BREAKING: Man jailed for FIVE years for Farage kill threat
BBC ^ | Oct 14 | BBC

Posted on 10/14/2025 4:11:18 AM PDT by RandFan

A man who came to the UK on a small boat and threatened to kill Nigel Farage has been jailed for five years.

Fayaz Khan, 26, made a gun gesture with his hand, pointed to an AK-47 tattoo on his face and named the Reform UK leader in a TikTok post in October 2024.

Authorities believed the Afghan migrant had given them a false name and he was actually a 31-year-old called Fayaz Husseini, Southwark Crown Court heard.

Farage described the threat as "pretty chilling", adding: "Given his proximity to guns and love of guns, I was genuinely worried."

In the video, Khan pointed towards his face tattoo and said he was going to "pop, pop, pop" the MP for Clacton, in Essex, referring to him as "Englishman Nigel".

Sentencing him, judge Mrs Justice Steyn said: "Your video was not more abuse, it was a threat to kill with a firearm and it was, as Mr Farage put it, 'pretty chilling'."

Farage speaking now:

Thanks the Judge for the maximum sentence given for the offense.

Says in 18 months he’ll be out and in a hotel or other accommodation at the cost of the taxpayer.

“Mixed feelings” he says. Happy with the sentence/win but this criminal will be free in 18 months.

Why not deport the POS? Is he the Mayor of London’s brother?

I dont think he can under present laws. That’s why Farage was giving a statement and said he had mixed feelings

Wait, what?

Guns are illegal in the UK. What "proximity"?

Nope. Just enough to placate the squirrels.

As I've stated prior, the brits are loathe to actually learn lessons. There's a reason our forebears left, ironically noted immediately in the wake of Columbus Day.

The invasion continues...

He might have been sentenced for another whole year if he had gone to Nigels house with zipties and a gun ;)

Exactly. It is illegal to have guns so there is no gun crime in the UK. Just like it is illegal to issue death threats in the UK. So there are no death threats.... oh wait.
