Useful idiot

Because fighting for your country and your life against the armed forces of a fascist1 dictatorship, who are actively and intentionally murdering civilians in large numbers is just the same as turning up to a referendum to vote, apparently.
Because the EU is exactly like Putin's fascist regime, and making that equivalence is not at all offensive.
Because the British people who voted to remain in the EU are, of course, fifth-columnists, traitors in fact, people who earn their money here, but live over there. Live, not in the geographical sense, but in the sense of their thoughts, their slavish thinking. Enemies of the people, in fact.
Because the inconvenient truth that the lies and disinformation on which the referendum was decided were spread by Putin's stooges, especially Boris Johnson, why that's not important. And of course Johnson has never received money or favours from Russian oligarchs: of course he has not.
Boris Johnson: Putin's useful idiot.

This is not hyperbole: Putin is a fascist. 'Any people, and especially the Russian people, will always be able to distinguish the true patriots from the scum and the traitors, and just to spit them out like a midge that accidentally flew into their mouths' – Putin, 16th March 2022 ↩
