UK Politics
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

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
