Nigel Farage has highlighted the case of Mada Passa, a migrant who is preparing to make a pilgrimage across the Channel this weekend.
He is one of the many thousands who will have made the perilous trip this year, with GB News today exclusively revealing an average of 135 small boats have crossed the English Channel each day of Labour’s 100 day of office.
Speaking to his legions of followers on X, the Reform UK leader highlighted the case of one who has made no secret of his intentions by posting a series of clips to TikTok.
Captioning the post with the question, “would you feel safe living next door to this man?”, Nigel said: “We obsess with the numbers. They’re being put up in hotels, private rented accommodation and social housing everywhere. People are furious.east 2 paragraphs

“What we never talk about is, who is actually coming? I’ve been saying for many years, they are young males of fighting age coming into our country, about whom we know very little.”
He then urged his followers to watch a clip, posted to TikTok by the migrant in question, where he is sat in Stockholm with a group of young women surrounding him.

PA“He is boastful and we would probably think making a bit of a fool of himself”, Nigel said.
“As for the ages of those women around him, I wouldn’t really like to speculate.”
The clip then shows the young man travelling through Europe, with Germany in his sights.
“They are in a highly excitable state. No prizes for guessing where they’re headed to”, the Reform boss added.

As the video progresses, the young man is left dismayed by French authorities squandering their opportunity to make the trip across the Channel.
But he is undeterred, as he is seen preparing himself for another attempt to cross the Channel on another day.
Perhaps the most shocking part of the clip is where he is seen posing with a gun, an image made more shocking by the firearm tattoo emblazoned across his face.
Addressing the stark image, Nigel said: “That’s right. A gun. Not just a gun tattooed onto his face, but an actual gun.
Migrants continue to cross the Channel GETTY“He will, without doubt, be in our country by the weekend. He won’t leave. He will be able to stay here for the rest of his life.
“That is almost 99 per cent certain. I know that I get condemned, I’ll be told that I’m being beastly, I’m being mean because he’s a poor refugee in need.
“You can see that he is none of those things. He’s here for a life to make money.
“He’s here to lord it over us folks. These are the sort of people crossing the English Channel. This has been allowed to happen by a Conservative government.
“The Labour Government will do nothing about it. Only Reform is determined to stop this.”
Labour has pledged to tackle the swathe of undocumented migrants washing up on Britain’s shores by “smashing the gangs”, something Sir Keir Starmer hopes can be achieved with the establishment of the Border Security Command.
Home Secretary Yvette Cooper set out the first steps towards setting up the body in July, saying it will eventually get to a stage where it will be able to draw together work of intelligence agencies, police, Immigration Enforcement and Border Force.
Labour have inherited the problems from a Conservative Government who failed to act sufficiently, but insisted their flagship Rwanda policy would eventually bear fruit.
The plan would have seen migrants arriving illegally shipped to the African country, something the Tories hoped would act as a deterrent for those considering making the trip across the Channel.
But Sir Keir Starmer was always outspoken in his criticism of the policy when he was in opposition, and he made his disdain clear by scrapping it within hours of winning the General Election in July.
