Nigel Farage: Royal Marines should take migrants back to French beaches

The Royal Marines should be deployed to pick up migrants in the Channel and take them back to French beaches, Nigel Farage has said as he urged for the UK to do “whatever it takes” to tackle the small boats crisis. 

The Reform UK party said it would cause “a hell of a row” with the French but added it would be the most effective way of preventing migrants paying smugglers to cross the Channel. 

Farage travelled into French waters to highlight the “unacceptable” practice of French warships escorting migrant boats into UK territorial waters.
