UK's Nigel Farage's social media adviser says Britain should not have fought against Nazis in WW2
An adviser used by the UK's Reform Party leader, Nigel Farage, along with other politicians from the party to boost their social media popularity, has suggested that Britain would be better off had it stayed neutral during the Second World War instead of fighting against Nazi Germany An adviser used by the UK's Reform Party leader, Nigel Farage, along with other politicians from the party to boost their social media popularity, has suggested that Britain would be better off had it stayed neutral during the Second World War instead of fighting against Nazi Germany. Jack Anderton, who ran Farage's hugely successful TikTok account and went on to help Luke Campbell become the Reform mayor of Hull and East Yorkshire, also noted that the United Kingdom should not support Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression. In a post on his blog about the UK's foreign policy, Anderton suggested that the UK could 'regain' former colonies such as Australia, Canada and South Africa. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD He went on to state that the UK should copy the policy of mass incarceration carried out by El Salvador's president, Nayib Bukele, which has been widely condemned as a violation of human rights all around the world. Why it matters It is pertinent to note that Anderson has never been employed by the Reform Party. However, the 23-year-old established Farage on TikTok, where he now has 1.3 million followers, before working closely on Campbell's election campaign. After his victory, Anderson continues to remain a central part of Campbell's circle. According to The Guardian, the newly-elected mayor is known to have made efforts to get him on his roster of staff, which have been thwarted because he cannot have political appointees. In his latest personal blog titled Britain Needs Change, Anderson included an entry from last year about what he called 'a self-interested British foreign policy'. He insisted that the only conflict of the last century that was in the UK's interest was the Falklands War. 'Trillions of pounds of British taxes have been spent in foreign lands in the pursuit of 'democracy', 'human rights' and 'doing what is right',' the post said. 'More than a million British lives have been lost since WW1 in wars and battles that have never once been fought by British men, on this island," it added. 'UK should not have fought in WW2': Anderson In the post, Anderson argued that both world wars ensured that the UK was no longer a great power in the international arena. 'We impoverished ourselves for decades; we didn't finish paying the loans off to America until 2006. Our economy stagnated, we lost an empire, and we are pushed around by America. And Germany, a country we beat, has been richer than us since the 1970s," he wrote. 'Alternative history is interesting; if Britain had not fought in WW1 and WW2, it would not have had to rely on America for economic support, and it would have had the independence to act accordingly. Britain could have developed India, Cyprus, Fiji, Malta, Saint Lucia, Seychelles, the Bahamas, Australia, Canada, South Africa, Ireland and New Zealand. In the coming meritocracy, perhaps Britain could regain some of these nations.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD In the same post, he also opposed London providing support for Ukraine after Russia's invasion: 'We are sending billions of pounds (that we cannot afford) to prop up a country that we have no allegiance to. Russia is not our enemy; they have not attacked Britain.' Anderson's radical rant also included a call for a shake-up of the Foreign Office so that all decisions are made purely based on whether or not they benefit Britain: 'Instead, what we have are people who should be working for the UN or a charity rather than working in the British Foreign Office.' When asked about the matter, Reform UK told The Guardian that Anderson is neither employed by the party nor the mayor.

Independence Day 2025 Modi signals new push for tech independence with local chips Before Trump, British used tariffs to kill Indian textile Bank of Azad Hind: When Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose gave India its own currency That was the kind of "large-hearted leadership" the Congress had at the time, Pawar, who had a long stint in the opposition party, said at an event here on Saturday. Pawar snapped ties with the Congress in 1999 and co-founded the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP). In July 2023, the NCP split after Sharad Pawar's nephew Ajit Pawar joined the then Shiv Sena-BJP coalition government. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like AU Aspire Silicon City is a premium residential project AU Aspire Silicon City Learn More Undo The 84-year-old Rajya Sabha member, who served as Maharashtra's CM multiple times, recalled that after Emergency, the grand old party split into the Congress (Indira) and Swarn Singh Congress. Pawar said he remained in the Swarn Singh Congress with his mentor Yashwantrao Chavan at the time, but neither side had a clear majority in the elections that subsequently took place. Live Events "Eventually, we came together and made Vasantdada the chief minister. However, many of us young workers had a resentment against Congress (I), since we were aligned with Chavan saheb. So there was a gap. Dada tried to bridge it, but we opposed it," the former Union minister said. "I was among the key opponents. As a result, we decided to bring down the government and we did. I became the chief minister," he recalled. "Why am I saying this? Because ten years later, we were all united again," Pawar pointed out.

Sharad will lead it'," Pawar said. "Imagine the same leader whose government I brought down, he put all that aside and chose unity for ideology. That was the kind of large-hearted leadership we had in the Congress," the former CM said.
