Reform UK Salisbury candidate says Putin ‘seemed very good’

1. why do these guys love Putin so much? i honestly don’t get it. Putin’s government literally talks about nuking us

2. Can we stop posting these sorts of things in her? If every stupid thing a reform candidate says is posted onto here it’s going to be a fucking inundation.

3. The heck man…

   “We support every possible effort to reach a compromise and a settlement over the issues in Ukraine.”

   Does he live under a rock?

   He makes reference to Putin not being Hitler, and then suggests appeasement…

4. At this point, I’ll be more shocked to learn that a Reform candidate is a nice person with moderate views.

5. Stop the cap y’all. The radical leftards in America have already tried this with Trump. It didn’t work there either

6. Democracy at work.

   Seriously these guys should legally be barred from standing. This isn’t a case of not liking someone else’s politics. These are people who have sided with a country that has attacked and threatened to nuke us, that are committing horrific war crimes and invading a country we consider and ally

7. Acknowledging that thousands of young Ukrainian and Russian men were dying as he spoke, Mr Malins added: “We support diplomacy. We support every possible effort to reach a compromise and a settlement over the issues in Ukraine.

   “That is what the adults in the room do. Stop the killing and negotiate a proper settlement.”

   The 74-year-old continued: “War is not about as it were punishing or in some way running over thousands of young men in tanks and blowing them up because one person takes points of view which you disagree with.

   “I have actually met Putin and had a 10-minute chat with him and he seemed very good. He is not the Austrian gentleman with a moustache come alive again.”

8. Russian assets everywhere in our government and media. Can they just settle for having the biggest territory on Earth?

9. Didn’t Putin order an assassination in Salisbury not too long ago?

10. Lots of old white stupid people at that meeting, deluded at the UK’s place in the modern world.

11. Considering the UK is an outspoken ally to Ukraine’s sovereignty, isn’t this tantamount to treason?

    That aside, fuck this little loser. BNP,UKIP,Brexit Party, ReformUK are just taking Russian money to be a mouthpiece.

12. He must think the people of Salisbury have short memories after Putin’s thugs used a chemical weapon there.

13. Didn’t the Russian government enact chemical warfare upon the people of Salisbury just a decade or so ago? You’d think people would remember an assassination using state-of-the-art neurotoxins in a public place happening in their home town…

14. You’d think they’d make it a little less obvious that they are Russian assets.

15. What the actual living fuck.

    Putin ordered nerve agent deployed in Salisbury. It killed an innocent woman, left a policeman with life altering injuries and could have been much, much worse.

    He is speaking directly to people who could have been killed. Whose families were in danger.

    And he has the gall. The brass balls. To claim that Putin is a ‘good guy’ .

    Indeed he’s spoken directly with Putin, he claims. I won’t make the suggestion that he’s a Russian asset, spouting Putin apologetics, getting paid. I don’t think Putin even knows who he is.

    He’s a useful, very stupid idiot, lacking in shame, decency and common sense. He has all my contempt.
