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.
why doesn’t anyone get on TV and tell the ppl this? why is there no concerted pushback against the propaganda?
Is the propaganda about this still there? Or just not a topic anymore in general?
it’s still around, tho not as heightened since the damage is done.
the ppl need to be de-programmed tho, so showcasing to everyone how it failed, who it benefits, would be wise imo.
Are you saying they should have stayed with EU?
Genuine question, asking to understand.
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.

Who are you going to tell it to, the people who were already stupid enough to yeet themselves out of the EU ?
yes. no matter what, somehow the gov needs to deliver the populace from a propaganda assault.
Excellent, keep going. Almost there!
this just isn’t a helpful comment.
even if you’re implying conspiracy, surely not EVERYONE would be on board, yet still, nothing.
The people who own the TV content are pushing the propaganda. That’s why.
I don’t doubt that, but at the same time it’s hard for me to accept that every avenue to reach the populace has been so completely co-opted in the UK.
There’s the social media angle, which theoretically would be individuals creating content not owned by billionaires.
That’s where Cambridge Analytica comes in to close the gap. If there’s another avenue (besides local face-to-face meetings) we’d love to hear it.
Nah ,stupid people do stupid things ,cant chance that
i don’t think doing nothing has worked out very well XD
