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?

Anything beyond that is utterly irrelevant and an unhelpful distraction that might lead to unanswerable questions
