We can see Nigel Farage walking out there of the court
0:05
Let's listen in and see what the leader of the Reform Party has to say
0:08
about this astonishing sentencing, this small boat might. Well, I suppose we call that a win
0:13
It was about the maximum sentence that could possibly have been given five years
0:19
given the scale of the offence. And I thank Justice Stein, I thank the judge for saying what she said
0:27
But the fact is that in 18 months' time, this violent criminal, somebody with 17 convictions in Sweden, in 18 months' time, he will be in this country, living in a house of multiple occupancy or a hotel
0:49
He'll be free to walk the streets whilst his asylum claim is being judged
0:54
and the only reason we know about this guy is because somebody sent it to me on TikTok
1:00
and it makes me wonder how many other Madder Passers are there now in this country
1:06
or will there be as the boats continue to cross the Channel? So I'm pleased with the judgement
1:11
but deeply, deeply concerned that this guy will be out free in 18 months
1:17
A strange twist at the end when he was after the sentence
1:21
and he was speaking from the dock trying to be heard making it perfectly clear that he'd rather go back to Afghanistan
1:30
Now in Germany there are plane loads of people going back to Afghanistan I wonder if in 18 months time the only thing that stops him being on our streets is we have some kind of deal with Afghanistan
1:42
I doubt it, but at least it's a possibility, and the Germans have shown us what they can do
1:49
So I've got mixed feelings. It was right to bring this case
1:53
I'm happy with the sentence. I'm happy with the win. But I repeat, in 18 months' time
1:58
this violent criminal will be free on our streets. Thank you. Sorry
2:05
Well, he wants to be deported. He said he'd rather go back to Afghanistan
2:09
You know, I mean, that's what he wants to do and we should satisfy that as soon as we can
2:13
Are there any other dangers to be reforming peace? It's dangerous. Well, I think, you know, being a Member of Parliament
2:20
as we've seen over the course of the last decade, can be dangerous for all sorts of people
2:24
Do you agree with the court's finding that he wasn't the, quote, dangerous offender? Well, I think most of the 17 offences were drugs, dishonesty
2:35
quite how you define dangerous, I don't know. But look, it was still a pretty harsh sentence
2:44
given many of the other things that we see in British courts. Just one more, his reaction at the end levelled a barrage of swear words at you
2:51
of accusations against you. Yes. What was your reaction in court? Were you shaken by that
2:55
in the same way you were shaking my head? Well, in 18 months' time, when he's out free
2:59
and there's no order, there's no restraining order on him, I'll be very thoughtful again
3:05
Thank you, everybody. Well, there, an impromptu press conference from the..
