Nigel Farage has described in court his fear after an Afghan migrant threatened to shoot him while preparing to cross the Channel in a small boat. The Reform Party leader said it was clear that Fayaz Khan, who has a distinct Kalashnikov gun tattoo on his cheek, planned to kill him in the threats made in a TikTok video.

Khan had lived in Stockholm, Sweden, since at least 2019 and built up “a very large presence online” with hundreds of thousands of views on his TikTok videos, Southwark crown court was told.
In October last year Khan announced that he was preparing to cross to England in a small boat, the court was told.
Farage highlighted the plans in a YouTube video titled “The journey of an illegal migrant”, where he described “young males of fighting age coming into our country about whom we know very little”.
The following day Khan, who used the social media name Madapasa, allegedly posted a TikTok video addressed to “English man Nigel” telling him to “delete the video”, it is alleged.
Khan allegedly said: “I come to England because I want to be married with your sister.” He also twice threatened “pop, pop pop” while making trigger gestures with his hand, the court was told. Some of his other videos allegedly featured men with guns.
