In short he shat it at pressure and walked back every statement he made in England to try and coo Scottish voters who are less anti immigration.
Anyone who trusts this man is gullible af.

Small boat crossings exploded after Brexit was implemented. Farage sold us Brexit to lower immigration, but it increased immigration so now he’s selling us something else to fix the problem his last plan caused. Snake oil salesman.
>Farage similarly rowed back on his proposal to renegotiate the Good Friday agreement after political parties in Northern Ireland condemned his comment as reckless and irresponsible.
> He said “the Northern Ireland situation is deeply complex” and “that will not be at the forefront of what we do”.
He needs to be reminded that ECHR Article 1 requires all convening states to apply the Convention to ALL individuals within its sovereign territory, while GFA requires Northern Ireland to be subjected to Strasbourg rulings. Therefore if he wants to exit the ECHR while abiding GFA, he should call for a border poll immediately and pressure the Unionist parties to boycott the poll – accelerating Irish unification in the process.

As he’s just trying to echo Trump should we now start just saying FACO to this shit?

The policy lasted what, a few days? Shocking incompetence.

Clown.
But his supporters won’t hear about the walk back.

He blames others for what he is doing now. Wonder what will be next.

Watch the media not cover this as much as they would the other two parties walking back something a literal day later….

For a man who’s been a single issue immigration candidate for about 30 years it’s astounding that he doesn’t even have a vague outline of a policy yet.
Even more astounding that people will still vote for him despite that.

“absolutely anyone” will be turned back.
Okay, I can see a boat physically being stopped and it being sent back.
But if he’s going to allow women and children into the country, how will he do that? Let the boats come ashore, take the women and children out and then… Send the boat out to sea?
Like everything else with this snake oil salesman – it all falls apart once he actually has to come up with processes and details.
Do not fall for this man. He is not the answer. I feel that the country will have to learn the hard way though.

This is why I will not vote for Reform / Farage. I want the boat crossings dealt with and also legal immigration significantly reducing but I do not trust the likes of Farage to actually do anything meaningful about it. He is a con man.

Perfect opportunity for a “rows back on” pun and they absolutely missed it…

The wildest thing is below this story on my Reddit feed is Starmer’s tweet about “illegal migrants will be deported”.
If Starmer’s government is deporting illegal migrants and Reform is already backtracking on their policies, remind me why we need Reform or Farage in charge?

He could say he’d murder everyone’s first born and it wouldn’t matter.
His fans have already chosen which parts of his ramblings they want to believe

He wants to frack your countryside. He wants to sell your NHS. He wants to take away your employment rights. Don’t let him anywhere near your government.

He never walked away, he just said its harder than it sounds because of all of the red tape. This is just more propaganda.

because he was pressed on the “how” and he crumbled. He’s trying to project himself as a strong man but if anybody looks into it he’s at best a paper tiger and at worst a piss soaked pile of bog roll.

So, after ‘Two-Tier Farage,’ he’s now ‘Flip-Flop Farage.’
Someone please explain to him that what he wants is Keir Starmer’s job, not Keir Starmer memes.

He has no power. Please let’s pull together and make sure he never does.
F*ck the Far(age)- Right.
Don’t let us become USA2.0.
Save our nation from people like him

That’s because it is illegal, impossible and outright stupid. He would have more success suggesting building a giant fence around the British isles
