Farage adviser said UK would be better off if it had not fought in WW2
The Guardian ^ | Aug 17 | The Guardian

Posted on 08/17/2025 3:12:58 PM PDT by RandFan

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.

...

“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.”

Absolute silliness.

He’s never heard of the dreadnought race? I don’t believe it.

That would have been a heck of a meeting between Churchill, the Queen and Hitler discussing just how neutral the UK would be after Germany won the war.

WWI yes, WWII no.

But then again if the Brits didn’t get into WWI there would have been no WWII.

It is complicated but you’re right the reparations drove the Nazis to power.

Do these people think that Hitler would not have invaded the UK? Apparently, they think Hitler would have left them alone, as he dominated the rest of Europe.

Is there any historic evidence that Hitler only bombed the UK, just because the UK declared war on Germany, after Germany invaded Poland?

Frankly, whoever won between Germany, Austria-Hungary and Russia, should of have of no concern to the other countries.

But France’s alliance with Russia, empowered Nicky to mobilize his troops, setting all the wheels in motion.

Germany unfortunately took a mortal wound. National guilt has neutered them

If we listened to Patton and went into Russia and finished them off, things may have evened out.

But then, again, it must be said who pushed this immigration in the first place. Barbara Lerner Specter, Barbara Roche, Ronit Lentin, and THIS GUY:

Japan and Germany would have eventually come to blows.

The British Empire would have remained intact.

Right now it's America alone. Elon Musk pointed out that we are the last remaining pillar of the Western Civilization. This is it.

If the U.K. hadn’t declared war on Germany in WWII after Hitler invaded Poland, means that Hitler would either invade Britain, or bomb it to smithereens, so he could continue his plan of Lebensraum. Anyone allowed to remain alive in Britain would be used for slave work, until they were starved or worked to death.

Especially knowing that ultimately the Americans would be stationed in Britain.

Hitler takes Britain, and any chance of the US getting involved in the war in the European theater, would have been gone.
