Appeasement from Reform…..no surprise there then.
Open mouth, change feet.
I don’t get how these candidates get past vetting. I know some will say that there is no vetting, or that these people are vetted properly, but I just don’t believe it.
Some Reform voters would be impressed that he even knows where Russia and Crimea are.
We need to check on this guy in a few months to see if he’s still a pulber or now living in a Russia-funded mansion.
Remember they are taking down the Ukraine flags because they don’t agree with other flags being flown – not due to their support of Russia
Reform have got to demonstrate value for Putin’s money no doubt
Churchill rolling in his grave that reprobates like this now represent the right
Sadly none of these articles matter because Reform voters have a remarkable ability to just brush off these types of issues.
They’re not exactly known for being smart, so this sort of shite is what I’d expect from a reform candidate
This is exactly what Reform voters like and admire.
Powerless people (i.e. ‘losers’) crave power. They are attracted to ‘strongmen’ leaders who flex power. They admire Putin for being a strong leader. They admire Trump for being a ‘big daddy’ who uses their power to get what they want.
By associating themselves with this powerful leaders, through votes and public admiration, they feel as if they are powerful, too. As in, if they feel they are friends with Trump or Putin, then Trump and Putin will look after them.
Reform voters don’t think much beyond ‘my daddy can beat up your daddy’.
A candidate from a party that was funded by Russian money to twerk for Russia, is twerking for Russia?
Why I never /s
I think some of the less headbanger RefUK voters are beginning to drift back to the Tories.
The sort of people for whom this sort of story really resonates.
Get these articles posted far and wide.
The Faragewave is not inevitable.
The big question is will reform voters actually listen, or are they simply tribalistic football-esque voters just voting for their team no matter what they hear?
I’d love this cunt to spend a day in Pokrovsk and see how russia tries to “liberate” land they think is theirs
can we stop trying to put facebook group conspiracy theorists into our government please, thank you x
Hard to keep a traitor quiet it seems.
Patriots don’t vote Reform PLC.
Slava Ukraini. We need to keep these pro-Putin types far away from Parliament.
So many people in this country have such weird standards. No wonder Britain is broken.
Again, it needs to be said to millions of people that Reform are pretending to be moderate, and there are other parties that are more farish-right or just far-right, and I think there’s a significant amount of pretending with their rivalries. I’m sure Restore supporters will–belatedly–agree with me that, yes, Tories and Reform ended up being quite the uniparty. So who is to say that Reform and Restore isn’t quite the uniparty either? Conservatives, Reform, Restore, UKIP…Advance, Reclaim…isn’t their Homeland as well?
Obviously the extensive training and experience he gained in his 2 years in the TA make him a voice be listened to in complex matters of international law.
Is thus the sane guy who said British women are basically slags and use abortion as a casual form of contraception?
Reform’s transparent support for Russia is embarrassing
Why are these ‘patriots’ always jumping on every opportunity to fellate Putin?
Would he have the same views if 99% of the world invaded the UK?
Starting to suspect this guy might be a tiny bit of a knob.
We had the Falklands since European discovery of the uninhabited island and the people of the Falklands are British and voted to stay British. It’s 300 miles from Argentina.
Crimea has a mix of peoples and also had forced migration of many Russians there to boost their excuse for stealing the place from Ukraine. It’s not the same so the whataboutism fails
What a sucker! Russia’s actions, if applied to Argentina, would be equivalent to the Argentine army invading the Falkland Islands and then forcing the locals to hold a referendum to join Argentina.
And people want to vote for these obnoxious idiots?
Reform are not beating the allegations of being Putin shills and quislings any time soon.
The idea reform is patriotic is tickles me. How obscene?
I truly don’t understand anyone that supports ReformUK….they must be absolutely blind or on drugs.
You have Reform backing Russia, you have Greens calling for reparations from the UK to Palestine, between the two is one party that doesn’t know what to do and another that wants to monitor on us 24/7, good thing we have the Lib Dems.
Reform are well known to be traitors to Britain in service of Putin.
That they actually claim to be patriots is laughable.
>In an online forum, Robert Kenyon agreed with a post that described the annexation of Crimea as “democracy in action”.
So, by Kenyon’s own logic, it is entirely appropriate for Muslims to come into our country and change our laws and turn us into a Sharia state. Seeing as the Russophiles in Chrimea and other parts neighbouring Russia are not ethnically Ukrainian, they were moved there from Russia after the Holodomir.
Makes you proud…I mean absolutely f@cking terrified that these people will be voted into power by the grey brigade because they think they are getting a version of England that didnt exist back in the day let alone bringing it back.
Farage and his crypto mates will ruin the country in ways never thought possible and it will be everyone else’s fault other than the people who fell for the lies
I’ve used the search function for this post and amazed that nobody mentioned the Kosovo region of Serbia.
Anti-vax, pro-russian, anti abortion, pro-life
Reform really knows how to pick em.
From the same bunch of muppets who brought us Brexit.
For all their flag shagging, how about they put Britain first for once rather than the interests of a bunch of billionaires and despots
Reform candidates displaying there education standards yet again. What a bell.
> Robert Kenyon compared Putin’s 2014 invasion to Britain’s action in Falklands
Okay. Surely the result of the comparison should have been that the two situations are not alike at all?
So a contrarian, unpleasant arsehole is selected for Reform. Quelle surprise
Reform are traitors to the UK.
Russia wants them to gain power in order to both weaken us and have another useful idiot to control. They have already done the USA, they want us next.
I am no Labour fan nor a Tory, but if you know anyone in your family who is voting reform, please stage an intervention.
Oh look. Another Russian fascist apologist, like we don’t have enough of them already.
He will fit right in with Farage and co.
These people wave our flag like it’s a mark of honour and then disrespect it by echoing the talking points of an aggressor who threatens us daily.
