Farage dismisses UK-France returns deal

ODN

Nigel Farage says the UK-France migrant returns deal “won’t make any difference” and will be blocked by human rights laws. He warned the European Convention on Human Rights would prevent deportations, claiming “lawyers will have a field day”. Farage added that the plan undermines Brexit, saying no one who crosses the Channel illegally should be granted refugee status or leave to remain. Report by Covellm.

00:00I don't think this so-called deal will make any difference at all.

00:04If we even try to deport people across the Channel, we will run straight into the European

00:09Convention on Human Rights as written into British law in the Human Rights Act.

00:14The lawyers will have a field day and find lots of reasons why people can't be deported.

00:19Whatever agreement happens at a summit, the fact is the law says that ECHR is higher than

00:27what the Prime Minister says.

00:28So I don't believe it will work.

00:30I believe the numbers will be very limited indeed, and even if it did work, where's the

00:35advantage to us?

00:36This is Brexit Britain.

00:37We voted to take back control of our borders, not to accept a deal given to us by a French

00:42President.

00:43Nobody who crosses the English Channel, illegally, in a boat, should ever be given refugee status,

00:50should ever be given leave to remain, and should be deported.

00:52And if we did that, it would stop within a fortnight.
