Nigel Farage is angry that the EU has taken control of its own borders

Farage lashed out at European "thugs and bullies" who, he claimed, simply want Britain to "sign a bad deal".

Arch-Brexiteer Nigel Farage is fuming, because European nations have taken control of their own borders – and banned travel from the UK.

France – and countries around the world – have banned flights from the UK as an emergency response to the emergence of the mutant coronavirus, which spreads more easily than previous strains.

The markets tumbled in response to the escalating coronavirus crisis and the looming prospect of a no-deal Brexit at the end of the transition period on December 31.

Farage was enraged by the developments, lashing out at European “thugs and bullies” who, he claimed, simply want Britain to “sign a bad deal”.

We are dealing with thugs and bullies who want to make us sign a bad deal.

Time to walk away, to hell with the EU. https://t.co/6LFjA3mvaq

The Brexit Party leader was quickly mocked, with many on Twitter suggesting that this – Britain being cut off from its nearest neighbours – was what he’d wanted all along.

Here’s some of the best reaction.

I’m pleased you see your lifelong wish for closed borders to be the utter self-defeating idiocy it always was.

But wouldn’t it be a better idea if we were to stay in the institutions that could actually work to overcome arbitrary border closures?

This is sovereign countries determining to close their borders in their self-interest. Isn’t that what you…want?

If there's one thing we're learning right now it's that you most certainly can be part of the EU *and* control your own borders. https://t.co/ytL8zhn23k

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.
