Obvious case of WP:QUACK. Politialguru's last sock was HMWikiSoldier (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), who was blocked on 14th Jan. One hour later Crunchynotsmooth's account was created.
There's some obvious similarities. All of Politialguru's socks have a particular focus on UK politics, especially Conservative Party (UK). They also seem to edit specific articles within Canadian politics, such as Conservative Party of Canada. He appears to have a particular obsession with altering the political positions of parties, always making the same changes:

I believe this accusation is being made in bad faith, i.e. Czello is making a fake case for an "attack". It is possible this is on the basis of his disagreements with me on Conservative Party (UK) and the fact I have sought RfC and consulted members of the arbitration committee including BDD about our dispute and his behaviour.

Possible. Same country, different ISPs, ranges, and same (common) user agent. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 23:03, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
