    I’m more annoyed at how many Brits seem unaffected by Robinson’s brand of mob violence right up until they think a Russian might be involved. It’s nativism coming and nativism going. Nobody seems to want to grapple with the problem of local white Britons being absolutely out of pocket.

      Zack Polanski does, and he’s the only one doing it credibly. Check out his Bold Politics podcast if you’re interested.

      Do you have any examples of people actually like this? Or are you making up a person to be mad at.

      Most of the people I’ve seen who critise Robinson also critise Lucy Connolly, who has (AFIK) no links to either Russia or Israel like Robinson.

      Really?

      Cause I think we have a track record in the UK of not caring, regardless of evidence of foreign backing. The proof of the extent that Farage’s various poor excuses for a piss up party had Trumpist as well as Russian backing was huge, but never seemed to get in their way.
