Exclusive: Jack Anderton says UK may ‘regain’ former colonies in future and suggests end to support for Ukraine
An adviser used by Nigel Farage and others in Reform UK to boost their social media popularity has suggested that Britain would be better off had it stayed neutral in the second world war instead of fighting Nazi Germany.
Jack Anderton, who ran Farage’s hugely successful TikTok account before helping Luke Campbell become the Reform mayor of Hull and East Yorkshire, also said the UK should not support Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression.
In a post on his personal blog about Britain’s international standing, Anderton said that in a future world of “meritocracy”, the UK could “regain” former colonies such as Australia, Canada and South Africa.
He added that the UK should copy the policy of mass incarceration carried out by El Salvador’s president, Nayib Bukele, widely condemned as an abuse of human rights.
Anderton has never been employed by Reform but the 23-year-old established Farage on TikTok, where he now has 1.3m followers, before working closely on Campbell’s election campaign.
He remains a central part of Campbell’s circle, and the mayor is known to have made efforts to get him on to his roster of staff, which have been thwarted because he cannot have political appointees.
Anderton’s personal blog, titled Britain Needs Change, includes an entry from last year about what he called “a self-interested British foreign policy”, arguing that the only conflict in 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.”
Fighting in both the world wars ensured the UK was no longer a great power, he wrote: “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.”
The same post also argues against 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.”
Anderton calls for a shake-up of the Foreign Office so that all decisions are made purely on the basis of 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.”
In another post from 2024, on crime, Anderton enthusiastically endorses the policies of Nayib Bukele, who has dramatically cut gang violence and wider crime through mass detentions that have put 2% of El Salvador’s population in prison.
“Extraordinary times require extraordinary measures,” he wrote. “I’d even argue the measures aren’t that extraordinary and should be in place in times of normalcy.
“El Salvador is perhaps a lesson for those in Britain who wish to take back control of their country. Power works, and it is all that matters. State power when used effectively is basically omnipotent. The meritocracy will be established, criminals and corrupt officials will be jailed, immigration will drop to zero, houses will be built, and our citizens will once again feel proud of the country they call home.”
Anderton was contacted for comment. Campbell’s office referred the matter to Reform UK, who said Anderton was not employed by either the party or the mayor.
Next he’ll be making threats to slit peoples throats like Kier’s ilk.
The dude looks like he should be revising for his GCSEs.
If this is the standard for UK politicians we’ve literally scraped the bottom of the barrel
It’s been this weird part of hard right Toryism and conservatism for years…
“it was a disaster for the Anglo-Saxon races and for the world that Nazism was extinguished.”
– Alan Clark, the late Conservative MP.

I suppose you could argue that the Empire would have continued had we not gotten involved.
That being said, what would Europe have looked like if we had let the Nazis do whatever they wanted? We would have had to intervene at some point, war was inevitable.
For better or worse we ended up doing the right thing in my opinion.
These performative agitators are always part of the problem and never the solution.
Reform voters: ‚I was already voting for them, you don’t have to sell them to me anymore‘
>Anderton said that in a future world of “meritocracy”, the UK could “regain” former colonies such as Australia, Canada and South Africa.
Why doesn’t the UK simply pull itself up by its bootstraps?
Most liberals act like we never anyway. Churchill is a nazi in their eyes
To those of us who lost relatives, parents, grandparents fighting fascism In the 40s this is hugely disrespectful, can we strip him of his citizenship and tell him to fuck off now?
Yeah, he’s about 12 and they are still on the Tudors at school
He’s not wrong.
But it’s a pretty insane take. We stopped the genocide of Eastern Europe and the Jewish people.
He’s not wrong.
But we stopped the genocide of Eastern Europe and the Jewish people. Probably worth the financial misery!
The obnoxious little right-wing brat notwithstanding, I’d be *slightly* interested in an actual historian’s take on the counterfactual history had Britain remained neutral in WW2, and whether that would have been a credible option even if motivated purely by self-interest. Obviously, the moral argument for democracies to fight the literal Nazis is as clear cut as you could hope for.
He sounds like the type of person who wades into an online argument *thinking* he knows what he’s talking about, then realises he doesn’t, then starts desperately googling for anything that might back up his original point, and then eventually starts pretending he was just saying it for a laugh and the real stupid people are the ones who fell for it.
Genuine question, what does he think the Nazis would have done once they’d finished conquering the continent? Or is he suggesting that we should have been on their side?
I am both confused, and rather miffed by this little scrote.
ah yes completely fail in history i see? if the UK didnt create the massive diversions and basically stayed out of the war the UK probably wouldn’t even be here it would have been taken over. and i know that from watching a few videos on youtube about how all the stuff happened and how the downfall started and why the UK was so important to the war.
Looks like if/when the Reform take power, the UK will get to see how good their checks and balances are at holding politicians from making a ton for illegal changes.
I fear it may be similar to the US where the rules are only good on paper if you get enough loyalists in important positions.
We would be speaking German. The end.
German sounds like a typewriter covered in tinfoil going down the stairs backwards.
How does a young person even form these views? When I was in school we covered World War 2 to death and it was absolutely clear how horrific and evil the Nazis were. I couldn’t fathom a single person in my school ever contemplating siding with the Nazis. Even the bullies and the dickheads would never stoop that low. What the fuck is wrong with this person?
We could have been.
Nazis could have won the war, toppled our government and carried on with what they were doing.
A rebel group or an uprising could have happened, defeated the Nazis and created a new government, which could have led to a better outcome of life right now.
Or, it could have gone completely horrible…
Hindsight is a beautiful thing.
if the uk had stayed neutral it wouldve left Europe to be left under the Nazi boot, or a soviet led bloc going all the way to the atlantic. its a horrifying prospect.
In breaking news, fascist little shit completely fails to understand the importance of diplomacy in international relations.
This is the problem of social media writ large.
I mean yeah… He’s bound to be disappointed his side lost
Let me get this right, a wet behind the ears kid is an advisor to Farage? WTF
„Advisor“
The boy set up aTikTok account and advertised it on Facebook where all the old people hang out.
Would have been better off had it not fought in WWI*
All I’m saying is there’s only one mainstream party I’ve seen consistently be Nazi apologists
So many of the right-wingers who clamour for „meritocracy“ seem unaware that their only personal „merit“ is being a privileged White male.
In an actual meritocracy, Nigel Farage would be selling used cars and Jack Anderton would be washing dishes in some restaurant somewhere.
He needs an education, and a few history lessons
Or perhaps the simple answer is he’s just a Nazi so there’s no saving him
Fuck, this is the guy Campbell has been trying to get into Hull City Council?
I agree if it was WW1 but we actually had treaty obligations to join WW2 and Hitler certainly would have attacked us after France if we stayed out initially.
Based on the rather naive assumption that Germany in 1940 would have observed the neutrality of the UK.
He is also a half-wit if he thinks Australia or Canada would lose their sovereignity, wasn’t „taking our country back‘ Farage’s slogan? Yet this numpty thinks other countries will give up theirs to the UK.
