Nigel Farage has claimed that Eastern European migrants are stealing and eating swans from Royal Parks in Britain as he highlights major cultural differences being imported due to mass immigration.
The comments came as he was challenged over his defence of Donald Trump last year, when the Reform UK leader insisted that the then-Republican candidate would likely be proved right after claiming that illegal immigrants from Haiti have been eating dogs.
LBC’s Nick Ferrari played back Mr Farage’s previous defence of the US president’s claim, in which he said Mr Trump would likely be proved correct within a month.
Mr Farage said: “Whenever he says something like this that sounds absolutely crackers, in the end there always proves to be some truth in it.”
The pair put £10 on whether Mr Trump would be proved right within a month of making the comment, which received backlash in the US.
Asked whether he can prove it’s now happened, Mr Farage said he would pay Ferrari if he could prove it hasn’t happened.
Mr Farage hit back: “If I said to you that swans were being eaten in Royal Parks in this country, that carp were being taken out of ponds and being eaten, by people who come from cultures that have a different … would you agree it’s happening here?”
Ferrari conceded that he had heard about carp being stolen from ponds.
Asked who was doing the theft, Mr Farage suggested the migrants are from Eastern Europe.
