UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 21 – Nigel Farage's Reform UK plans to halve crime by 2029 through overseas prison placements, new UK jails, and recruiting 30,000 police officers, costing £17.4 billion over five years.
- In London on Monday, Nigel Farage unveiled a plan to send the worst British criminals overseas as part of a six-week 'lawless Britain' campaign.
- Last month, the UK prison population reached 87,334, just 2,239 below capacity, and a Survation poll published by The Sun On Sunday found 49% believe Britain is ‘becoming a lawless country’.
- Policy documents show Reform UK's proposals include 10,000 overseas prison places at £250 million per year, pledge to recruit 30,000 police officers and add 30,000 prison places within five years.
- Supporters and critics diverged when a Government source said, `Farage's plans are 'fantasy thinking'`, while Thomas Kerr claimed Britain is 'becoming a lawless society'.
- Farage says the plan aims to halve crime by 2029, requiring the UK to leave the European Convention on Human Rights.
