UK shouldn't have fought Nazis, should regain Australia, Canada, India, says Farage's aide

An adviser to Nigel Farage, the leader of the UK’s Reform Party, has said that Britain would have been better off if it had remained neutral during World War II, rather than fighting against Nazi Germany.

Jack Anderton, used by Farage and others in Reform UK to boost their social media popularity, also said that the UK should not be supporting Ukraine in its current conflict with Russia.

Anderton, 23, ran Farage’s hugely successful TikTok account, where he now has 1.3m followers, before helping Luke Campbell become the Reform mayor of Hull and East Yorkshire. He has never been employed by Reform.

In a post on his personal blog, titled Britain Needs Change, Anderton envisioned a future world with “meritocracy” in which the UK could “regain” and develop its former colonies including Australia, Canada, South Africa, India, Cyprus, Fiji, Malta, Saint Lucia, Seychelles, the Bahamas, Australia, Canada, South Africa, Ireland and New Zealand.

Anderton’s personal blog also includes an entry from last year about what he called “a self-interested British foreign policy.”

In it, he argues that almost all the wars fought by British men in the last century were counterproductive to the UK’s interests, leading to the loss of the British Empire.

“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 WWI in wars and battles that have never once been fought by British men, on this island.”

He writes in his blog that fighting in both world wars resulted in the UK’s decline, losing its status as a big power and being bullied around by the United States.

UK imposes ‘largest ever’ sanctions package on Russia, hits 100 Russian tankers

The United Kingdom has announced its largest-ever sanctions package against Russia in order to deal a blow to Russia’s oil transportation network and reduce Moscow’s energy revenues.

“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.

“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.”

Anderton adds in the same post on his blog that Russia is not the enemy of the UK, and by supplying aid to Ukraine, London is sending money it cannot afford.

“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.”

The successful publicist also calls for a shake-up in the UK Foreign Office so that all foreign policy decisions are made in accordance with national interests.

The UK has been a devout supporter of Ukraine in its war against Russia, slapping sanctions on Moscow and providing Kiev with military and tactical support and billions in cash, and has long worked to depict Moscow as a threat to the UK’s national security.
