Stevo985 Posted June 12 VT Supporter Share Posted June 12 I've got no issue with it being wrong to assault Farage. It is. And if someone assaults him then they should be punished for it. My issue is people being pissed off with things that aren't assault because it could have been assault 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xann Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 (edited) Hopefully a former expat will wake up in 13C Gt Yarmouth, read that it's 25C in Marbella, then go out and stick a brick through the traitor's skull. The lied to taking him down is best. Edited June 12 by Xann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted June 14 VT Supporter Share Posted June 14 Quote "Vote Reform UK", "Only Reform UK has a real plan for Britain" - an account on X has posted these and similar messages every couple of hours since the start of the election campaign. The account, GenZBloomer, is one of dozens across X, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok which the BBC has identified as posting hundreds of repeated messages in comment threads expressing support for Reform UK. Their behaviour has prompted claims from other social media users that they are fake - automated "bot" accounts - and they are distorting the online conversation to try to exaggerate the popularity of Reform UK. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1335nj316lo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get loads of anti-Tory stuff, and my friends group tends to be massively pro-Labour, but yeah, FB chucks a lot of Reform shite at me, tempting me to bite. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just unfollow them so I don't have to see their crap. In fact I preempted it with some people and unfollowed them some time ago. I have in the past gone down the route of trying to debate with them and realised I am wasting my time as they just come out with complete nonsense.

This observation is a combination of old friends and local “spotted” posts. Anything political seems to have people announcing in the comments that Reform are the answer. I have a large qty of old mates unfollowed following their relentless posts pushing for Brexit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted June 14 VT Supporter Share Posted June 14 I wonder how many of his new fans have seen that little clip of him voicing a pro IRA sentiment because someone gave him a few quid to do so. That should galvanise the Farage fever they’ve found themselves stricken with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
