The architect of Brexit and founder of the Brexit Party, Nigel Farage, has come out swinging against Boris Johnson’s mismanagement of mass Muslim migration, compounded by the coronavirus lockdown.
Farage also made the shocking discovery that the French navy has been escorting Muslim migrants across the English Channel so that they could illegally enter the UK. He warned that the wave of illegal crossings was the “beginning of an invasion.” Farage also charged back in May that the migrant boat scandal was “bigger than anyone realizes.” And it hasn’t let up.
In the midst of this growing scandal are other bizarre issues that show that Farage has not been exaggerating, as many would prefer to believe. For instance, while the French navy has been aiding the invasion, reports also emerged that some of the illegal migrants crossing the English Channel threatened to “drown themselves or their children in order to keep French ships back.” This implied that the French were trying to stop them, contradicting the reports that stated that the French navy was aiding the migrants. Then came the news that the French were reportedly demanding $39,246,720 USD “in exchange for allowing the British navy to return illegal boat migrants who departed from France’s shores.” This news about France seeking compensation follows a day on which 516 illegal migrants crossed the English Channel within the space of only three days; many are getting VIP treatment in Britain and filling hotels on the taxpayers’ dime. So the French were apparently attempting to solve their own Muslim migrant problem by palming the migrants off on the Brits, and are now seeking big money to take them back, at a time where countries around the world are suffering economically because of the coronavirus.
Most Britons are unhappy with Boris Johnson’s mismanagement of the migration crisis. 62% of the British population views Johnson as having failed on immigration. He certainly has, and he continues to turn a blind eye to this elephant in the room. Migration Watch UK “warned that Boris Johnson’s so-called Australian-style point-based immigration system leaves Britain open to around 660 million migrant workers, as it has no cap on overall numbers.”
Farage did not stop at accusing Johnson of not having the “political will to tackle the growing migrant boat crisis.” He is now calling for the declaration of a state of emergency over the issue. It is indeed a state of emergency. But the UK will almost certainly not declare it as such; nor will they do anything about it. Farage does not “think the Prime Minister will tackle the issue out of fear of backlash and accusations of racism,” and he’s right.
“Farage: Boris Lacks ‘Political Will’ to Stop Migrant Boats, Govt Should Declare ‘National Emergency,’” by Kurt Zindulka, Breitbart, August 11, 2020:
Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage said that Prime Minister Boris Johnson doesn’t have the “political will” to tackle the growing migrant boat crisis in the English Channel, as over 4,100 migrants have landed on British beaches since the start of the year.
On Monday morning, Mr Farage said that he doesn’t think the Prime Minister will tackle the issue out of fear of backlash and accusations of racism.
“I don’t think Boris Johnson and the Cabinet are prepared to do what it takes and to face the criticism that they’ll get,” the Brexiteer told Julia Hartley-Brewer on talkRadio.
Writing in The Telegraph, Mr Farage said that statements from the government about trying to secure a deal with France to immediately return boat migrants “will remain hollow and meaningless until there is real political action,” adding: “it needs to come soon.”
The Brexit leader said that the British government cannot wait until after the ongoing “transition” period with the EU at the end of 2020 to get control of the migrant crisis, saying that the “time has come already to declare an emergency.”
“This would be far better than sending a few Royal Navy vessels into the Channel where, as things stand, they would simply join the Border Force and [Royal National Lifeboat Institution] in becoming a taxi service,” Farage explained.
Mr Farage said that the only way to solve the issue will be to follow the lead of former Australian prime minister Tony Abbott, who under his Operation Sovereign Borders policy halted illegal boat migration from by immediately returning boat migrants to the country they came from or to third-party states to have their asylum claims processed, with legitimate refugees housed in countries other than Australia at Australia’s expense.
“Like Abbott’s administration, Boris Johnson needs to make it clear that nobody who enters Britain illegally having arrived via France will qualify for refugee status. This is the only realistic solution,” Farage wrote.
The arch-Brexiteer said that the British public are increasingly seeing the failure of Boris Johnson’s government to stem the tide as a “national humiliation”, noting that the driving force behind the 2016 EU referendum was a desire for the United Kingdom to “control its borders properly”…..
