The Pro-Putin Left

[LDC]

Actually, the discussion on the 'Solidarity with Ukraine' thread on the Barrows Supporters site is overall a lot better than here. No tank spotting weirdos , part-time military strategy bods, no calls to bomb Russia or start a nuclear war, no obsessive I won't rest until we find absolutely the right line on this conflict, and a distinct lack of megaphone type posters.

Solidarity with Ukraine - Barrow AFC.net

Did you actually read that forum? A quick look at that and plenty of the comments seem to be a mad as a box of frogs?

Fifth comment in something about the US deep state, and then a few later some wibble about the Viking, then couple more and Palestine makes a predictable entry.

He hasn't a high opinion of the quality of our debate

It didn't look too dissimilar to the urban Ukraine thread to me ha

They mentioned Hitler so Churchill must be on there somewhere

Doesn’t merit a yellow though

Does anyone know who's behind the Class Action group on FB? I've just looked on FB for the first time in ages and they popped up -- their stuff is a bit of a mishmash but there's some very dodgy stuff from them on Ukraine.

Also this mention of class went by without ten pages of greeting about 6th form politics

No idea Sue, although I have a sneaking suspicion of a possibility. Send a link or screenshot or something?

Groups liking their posts - Sunderland against Fascism, Football lads and lasses against Fascism, Sunderland unites- if that helps at all(as the group has only 575 followers i thought that might be indicative of who may be behind it)

Will do later when I've some time.

Thanks. Some of their stuff is standard sharing links from campaigns/other groups (like TU stuff, strike stuff, that kind of thing which is fair enough)but some of it is definitely dodgy.

Some of the lot that did the Essex Heckler (among other stuff, they used loads of names and papers) went down the Covid conspiracy rabbithole, and seem to have continued with Ukraine stuff as well.

Wasn't he a big Covid conspiracy freak as well?

 

[LDC]

FFS, Galloway and Workers Party Tweeting the 'unconfirmed news' that a US 3 star general has been captured leading Azov troops in Mariupol.

Absolute crack smoking fucking loons. (Apologies to crack smokers and loons tbh.)

Apparently so

 

[LDC]

Apparently so

Seems like loads of them are saying Ukraine is the next phase of the Great Reset plot after Covid, or is the back-up as Covid 'didn't work' or something. Absolute crackpots.

Is it too much of a conspiracy theory to believe in Russian troll factories churning out anti vaxx stuff for two years and now switching to pro Russia

Imho crack smoking is a behaviour which (whilst driven by social/economic inequality) does require personal responsibility to address and also makes people believe a lot of crap, so the metaphor feels appropriate.

Wasn’t keen on (kebabkinhgs?) comment about oxygen deprivation at birth on another thread, but there are worse things happening in the world.

In any case, the reason Galloway (and quite a few others) have spent so long honing their loonshpiel is likely less to do with a drug use and/or organic mental impairment, but because they know it’s effective at grooming those who are a bit (or a lot) vulnerable. Same reason Nigel does it.

Thanks for clarifying that, but plenty of us crisp eating easties watching normals still identify as left. I bet you do.

Not really sure what any of this means, but thanks

Looks like twitter have labelled Galloway 'Russian State-affiliated media."

 

[spitfire]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

400,000 followers?

Too slow lol.

What I like best about this is that when he first complained about it he was still advertising all the, uhh, Russian state affiliated media outlets he was working for

I’ll leave mine up as it’s a screengrab just in case Galloway deletes.

Intolerable..

Last in?



In my defence I think this is sufficiently funny that it's entirely worth being about the sixth person to post it.

Man's a cunt, obvs...

You're just trying to bump up your likes, aren't you a la LynnDoyleCooper?

But, you know, not Russian state-affiliated Media...
