If you support Reform, Restore, Greens and similar far right/left parties

[Yellownotblue]

How do you feel about the fact that your support is being whipped up by Russia, in concerted attacks, for the specific purpose of sowing division and political instability in Britain? Is this giving you any pause for thought? Do you think you will go back to supporting traditional parties?

Do you think the party you support has a strong platform to defend the country against clear and present danger from very powerful nations which are taking active measures to harm us? Or put another way, are you prepared to entertain the very real possibility that the party you support is propped up by foreign influence and money that are actually using you as pawns in a political game that will destroy all of us, including yourself?

No it's far more smug to be condescending.

Well, whatever you believe did or didn't happen in G&D, even if family voting happens in Makerfield, it won't sway the vote. So one less excuse for Farage to fall back on if Reform loses.

Still waiting on that link if you don't mind

Yes, a report as in ‘he reported’. My grammar isn’t quite on point this morning as I am getting ready for work.

It is on his Facebook page. I am not prepared to link to Facebook on a forum like this.

In that case I'll just assume it's made up bullshit then

Could you tell us how you feel about the Fabians and Labour Together, OP?

Do you mean this? It all seems a storm in a tea cup as SERCO has clarified the claims are untrue.

But, if the story is true, the Russians need poor foreigners here to give money to in exchange for posting anti Islam messages on Mosques

If Burnham wins, it's more of the same of Starmer. I'm used to the rot after two years. Shame the economy will suffer even more for it though.

I'm sure they can find British Islamophobes to do their dirty work too

Oh, swift change of tack there😁.

So, Zia Yusuf made an unfounded claim on Facebook and you are presenting this disinformation on MN firstly as "a report" and subsequently as a "statement of intent"?

Are you deliberately trying to spread disinformation or are you simply incapable of critically analysing and evaluating the nonsense that you see on social media?

I haven't changed tack at all. I made a different point.

Absolutely. Three of the most economically damaging policies of the last 50 years (right to buy, privatisation of our utilities, and Brexit) have all been Tory / right-wing policies.

That's the whole point - they couldn't.

They had to recruit recent arrivals who literally didn't know what they were doing and pay them. The Ukrainian who set fire to Starmer's car was a rent boy who'd never heard of Keir Starmer.

Outrageous!

FAR and away the most economically damaging policies of the last 50 years have been unsustainably high taxation (and often to pay for economically illiterate things like Net Zero).

Both parties were and are to blame for this.

Cornish has accused MN posters of "enforcing messages" put out by a "briefing unit".

Ironic, really.

Oh dear.

Looks like it's your turn today @CornishDaughteroftheDawn

I hope that you have started your Russian lessons ready for when they invade because without any reliable defence forces, it won’t take much.

The unsustainably high taxation has also come from RWP, as they continually lower the higher rates and recover the losses through stealth taxes that disproportionately affected the working and middle classes.

And 'economically illiterate things like net zero, has created over 1.1 million jobs, generating £105 billion in GVA, pays an average wage roughly 11% higher than the national average, and has an investment pipeline of right half a trillion waiting to go.

Defence is a peripheral need don't you know. It's not like we've actually got to be alive to enjoy generous benefits.

Russia has been so successful in this active measure. Tommy Robinson was over there last week saying it's a civilised country and not our enemy. He's reposting Russian propaganda, and the Russian state is reposting his reposts!

Meanwhile Russia are conducting hybrid war against our shore constantly.

Former Welsh leader of Reform UK, Nathan Gill, was convicted of taking bribes to give pro-Russian speeches. Nigel Farage takes a pro-Russian stance on the Ukraine war, and has been paid to speak on Russian state media. Russia is baked into Reform UK.

I was hoping someone might mention the former KGB officer.

22 Jan 2009
Lord Mandelson has 'no plans' for inquiry into Evening Standard sale.

Mandelson has no intention to intervene despite Tory MP's call for inquiry into sale of London title to former KGB officer,

The Russian oligarch's past has raised questions about whether he is fit to run a national newspaper. Ottoway first raised the matter with Andy Burnham, the culture secretary, during a debate on Monday. Extract from Hansard here;

Richard Ottaway
The Secretary of State will be aware that the Evening Standard is at the centre of London’s local news media industry. Under the circumstances, might it not be appropriate to conduct an inquiry into whether a former KGB member is a fit and proper person to own that newspaper?

Andy Burnham
The Evening Standard is indeed a well-loved part of London life—a view held on both sides of the House, I hasten to add—and, whatever changes are in the offing, it should maintain its character and journalistic standards on all counts. I am sure that, like me, the hon. Gentleman will accept that what matters is not an individual’s nationality but the plans that they have to uphold those standards and that character...
