‘Polish prince’ challenges Nigel Farage to duel

Nigel Farage has been challenged to a duel with swords by a man claiming to be a Polish prince.

Yanek Zylinski says he wants to stand up for his people

Yanek Zylinski, in a video posted to YouTube, slammed the Ukip leader’s “idiotic” blaming of immigrants for traffic jams on the M40.

Mr Zylinski called on Mr Farage to meet him in Hyde Park in central London to resolve the matter “in a way that an 18th-century Polish aristocrat and an English gentleman would traditionally do”.

Sitting next to a statue of his war hero father, Andrew Zylinski, who he said led a victorious cavalry charge against the Germans in 1939, Mr Zylinski said he could not take any more anti-Polish discrimination. Holding his father’s sword, Mr Zylinski said: “I’ve realised that now what I have to do is to stand up in defence of my people in this country in the UK.

“I’ve had enough of discrimination.”

Mr Farage said: “It is an impressive sword. I don’t have one but I’m sure we could find one if we had to. But I’m not intending to accept the offer.”
