Well this is wild! Was looking up the Reform candidate for my constituency and found a website run by another Reform candidate where he’s listed. There’s also a helpful constituency map. Look at the place names towards the bottom. What do you see?

Everybody needs to see this except perhaps Reform voters in Stoke North who will help give Gullis the boot

Well at least he is upfront about his political affiliations! That's at least one advantage he has over the tories whose only positive attribute is the ability to lie constantly and fluently.

Have they not heard of Open Street Map? (Freely available). The fact that they are so disconnected from the modern world that the best map they can find is in Cyrillic speaks volumes. (Notwithstanding the concerning suggestion of Russian influence) They may in fact not yet know about “the internet”

ffs. Over and over the point gets made about what a long game they play. Europe is going, and the US. I just hope we're witnessing these little quisling fucktards because they're being kept where they're visible.

Fascinating. Just looked up ©OpenStreetMap... its Mem & Arts on Companies House show its jurisdiction is England and Wales > find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/0591...

Its DMs are open on the bird site.

Be nice to know how this Cyrillic popped up in the City of London.

Check again. I just had a look and it seems to be using "OpenStreetMap" and that is a Ukrainian flag at the bottom

I expect he has Russian friends - always so interested to visit English architectural landmarks - museums, concert halls, cathedrals.

The innocent explanation? Maybe they have somebody in the office, or maybe in the office they hired for some of this stuff, who is of Bulgarian or Serbian or Russian etc. descent, and that person took the screenshot of the map. Then there are the more realistic explanations..

Not a Reform fan, but they use leaflet.js to display the map, and that was built by a Ukrainian. (Click Leaflet for info.) Possibly that's the source of the Cyrillic...

Well noticed. Does it signify anything? Possibly not but it creates significant doubt in my mind as to Reform's organisational resource.

I see people rendering things phonetically when they are perfectly amenable to translation (“tauer”). A fun to parody custom in many Slavic languages.
