Farage takes Telegraph onto Channel boat as migrant number hits milestone | Dispatch

Britain should cut off any more funding to France if it continues to escort migrant boats across the Channel, Nigel Farage has said.

His comments came as the number of people crossing since Rishi Sunak became Prime Minister passed 50,000.

Mr Farage, the Reform UK leader, accompanied by reporters, took a catamaran into the Channel as he set out his party’s plans for stopping the boats.

Within three hours of it going to sea, a dinghy packed with 45 migrants was spotted approaching the Channel’s 12-mile midpoint, having been escorted across the still waters from the north of France by the Minck, a rescue vessel contracted to the French Navy.

This is disgraceful from our government

Any fish in the water belong to Europe, Any people belong to Britain!

I can't go to France without a passport. I can't even leave a UK shipping port or airport or the Eurostar without a passport. So why is the idea of returning illegally economic migrants wrong? It's not a controversial idea. It's common sense. The UK gravy train for people illegally entering the UK must stop. Over half of the UK voted for Brexit back in 2016, partially because of illegal migration problems. They aren't fleeing a war-torn country (France)
They are coming for free housing and to fleece UK tax payers, via the benefits system, that they or their parents have never paid a penny for and for free NHS healthcare they have never paid a penny for.

Farage is the only 1 who actually gives a fuk about this country

Half a Billion to Macron ? What a waste of UK Taxpayer’s money…

We must be the laughing stock of the world

No benefits for 5 years for foreigners..would take the desire away from coming here..Thats a reform policy 👍

[Gazdavies]

Reform is the only party with the balls to end this chaos

[ancietman]

Remember at Xmas ( when the channel was rough ) Cleverly told us dinghy arrivals were down & the plan was working. They treat the public with contempt.

The last gang investigation took 8 years and jailed 2. Way to go

[payasa]

What a spineless country we’ve become.

[MZig-rwsu]

Sunak bullied by the French like a weak little girl....too scared to say anything

[stephen.v]

The French should give all our money back 😡

[emeraldeyes]

The problem is the defeatist attitude perfectly demonstrated by the Telegraph reporter.

[iansmith]

Our governments now or impending have no real concern of what is happening on our shores.

[lrain]

There's nothing controversial about it. We have the right to take them back to France and did just that many years ago before all the do-gooders got involved, 😡

[gedreillyhomestead]

I'm surprised that the current UK Government hasn't given every migrant illegal or otherwise the right to vote in this coming election. 🤬💩🤯 Vote Reform UK 👍

[roberttheaker]

What gets me is there are begging adverts on TV for poor country that need help but our government would rather spend it on illegal migration

[JoeClark-neil]

Come on Nigel your are how last hope please people vote reform 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[MCB-sepj]

BRING BACK COMMON SENSE…..VOTE REFORM NOW
