“He spoke to me like my fate had been sealed”— chilling words from UK PoW Aiden Aslin, describing his interrogation at the hands of Britain’s most controversial traitor, Graham Phillips. The Nottingham-born propagandist, now officially a Russian asylum-seeker, has cemented his status as the Kremlin’s most loyal mouthpiece. Once an independent journalist, Phillips has drawn fierce condemnation for broadcasting Russian propaganda, even going as far as interrogating a British PoW on camera—a move some MPs dubbed a “war crime.”
In a bizarre twist of fate, Phillips, once shackled by UK sanctions, now holds a Russian passport. The Kremlin gleefully broadcasted his sanctuary signing ceremony on X (formerly Twitter), rubbing salt in the UK’s wounds. Robert Jenrick, MP, had previously slammed Phillips’ infamous YouTube interview with the visibly battered Aslin, accusing the “Lord Haw-Haw 2.0” of grossly violating the Geneva Convention.
Phillips fought hard to escape his UK penalties but, in a stunning legal defeat, saw his appeal quashed earlier this year. Justice Johnson minced no words, labeling his support for Putin as “legitimate grounds for punishment.” Yet, Phillips shows no remorse. His cozy Kremlin life begins as he shrugs off his former British identity and starts anew with Russian papers in hand—fully ready to continue his so-called ‘journalistic mission’.
