Farage accuses eastern European migrants of eating swans from London parks
Farage echoes Trump with claims immigrants are eating swans
- Nigel Farage, the leader of Reform UK, claims that Romanians in Britain are eating swans in royal parks and taking carp from ponds.
- In an LBC interview, he suggested these acts are committed by “people who come from countries where that’s quite acceptable”.
- His comments about swans drew parallels to US President Donald Trump's unsubstantiated claims about Haitian migrants eating pets in the US.
- Mr Farage also discussed a potential re-evaluation of paracetamol's safety, echoing claims made by Mr Trump linking it to autism without evidence, stating “the science is never settled”.
- Critics, including Wes Streeting and Helen Morgan, condemned Farage's paracetamol remarks as “anti-science” and “irresponsible”, accusing him of peddling dangerous agendas.
