If you visit the communism museum in Prague, you'll learn all about the horrors of being under the thumb of the USSR. And then at the end you'll see a photograph of the cottage in the countryside where Vaclav Havel and others plotted the revolution with a text explaining that, like many Czech people, Havel owned a second home in the countryside where they would often spend weekends and holidays.

Farage owns the Reform Party. The leader of Reform in Wales just got a 10+ year prison sentence for taking Russian bribes to promote Russian agendas. Nigel often speaks favourably of Russia and Putin and regularly made paid appearances on Russian television before sanctions made that impossible.
