Foreign criminals have been writing to the Reform UK leader Nigel Farage begging to be “deported” back to their own countries.
Farage revealed that numerous “letters have been arriving” at his office and he joked on GB News that he is the “deporter-in-chief.”
Farage said on GB News, “For the last few weeks, letters have been arriving in my office. I was quite surprised to see one from His Majesty’s Prison Full Sutton.
It says ‘I’m a foreign national prisoner. I’ve been sentenced to 15 years and six months for GBH with intent’, which I think means he’s a gangster. ‘Why won’t you deport me?
“Please get rid of me. You’d save huge amounts of money.’”
The Reform UK leader read out another letter on GB New from a prisoner originally from India, Farage said, “I got a one from an Indian, and he writes to me from HMP Ashfield.
“He says ‘I only came on a one-year visa, but I’ve been in prison now for two years. Please deport me’.
He makes the point that there are hundreds of foreign national prisoners like him who want to be deported.
Reading a third letter he said, “Another one came in today from Spain. ‘Please deport me, I haven’t seen my wife and kids for the last three years’.”
Farage asked, “Why they’re all writing to me? I suppose they must see me as deporter-in-chief or something like that!”
He added, “But it’s interesting that overnight, clearly these letters to me, there’s obviously a campaign of some kind going on because overnight the Government have announced they will start to deport foreign criminals rather more quickly.
“At the moment, we don’t deport people until they’re down to the last 18 months or so of the sentence they’re going to serve.”
Farage finished saying, “But I just wonder, you know, will this ever actually happen?
“Will it be enacted? Will we start to get rid of people earlier? And why don’t we just get rid of them on day one?”
