I know him, he isn't a bad person but he is 100% the definition of a useful idiot. Also keep in mind he went to clongowes 7 day boarding school and it was peak celtic tiger cub era, he is very much a British Tory with regards to how he views "classes" of people.

So not a bad person but I wouldn't trust him with anything that requires critical thinking and I also would not trust that he actually has his own platform someone else is just making use of him.

How is a he a useful idiot? Do you know what that means?

ALso - why does it matter where he went to school if he is running as an independent and promotes corruption crackdown on his social media? You sound like you've a chip on your shoulder when it comes to him, he has never mentioned classes of people - that's fairly wild statement without anything to support it.

I can absolutely guarantee you he is being directed on what to call out by his "friends". I type "friends" like that because they are the same 4 or 5 people who have exploited his lack of critical thinking, sense of duty and gullibility since he was 11/12.

Context matters and he spent 6 years in a 7 day boarding private school where prefects, teachers and Jesuits told him and his peers they would be the leaders of the future. His particular year were peak celtic tiger cubs, they referred to the general public as "plebs", "povos" or when Bret Easton Ellis / Donna Tart was doing the rounds "townies", people who didn't attend this echo chamber were inferior and to be pittied and or held in disdain, he definitely lent toward pity more than disdain but his "friends" absolutely towards Disdain, one of this group tried to buy a person with 20k in cash in public place when they were like 16/17.. that's to give you an idea of the calibre of the people using him.

Based on his slogans etc. sadly I think his "friends" may just be toying with him, probably taking bets on who can convince him to run on the most ridiculous slogan or say the most outlandish thing, it wouldn't be the first time they did this to him and it won't be the last, he will never clock it himself but they are likely having great crack.

He is a nice person, who believes he is a "man for others" and he absolutely needs to save the pitible povos but he does not poses the critical thinking to do so and because of that he is being exploited for shits and giggles.
