Nigel Farage has promised the mass deportation of irregular migrants and to take the UK out of the European Convention on Human Rights.
The Reform UK leader said his party would also disapply the 1951 UN Refugee Convention for a five-year period, along with “any other barriers” that would prevent the deportation of irregular migrants to their home countries or a safe third country.
Speaking in Oxfordshire yesterday, Farage said urgent action was needed to tackle public concerns about irregular migration, which has risen up the political agenda amid protests over the use of hotels to house asylum seekers.
“We are not very far away from major civil disorder,” he said. “We have to leave the ECHR, no ifs, no buts . . . We have to repeal the Human Rights Act.”
The ECHR and the Human Rights Act, which require the courts to take into account rulings by the European Court of Human Rights, have been cited to block the deportation of asylum seekers.
