"Reform Party Says Deport Migrants"

[Bacon1]

LONDON (AP) — Nigel Farage, the leader of Britain’s hard-right Reform UK party, said Tuesday that if he wins the next election he will leave the European Convention on Human Rights and immediately detain and deport anyone who arrives in the country illegally, including children.

 

Farage laid out his plans following a significant rise in migrants who arrive by boat across the English Channel, and weeks of protests over the government’s use of hotels to house asylum-seekers.

 

“If you come to the U.K. illegally, you will be detained and deported and never, ever allowed to stay, period,” Farage told a press conference.

 

“The mood in the country around this issue is a mix between total despair and rising anger,” he added, claiming there is now “a genuine threat to public order” if no action is taken.

 

He said the issue of “how we deal with children is much more complicated,” but added: “Women and children, everybody on arrival will be detained.”
