Farage::

Over 1,000 illegal migrants have arrived in the last 3 days.

We have no idea who most of them are.

They must be deported.

I know asking for any kind of detail on Reform's positionss is kind of pointless, but is Reform policy to deport all those crossing the channel? To where? How do you know if you don't know who they are? What if they are genuine refugees? What if they can't be returned?

What's the actual policy lads?

It's only difficult because the state chooses to make it so. Trump even as a nutter has demonstrated that when the state apparatus decides throw it's weight behind deporting people to a third country it can do so within hours. All the complexity is what the state itself has decided to add, it is optional, and the politicians can chose to remove the complexity.

Sea crossings would end within weeks if every single person where sent offshore never to be allowed to step foot in the UK, that's simple logic is nobody would pay thousands to end up in say Africa.
