Reform Makerfield candidate: Russia ‘within their rights’ to take Crimea – Robert Kenyon compared Putin’s 2014 invasion to Britain’s action in Falklands

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

Sadly none of these articles matter because Reform voters have a remarkable ability to just brush off these types of issues.

That’s the problem with the hard right. They’re right about migration but otherwise mainly useless.

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?

He wants to act like we’re back in the 80s and 90s? We still used to hang people back then.

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.

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.

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?

Why is the West so outraged that Russia take Ukrainian land, Russia gets sanctioned, banned from international events etc.
But the small country in the middle east are attacking their neighbours, seizing land, occupying parts of other countries etc. and they are not met with the same response by Nato and the EU?

Appeasement from Reform…..no surprise there then.
Open mouth, change feet.
