Nigel Farage warned millions of Turks could arrive in the UK

The Ukip leader claimed Brussels is currently thrashing out a deal with Turkey - which has a population of 77million - which would give ALL Turks the option of living in Britain. Under the agreement, Turkey would be given free access to Europe, technically allowing its 77 million citizens to eventually come to the UK. He warned that once here, even for holidays, migrants could “disappear” in the system and eventually claim their rights to work and live here. Mr Farage explained that even though visa free access will apply only to the Schengen zone, which Britain is not included in, migrants could still abuse the system by applying for German residency and being granted an EU passport.

Speaking during the launch of the Ukip film ’The True Migrant Crisis’, he said: “The EU is negotiating visa free access for all Turks, all 77million. “It is also proposing visa free travel with Ukraine and the real problem is that in theory, free travel means you can come to Europe for 90 days. “But the reality is that a lot of people will disappear or when they get to Germany claim their rights of family reunion. “The real problem isn’t people trying to get to Britain illegally, the real problem is that in a few short years all of the people that came will have German passports, Dutch or Belgium passports. “And as you know an EU passport means unqualified travel to the UK.” Boris Johnson also warned about the prospect yesterday. He said: "I am very pro-Turkish but what I certainly can't imagine is a situation in which 77million of my fellow Turks and those of Turkish origin can come here without any checks at all. That is mad - that won't work." It comes after Express.co.uk exclusively revealed Turkish police are taking bribes of just £8 to allow refugees access to Europe despite it’s Government raking in £2.5billion to stop the migrants.

Syrians, Afghanis and Iraqi nationals told how they paid backhanders to corrupt officers so they can cross the Aegean, despite the controversial deal between Ankara and the European Union. EU officials last month agreed to give billions to Turkey for it to keep Middle East refugees. It also gives Turkey’s hopes of inclusion in the Schengen zone a huge boost. During the launch in London, the fierce critic of the EU was also quick to dismiss the Prime Minister David Cameron’s claims that if Britain backs a Brexit, French officials will open the Calais floodgates and migrants will land in Folkestone. Mr Farage argued: “This is actually a bilateral deal with France and has nothing to do with the EU deal.
