The Taliban will accept Afghans deported from abroad and will not take payment to do so, while welcoming aid to support newcomers. The Taliban recognizes logistical challenges in accommodating and feeding people returning from Iran and Pakistan and expresses intent to make Afghanistan a place where returnees can live with dignity. Nigel Farage argues that deportations are necessary to stop migrant crossings, highlights legal obstacles posed by the European Convention on Human Rights and the Human Rights Act 1998, and says removing or changing those arrangements would require significant work across devolved administrations.
We are prepared to work with anyone who can help end the struggles of Afghan refugees, as we know many of them do not have a good life abroad. We will not take money to accept our own people, but we welcome aid to support newcomers, since there are challenges in accommodating and feeding those returning from Iran and Pakistan.
I don't think we can stop the boats unless we start deporting. All the while, we are part of the ECHR and its convention is written into British law via the Human Rights Act 1998. I will admit, there are difficulties because Tony Blair wrote it into the Peace Agreement in Northern Ireland. He wrote it into the Devolution Agreements. There would certainly be for Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales a fair bit of work to be done.
