The GB News presenter said nationalities of criminals should be reveaked

Nigel Farage has said the government should publish figures showing the nationality of criminals in UK prisons, following in the footsteps of Denmark.

Speaking on GB News, Nigel Farage said:

“I'm not suggesting for one moment that everybody that comes here from Iraq or Syria or Kuwait, or wherever it may be, are all bad people. What I'm saying is, we have a lax border policy.

"When you allow illegals to come in and stay, the criminal gangs see richer pickings in our countries than where they come from, in some cases where they might get their hands cut off.

“We've opened the doors in Western Europe to mass criminality. Denmark are brave enough to publish the figures. Sweden prohibits by law the media even discussing the background or ethnicity of perpetrators of horrible, violent or sexual crimes.

“And in this country, everyone stays schtum. If you can’t get the figures, you don't know the truth.

“But you know, and I know, in London that the bad guys from Romania, the bad guys from the Middle East, have flocked to our country in numbers. You cannot now walk down the street in Chelsea, as a woman, wearing expensive jewellery. No one does it anymore. These figures are absolutely shocking.

“I know that our critics will say we’re being racist. We're not. There’s a reason I put this out. We're just representing the facts; it is appalling.

“Many of these young men who come from those countries come from a culture where women aren't even second-class citizens. Where sexual exploitation and abuse of all kinds, is, frankly mainstream.

“And they're coming into a country where, and we've been more progressive than most actually over the years, we find this unacceptable. They refuse to assimilate, they refuse to integrate, they bring their cultures with them, but it can't be discussed.

“It can’t be discussed as it's too awful, it's too difficult and of course, it’s racist. Remember, anyone that discusses it is far right, and therefore evil and bad and wrong.

“And so, we're prepared to allow British female citizens to suffer at the hands of these bad people that come from these countries. Not all bad people, from these countries, I reemphasize that point. We'd rather shut up and let native populations suffer than tell the truth.

“You’ve got no chance of a parliamentary debate on this. No chance. Sir Edward Leigh might get up and say something. But virtually nobody else in the whole House of Commons dares to get up.

“If these figures were published in this country, then frankly, the Conservatives poll ratings would tank even from the current low levels because they've allowed this to happen under 14 years of their tenure."
