@HamishDBG Indeed. And the PPU, which was a mass movement in 1930s, overlapped (as Orwell noted) with British fascism. Under the editorship of John Middleton Murry, its journal Peace News justified the Nazi invasion of Prague, attacked Churchill as a warmonger & denied Japanese war crimes.

It was a pleasure speaking with @HamishDBG as the UK government announced the delivery of additional Storm Shadow missiles to Ukraine. We discussed Putin’s nuclear drills, the battle for Pokrovsk, and the audacious Ukrainian special operations. Watch: https://t.co/OegpyePGIg

You really don’t understand us do you, @RussianEmbassy ?!?! @FrancisDearnley and @HamishDBG are going to be chuffed! When do I get a look in?
❗️ The Embassy has taken note of efforts by certain UK right-wing conservative forces to persist in fuelling anti-Russian hysteria in sponsored media outlets. The reason for this delusional "episode" is a combination of bad news for the Kiev regime. https://t.co/pbxfNX7uEu
