Farage went on a rampage, after an audience member asked a question about the issue, as he said: “The last Labour government deported people who came here illegally in their tens of thousands.”
As he continued to rant, Fiona pointed at him with her pen as she interrupted him. She quizzed him saying: “Are you going to respond?” He snapped back saying: “I’m going to, I’m going to!”
He continued: “The point is, if people come legally and they work – that’s fine. If people come because they genuinely are refugees, we’ve always opened our doors than anybody in the world historically to that.”
Fiona interrupted once more as she said: “Sorry can I ask – so you don’t agree with the woman here in the red jacket?” Farage kept ranting on shouting: “tens of thousands!”
