Reform UK’s Nigel Farage Testifies at the Trial of Afghan Illegal Immigrant Who Threatened His Life Online

Chilling video.

Political violence is on the rise around the world, and in the United Kingdom, it morphs with the wider phenomenon of migrant violence, which is a big scourge in British society.

One of the potential targets of this violence is Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, the Brexit hero heading the populist party that is leading all opinion polls in Britain.

Farage told a court on Tuesday that an Afghan migrant’s TikTok video menacing him while making apparent gun gestures was ‘chilling’.

Reuters reported:

“Fayaz Khan, a 26-year-old Afghan national, is standing trial at Southwark Crown Court in London, charged with making a threat to kill Farage in a video posted on TikTok in October 2024.

Prosecutor Peter Ratliff said Khan was attempting to travel to Britain last year, a journey he documented on social media where he had a large following.”

It all began a year ago, when Farage posted a video about migrants attempting to travel to Britain, including clips from videos that Khan had posted of his journey.

“Two days later, Khan – who has a tattoo of an AK-47 assault rifle on his face – posted a response telling ‘Englishman Nigel’ to delete his video and said ‘pop, pop, pop’ while making gun gestures with his hand, Ratliff told jurors.

The prosecutor also said some of Khan’s social media posts ‘suggested he had access to firearms’.”

“Khan’s lawyer Charles Royle suggested to Farage that Khan’s video ‘suits your narrative’, to which Farage replied: ‘It doesn’t suit my narrative, it’s a fact’.”
