Nigel Farage and the migrant scapegoat

Will the populist Nigel Farage once be Prime Minister of His Majesty, elected on his promises to dry up immigration? A basic wave in the United Kingdom tends to make the migrants responsible for all evils, following excruciating various facts but also of Brexit disappointments. Farage and his new party, Reform UK, set aside the polls, giving them ahead of the Prime Minister’s plowing, Keir Starmer. In principle, fortunately, legislative elections were only planned for 2029 …

Farage, who presents himself in his meetings pint of beer in hand, seduces a young and male electorate on Tiktok but also a middle class of small cities and campaigns that feel downgraded and misunderstood. Divorce standard carrier with Europe, he was then more discreet until his recent return to the head of the Reform UK party, accusing the conservative Boris Johnson of having “betrayed” Brexit by letting immigrants in hundreds of thousands.

In addition to his outrageousness, as to accuse migrants to “eat our swans” – recalling a formula of his mentor Trump on Haitians – he promises massive evictions and affirms that more than 50 % of legally present immigrants “do not work, have not worked and probably will never work”. He advocates cutting the aids to them and questions the ILR (indefinite leave to remain, the right to remain indefinitely), which would force them to ask for visas which would only be granted to drops for qualified high income jobs.

In front of the Westminster Parliament was held, on September 10, 2025, a monster demonstration above which the English and British flags floated, proof that this speech carries. Labor Keir Starmer has seriously informed and hardened his fight against illegal immigration, especially that coming from France by the English Channel.

The British (and American) example confirms this: the migrant migrant has become the first electoral argument in our democracies, including those deemed to be the most tolerant.
