0:00
But whatever the minister says there
0:01
it sounds like they're very late to the party. Yes, that's one of the biggest questions
0:05
that leaps out of your interview there. Why did it take so long
0:11
And indeed, has this been cleared by Lord Hermer, the human rights-obsessed Attorney-General
0:17
Will this actually get off the ground is the biggest question, really, because there will be appeals
0:21
and we are still members of the European Court on Human Rights, and we'll abide by their jurisdiction on that
0:27
So it'll be interesting to see the next step. Will anyone actually leave who has been locked up in this country for the country they came from
0:37
I mean, you can almost anticipate the feeding frenzy that it's going to be for lawyers
0:43
Yes. Well, this is the mainstay of their income at the moment
0:48
In Britain, there's illegal immigration and trying to keep people here. I mean, look, what we have here is a government which is plainly running scared of the success
0:57
of the Reform Party led by Nigel Farage in making this the issue of the moment and indeed
1:04
of the year and will be for the four years till the next election
1:09
The government is desperate to do something but absolutely enmeshed in its own limitations which are put upon it by the human rights laws that it is a slave to
1:21
There is no way, I think, that they're going to simply reject all appeals that are going
1:27
to be lodged immediately at the very first moment. They're going to have to go through them, and they are interminable, as we have seen
1:35
in the past. And unless they bring in a new law, which I don't think they've indicated they are planning
1:40
we will have to go through the same machine. What I can't quite get my head around is just
1:45
because it's not really being viewed in this way, is how much of a complete and utter U-turn this is
1:52
When this has been mentioned to ministers in the last year and said, you know, let's clear 10,000 people out of our prisons
1:59
because we've got this huge backlog. We can't do it because it would not be justice for the British people
2:06
They've been dead set against doing this. Absolutely. And that's why you can tell that this is an action of sheer panic, because of the way that Nigel Farage is mopping up Labour voters, Tory voters and voters of all times, all ages, all classes
2:23
And mainly the issue is centered on the question of illegal immigration and especially the people coming across in boats
