Farage Adviser sagte, dass Großbritannien besser dran wäre, wenn es nicht gegen Nazi -Deutschland gekämpft hätte

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.

The dude looks like he should be revising for his GCSEs.

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.”

These performative agitators are always part of the problem and never the solution.

Why doesn’t the UK simply pull itself up by its bootstraps?

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?

He’s not wrong.

But it’s a pretty insane take. We stopped the genocide of Eastern Europe and the Jewish people.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

I mean yeah… He’s bound to be disappointed his side lost

The boy set up aTikTok account and advertised it on Facebook where all the old people hang out. 

All I’m saying is there’s only one mainstream party I’ve seen consistently be Nazi apologists

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

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.
