0:00
We have hit 25,000 in record time
0:03
but Keir Starmer keeps wanting to tell us he's doing something about it. Well, we have hit the 25,000
0:09
and I reckon by the end of the year, we could see an awful lot more than that
0:15
And yes, Keir Starmer, he talks very well, but his actions are not consistent with what he's saying
0:25
Just, Kevin, could you explain to me? Sorry, I really want to delve into your knowledge here
0:29
as a former immigration officer at UK Border Force, right? So if I was out telling people that I'd got the French to slash the boats
0:37
I'd got the Germans to stop the boats getting to France, that I was shutting migrant hotels and all of that
0:43
but then the facts were that actually we have hit record levels of channel crossings
0:47
and we're having to find overflow facilities for the migrants. I don't know, would you think you'd accuse me of not necessarily telling the truth
0:54
well Patrick you've been over to the other side you've been in the camps
1:00
you've seen what's going on just like me you will know that the people smugglers
1:07
are telling the migrants it's all nonsense and once they get to the UK
1:11
they're going to be in the land of milk and honey and they're quite right
1:16
because they're still going to get everything that they're getting now They're going to get their hotel rooms, they're going to get money
1:26
they're going to get everything. And until our French friends start getting their fingers out
1:33
and doing something about the boats coming off the beaches, nothing will change
1:39
Yeah, and just on that, you know, why in your mind would we need to expand the use of RAF Wethersfield that airbase in Essex Just I ask because of course Kirstam had promised that he close it didn he Why could we possibly need to be expanding that do you think
1:56
Well, I mean, it is however you argue it it is cheaper
2:01
and more efficient to put people in larger numbers on places like
2:07
military buildings I did the sums for the one up here, near where
2:13
I live, and it was a lot cheaper, but it's not politically acceptable, so they didn't. So, Westerfield, it's easier and
2:22
better to put 400-odd people there than scatter them around in dozens of hotels all over the UK
2:31
Yeah, well, possibly safer as well, given the fact that some people seem to be
2:35
more ready to protest now, possibly because the previous story that I've done, which was
2:40
highlighting the influx of crime that we're also seeing at some migrant hotels as well
2:47
Is there any way of the Prime Minister stopping this without just doing mass deportations
2:53
No, not really. He could deport people. Something about this that we're not going into
3:02
and the media aren't reporting it, we've got our enforcement teams, immigration enforcement
3:11
teams are doing a sterling job, they're going around to places, they're finding people
3:17
who shouldn't be in the UK the trouble is they have very limited
3:23
detention space, very limited detention space so basically they're capturing them, taking them to the
3:31
local police station and then they're having to be released because there's nowhere to put them
3:37
And that's it, as long as we see of them
