I'm curious what political agenda they are promoting.

And by 'curious' I mean: quite convinced that the knobhead that pushed Brexit and is now fueling right wing hatred is getting a leg up from his buddy in the Kremlin

From what I've heard a lot of the time they don't even necessarily believe any of it. It's just grifting for money.

Some random man in Bangladesh or something.

Other times it could be genuine far-right agitators trying to get Reform or other parties elected.

Divisiveness. They're aiming to destabilise.
