Restore says it would execute child rapists Pakistan refuses to take back
Restore Britain contrasts Nigel Farage's threat of flight bans with its own pledge, made subject to "the British people's approval".
Restore Britain has said it would "put to death" the worst child rapists whom Pakistan refuses to take back, rather than pursue Nigel Farage's proposed sanctions.
The party's official X account posted at 20:12 BST on Tuesday 13th October: "Farage is talking about imposing flight bans on Pakistan if they keep refusing to take back their very worst child rapists. Restore Britain's answer is much cleaner. With the British people's approval, we would simply put them to death."
The post was a standalone message rather than a direct reply. In context, "them" refers to the "very worst child rapists" mentioned in its first line.
Farage's comments
Mr Farage set out sanctions against Pakistan at Reform UK's asylum announcement in Kent on Monday 12th October, The Sun reported.
He said Pakistan should take back a man "now living freely in the north-west of England" whom he linked to grooming gangs, which he said he would call "rape gangs".
"If that means, in the case of Pakistan, that we have to bring in visa bans, we'll do so. If it means threatening Pakistani nationals' assets in London, we will do so," he said. "If it means introducing flight bans. We will do so. And in extremis, we'd even look at tariffs."
Restore's policy
The "approval" in Restore's post reflects a long-standing party commitment. Restore Britain's law and order objectives, dated 13th February 2026, pledge to "Hold a Binding Referendum on Restoring the Death Penalty".
The page states: "It is just to execute those guilty of the most heinous crimes. Exceptional circumstances demand exceptional measures. The British people must be given a say."
Rupert Lowe, the party's leader, has repeatedly backed the policy. On 3rd August he wrote on X that the referendum "will be a Restore Britain manifesto commitment". On 11th October, replying to another user, he wrote: "Mass deportations, the death penalty for child rapists and good food. Perfection."
Restore's material does not say which offences would be covered or how a referendum question would be worded.
Reform UK had not responded to Restore's post at the time of writing.
