ARCHBISHOP OF YORK BLASTS FARAGE’S MASS DEPORTATION PLAN FOR ASYLUM SEEKERS

The Archbishop of York condemned Reform UK leader Nigel Farage’s proposal for mass deportations of asylum seekers as a short-term, ‘knee-jerk’ response and urged resistance to such policies. Reform UK pushed back, saying church leaders should not interfere in migration policy. The exchange comes amid rising anti-migrant hotel protests, legal injunctions, and mounting pressure on the government over asylum housing and removals.
