I cannot believe my government is still selling arms to Israel. That we are ⌚ civilians being bombed starved and blamed for their deaths.
Silence is complicity.
Doppleganger is a massive attack by the kremlin on europes democracy. Massive troll farms grooming of candidates. Massive funding and cyberattacks. Intended to turn Europeans away from supporting ukraine and europe. Farage launched his doppleganger Flooding you tube with a kremlin like careful and pointed attack clearly with Farages usual outrageous trappings of outrageous lies and figures about immigration in the north east and the usual fear mongering of immigrants taking jobs. But what was chillingly and obviously kremlin like was the umnmistakable attack on ukranian women and children refugees. Effect on economic woes and the fault of the eu. Which instead of blaming himself and brexit he turns on its head and blames brussells. For ukranian women and refugees and their children Other doppleganger attacks on social media have been surfacing on siocial media by not reliable kremlin experts like bill Browder but by shifty subtle nuances of anti ukranian support. All of this is intended of course to drive a wedge beween. North east and Europe. Where farage needs to pick up labour votes. And where I can tell you as a retired teacher pro ukranian support and protection of refugees has always been strong. We need an Romanian and polish and ukranian counter attack to expose Farages lies and disgusting. Pro kremlin sentiments infecting. The young impressionable and those who. Fall for his fake nationalism and lies. Somebody has to take on us social media and tick tack blocking people out of platforms for pro European pro. Ukranian sentiment. For too long the guardian have. Whitewashed Putin as being. Not hitler and demonised. Brussells as over reacting. Feeding into Farages and the kremlins terrorist narrative.
