Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has revealed he “hopes and prays” that the UK deports the small boat migrant who threatened to kill him.
Mr Farage, who appeared at Southwark Crown Court yesterday, released a three-minute response video to the verdict during his visit to Caerphilly in Wales.
“I just hope and pray that he is deported to Sweden to fight this case,” Mr Farage said.
“My big fear was, at some point, maybe very soon, he’d be out free on the streets.”
Mr Farage’s reaction comes just two hours after jurors found 26-year-old Afghan Fayaz Khan guilty of making a threat to kill the leader of Reform UK.
Khan, who is also known by his TikTok name Mada Pasa, appeared to tell his 340,000 followers: “Englishman Nigel… don’t talk s**t about me.
“I come to England because I want to marry your sister. I want to come to England to go pop pop pop.”
The 26-year-old, who has AK-47 tattoo on his face, made 10 attempts to reach Britain via small boat before finally crossing the Channel on October 31 last year.
Khan refused to provide evidence to Southwark Crown Court during the trial.
However, jurors heard the small boat migrant tell police officers that he “didn’t know who Nigel Farage was” and that he “was never going to hurt anyone”.
