Male migrants, called 'fighting-age men breaking into' the country.

What was said

Farage posted asking whether Britain wants “these fighting-age men breaking into our country,” describing migrants crossing the Channel.

Why it counts

'Fighting-age men' recasts young male migrants, who are people crossing a border, as a military-adjacent threat. 'Breaking into' makes the same move: it describes a crime in progress where the actual event is an asylum claim.

It's the same invasion framing as the boat post this week, aimed specifically at young men.
