UKIP Leader Wants to Pay British Indians to Leave UK
Little India ^ | August 19, 2017 | Staff

The UK Independence Party (UKIP) leadership candidate, John Rees-Evans proposes to reduce “unnecessary population” by paying British Indians to leave the UK using the £12bn funds from the vital foreign aid budget.

Under the proposed scheme he wants to remove a million people every year using the foreign aid budget. The scheme would give dual-nationals £9,000 plus healthcare benefits to “return to their country of origin”, reported Daily Mirror.

Scheme Will Create Jobs in UK

He used examples of Indians and Tanzanians, to claim that his scheme would “create jobs in this country, reduce unnecessary population and reduce the strain on infrastructure in Britain.”

“We’ve got a lot of talented people, originally from Commonwealth countries, in our country who know how to run businesses who’d be perfectly capable of establishing trading relationships in their country of origin,” he said.

Talking about the “fast-track” scheme Evans said, “We would reduce the cost of living in this country and we’d incentivise people who are not doing particularly well in this country to leave and return to their country where they can create a thriving business and improve our lives here in Britain.”

Controversial Statements

This is not the first time Rees-Evans, one of the eleven candidates in the running for UKIP leadership role has given a controversial statement. In 2014 he accused, ‘a gay donkey of trying to rape his horse.’ He received huge backlash for his anti-gay comments.

“Luckily this ridiculous idea from the fourth placed favorite candidate of a party clearly on the skids which smacks of attention-grabbing desperation is going nowhere,” Indian-origin Labour MP Rupa Huq said speaking to Daily Mirror.

But Rees-Evans, unfazed by the criticism told supporters, “It’s not going to be draconian, it’s not going to be fascist. I’m not interested in using eugenics or any evil things like that,” reported Daily Mirror.

Instead of the dual nationals, maybe they should start with the recent illegals and refugees?

Why not instead get rid of the knife-wielding, car-ramming, meat cleaving muslims most of whom are on welfare?

Well, maybe it would be OK, as long as they kick the muzzies out WITHOUT payment.

Kicking out British nationals because they are of Indian descent is textbook racism. No wonder UKIP has a bad reputation.

There is a lot of “refugee” trash in London. I was there the day Kosovo declared it’s independence. What a mess that was.

Stupid jacka$$ liberal. He should be paid to leave the UK, and all others that think as he does.

The Indians?!?!

Too stupid for words.

The Indians have been some of the most loyal citizens of the UK for over 100 years.

India is such a part of British history, this is horrible. Guess they must not be too fond of us either...

OK, so he’s a party leadership candidate. We’ll see how THAT goes!

maybe he’s just using Indians as a neutral example. If he’d said muslims or Somalians or similar, he wouldn’t have even been able to get his idea out

For here, Haitian refugee status is about to officially end. So, we look at what we give Haiti in foreign aid, slice off some for the refugee repatriots, and send them home with a check.

Indians instead of Pakistanis? I know that “Asian” in Britain refers to the Indian subcontinent. Yet, unless I’m misinformed, the “Asian” problem in Britain nearly always is Muslims from Pakistan, not Hindus from India. In fact, the fact that Indians and Pakistanis/Bangladeshis share the same history, culture, languages, food, etc. Just one Big Thing really separates them. I wonder what that is.

Consider the source of the article—Little India. I suspect that there is more to this story that is not being reported.

You beat me to it! The people from India probably aren’t a problem. If the UK quits importing Muzzies, they would solve a lot of their problems.

Even the muslins from India are generally no problem.

As Enoch Powell suggested. Although Indians at least have a claim of being former Imperial/Commonwealth subjects. The Pakis should go first.
