"The Reform UK leader had flown to the Maldives to join a delegation carrying food and medicine to support four Chagossians who were attempting to set up a permanent base on a deserted island, as part of a mission to establish a colony in their former homeland. Mr Farage had boarded a boat carrying food and medicines preparing to make the 24-hour trip to Ile du Coin, which sits 300 miles from the Maldives."
Nigel Farage was accused of performing Maga stunts after his plan to deliver aid to the Chagos Islands was blocked by UK authorities. He flew to the Maldives to join a delegation carrying food and medicine to support four Chagossians attempting to establish a permanent base on a deserted island and to begin a colony in their former homeland. Mr Farage boarded a boat preparing a 24-hour trip to Ile du Coin, 300 miles from the Maldives. Sources said the plans failed because UK authorities insisted that only trained crew should be on board. A senior Maldives government source warned that British officials wanted to prevent him from setting foot on the island.
