That has been their tactics for a while now, it’s dirty but that’s the game they play and enjoy for decades.

It’s Like a long con. And slowly slowly they’d ask these foreign agents to do more and more every time.

>Gregory Davis, a senior researcher at Hope Not Hate, said: “We are concerned, given reporting of prior Russian attempts to recruit groups of people in the UK willing to carry out criminal acts here, that this network is designed to recruit people to carry out acts of violence, and that they may already be in the process of grooming people for it.

>“We believe that the people running the network are using a variety of means to make direct contact with far-right British activists on the platform, and are likely to be privately encouraging them to carry out an act of terror.”

It speaks volumes that the self-professed “patriots” of the far-right are being recruited by a hostile foreign country to commit acts of terrorism on UK soil. Putin must have been rubbing his hands with glee during the Farage riots last summer.

>The same groups have also been sharing PDFs containing bomb-making recipes and designs for 3D-printed weapons. Posters with QR codes for the groups and associated TikTok accounts have also appeared on British streets.

Truly terrifying stuff.
