A lot of you are getting in touch this morning
0:01
about this state visit with Emmanuel Macron. None of you are happy about it, I can't lie
0:06
Katie says, The king is weak, weak, weak. He's part of the reason this awful government is running amok
0:12
Irregular migration, she says. Disgraceful. Our beloved queen must be spinning in her grave
0:16
at having such a spineless lefty as an heir. Well, there's... There's your knighthood gone, Katie
0:22
I don't think that's entirely fair, because, frankly, these speeches are written for monarchs
0:26
by their ministers. Oh, come on. Now, he could argue and say, I want it to be illegal
0:32
or have no reference to it at all. But that's the point of being weak, surely
0:36
Yeah. Even if you were king, well, maybe you would, but if I was king and somebody gave me words to read out
0:43
and I didn't want to, I wouldn't do it. No. Well, irregular is just a joke. And also, I can't stand about this government doing this
0:50
They take us for mugs. Who do they think's fooled by it by saying irregular migration
0:55
and once or twice it's crept in here. It repeatedly... Because if you say it often enough, it's the old Blair mantra
1:04
if you say it often enough, people believe it. So you've got to be really wary
1:08
So we're not using that expression, irregular migration, because it's illegal. Well, the thing is, irregular migration
1:15
and the cost of that to the country repeatedly comes up as the most concerning issue of the day Along with the cost of living crisis Because the two sit side by side If we didn have a cost of living crisis we might feel we could be more generous
1:28
with people coming to live here, because we are a generous country, but because
1:32
we can't afford anything, because we can't get to see a doctor or a dentist..
1:36
Disability benefits, got to cut them, but we can find £4 billion a year
1:40
to put migrants in hotels. Special schools, going to have to cut back
1:44
that's been fined $4 billion a year for the migrants. It really sticks in people's crawl
1:50
There's no sense of justice. Well, we're moving towards a one-world government, Andrew Dakin. It's a one-world planet where the nation-state won't matter
1:55
and it will all be blamed on climate change and we will all be told, it's not your country
2:00
you just happen to live there, you don't have a right to it. It's just... This is a movement of travel
2:05
I was quite happy, actually, to hear Macron say, long live France and long live the UK
2:10
Yeah, damn right. Where's the cheap? Well, they are. Mary says... And then they all got up and did a standing ovation
2:18
Did they do the standing ovation in French? Actually, no, he did his... No, because the speech at the
2:24
Windsor, he did in French. Yeah, I think at the end, didn't he
2:28
he said long-lived. If I broke into class, would I be classed as irregular or illegal migration? If I was there at that dinner, you know what I would have done when everybody else stood up. I would have firmly
2:36
stayed in my seat. Well, I hope you would. Right, in a bid to say..
2:40
How can you give a standing ovation to something you didn't understand a word of
