    Russian front

    Nigel Farage discussed fronting far-right group led by Steve Bannon

    Nigel Farage discussed the idea of fronting a global alliance of populist and far-right politicians being put together by the controversial former White House strategist Steve Bannon, it has emerged.

    Farage said he would be keen to take the role after Bannon discussed the idea of forming a group based around populism and “economic nationalism”, with potential members including Hungary’s Viktor Orbán and Rodrigo Duterte, the Philippines leader who is accused of presiding over mass rights abuses and who has admitted authorising extrajudicial killings.

    Sounded like he turned down the offer graciously by saying he liked the concept but didn’t have time.

    And **** you for making me read the guardian.

      It's always someone else's fault with you. AtW makes you read the Guardian. Google makes you illiterate. Man up and take some responsibility for your life.

          The fact that, according to the article, this group was supported by people in various countries including India and Egypt rather contradicts the idea that this is some racist group.

          Nationalism and opposition to globalism is not necessarily the same thing as racism, rather it is embracing the realities. There will always be big differences in cultures and in economies and we need to take account of those. Democracy is meaningless unless some decisions are devolved to the lowest level, even parishes have different priorities.

              “In the beginning of April 1941, Iraqi politician Rashid Ali al-Gaylani along with several more Iraqi officers, part of the nationalist group the Golden Square, overthrew the pro-British regime in the Kingdom of Iraq. The new pro-Nazi government sought German and Italian support for an Iraqi revolt against the British forces in the country. Contact was established with the Axis powers with the help of Arab nationalist Grand Mufti of Jerusalem Amin al-Husseini who had lived in Iraq since he fled imprisonment from Mandatory Palestine shortly before the war.[1]”
