeah. Less interference in the wealthy solidifying power and control over sectors.
Russian propaganda is probably the most advanced in the world at this point. they weaponized social media before anyone else.
