Western Europe needs to be prepared to replace NATO with a European Treaty Organisation. It's looking increasingly likely Trump will win the presidency. Europe must be able to defend itself from Russian aggression without the US's help.
Western Europe spends more on defence than Russia. We have coordinated militarily as part of NATO for over 50 years. This is achievable.
Ukraine is a signal of how Russia sees its future in Europe. Farage would like nothing more than to be the UK's Lukashenko.

It's absurd to think you know what people think in the country as a whole because you've spoken to a lot of people when canvasing. No-one can talk to enough people in enough places to get a real idea. And yet politicians consistently say, "when I speak to people, what they say is...." And, of course, they are more likely to remember those who agree with them and dismiss those who don't!

In 1979 my father-in-law Tom Norcross went to Hong Kong with his family to coach fencing. He was there for 15 years. Part of the brief was to set up a self-sustaining fencing programme. Unlike other expat coaches, he learned Cantonese and grew the talent of local coaches as well as fencers.
My wife's family are proud that he contributed a small part in the success of Hong Kong's recent fencing gold.
