The former PM of Iceland believes he knows how to stop the boats arriving from France and now Nigel Farage thinks he should join the Tories, to give them the “backbone” they need to solve the crisis.<\/p>\n

Sigmundur Gunnlaugsson told Nigel Farage on GB News that \u201cthe best solutions are often the simple ones\u201d.<\/p>\n

He took a swipe at incumbent politicians, but said his workaround would be in the interests of both the French and the British.<\/p>\n

He told the former MEP: “Looking at it from the outside, it\u2019s simple. Politicians make these things complicated. When a boat comes with illegal migrants, take them on the land, give them a bottle of water, then bring them back to France.<\/p>\n

“In the long run, this will suit France as well. France does not want to be a middle ground in this huge influx of people going to the UK.”<\/p>\n

The former Ukip leader asked the ex-PM to clarify exactly what he meant, to which the Icelander replied: “Take them back to France with a bottle of water. Immediately.<\/p>\n

“Take them back, the French must receive them because they are coming from their country, a safe country.”<\/p>\n

Mr Farage quipped that Mr Gunnlaugsson should join the Tory Party, adding that they “could do with someone with a bit of backbone”.<\/p>\n

Mr Gunnlaugsson’s idea comes after the Government vowed last week to cut the number of hotels being used to house migrants by 50 over three months.<\/p>\n
