Not just academics, shills and charlatans too
Farage, Banks, Galloway, Milne, there's a whole bunch of them on the left and the right that don't even have the right to be called academics or intellectuals. Putin Shills the lot of them and all the people directly connected with them that enabled them. Tory donors doesn't even scratch the surface of the problem. Farage is still being given a platform by (K)GB News, Galloway is still spouting absolute nonsense, Seumas Milne does at least seem to have disappeared up his own arse but they are still out there
