    1. Man who benefits from Russian misinformation opposes measures to curtail Russian misinformation. More at 11.

      Nigel Farage’s “not involved in being a Kremlin stooge” shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by his t-shirt.

    3. He was always speaking on RT, a known misinformation channel that was directly sponsored by the Russian government.

    4. Jesus tap-dancing Christ

      How is it possible this man is still eligible?

      What does MI6 even do if they can’t determine this dude is a foreign asset

      Homeboy should be in jail for fucks sake

      Of course Moscow’s little Stukach would be against anything that would interfere with his mission for the Kremlin. 

    6. You know, I came onto this to, well, not to defend him, but to point out that of course he’d be against it, it’s a new government department and we all know what Reform feel about the Civil Service and the government doing anything.

      …and then I read the article. It’s literally just the fact that he thinks it’d be targeted directly at his party. Which I suppose it would be.

      Sheesh. He has just stopped trying, really – saying the quiet part out loud. I have thought for some time he feels the grift is up.

    7. Misread the headline and thought there was some new Russian misinformation organization began operating in the UK and thought it was strange he’d oppose misinformation as he’s a Russian asset, then it dawned on me. YIKES.

    8. This is actually a pretty clever move from Burnham’s gov. Everyone is saying they should be more outspoken about the Blackshirts and balaclavas but they’re staying pretty muted on getting into direct shouting matches about these emotionally charged singular events and actually tackling the root of the problem, and putting Farage in the position of having to defend his paymasters in the process.

    9. Friggin seriously???
      I mean really.
      “Um nope I don’t think an explicitly anti Russia group would be a good idea guys, why ? Like just reasons man, I got my reasons”
      But in an English accent

    10. So an ex – presenter on RT (Russia Today), head of a party whose Welsh leader was jailed for taking Russian bribes, doesn’t think it a good idea to investigate Russian involvement in UK politics?

      I’m shocked!

    11. The fucking irony in this hahahaha

      This dude was one of the figure heads in the Brexit campaign where millions were misled. One of the biggest political embarrassments in modern history, for no purpose other than, presumably, chaos.

    12. GloomWorldOrder on

      Found one. Who would’ve thunk that one of the people behind Brexit and the distrust of the EU is a Russian stooge?

    13. Europe needs new strategy for russian agents like him.

      If russian agent gets to power, EU should cut ALL trade with such country. Until they fix their mess and elect non-russian agent.

    14. Claiming that a unit set up to combat foreign misinformation is “targeted directly at his party” is quite the admission.

    15. The Russian nexus with European rightwing parties like AfD and Reform needs to be studied in detail

    16. Oh course he does. He’s a bought-and-paid-for Russian mouthpiece. Fucking traitor took Russian money to bring us Brexit. Treat him as such.
