NIGEL Farage has blamed immigrants for potholes and traffic jams.
No we’re not making that up, he actually blamed migration for Britain’s shoddy roads.
The former Ukip leader made the jaw-dropping claim in a video of a discussion with him and Spectator editor Fraser Nelson.
Farage said: “I think, over the course of the next year or two people will start to make the connection that the reason there is a housing crisis is mass immigration.
“The reason they can’t get a GP appointment is mass immigration. The reason their lives are more miserable than they were ten years ago, their quality of life is diminishing is because of the population crisis and explosion in this country.”

He went on to blame immigrants for practically every ill facing modern Britain, saying: “Everything, even travel. Even travel, even the length of journeys, potholes in the roads, these are all symptoms of a population crisis. And it’s going to dominate British politics over the next 10 years."
Nelson also raised an eyebrow when Farage claimed his driver (of course he has a driver) could not get a council school place for his child, who was allegedly forced by the local authority to homeschool the child instead.
The Scottish magazine editor pointed out it would be illegal for a council to do this, but Farage is not a man easily put off by pesky little things like facts.
The coldest comfort you can draw from this shocking claim from Farage is that some things never change: when the people ruining the country get caught, they'll always blame immigrants first.
