immigrant. started his journey in stockholm, went through germany, now is in france. let's face it, he could travel illegally in a dinghy tomorrow to britain and there's nothing we could do whatsoever to deport him because he's an afghan and it would contravene his human rights to be deported back to afghanistan. despite the fact he's issued a clear death threat to nigel farage, a sitting mp on what level is that in any way acceptable ? acceptable? >> hi. yes. so the main thing is, i mean, i think deportation or keeping people away or sending people away from this country, i think somehow we think that some sort of fantasy or some sort of treatment, some sort of solution to all our problems. the main thing is, i mean, if, for instance , this mean, if, for instance, this person has done this, if this was happening in any other situation, we would have said, you know, or if potentially he's committing a you know, criminal offence, which of course, issuing a death threat is then if anything, we would be extraditing him to the uk because we want to try him here

and we want to prosecute him and we want to punish him if his crime is proven, which i mean, well, obviously , no, you don't well, obviously, no, you don't want to do that in front of us. so the point is no, no, we don't want to do that because that would then make him our problem. >> it would make him a liability of the british taxpayer because he'd be straight in nick, and we'd have to pay his food and lodgings for years. that isn't the answer. the answer that people really want is to stop people really want is to stop people like this getting into our country. in the first place. >> yeah, to be honest, i mean, legally or logically or practically, i just don't think that solution, you know, like they say about enemies, you know, keep your friends close, but your enemies closer. the point is, you know, this is what we do every time. i mean, anyone's making threats against us, you know, whether against an individual or against a security, against the country. we just want to keep them. do we really ? are we is that really really? are we is that really what we're saying? as long as this person is not within the uk, he won't be able to harm nigel farage or anyone else. i don't think that's true. >> and that is that is what i'm saying. and that is what that is what the vast majority of people would say . why on earth come on, would say. why on earth come on, why on earth should an illegal immigrant issuing death why
