Corporal Bradley Clyde is a manly character in a historical novel called The Blood Waltz by Rob Kenyon, who is standing for election in Makerfield on June 18th. The novel features a soldier who battles Nazis and has a penchant for blonde women. However, the book's writing style and language use have raised concerns, particularly given Kenyon's affiliation with Reform UK, a party that wants children to learn a more patriotic version of history.
The novel has been criticized for its simplistic dialogue, lack of subtlety, and unconventional use of English punctuation. Kenyon has also been accused of promoting sexist and anti-vaccine views on social media, which has sparked anxiety among the people of Makerfield.
Reform UK has said that it does not want children to be indoctrinated at school, but Kenyon's actions seem to contradict this stance. His novel, which features a character who kills Nazis with his bare hands and feeds their bodies to pigs, has been described as a time-travelling military-sci-fi semi-erotic novel.
