The police warned Nigel Farage about non-essential travel and he wasn’t a happy bunny
Nigel Farage has been popping up a lot recently, having made a video on a beach warning us about immigration – shock, horror – as well as the #ClapForCarers one that got him panned.
On Monday, he posted another clip in which he made allegations about illegal immigration.
I witnessed first hand our Border Force acting as a taxi service for illegal migrants in Dover this morning. This scandal continues and people have got every right to be angry about it. pic.twitter.com/1uwqIQyjJu

Author, Nick Pettigrew, pointed out a flaw in his allegation.
Isn't it weird that none of the details he mentions – the 10 people, baby, ambulance, etc that he somehow manages to see from half a mile away – is captured on the camera (which appears to have a zoom) he's brought with him for that exact purpose?
Almost like he's full of shit. https://t.co/pmHiSXIFOY— Nick Pettigrew (@Nick_Pettigrew) May 4, 2020
But most people just wanted to know why he was out doing non-essential things during a lockdown.
Not sure what Nigel's doing out.
Last time I checked, masquerading as a low rent, meat puppet approximation of Enoch Powell doesn't qualify you as a key worker. https://t.co/HsAJowhX5p

Was this jolly to the seaside an essential journey?

A few hours later, there was a development.
Lockdown lunacy.
Two police officers just knocked on my door to advise me on essential travel.
They had received a complaint that I had been to Dover to report on the illegal migrant scandal taking place.
What a total waste of time and money.

Twitter had thoughts on that, too.
Turns out popping out to do a racism *doesn't* count as exercise, huh. Who could have known. https://t.co/ExFEsbop8Y

Exactly. Why would anyone willingly waste police time by putting others in danger whilst driving around the country doing an alan partrdige info wars nonsense
