Nigel Farage has warned that Britain’s illegal migration “nightmare is just beginning”, accusing Westminster of failing to grasp the damage caused by successive governments.
Speaking to the Daily Express during a visit to Essex this week, the Reform UK leader said: “The impact of the huge errors of both the Tory and Labour governments are being felt by ordinary people in their tens of millions across the country.”
His warning followed the jailing of failed asylum seeker Mehmet Bulut, who arrived by small boat in 2022, for an attempted rape in Hereford.
Farage also raised the alarm about asylum seekers being housed alongside vulnerable women, including young single mothers and even the victims of domestic abuse.
He added: “Hundreds of young men, not in migrant hotels, in HMOs, which means living in your street.”
In Essex, Reform-led county council security patrols under Operation Vanguard are helping reassure residents near Wethersfield asylum centre.
“Wethersfield is an abomination”, Farage said. “And there’s 17 minibuses every day bussing them out, ‘come on out on a free day trip, boys’.”
Praising the guards, he said: “They’re actually fighting crime. They’re stopping shoplifters. They’ve stopped a sexual assault.”
Farage promised that a Reform government would act: “People here illegally will be deported. They shouldn’t be here.”
“People who come here legally, but offend, shouldn’t be here. They should go.”
Acknowledging the scale of the task, he added: “I can’t wave a magic wand, I can’t turn the clock back, but I can make it a lot better than it is.”
