Strange - I thought it was Russia invading Ukraine that led to war in Europe?
He's just reciting from the flawed Putin playbook. Disappointing but not unexpected.

Farage is just defending his former employer

Sounds like he thinks he is.

Boris Johnson hits back at Farage accusation: ‘I don’t know if Nigel’s speaking for the Kremlin’

...The Fox News anchor then asked Mr Johnson to respond to the comments.

“Well, look, I think that the Kremlin and I don’t know if Nigel’s speaking for the Kremlin, but the Kremlin are fabled for their complete refusal to tell the truth about anything that’s happening in Ukraine,” the former prime minister replied.

“I think what Putin was trying to do was creep me out… Bret, what he was trying to do was reduce it to a story about a nuclear standoff between Russia and Nato,” he added.

“And that’s what he talks about. You know, I don’t want to harm you with a missile. He wants it to be about Russia versus Nato, and he wants to drag in the whole nuclear issue. We’ve got to avoid being sucked down that rabbit hole. This is not what it’s about. It’s about the invasion of a completely innocent country.”

Nigel F - a Putin agent ?
Could be something to that. Certainly he's helped Putin divide and conquer, by making the Europe weaker.

Farage good at destroying unity with Europe perhaps he is a Russian Nazi after all.

Great speech

It was.

As he's a target for Putin, he might be safer staying over here until/if he is able to return home. He could run his country remotely. I believe that our Queen was evacuated during WWII. Maybe he wants to return to boost morale though and not look like he's obtaining a privilege whilst his people suffer.

I wonder how he got here? Surely there are no flights to/from Ukraine at the moment??

Elizabeth spent WW2 in Windsor and joined the Auxiliary Territorial Service after she turned 18. Many wanted the royals to flee to Canada but they did not.

Zelenskyy has likewise been offered the chance to run his government from exile and has refused. In the opening days of the war he famously declared “I need ammunition, not a ride.”

King George VI with his wife(future Queen Mother) remained at Buckingham House during WWII. Our future Queen (Princess Elizabeth aged 13) also remained but was evacuated to Windsor Castle in 1940 so still in Country. On reaching 18 she enrolled in the ATS as a second subaltern in the ATS and was later promoted to Junior Commander, the equivalent of Captain.

She began her training as a mechanic in March 1945 (aged 18). She undertook a driving and vehicle maintenance course at Aldershot, qualifying on April 14. During that time she remained a resident of Windsor Castle and returned there in the evenings.

The Queen mother made two statements at the time which resonated with the nation, first that she and the children wouldn't leave the country without the King and that the King would never leave and secondly that she felt she could look the people of the east end in the eye after Buckingham Palace was bombed, the second statement still stirs things in me as I'm an eastend boy whose great grandfather died prematurely from the effects of what he was asked to do during the blitz

Literally nothing he promised has happened (often the opposite btw), that's a prerequisite for being considered great imo
