Farage vows mass deportations to tackle small boats
The party's leader - Nigel Farage - has told The Times that there is a "massive crisis" in
the UK, which threatens national security and could lead to public disorder.
Under the plans, people could be arrested on arrival, detained on disused RAF bases
and, if agreements were reached, returned to Afghanistan, Eritrea and other countries
that are significant sources of new arrivals.

Nigel Farage pledges to deport small boat asylum seekers
Plans outlined by the Reform UK leader would see the country taken out of the European Convention on Human Rights.

Even though he previously said mass deportations would be impossible, this to me is the election equivalent of the big red bus during Brexit that promised extra millions would be spent on the NHS instead of going to the EU. Never mind that the Conservatives said they would do the same thing and failed - this is the policy that will appeal to all the potential Reform supporters out there who are fed up of Labour and the Conservatives.
As part of this, he (and many Conservatives) wish to take Britain out of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and do away with rights in order to tackle irregular migration. The real jump in migration (immigration) has been legal migration - which the Leave supporters told us was all bout control of borders, widening the pool where migrants could come from to beyond Europe's borders
We're on a slippery and unpleasant slope and we've been here before.
