Defiant Farage Challenges Zealous Lockdown Cops, Continues Reporting on Illegal Migration by VICTORIA FRIEDMAN for Breitbart
Nigel Farage, undeterred by police warnings, has returned to England’s south-east coast, saying that he has “witnessed first hand our Border Force acting as a taxi service for illegal migrants”. He has also lodged a complaint against Kent Police for the late-night visit they paid him for reporting on the immigration crisis.
After Kent Police visited Nigel Farage to warn him against “unnecessary travel” during the lockdown, the Brexit Party leader returned on Thursday to Dover to report on the regular arrivals of illegal migrants being brought ashore by UK Border Force.
There have been known cases of coronavirus at French migrant camps. Mr Farage has warned that while Britons are forced into lockdown, both legal and illegal immigration continues, threatening to allow new cases of Chinese coronavirus into the country.

“This is an important issue,” Mr Farage said during a video posted on social media. “Three thousand two hundred people came into the United Kingdom via this route since the beginning of 2018. In the last 16 months, 2,500 people came in through Dover. Only 155 have been returned.”
He added that “every single day we get calm conditions, one or two or more boats come. Three thousand two hundred people arrived since 2018. But the pace this year is accelerating. Unless we do something, then I’m afraid we’ll finish up with many, many thousands this year alone.”
I returned to film on the Kent coast this morning.
Every time I witness more illegal migrants arriving with help from the Border Force.
