UK lawmaker threatens flight, visa bans if Pakistan won’t take back Rochdale grooming gang ringleader

Nigel Farage, the leader of Reform UK, has threatened flight bans, visa bans and the freezing of Pakistani nationals’ assets if Pakistan continues to refuse to take back Shabir Ahmed, the ringleader of the Rochdale child grooming gang, who is now free in England.

“If Pakistan still refuses to take back Shabir Ahmed, I will not hesitate to impose flight bans, visa bans and even freeze their nationals’ assets,” Farage wrote on X, posting a video with the message. “If they want a fight, I’ll give them one.”

In the video, he went further. “I’m sorry, Pakistan, but you need to take back that man now living freely in the northwest of England who was at the heart of one of the most appalling, well, they call them grooming gangs, but I think rape gangs, frankly, would be more appropriate,” he said. “If that means, in the case of Pakistan, that we have to bring in visa bans, we’ll do so. If it means threatening Pakistani nationals’ assets, In London, we will do so. If it means introducing flight bans, we will do so. And in extremis, we’d even look at tariffs. People will accept their bad guys back. And by the way, we’ll accept our bad guys back too. I’m sorry, Pakistan, but you need to take back.”

if Pakistan continues to refuse to take back Shabir Ahmed, the ringleader of the Rochdale child grooming gang,

What a cuck

He should say: "this man will NOT be allowed to leave the UK, because he will be publicly hanged for his crimes."

Freeze all of their assets and take Shabir Ahmed to the middle of the Indian Ocean and let him swim home.

Central to Islamabad’s concerns are several political dissidents, former officials and activists living in Britain.

Pakistan reportedly wants Britain to act on extradition requests involving Shahzad Akbar, who served in former prime minister Imran Khan’s cabinet, and Adil Raja, a journalist and former military officer.

Islamabad sought their extradition last December, accusing them of spreading “fake news” and anti-state propaganda.

Pakistan has also repeatedly sought the extradition of Altaf Hussain, the London-based founder of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), who has lived in exile in Britain for roughly three decades.

The Pakistani official argued that London had consistently refused to act despite Islamabad repeatedly presenting evidence. “There are people using British soil to destabilise Pakistan, in violation of several British laws, but the UK has done absolutely nothing about them,” said the official.

“The UK tells us these miscreants are law-abiding and following UK law. They tell us they have to protect their human rights and free speech. We have shared evidence that they incite hatred, violence and social unrest, but the UK does not listen to us. Why double standards?”

Mt thought too. Nigel is Pence. This scumbag raped how many British girls? So Nigel thinks it’s punishment enough to send him back home.

Any reason they’re not bothering to put him in jail, or execute him, if he’s so bad?
