Nigel Farage: Lawmakers who 'promoted multiculturalism and diversity' are responsible for Leicester violence

Farage said that Leicester violence was the result of the ‘immigration crisis’.

Far-right British politician Nigel Farage has alleged that politicians who promoted the policy of multiculturalism are responsible for the ongoing violence in Leicester.

Virtually every single MP in Westminster is responsible for the ethnic and religious violence seen in Leicester, Farage wrote on Twitter on Wednesday (21).


"They decided to go down the road of diversity and multiculturalism. Our politicians have done this to our great country," he tweeted.

According to the politician, the violence was the result of the 'immigration crisis' triggered by the country allowing mass immigration since 1997.

Farage, a presenter at GB News, is the founder of right-wing Brexit Party, which was later renamed Reform UK. The party campaigned for Brexit in 2016 and he resigned as the leader of the Brexit Party in March 2021.

The politician campaigned to leave the EU for 25 years. He attracted controversy by focusing his campaign on mass immigration, and attacked both Tories and the Labour on this issue.

In 2014, Farage said mass immigration was making parts of the country appear 'unrecognisable' and like 'a foreign land'.
"In scores of our cities and market towns, this country in a short space of time has frankly become unrecognisable. Whether it is the impact on local schools and hospitals, whether it is the fact in many parts of England you don't hear English spoken any more. This is not the kind of community we want to leave to our children and grandchildren," he remarked.
During the 2019 election campaign, Farage's party failed to win any seats in the 2019 December general elections, despite fielding around 275 candidates.

“I just think it’s not been talked about enough in the election. Our view is we should return to a sensible post-war normality. If that was net 50,000 a year, then we could live with that,” Farage said.

He always wanted to bring down immigration numbers.

He recently said that the cost of Queen Elizabeth II’s state funeral is 'peanuts' as the Royal Family is 'priceless'.

Migrants pay 60% more into NHS than their healthcare costs, analysis finds

The Immigration Health Surcharge is a fee that most people applying for eligible UK visas must pay as part of their immigration application. It is intended to contribute towards the cost of healthcare during their stay in the country.

Migrants pay 60% more into NHS than their healthcare costs, analysis finds

Highlights:

  • Migrants paying the IHS contributed at least 60% more to NHS finances than their estimated healthcare costs in 2023/24, including standard tax contributions.
  • The annual surcharge has risen from £200 to £1,035 for most visa applicants.
  • IHS revenue peaked at almost £2.5 billion in 2024/25.
  • The surcharge now accounts for more than 1 per cent of the NHS budget.
  • Revenue fell to £2.3 billion in 2025/26 as immigration numbers declined.
  • Around one-fifth of the NHS workforce comes from overseas, according to the Nuffield Trust fellow quoted in the report.

  • Migrants who pay to live and work in the UK are contributing substantially more to NHS finances than the estimated cost of the healthcare they receive, according to new analysis by the Nuffield Trust. The findings have reignited debate over immigration, healthcare funding and the purpose of the Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS).
