  1. ***The Telegraph reports:***

    An Afghan migrant who threatened to kill Nigel Farage has been sentenced to five years in prison.

    Fayaz Khan, 26, posted a TikTok video in October last year in which he named [the Reform UK leader](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/10/04/farage-is-right-to-be-worried-about-his-safety/), made a gun gesture and pointed to his tattoo of an assault rifle on his face.

    Khan had previously pleaded guilty to entering Britain illegally by small boat and was convicted by jury at Southwark Crown Court of making a threat to kill the MP for Clacton.

    Khan reacted angrily to the sentencing.

    He said: “I am not guilty, I want to fix my life. I want to go back to Afghanistan. I want to go back to my country, to see my family. I am not here because I want to kill him. I have a son.

    “You want to f— my life because you want to be prime minister, you want to put me in prison? You f—– my life.”

    In the TikTok video, Khan said he was “going to shoot” Mr Farage when he reached Britain in a small boat.

    After arriving in the UK, Khan was charged with making a threat to kill Mr Farage between Oct 12 and 15 last year.

    Southwark Crown Court previously heard that, on Oct 12 last year, Mr Farage uploaded a video to YouTube, entitled The journey of an illegal migrant. In the video he referred to Khan and “young males of fighting age coming into our country, about whom we know very little”.

    The prosecution said Khan responded with a video on Oct 14, which was played to the jury, in which he appears to say: “Englishman Nigel, don’t talk s— about me. You not know me. I come to England because I want to marry with your sister.

    “You not know me. Don’t talk about me more. Delete the video. I’m coming to England. I’m going to pop, pop, pop.”

    Jurors were told that while Khan said “pop, pop, pop”, he made “gun gestures with his hand”. He also headbutted the camera and pointed to an AK-47 tattoo on his face to “emphasise he wasn’t joking”.

  2. What a nice looking young gentleman. I’m sure those tattoos were just forced on him in the political prison against his will. Bless his soul.

  3. Gets an AK-47 tattooed on his own face, illegally breaks into a country, uploads a video of himself making death threats. Then when he’s held accountable by the law for his own actions, he blames the victim for wanting to fuck his life. What kind of scum are we letting into our country? Even after all this I doubt he’ll get deported.

  4. Why does he want to go back to Afghanistan? I thought it’s very unsafe as that’s why he spent thousands and thousands of pounds to come here irregularly… unless…

  6. He has a tattoo of a gun. ON HIS FACE

    What the fuck is our immigration system doing?

  7. And the taxpayer has to pay a not insignificant amount to keep this gentleman imprisoned

  9. So we get to pay the £48k a year to keep him in prison now too? Aren’t we lucky!

  10. So we (the taxpayer) has to fund him staying here for at best 2 years?

  12. Shouldn’t he be thanking Farage? If not for noncey Nigel pushing for brexit we’d have been able to send him straight back but now thanks to brexit we can’t do that anymore. Thanks Nigel you fucking dosser

  13. Fucking great, now we have to take care of him for 5 years. Why is my hard-earned tax money being spent on him? Why couldn’t he be deported straight away?

  14. If he serves a full sentence, which I very much doubt. He will be out in time to see Nigel as PM

  15. Didn’t the guy who killed the Syrian boy get 4 years?

  17. A man who attacks another with a knife gets a 20 week suspended sentence. Is that the two tier justice they keep banging on about? Or is it ok now Nige is the beneficiary of it?

  18. Yet somebody who attempted to kidnap a baby only gets 12 months.

    The justice system is broken.

  19. Unbelievable, rather than deport, let’s waste more citizens tax money.

  20. Amd afterwards we’ll be stuck with him as Afghanistan can’t/won’t have him back 😐

  21. Ffs! That’s my doctor. The nhs is going to be in ruins if they deport dr ak47 face

  22. Jail him then intern him until he self deport.

    Alternatively…pinky promise from the taliban would suffice

  24. i dont understand why we just dont pay the money it would cost to incarcerate him and give that money to afganistan to take him back.

  25. Why have we, the taxpayer, got to pay to keep this shit in our completely overwhelmed prison system?? Fuck him straight off ffs! This country is a joke
