Farage: We’ll Turn Asylum Barracks into Detention Camps – No More Migrants Free to Roam British Towns

Nigel Farage has declared that Reform UK will turn army bases used to house asylum seekers into proper detention camps from day one, banning illegal migrants from freely roaming into British towns and villages to protect the public.

Farage Visits Crowborough Camp

During a visit to Crowborough in East Sussex, where an army training camp now houses up to 400 asylum seekers, Nigel Farage said locals are not worried about the secure base itself, but about the fact migrants are “free to roam” with numbers growing daily.

Emergency Legislation Promised

Mr Farage said Reform would introduce emergency legislation to declare the situation a national emergency, making all asylum claims by illegal arrivals inadmissible. This would allow immediate detention and fast-track deportation, bypassing human rights laws and the ECHR if necessary.

“Young Men Should Not Be Free to Walk the Streets”

“Young men who come into Britain illegally, about whom we know nothing, should not be free to walk the streets,” Farage said. He highlighted cultural differences and the risk of sexual assaults, terrorism and social problems.

Reform UK Will Deliver Real Border Control

Reform UK is the only party with the courage to say what millions of British people are thinking. While Labour and the Tories talk tough but deliver nothing, Reform will stop the boats, end the hotel scandal, and put British safety first. Nigel Farage is right – this is a national emergency that demands decisive action.

What This Means for Britain

British towns like Crowborough are being changed forever by uncontrolled illegal migration. Locals are fed up with seeing their communities transformed while politicians look the other way. Reform’s plan to detain illegal arrivals in secure facilities and deport them sends the clear message that Britain is no longer a soft touch.

With local elections coming up fast, this is exactly the bold, common-sense leadership the country needs. Enough is enough – time to put British people and British communities first.
