A MIGRANT has been found guilty of threatening to kill Nigel Farage after making a chilling gun gesture video.
Fayaz Khan, 26, also told the Reform Party leader he would marry his sister while travelling to the UK from Sweden.
Southwark Crown Court Khan was detained shortly after his arrival in the country via a small boat.
The Afghan asylum seeker has now been found guilty of making a threat to kill.
Footage showed Khan, who has a tattoo of a Kalashnikov assault rifle on his cheek, addressing “English man Nigel”.
He tells the MP: “You do not know me. I come to England because I want to marry your sister.
“Don’t talk about me more. Delete the video.
“I’m going to come to England. I’m going to pop pop pop.”
Khan then points at the gun tattoo on his cheek before pretending to headbutt the camera.
The clip was posted on October 14, 2024 – two days after Farage shared a video entitled “the journey of an illegal migrant”.
Prosecutor Peter Ratliff said: “In that video he noted that the focus of debate had been on the numbers of migrants coming to the UK, but not who it was who was arriving.
“The words he used were that these were ‘Young males of fighting age coming into our country about whom we know very little’.
“In that video Nigel Farage highlighted the example of the defendant – by using his own social media posts – as an example of someone who plainly did not have any legitimate claim to be in the UK, but who would be in the UK in a matter of days.
“Nigel Farage’s video prompted a violent reaction on the part of the defendant.”
Giving evidence, Farage said Khan came across as threatening in his TikTok videos and that his tattoo was “particularly aggressive”.
He added: “The response [to my video] was pretty chilling.
“What he says is that he’s coming to England and he’s going to shoot me. I understood very clearly as did many other people.”
The court was told Khan, who is being assisted in the dock by a Dari interpreter, had lived in Stockholm, Sweden, since 2019.
He had garnered a big social media following under the name Madapasa.
After police seized his phone, officers found he had posted about Farage before.
Khan, of Sheerness, Kent, will be sentenced at a later date.
POLICE are investigating the “unexplained” deaths of two women found dead inside a house.
Emergency crews were scrambled to the home in Maidenhead, Berkshire, on Wednesday afternoon.
Tragically, they discovered the bodies of two women inside the property.
Thames Valley Police are now treating the deaths as “unexplained but not suspicious”.
A file is being prepared for the coroner and post mortems will be carried out to establish a cause of death.
The force said: “We were called to an incident on Boyn Hill Road, Maidenhead at approximately 5.30pm on Wednesday.
“Sadly, the bodies of two women were discovered at the scene. The next of kin of the deceased have been informed of the deaths and have been offered our support.”

ONE major Japanese city is increasing its tourist tax up to 900 per cent and it will affect all holidaymakers.
The new tax is part of the government’s plan to combat overtourism in the city and will come into effect in spring next year.
Kyoto is one of the most popular cities in Japan and last year it welcomed 56.06 million visitors – of this, a record number of 10.88 million were foreign tourists.
In an attempt to reduce the amount of international visitors, the government is putting in place a tourist tax for overnight guests.
The tax will be paid per night by guests staying in inns, hotels and lodgings in the city.
There are exemptions to the tax which includes those visiting as part of school trips, participants in events at certified childcare centres and nurseries, such as chaperones.
According to Euro Exchange, some rates can reach highs of £50 per night which is an increase of 900 per cent in some cases.
Currently, the tax is capped at £4.92, but travellers staying in Kyoto could be paying as much as £49.23 by March 2026 when the ordinance is scheduled to come into effect.
The Independent reported that those paying less than 6,000 yen (£29.50) will continue to pay 200 yen (£1) pppn.
On the other end of the scale at luxury hotels, visitors paying over 100,000 yen will pay 10,000 yen (£49.23) which is 10 times the current rate.
The government expects to make an estimated income of 12.6bn yen per year from the increased taxes.
The new tax rate is set to come into place in March 2026.
One Travel Writer visited Kyoto, talking about her visit, she said: “My trip to Japan kicks off in Kyoto, and although it’s only early spring, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom at World Heritage site Ninna-ji – a temple founded in 888 AD.
“There, we catch sight of the Buddhist monks in orange robes, and visit the North Garden, with its white sand and ponds covered in water lilies. Entry costs £3 (Ninnaji.jp)
“Lunch is at Ganko: Takasegawa Nijoen, a house built by a wealthy merchant back in 1611.
“Our epic meal of sushi and sashimi is made even more memorable by the appearance of a geiko – a woman who dedicates her life to her craft of entertaining clients with the traditional Japanese arts – and her 17-year-old apprentice.”
For anyone who isn’t visiting Kyoto anytime soon, there’s a piece of the Japanese city in London.
The Kyoto Garden is in Holland Park, it opened in 1991 and was a gift from Kyoto city.
Since then, the garden has gone on to become a favourite spot for Londoners search for some peace and quiet in among the busyness of the city.
The garden is an “an oasis of calm” in the centre of the park, and in it you’ll discover a tiered waterfall, koi carp pond, stone lanterns and Japanese maple trees.
Meandering stepping stones cut a pathway through the pond, providing a perfect photo opportunity for visitors.
For a place to stay, TUI is set to open its first-ever hotel in Japan – on one of the world’s snowiest islands.

MANCHESTER UNITED are once again being linked with a takeover as rumours swirl over a mystery bid.
Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh claimed negotiations over a sale are at an “advanced stage”.
Alalshikh suggested a new investor is hoping to buy out the Glazer family and Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
He wrote: “The best news I heard today is that Manchester United is now in an advanced stage of completing a deal to sell to a new investor.
“I hope he’s better than the previous owners.”
United have played down the claims and insisted they were unsure what they were based on.
But Alalshikh doubled down with a follow-up post on X.
He added: “My yesterday’s post about Manchester United’s potential sale meant one thing: the club is in an advanced negotiation phase with a new investor.
“Just to clarify, I am not the investor, nor are they from my nation. I’m posting this as a fan who wishes the deal to happen, though it might not necessarily happen.”
Majority owners the Glazer family rejected a huge offer from Sheikh Jassim At Thani’s Qatar-based consortium almost two years ago.
CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS
Instead they accepted Ratcliffe’s £1.25billion offer for a 27.7 per cent stake in the club – which was finalised early last year.
But with United now valued at around £5.2bn, who are the possible candidates hoping to land a mega deal to buy the Old Trafford club?
One possible option is a bid from the Saudis and Alalshikh himself.
This would be separate from the Public Investment Fund which bought Newcastle in 2021.
Alalshikh is chairman of the Islamic Solidarity Sports Federation, who have hosted various big boxing fights in Saudi Arabia.
And after reports of interest in buying Bristol City, could Alalshikh make the step up to try and buy his beloved United?
Alalshikh, though, insisted he was not the alleged mystery bidder – and that they do not come from his country.
That could, therefore, mean the bidder is from neighbouring Qatari investors.
Although SunSport understands it would not be from the Qatari Sports Investment government-funded organisation which owns Paris Saint-Germain.
Brooklyn Earick enquired into a shock takeover of Tottenham as part of a US consortium.
The DJ was understood to be backed by Dan Gilbert, the owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers NBA franchise who has an estimated fortune of £20bn.
And the pair could combine again to launch another bid for a Premier League powerhouse.
But after failing to stump up enough cash to buy Spurs, it is unlikely the consortium would have enough to convince the Glazers to sell.
Stephen Ross made his money in real estate through his Related Companies which he founded in 1972.
The multi-billionaire first bought 50 per cent of the Miami Dolphins in 2008 then took his stake to 95 per cent the following year.
And after moving into F1 to bring the Miami Grand Prix to the Hard Rock Stadium complex, could he be ready to step into football across the pond?
Steve Ballmer was CEO of Microsoft for 14 years, replacing Bill Gates in the role in 2000, and was estimated earlier this year by Bloomberg to be the eighth-richest person in the world with a personal wealth of £114bn.
He founded his Ballmer Group investment company in 2015 to manage his staggering finances.
The year before, he completed a $2bn [£1.2bn] takeover of NBA franchise the Los Angeles Clippers – the second-biggest sports purchase ever at the time behind the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team.
MSP Sports Capital, spearheaded by successful agent, businessman and investor Jeff Moorad, was founded in 2019.
They have already bought football clubs in Portugal and Spain – as well as a “significant” stake in the McLaren F1 team and the X Games.
MSP pursued a takeover at Everton and Tottenham.
But while neither came to fruition, they could try their luck with one of the biggest clubs in the world at Old Trafford.
