Nigel Farage accepts award from far-right US Republican after racist 'sink the ships' rant
- The Reform UK leader says he didn't hear the vile speech of young Republican Nathan Berger just 45 seconds before he introduced him onto the stage in New York last month
Nigel Farage, the former leader of the UK Independence Party (UKIP) and a prominent Brexit campaigner, has accepted an award from the far-right Republican Study Committee in the United States. This event follows his controversial comments where he suggested that the UK should "sink the boats" of migrants attempting to cross the English Channel, remarks which were widely criticized as racist.
