as we can get really to this migrant boat now
0:03
bearing in mind that the French don't like us getting too close, Nigel Farage joins us again
0:09
And, Nigel, this boat's absolutely packed. We can see that now as Ben on the camera tries to zoom in there
0:17
Yeah, I reckon there's a good 70 people on there. It could be more, I don't know
0:24
...yards away. The strange thing is how organised, how calm everything is
0:28
there's the French naval vessel just over there to the right there's Border Force
0:33
casually waiting they'll hand them over Border Force will say thank you very much
0:38
they'll be taken in within a couple of days they'll be in a four-star hotel and
0:42
probably some of them working as delivery drivers or whatever else it may be it's almost as if it's almost as if it's being allowed to happen well listen
0:51
we're just going to get Ben to to come in a bit closer to the edge here to get a
0:55
as we continue to chat to you, Nigel. I mean, the governments say that they are ending
1:00
the reliance on hotels, that the number is going down, although it seems it is up from when they came into office Well I sorry but if the hotels are bad the HMOs the houses of multiple occupancy are even worse You take a residential street where kids play in the evening
1:16
and you put 15 men in from the Middle East or from Africa. So, you know, even if the hotels are visible
1:23
but the HMOs are just as bad in some ways for communities, they're viewed as being even worse
1:28
Well, because, I guess, because people are right in the heart of communities
1:33
rather than maybe a hotel on the edge of town. Yes, and I mean, look, I think we can now speak more freely about this than we could before
1:40
The fact is, I've had reports, multiple reports. We had this in Runcorn, interestingly, in the by-election that took place a couple of months ago
1:48
You know, girls being followed to school, stuff like that. We're dealing with a lot of people here who come from a culture where women aren't even second-class citizens
1:58
That is the brutal truth of what is going on, and I think the British public are waking up to that
2:03
And that's why I think the government is in so much trouble. You know, just the irony that we're seeing this on the very day when some ridiculous deal that the French offered a Starmer and he accepts is about to be done
2:16
The country is absolutely furious about this. It is at all close to being the major issue in British public life
