Because Farage convinced people that it would stop immigration.
Unfortunately the average voter has a shit memory span so they’re falling for the exact same grift again.
The only opinions allowed by the UK media are:
Anything else is simply too childish to print.
what farage promised, labour and eu parliament delivered
Which was extra dumb when you learn that the UK was never part of the open-border Schengen Zone in the first place, bc the EU allowed them to have an opt-out. So they had strict border & visa controls the entire time they were fear-mongering illegal middle eastern refugees coming in from the rest of the EU
And like in the 2015 EU Refugee Crisis, Germany received over 2 million migrants in a single year, while the UK only received 1/3 of a million, and the large majority of the UK's weren't even from the middle east!
I specifically remember that Farage’s original targets were Poles, Romanians, and other Eastern European people. He is doing the exact same grift except against a different group now.
