‘Both sound like admirers of Putin’: Farage’s Russia comments dissected | LBC
James O’Brien asks: ‘does there need to be further investigation into Russian interference in UK politics?’
Nathan Gill, former Welsh leader of Reform UK, was convicted of receiving bribes from a Kremlin stooge in exchange for making pro-Russia speeches in the European Parliament.
James takes a closer look at the speeches he made, and what Nigel Farage has said about Russia and Vladimir Putin.
It comes after Keir Starmer was questioned about Russian interference and Gill’s case by Ed Davey during Prime Minister’s Questions.

Every time you hear politicians say “The Ukraine” and not “Ukraine” you gotta be very careful.
Adding “The” implies that Ukraine is not a country, but a geographical term, like The Alps, The Carpathians, The Nordics etc. Russia wants people to believe Ukraine is not a country, but a region of Russia.
Farage and this Gill consistently only say The Ukraine, not Ukraine. Russia tells them to do so.

Absolutely no doubt Farage is either a useful idiot or a fully paid up Putin asset. I’d go with the 2nd idea myself…He’s taken money from RT and quite probably was in on the Gill scheme..His finances need looking into…The US has already been infiltrated by an asset in Trump…Do we really want to be next?
@Rosbif06600
Gill was approached took the money, gave the speeches and has admitted it.
Farage must have been approached so he either took the money or he commited a crime by not reporting the approach.
@TeF643
It’s so weird that you can’t suggest that Nigel Farage has taken money from russian sources. Of course Nigel Farage has taken money from russian sources to spout russian propaganda.

If it walks like a duck, quacks like like a duck it’s probably a duck.
The government needs to set GCHQ and special branch on Farage.
@essaweb
General rule : if you deliberately and repeatedly say “the Ukraine” you are a Russian stooge.
Counter-examples?
@Regenmacher175
Sounds like Farage’s political party is Russia-first. Deeper enquiries and investigations are needed to see how deep the political corruption runs.
@pedanticsmith5613
Both the idiots say, “The Ukraine”. They may be from The England and The Wales but their unedited script is from The Russia. Don’t even trust them to fry an egg.
@rafd3593
Farage, Trump, Putin and Orban are all members of a secret far right club.
@g.pmoore4293
It’s Farage’s wallet first . The man will work for whoever pays.
@dangumbo4835
Farage; doing the political bidding of the world’s oligarchs since 1990 but has convinced 30% of the electorate he’s an anti establishment, man of the people.
@Gary-le7dz
Oh dear the great patriot 😂 is a Russian asset well I never …. Next you ll be saying he admire Putin more thsn any other world leader.
In 2019, JeremIRA CorbLenin was only narrowly defeated by Theresa May. Had he won, the UK would have been run by a far left ruZZia controlled shitbag who never met a murder gang boss he didn’t like. Corbyn like Krasnov, had or rather still has his own KGB code name : Agent Cob.
Polling suggests that Farage; a far right servant of ruZZia and friend of Krasnov, is likely to be the next PM.
That’s why people like James O’Brien are performing a service. For Britain, Ukraine and the world.
I’m not sure why Western nations tolerate bought and paid for ruskie whores like Farage and others like him. Ditto for their voters. We have a general rot in our societies, and this can be dangerous when we have evil entities like mafia land and bat virus land acting like they do.
