Nigel Farage today hit out at a 'cover-up' after two Afghan asylum seekers were charged in connection with the alleged rape of a 12-year-old girl in Nuneaton.
The Reform UK leader said it was 'absolutely disgraceful' that information about the men's background was not revealed to the public.
It came after George Finch, the Reform leader of Warwickshire County Council, said he had been 'begging' for details about the immigration status of the alleged offenders in Nuneaton to be released.
Speaking at a press conference in central London, Mr Farage said the immigration status of those who are charged with alleged offences should be routinely released.
He also demanded that those who enter the UK illegally should not be 'free to roam the streets' and 'should be detained ahead of them being deported'.
