Nigel Farage in spectacular self-own as he calls for another Brexit

The former UKIPer was responding to news that the government's Rwanda plan may not come into play for months, if ever.

Nigel Farage has called for another Brexit after lawyers stepped in to halt the government’s Rwanda plan.

Boris Johnson hit out at “legal eagles” during a trip to Southampton this week, admitting plans to send migrants to central Africa may not take place for months.

Number 10 was unable to say when the first flights sending migrants on a one-way trip to the East African nation would take off, in the face of criticism and legal action against the plans.

Officials insisted they were not waiting for court challenges to be resolved before putting the policy into practice.

But according to Farage, it may never happen because Johnson kept the UK in the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), calling for a “proper Brexit” to resolve the issue.

The former UKIPer took to Twitter to voice his displeasure, but it didn’t take long for people to point out his obvious mistake.

The ECHR isn’t actually in the EU. It is part of the Council of Europe, which was founded after WWII to uphold human rights. The court serves that mission from a legal perspective.

Thankfully, people were on hand to provided a helpful fact-checking service to Nige:

The ECHR is not the EU, Nigel. https://t.co/uaWQXGJjjW

Repeating a lie does not make it true. EU membership is distinct from the ECHR. https://t.co/Dj850F0uRv

This is deliberate misinformation, for the second time in 24hrs.

Brexit has nothing to do with the ECHR.

The ECHR is a product of the Council of Europe. not the EU.

Nigel Farage is an habitual liar. https://t.co/ocxfCst9ek

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
