Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has proposed sending some prisoners overseas to serve their sentences, as part of a raft of measures he says would create around 30,000 prison places and cost -u17.4bn.

Speaking at an event in London, he also announced plans to build five prisons, return foreign prisoners to their country of origin, and recruit 30,000 police officers.

Farage said the UK was "facing nothing short of societal collapse" and that a Reform government would halve crime in five years.

Labour said the policies were "unfunded" - while the Conservatives accused Farage of offering "tough talk without the faintest idea how to deliver it".

Asked after his speech how the policies would be funded, Farage said tax rises would not be needed and that Reform was "advocating cutting huge amounts of public spending," including the HS2 rail project and net-zero policies.

He said crime costed the British economy -u170bn, adding: "It isn't really a question of can we afford to do this - it is really a question of can we afford not to do this?"

Reform UK estimates its proposals would cost -u17.4bn over five years, with an annual cost of -u3.48bn.

Plans to hire more police officers make up -u10.5bn of the overall bill.

Farage said a Reform government would want to see a "higher and physically tougher standard of police officer on our streets".

Asked about this measure on Matt Chorley on 5 Live, Reform MP Sarah Pochin said: "I never like to see two female police officers out together... I'd much rather see a great big strapping male police officer with a female."

"I think they look vulnerable, but that's just my opinion," she said.

She added: "But there's 100% a place for women police officers.

"We need them to go out to certain, perhaps more sensitive situations - situations where children are involved, situations where battered wives are involved or battered girlfriends, that type of thing."

In order to create more prison spaces, Farage said his party would spend -u5bn to build and operate five new low-security 'Nightingale' prisons on Ministry of Defence land, creating 12,400 spaces for "lower category offenders".

The Nightingale label is a reference to the network of emergency temporary hospitals set up during the Covid pandemic.

Farage said he would be willing to force Reform-run councils to accept new prisons in their area, adding that it would bring well paid jobs to local communities.

Reform is also proposing to create 10,400 places by transferring foreign prisoners to their country of origin. In exchange, the UK would be prepared to accept British offenders serving sentences abroad, he said.

A further 10,000 prison places could be found by sending serious offenders to serve their sentences abroad at an estimated cost of -u1.25bn, the party says.

Farage said his party would consider multiple locations and pointed to Kosovo, Estonia and El Salvador as possibilities, although when pressed on the central American country's human rights record, he said it was an "extreme example".

Earlier this year, the El Salvadorian President offered to take prisoners in the US - including those with American citizenship - and house them in El Salvador's mega-jail.

Other countries have pursued similar arrangements - in 2021 Denmark agreed to pay Kosovo an annual fee of -u12.8m for an initial five-year period to rent 300 of their prison spaces.

Successive UK governments have reportedly explored the idea of sending prisoners to Estonia.

The BBC has been told that both former Conservative ministers and current Labour ones came to the view that such a plan would be very expensive.

In September of last year, the government said it was "making no such plans or announcements in relation to Estonian prison places".

A growing prison population, coupled with a lack of new prisons, has put pressure on the system.

According to the most recent figures, there are 87,835 people in prison in England and Wales, while the useable operational capacity stands at 89,582.

Last year, the Prison Governors' Association warned that prisons were days away from running out of space, leading to the government letting some inmates out of prison early.

Responding to the speech, Labour Party chair Ellie Reeves said Reform was "more interested in headline-chasing than serious policy-making in the interests of the British people."

She added that Labour was "backing up its word with action," pointing to the party's plan to hire 13,000 more police officers and community support officers by the time of the next election in 2029.

Conservative shadow chancellor Mel Stride said: "This isn't a manifesto - it's a fantasy.

"Farage's numbers are billions out. You don't halve crime with wishful thinking. You do it with a real plan, real costs, and real leadership."

Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey said: "I don't follow the words of Nigel Farage very closely. They're normally stuff written on the back of a fag packet."

He added that one of the best ways to tackle crime was "to make sure we have far more community police officers - that's what Liberal Democrats would do".

Be careful what you say and who you say it to! It might be okay today but tomorrow is another day.

The Power of Mockery...

The Mockery Machine: Why Authoritarians Fear and Ridicule Conspiracy Theorists

In todayrCOs world, the term rCLconspiracy theoristrCY often conjures images of eccentric individuals clutching cryptic notes and spouting improbable scenarios. While these stereotypes may seem harmless or even humorous, they serve a much darker purpose: undermining those who dare to question official narratives. Mockery is not just a social phenomenon; itrCOs a deliberate tactic used by authoritarians and elites to silence dissent, manipulate public perception, and maintain control.

LetrCOs dive into why this strategy is so effective, how it has evolved, and how we can resist its grip on society.
The Origin of the rCLConspiracy TheoristrCY Label

The term rCLconspiracy theoristrCY wasnrCOt always a derogatory label. Historically, it referred to anyone who proposed that events or circumstances might result from secretive or coordinated efforts. However, in the 20th century, the term was weaponized to discredit dissenters.

A pivotal moment came in the wake of President John F. KennedyrCOs assassination in 1963. The CIA, in response to skepticism surrounding the Warren CommissionrCOs findings, issued a memo (later declassified) encouraging the use of rCLconspiracy theoristrCY as a dismissive term. This strategy aimed to marginalize those questioning the narrative, framing them as irrational or untrustworthy.
Why Tyrants Fear Conspiracy Theorists

Tyrants and oppressive regimes thrive on control, and their greatest fear is losing it. Conspiracy theorists, by challenging official narratives and encouraging skepticism, pose a significant threat.

Disrupting the Official Story...

Authoritarian regimes rely on carefully crafted stories to maintain their legitimacy. Conspiracy theorists expose inconsistencies, forcing others to question what theyrCOre being told.

Encouraging Independent Thought...

Conspiracy theorists inspire others to think critically and seek alternative explanations. This undermines the rCLtrust usrCY approach of authoritarian figures.

Exposing Real Conspiracies...

While not all theories hold water, history has proven that some conspiracies are real. From government surveillance programs to corporate malfeasance, these revelations often start with skeptical individuals piecing together clues.

The Power of Mockery...

Mockery is one of the most effective tools for silencing dissent. It turns legitimate questions into punchlines and makes the act of questioning authority seem laughable. HererCOs how it works:

The Tin Foil Hat Trope...

The enduring image of conspiracy theorists as tin foil hat-wearers suggests paranoia and absurdity. This caricature trivializes their concerns and dismisses them without addressing their arguments.

Stigmatizing Skepticism...

When someone is labeled a rCLconspiracy theorist,rCY they are often viewed as irrational or unhinged. This stigma discourages others from engaging with their ideas or questioning the status quo themselves.

Mockery as a Social Weapon...

Public ridicule isolates dissenters, discouraging open dialogue. ItrCOs easier to laugh at someone than to consider the validity of their arguments, especially when society has been conditioned to associate questioning authority with absurdity.

The MediarCOs Role in Perpetuating Ridicule...

Mainstream media amplifies the mockery of conspiracy theorists through selective representation and sensationalism.

Highlighting the Fringe...

Media outlets often focus on the most extreme or bizarre theories, ignoring legitimate questions or concerns. This creates a false equivalency, where all dissenters are painted with the same brush.

Framing Dissent as Dangerous...

Increasingly, questioning authority is framed not as skepticism but as spreading rCLmisinformationrCY or even posing a threat to public safety. This shifts the narrative from ridicule to outright hostility.

Psychological Tactics Used to Dismiss Dissent...

The mockery machine employs several psychological tactics to marginalize conspiracy theorists and discredit their ideas.

Gaslighting...

By dismissing dissenters as rCLparanoidrCY or rCLdelusional,rCY those in power make individuals question their own perceptions and judgments.

Fear of Social Rejection...

Ridicule leverages our natural desire for acceptance, discouraging people from exploring controversial ideas for fear of being ostracized.

Normalizing Dismissal...

Society has been conditioned to laugh at conspiracy theorists without engaging with their arguments, creating a culture where skepticism is suppressed before it can even begin.

Why This Matters...

Mockery and ridicule are not just about silencing conspiracy theoristsrCotheyrCOre about controlling the population. By turning the public against those who question authority, tyrants maintain their grip on power.

History has shown us that dissent is vital for progress. Many truths that were once dismissed as rCLcrazyrCY or rCLimpossiblerCY have been vindicated over time. ItrCOs a reminder that skepticism is not the enemy; itrCOs a cornerstone of a healthy, questioning society.
Breaking Free from the Mockery Machine

Recognize the Manipulation...

Understand that ridicule is a deliberate tactic to suppress critical thinking and dissent.

Focus on Evidence...

Encourage reasoned debates based on facts and credible research rather than stereotypes or assumptions.

Support Open Dialogue...

Create spaces for respectful discussion where ideas can be shared and challenged without fear of ridicule.

Educate Yourself and Others...

Knowledge is the best defense against manipulation. Learn about psychological tactics, historical examples, and the importance of skepticism.

Why Memes Terrify the Powerful...

The Battle Against Propaganda in the Digital Age. This deep dive reveals how humor, imagery, and social media are challenging traditional propaganda in ways that even the most powerful regimes struggle to contain.

Conclusion...

Ridicule may be a powerful tool, but itrCOs one that can be countered with awareness and collective resistance. By recognizing the tactics used to suppress dissent, fostering critical thinking, and building communities that value open dialogue, we can challenge the mockery machine and empower those who dare to question authority.

It is generally accepted that Starmer is the worst ever Prime Minister.

He is widely known for lying all the time.

Most of his Shadow Cabinet lied in their CVs - some committing criminal offences in doing so. It is being reported that one has been warned
that he will be prosecuted if he does it again.

Immigration to blame for rise in rapes, Farage claims

Immigration is to blame for the sharp rise in rapes and sexual assaults, Nigel Farage has claimed.

The Reform UK leader for the first time directly linked rising rates of sex offences to rCLwholly irresponsiblerCY increases in immigration.

rCLThere is an alarming parallel between the extraordinary increase in the number of reported rapes and the wholly irresponsible immigration and asylum policies pursued by first Labour and then by Conservative Governments,rCY said Mr Farage.

His comments came at a London press conference to announce that a top former detective who spearheaded a series of high profile murder investigations will join Reform UK as its adviser on police and crime.

Colin Sutton, a former Scotland Yard detective who led the investigation into serial killer Levi Bellfield, is to help Reform develop its pledge to halve crime in five years. It is part of a six-week campaign by the party over the summer to promote its policies on law and order.
Migration and sexual violence

Mr Farage said one of the themes of the campaign would be migrant crime in the wake of the protests at The Bell Hotel in Epping, Essex. They were sparked after an asylum seeker from Ethiopia living there was charged with sexual assault, harassment and inciting a girl to engage in sexual activity.

Data published on Monday also showed that 40 per cent of people charged for sexual offences in London were foreign nationals, according to Metropolitan Police data released under freedom of information laws.

The figures showed foreign nationals were behind 2,809 of the 7,798 alleged crimes recorded in the capital since 2018 rCo despite making up less than a quarter of the cityrCOs population. The number of annual sexual offence charges recorded in London has almost doubled in that period.

Mr Farage said the summer campaign would focus on the rCLdirect linkrCY between migrants including illegal Channel arrivals and rCLthe rise of sexual violence against women and girls in this country.rCY

rCLI donrCOt think any of the young men that cross the English Channel should be free to walk our streets. I think not just the risk of getting involved in the illegal economy [but also] the risk to girls, elderly women, the terrorism risk,rCY he said.

rCLI donrCOt believe that anybody that crosses by a small boat should be able to be put in a four star hotel, put into a house of multiple occupancy and free to roam the streets. I go further than that. I donrCOt know that anybody that crosses by that route should ever be eligible to get refugee status.rCY
rCyDystopian powersrCO

At the press conference, Reform also pledged that one of their first acts if it won the election would be to repeal the Online Safety Act because of the threat it posed to free speech.

Zia Yusuf, the head of the partyrCOs DOGE unit, claimed that clauses within the Bill gave unprecedented rCLdystopianrCY powers to ministers to be able to order the regulator Ofcom to rewrite rules on free speech.

Mr Farage said a Reform government would ensure children were protected from online harms to prevent a repeat of Molly Russell, the 14 year old who took her life after being bombarded with suicide and self harm content. rCLBut when it comes to legislation, the road to hell can be paved with good intentions,rCY he said.

rCLAnd if the result of an attempt by the last government to stop cases like Molly Russell from happening finishes up with genuine open debate and free speech able to be erased at the stroke of a pen from one minister without any checks from Ofcom or from anybody else, then we find ourselves in a worse place.rCY

He admitted his party did not have rCLa perfect answerrCY for what could replace the Online Safety Act, but said his party had rCLmore access to some of the best tech brains, not just in the country but in the worldrCY and would rCLmake a much better job of itrCY.

Mr Farage also criticised an advert for a rCLShariah law administratorrCY vacancy promoted on a Government jobs website. rCLI didnrCOt think Sharia courts were permitted under the law as it stands at the moment,rCY he said.

rCLThis is the extent of the total surrender of the values that have built this country, the Judeo Christian culture that underpins this country, and we still have an established Church of England.

rCLWerCOve always been tolerant of Jewish communities coming to settle in this country, all sorts of faiths coming to settle in in this country. But it seems when it comes to those of the Islamic faith that want to push and push and push and in some cases even have the ambition to overtake the existing culture.rCY

Council threatens legal action over migrants being housed in seaside hotels

The council said that the housing of migrants in five hotels in Skegness is damaging trade and tourism in the area.

Another local authority has threatened legal action over the housing of
asylum seekers in hotels and accused the Home Office of persistently
breaking planning rules.

East Lindsey District Council has submitted a pre-action letter to the Home Office, in which it labelled the use of five hotels in Skegness to house migrants as having rCLcaused substantial harmrCY and said it was done without consent.

The council said that it is considering pursuing a legal review to halt what
it believes is an unlawful use of hotels in rCLthe prime tourist arearCY of the town to house asylum seekers, which it claimed is hampering the arearCOs economy.
