Nigel Farage fumes UK ‘being walked all over by foreign criminals’ | Politics | News

Britain is being “walked over” by foreign criminals because the country is still bound to rulings of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) Reform leader Nigel Farage has claimed.

The MP for Clacton took to X this morning to fume about two cases he branded “ludicrous.”

In a video he said: “So we have got an Albanian criminal, he’s deported form the UK. He comes back in illegally, he gets a Lithuanian girl pregnant and now we cant deport him because of article eight of the European Convention on Human Rights, which means his right to a family life and he can stay.”

He was referring to the case of Ardit Binaj, 32, from Albania, who first entered Britain illegally via a lorry in 2014, before being arrested the following year for burglary.

He was subsequently jailed for 30 months in 2016 and deported back to Albania six months early.

He managed to illegally re-entered the UK after just five months, in breach of the deportation order.

He married a Lithuanian woman and they had a child together while he worked illegally before he made a claim to the ECHR under Article 8 – the right to a family life.

Permission for him to remain in the UK was granted permission on the second attempt.

Mr Farage then highlighted the case of Gucci-wearing Dorian Puka in the same video.

He said: “We have got another Albanian – this is a proper wrongun – this bloke, he has been deported twice. He’s now driving round London in a Ferrari and we can’t get rid of him until his asylum claims is heard.

“We are literally being walked all over by foreign criminals and we are too useless and too gutless to do anything about it whatsoever and until we leave the European Convention on Human Rights, get it out of British law, leave that ludicrous foreign court, we will have criminals from all over the world making a total mockery of this country.

“If that is not enough to make you angry, then I don’t know what is.”

Puka, 28, has twice been jailed and deported from the UK for burglary offences, but has also been able to get back in illegally, in breach of the orders.

He has claimed asylum and the Home Office said it was powerless to deport him again until all legal avenues are exhausted on his claim.

In the meantime he has filmed himself driving a £300,000 Ferrari through the capital before uploading footage to Instagram and TikTok.
