12 funniest reactions to the former UKIP leader being described as an International Border Control Expert
From the 28th of September 2017 to the 17th of February 2018, Henry Bolton was the leader of UKIP.
He was dropped after his romantic partner, Jo Marney, allegedly sent racist texts about Meghan Markle and non-British families from Grenfell Tower without losing his support.
His greatest achievement as leader was giving everybody a laugh when he claimed he could kill a badger with his bare hands.

After losing his position, he created his own UKIP-alike party, Our Nation, which only lasted from October 2018 to November 2019.
It’s hard to say what Bolton has been doing since then, but we very much doubt he’s been studying for a masters in International Border Control, or anything else to warrant this description, courtesy of Talk TV –
Scorn soon followed.

For some reason TalkTV somehow neglect to mention that this "International Border Control Expert" is in fact the former leader of UKIP. https://t.co/osLfgaGfzp

"Border Control Expert" – my arse!
That's the ex-UKIP Leader who had to resign over his much, much younger girlfriends racist remarks.

“Border control expert” absolutely laughable. Like calling an arsonist a Fire control consultant https://t.co/Jpf7hrFU1Q

He’s a failed politician and a failed army Corporal what makes you think he’s a border control expert? There’s me thinking @GBNEWS was the comedy gold news channel.

I think we’ve had quite enough of experts. Well, this one anyway.

One person may have got to the bottom of the almost certainly inaccurate description.
Where could this Henry Bolton "Border control expert" have come from"?
His LinkedIn quotes an unnamed OSEC Gen Sec: "World leading expert on national border strategies"
Search "World leading expert on national border strategies", only result is Henry Bolton's LinkedIn profile https://t.co/OuwYoZolaf pic.twitter.com/18SLACQJIW

He’s not an international border control expert. He’s a very naughty boy.
