I can sincerely confirm they were nearly all born and bred UK fascists, apart from perhaps a few that were made up in Russia.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A series of candidates listed on the Nigel Farage-led party’s election website only show their name and the constituency they stood in, without any information about them, or contact details beyond a generic regional email address.
The Guardian has also learned that one Reform candidate suspected of being fake, in part because his official election photo looked AI-generated, is a real person.
The suspicions about Mark Matlock, who won 1,758 votes in Clapham and Brixton Hill in south London, were compounded when he did not show for the election count, with sceptics also pointing to an apparent lack of any photographs of him campaigning.
Matlock, who lives in the Cotswolds, said he did undertake a leaflet drop, adding that he understood the rush to get candidates in place: “The election caught us all on the hop and Rishi Sunak knew that.
Yusuf, a Muslim businessman who spoke at a recent Reform rally, is the founder of a luxury concierge company called Velocity Black, and gave Nigel Farage’s party £200,000.
Other donors to Reform include £125,000 from Jeremy Hosking, a businessman who recently backed Laurence Fox’s Reclaim party and the anti-vax former Tory MP Andrew Bridgen.
The original article contains 723 words, the summary contains 195 words. Saved 73%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
He looks like an AI prompt for “douchebag billionaire”.
Looks AI-generated with the prompt “the love child of Elon Musk and Donald Trump”.
It really looks like a combination of those two twats.
lol hold on, did one of their bot candidates accidentally win or something…?
No but when people can’t vote directly for Farage, they vote for their local Reform candidate.
It looks like Reform has just been self-nominating candidates that didn’t even do any campaigning and may or may not even exist, so that gullible people could vote for their local candidate, and gain a higher percentage of seats for Reform, even if not the outright winner
What does it mean to be a “real person?” Was Shakespeare a real person? His works have had a real effect on the world, does that make him real?
