A new world order enshrined in law. The
European Convention of Human Rights to
protect the refugees of the future.
Millions had run from the Nazis with
nowhere to go. Now those fleeing would
always have a home. For 70 years,
agreements like this have been part of
our national consensus until today.
as Nigel Farage sets out why he believes
walking into power means walking away
from the treaties of the past. All in
order to enable his plan to stop the
boats, a deterrent based on a promise to
remove over half a million illegal
migrants over the course of the next
parliament. The only way we will stop
the boats is by detaining and deporting
absolutely anyone that comes via that
route. And if we do that,
the boats will stop coming within days.
>> We will have to find.
>> He claims it's as simple as a binary
choice.
>> Whose side are you on? Are you on the
side of women and children being safe on
our streets?
Or are you on the side of outdated
international treaties backed up by a
series of dubious courts?
>> He wants you to think there is no bigger
issue. The mood in the country around
this issue
is a mix between total despair and
rising anger. In fact, I think there is
now as a result of this a genuine threat
to public order.
>> Everywhere echoes of President Trump.
>> As they say in America, I endorse this
message.
We're years from this ever potentially
needing to be implemented and there are
many questions about how it would work
in practice, but Nigel Farage has thrown
down the gauntlet. Should the system
drawn up after the Second World War to
protect refugees stay or be ripped up?
He says it's got to go, but will Tory
and Labour agree? The Tories widely
expected to announce similar in a few
weeks time.
>> Imitation is the sincerest form of
flattery. The fact is Nigel Farage is
copying our homework. We put out a
deportation bill in May. The stuff that
actually works and what he said has come
from there. But the truth is he is not
doing the thinking. We are. Labor agree
you need a deterrent to stop the boats,
but say their plan is preferable. Time
and time again across all of these
proposals, they begin to wilt under the
weight of the most simple of questions.
What the Labor government has put in
place is beginning to put in place a
plan that's beginning to work.
>> Mass deportations, a lawless society, a
bleak picture Nigel Farage hopes will
drive voters into the arms of reform.
How much will the other parties end up
agreeing? Sam Coat, Sky News.
