"Attention all swans! Attention all swans! You are not safe! Immigrants from inferior cultures have been seen loitering with intent to kill in royal parks. They want to eat you alive. Be very vigilant. All offenders who are caught will be punishable under sharia law. Never say that a half-hour phone in with Nigel Farage on Nick Ferrari's LBC morning show is anything but educational."
"The first call came from Marie. An American with three kids who had lived in the UK for 25 years. She used to work, had paid her taxes but now worked voluntarily as a school governor. She was here under indefinite leave to remain (ILR). Would she be deported? Nige didn't reply. Instead he went on about the 1.3 million people who were here under ILR and were just out to milk the benefits system for 230bn."
A provocative proclamation warns swans that immigrants from 'inferior cultures' are loitering with intent to kill and will be punished under sharia law. The proclamation frames a half-hour phone-in with Nigel Farage on Nick Ferrari's LBC show as an educational demonstration of manufactured hatred and suggests such sessions could become compulsory under a potential Reform government. The rhetoric urges mistrust, assumes foreigners are predatory, and normalizes collective suspicion. A caller named Marie, an American with indefinite leave to remain, asks about deportation and receives dismissal, inflated claims about ILR residents, and suggestions of collateral removals.
