Reform leader has attracted criticism from across the UK political spectrum after he said the West had ‘provoked’ Putin’s war against Ukraine
Added bonus: Nigel Farage agrees with Sandy Hook conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ rant in resurfaced clip
I want to call him a useful idiot but I’m afraid that will defame all idiots.
The sad thing is… this will probably give him a bump in the numbers.
Now even the dumbest idiot should know that Farage should not be voted for.
Traitor to democracy
I am not and never have been an apologist or supporter of Putin. His invasion of Ukraine was immoral, outrageous and indefensible. As a champion of national sovereignty, I believe that Putin was entirely wrong to invade the sovereign nation of Ukraine. Nobody can fairly accuse me of being an appeaser. I have never sought to justify Putin’s invasion in any way and I’m not now.
Bet they didn’t quote this bit though, eh?
That’s weird. Why do the titles claim he said the opposite of what you quote? The more I listen to him directly (rather than read headlines about him), the more he starts to seem like just a classical tory from the 90s or 00s.

Just a classical racist, authoritarian, immigrant hating, war justifying, commodity trading tory from the 90s or 00s. Perhaps like Enoch Powell? Although he left parliament in the 80s.

Because we live in a society that doesn’t read articles anymore, and gets all of their news just from headlines.
It’s easier for editors to make a provocative headline than it is to make a balanced one.

Maybe read the article and find out
The inews article does quote that paragraph, but it does not say whether the Russian media who praise Farage mentioned it. I’m going to guess not.
Aside: Farage is so full of shit it’s amazing he manages to sit down without it dribbling out of his mouth… “[Here’s why Putin’s invasion of Ukraine is the fault of Western ‘liberals’…] I have never sought to justify Putin’s invasion in any way and I’m not now.” Sadly, his open contempt for the intelligence of his supporters seems to be entirely justified.
Ahh, I hadn’t interpreted the comment that way. I thought that Jackthelad was suggesting Farage was being unfairly maligned by the article. My apologies if I got that wrong

Putin’s other knob-slobberrer is a fan: https://thehill.com/opinion/international/4689566-mr-brexit-makes-his-own-exit-to-stump-for-trump/
It’s absolutely the case they are being paid in kind to fuck up public opinion again and let Putin win - again. We do not have time for this. No one has time for this.
