Nigel Farage’s plans to deport hundreds of thousands of asylum seekers to despotic regimes such as Afghanistan’s Taliban and withdraw the UK from vital human rights protections have triggered fierce condemnation from legal experts and political opponents, who said the proposals would dismantle Britain’s postwar commitments and shred fundamental rights.
Unveiling Reform UK’s “Operation Restoring Justice” at a combative Oxford press conference, Farage claimed his party would detain and deport “absolutely anyone” arriving by small boat and ensure they are “never, ever allowed to stay”, insisting this would stop crossings “within days” and “save tens and possibly hundreds of billions of pounds”.
Pressed by reporters, Farage confirmed that women and children would also be detained under the plans, conceding that “how we deal with children is a more complicated and difficult issue” but insisting all arrivals would be subject to removal. » | Aletha Adu and Haroon Siddique | Tuesday, August 26, 2025
These days, the world is full of Hitler types, wannabees and Trump clones! Doesn't this dude ever have any original thoughts and ideas? Does he have to copy all his ideas from heartless wannabee dictators, cruel despots and merciless tyrants? What on earth does this loudmouth troublemaker want to make of the United Kingdom? Is it his wish to destroy Britain's reputation in the world, once and for all? — © Mark Alexander
