The party has suggested it would be prepared to deport 600,000 people under the policy, if it wins the next general election.

Halfway into his press conference on Tuesday during which he announced his party would deport asylum seekers en masse if it entered government Nigel Farage sounded a note of triumphalism. One of the most interesting things about this press conference is the questions being asked are about the practicalities of individual pieces of implementation, he said. What I notice is there is very little pushback from the media against the idea that we really are in very, very big trouble in this country.

The United States deported eight men who arrived in South Sudan this month - via Djibouti, where they were held for weeks in a metal shipping container at a naval base. All but one of the migrants had no connection to South Sudan.
