Suspicious accounts being used to push pro-Reform UK content on TikTok | ITV News

1. Visit the UK sub to see it. The number of reformers defending Farages Putin comments was hilarious.

2. Not surprisingly, Putin uses Africa to advance his agenda.

   Russia and China are lending and building infrastructure in Africa, becoming new colonial powers.

3. I use tiktok quite a lot (for my sins) and a huge amount of comments under any vaguely UK political video have been pushing Reform. I’ve absolutely no doubt they’ve thrown a lot of money at bots, because it’s come from nowhere and totally goes against a lot of the demographics that would normally be watching and interacting with those videos.

4. Perhaps we need to be fighting fire with fire, there’s so much ammunition to show Reforms true colours from all the PR blunders they’ve had, from Nazi sympathies to anti-feminist agendas. Get a few hundred accounts constantly churning this stuff out and the Reform party will be crushed like the vermin they are 

5. It’s been on for months and most people have caught on they’re bots already, it’s absolutely a tactic by Reform to pump themselves up as this massive force to be reckoned with.

6. Every political video on tiktok the comments are full of ‘I’m voting reform’ etc. If you look at the polls it doesn’t add up lmao. There are definitely botting.

7. This is usually what people in echo chambers think. What’s really happening is the tactics of the left are not working anymore due to overuse. They were warned time and time again that when you do things like accuse somebody of being a Nazi because you disagree with them and it’s an easy way out of a debate, it loses power. The words racist, islamaphobe, transphobe etc have all lost their power due to thousands of constant allegations. These are normal people voicing their opinions, many on Reddit are so far removed from the average working class person that it seems crazy to them

8. Uncle Vlad emptying his troll farms on us again is he………what a surprise.

9. I would have said the same about the Republicans in America- but they are cheerfully supporting a Russian plant.

10. Yeah of course, ‘bots’ and not genuine British citizens wanting real political change 🙄

11. More than tiktok.

    They are all over comment sections on YouTube, news sites, etc.
