This ITV doc about Reform is basically a feature length parade of pathetic white men being racist and/or misogynistic and expressing violent fantasies against Muslims and other minorities. The sheer number of examples was damning. It should destroy their support. It probably won't.

Saara Huhtasaari assessed that Ukraine could not win the war and that this should have been clear as early as 2022. She considered supporting the war foolish from the beginning and wrote that hundreds of billions had been spent on Ukraine while corruption and abuses in military procurements continued. According to her, the money had disappeared and politicians had become richer. Huhtasaari believed that Trump's diesel agreement would not change the outcome of the war, claiming that Ukraine would lose regardless. She blamed the West for maintaining a narrative for four years that victory would require only more weapons and time. In her opinion, this was a war of attrition, in which Russia was enduring better and Ukraine's personnel reserves were dwindling. #Ukraina #sota #historia (translated)
