UK politician Nigel Farage said charities assisting asylum seekers in reaching Britain should face prosecution, according to The Guardian. The remarks target humanitarian groups operating in the English Channel and reflect a harder line on migration in British politics. They carry no direct policy weight but could influence debate on asylum and charity law.
