And now this government
0:02
are trying to force digital ID onto us
0:06
all. And the excuse that they're using,
0:08
say Edward, is that it will stop illegal
0:11
migrants from working. Now, if the prime
0:13
minister was really serious about
0:16
stopping illegal migrants from working,
0:19
then he will detain and deport every
0:22
single illegal migrant that crosses the
0:24
English Channel. But of course, he
0:25
won't. This is a gimmick. It's a
0:27
pathetic temp attempt by a weak prime
0:30
minister who has lost total control.
0:33
Over 5,000 of my constituents signed
0:36
this petition and they do not want this
0:38
government poking their noses into their
0:40
private lives. My constituents are not
0:43
illegal migrants. They did not break
0:45
into this country. They are decent,
0:47
hard-working people whose fathers and
0:50
grandfathers and great-grandfathers
0:52
fought in two world wars to secure our
0:55
freedoms. And every single working
0:58
person in Ashefield is now going to be
1:00
penalized because of the failures of
1:02
this government. You don't need a
1:04
digital ID to work in this country. You
1:07
need a national insurance number
1:08
backed up with a driving license, a
1:10
passport or some photo ID. And my
1:13
message to the government, Sir Edward,
1:15
is quite clear. You allow undocumented
1:18
men into our country with no ID at all.
1:21
You pick them up and place them in
1:23
luxury hotels with no ID at all. You
1:28
then give them a free asylum claim and
1:30
free legal aid with no ID at all. Yet
1:33
you are ordering my constituents in
1:36
Asheville to get digital ID. And then
1:38
you have the chief to call us fascists.
1:40
That's what they do. So just leave my
1:43
constituents alone and concentrate on
1:45
clearing up the mess that you have
