Here's an account calling itself "God Save Great Britain" ranting about Christmas being under threat. Unsurprisingly it is a Putin tool parroting Russian hate propaganda against Ukraine.
There are thousands of such Russian propaganda accounts posing as patriots, while serving in Putin's hybrid war.

Hitler said he would make Germany great again. He left it invaded, in ruins, and with millions dead. Mussolini promised to restore the glory of the Roman empire.
Never trust politicians who promise to make your country great again.
