The Buzz | Pole challenges anti-immigration UK politician to a duel
An aristocratic Pole has challenged an anti-immigration British politician to a duel.
Jan Zylinski, who calls himself a prince, says he’s tired of U.K. Independence Party leader Nigel Farage criticizing eastern European migrants.
In a video posted online, Zylinski, who lives in London, urged Farage to meet him in Hyde Park to resolve the matter “in a way that an 18th-century Polish aristocrat and an English gentleman would traditionally do.”
Holding a sword he said belonged to his cavalry-officer father, Zylinski said: “I’m offering a duel, if you agree” — but added he would settle for a “duel of words.”
Poland’s aristocracy was abolished by the former communist regime, but many people from aristocratic families still use their titles.
