Agitated LBC callers debate the migrant crisis 

Even if we stopped all incomers. The glaring fact is that your current Conservative government has still beat your public services to a pulp not fit for UK residents.

"I've written to my local MP. I'm not going to say which one because he's not my local MP" These are the types of geniuses that phone LBC daily?

The last caller was absolutely correct rich people are profiting from the bombing of Syria and the poor in this country and all over Europe are suffering the consequences!!!!!!

Donna is completely 100% correct. England and Europe is reaping the whirlwind of the decisions and actions taken in the past. It's foolish that modern day English people and Europeans think that the pillage and plunder that took place on their behalf in the past didn't have consequences. The past matters.

How does Tom not see the connection between our foreign policy and people fleeing the effects of our foreign policy? It's quite remarkable and very depressing.

Jonathon is a Daily Mail reader! I've heard this same story so many times before ( yawn)

Ahhh…the classic “free house and benefits” Absolutely thick as mince

Donna should have just used the words "exploited" and "looted" and "stolen" instead and she was 100% correct

I think people forget, once your claim is accepted, they are entitles to pay their taxes just like anything else. There are no legal routes to come to the uk thanks to the tories, and claims aren't being processed

It’s amazing how ignorant people are

These people used to ring James O'Brien up all the time and get absolutely humiliated, I miss those days

So he's written to his local MP who's not his local MP 😂😂😂😂

Donna is historically correct and that word, although harsh is shockingly accurate of historical British forces in colonies. I say that as a White British person. I have long thought that the UK is reaping the whirlwind of colonialism, cause and effect can take place over hundreds of years and this is the result. However, its not the rich people in this country that are being blamed when their ancestors DIRECTLY were involved with colonialism and they got the benefits while the working class of this country, most of which have no ties to colonialism are told its THEIR fault. The rich people should be blamed for colonialism, not the working class.

Donna is spot on ! Iraq , Afghanistan , Libya ....

Tom is wrong. That’s literally what happened to most countries that came under British rule.

Libya wasn’t bombed for any reason other than the West and its allies wanted to replace Gaddafi with someone more aligned particularly regarding oil, gold and pan-Africanism. “Humanitarian intervention” only ever seems to be applied to dissident states. Strange coincidence.

I like Poland and Hungary.. Zero tolerance...nobody comes in to their country...reject EU legislation....job done. They are now the safest places to live in Europe.

It's high time people were given some facts about international maritime law. How many times have they been told? 🤦‍♀️

The man spoke of spongers: Where's the electricity, oil, gold, diamonds, medicine, clothes, metal, rubber, etc and Donna was honest and appropriate. We've never fought a war to benefit anybody but ourselves.

"I don't like the word you used to describe what happened to your country", Tom is such a neolib.

With all due respect to Swarbrick, he doesn't have the right to police the language people like Donna uses to describe the crimes that the UK has perpetuated on her country.

I drove from Kent to Manchester on Sunday morning, to miss the traffic, the roads were full.....all 4 lanes.....too many people in England - I am a tourist, just an observation

Tom has no idea! He should do a bit of research before defending Britain!

Well said that woman!!!

This is the first time i have listened to Swarbrick and i can assure you it will be the last,does he not understand that you can not take events in history out of the equation especially when you consider how recently some of this history occurred.

The lady caller started badly...but she has a point. People come to the UK (and other colonial powers) because they have heard of it, and because we make ourselves to be big successful cheeses internationally. Also, the UK (and France, Italy etc) have imposed their languages on these countries, so when things go bad, they think they can turn to the UK/France/Etc and that they might be able to live in peace and work here.

I like Tom but his understanding of why what happened in Libya happened (and the aftermath) is pretty basic and partly incorrect.

Boring right whinge cliches

Also anyone who has a hatred of this country for whatever reason and currently resides here well, they know where the airport is.

Donna speaks the truth.

The war in Afghanistan was to fight the Taliban but who created this in the first place. Successive American administrations supported the Taliban, going back to 1979. It was part of the cold war doctrine that my enemys enemy is my friend. America wanted Afghanistan to be the Soviet Unions Vietnam or Stalingrad. Who provided the Taliban with the artillery to shoot down Soviet attack helicopters?. Reagan and Clinton welcomed them to the United States and called then freedom fighters. It was after the war, when the U.S. didnt want to know, that a power vacuum was created and all the rogue elements, armed to the teeth, fought for supremacy. Just look at how many countries and functioning democracies the C.I.A. have destabilised in the name of anti communism, including Iran and Chile.

No visa No papers No entry

Well done Donna..you said it like it was!

Labour and their ‘policies’ have always attracted the flies!

Listening to these callers just illustrates why the refugee problem will never get solved. They digest the bigoted, simplified headlines of the Express, Mail & The Sun and seem content in their ignorance!! I admire Tom's patience.

Tom is pretty thick about history. 👇 "at the beginning of the war the British India Army was 200000 at the end of the war it was 2 million we could never have won the war without them" Churchill

Donna was not having it today, she said “you got a problem with asylum seekers, blame colonialism”

The last guy got it.

A genuine question. If it is determined that it is not safe for an asylum seeker to return to their country, is the country processing their claim obliged to accept them? If not, if they can't go home, where are they expected to go? Italy could end up accepting all genuine refugees if this were the case.

That first caller, Jesus wept, the Daily Mail, the Sun, Express, GBNews, et al sure did a number on these folk.

Why does Britain have to involve itself in wars on foreign lands?

Donna is absolutely right. Let England take responsibility for their results of the past.

I don’t agree with either one of those two callers! They’re both very extreme

The last caller had Tom on the ropes. He was out of his depth on this issue.

I agree with Donna. I think the word she used was actually historically correct in many cases, it isn't an inapropriate word, it's an inapropriate act.

Some people believe every lie they read in the Sun/Express/Mail/Telegraph

What did the British take from Afghanistan 100s of years ago?

Donna is spot on agreed 👍 well done on her for speaking out.👌👌👌👌

every migrant has the right to seek asylum in europe. this is an ESSENTIAL HUMAN RIGHT ❤❤❤❤❤

LBC definitely feels like its getting very right leaning

Prime example of the type of person who has been radicalized by the Daily mail

The Werstern World has pumped in TRILLIONS of POUNDS , DOLLARS , EUROS ..... into Africa but to what avail ? They couldn't fix their own problems with the money . I don't have a solution 😭🇬🇧

It should be a bare minimum that in order to visit or stay anywhere you must be required to support yourself

The solution is simple: when an asylum seeker lands in Dover you say: 'Bonjour! Être-vous perdu?' It may also be helpful to paint a massive Tricolore on the cliffs ...

Tom not understanding the damage of empire on countries the British Empire pillaged…. Still suffering of those effects today!

We have had brexit, but still can't have control over our own borders. Its not brexit is it Mr Sunak?

I wish Tom was James Obrien.

Legally sending them back is impossible. There are so many legal implications so it’s not possible.

Donna was absolutely 100% correct

Gerneral migration is out of control, the largest army to attack this country was 30,000, the amount of people that immigrated here last year was 1,200,000 people.

Tom doesn’t really have a grasp on the consequences of our foreign policy

Is that builder trying to say he wants to vote reform... because holy moly fella further to the right is not a solution 😳.

Yep dont give them anything they will soon paddle back

Nick has a weekly slot on irish radio ,his opinion is complely different on all subjects

she is right...were experiencing "pay back"

We don’t have room infrastructure is crippled

Thank you Colin from Portsmouth... love to the family...love to the family

My Dad told me that he heard this same argument 60 years ago…..nothing has changed….sigh……😮

I'm gonna go to Sweden. They came here and pillaged... What a joke

Don’t put them on ferries, TURN BACK THE BOATS like Australia did. Problem fixed

These gammons love spewing nonsense about 'benefits', when they know very little about what people receive. He would 'benefit' from being much more informed.

well said donna👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

It's all about money for the government they don't care about social cohesion or our infrastructure it doesn't effect them, they see migrant men as more beneficial in terms of work, the government is depending too much on immigration.

Just let them in.. we have got unlimited room here.. we have a vast amount of empty housing.. our NHS is empty and needs patients.. schools are empty.. in short just let them in.. we have loads of room

4:10 points made 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 nothing she say was a lie

Love all these little englanders 😂😂😂

The Royal navy could just open fire on them.

Has that woman heard of the Ottomans who came and invaded GB.

Yes, that £35 per week is definitely why people are risking life and death for. Daily fail readers are thick

"70% are granted asylum". And 94% are granted permission to stay after appeal. In France 34% are granted asylum. No appeal.

Are they not human beings?

Send them back or do send them back

Guys , about france , we're not an attic where you can throw human beings . btw , you live in a safe country too . that's not an argument

Half the problem is we know what’s wrong.the other half is we’re afraid of the inappropriate way we would say it

"Blame ourselves" as if we are all individually responsible or complicit for the deeds of the ruling classes hundreds of years ago. It shouldn't be this easy to abuse or asylum system, we shouldn't have a home office that is ordered not to be skeptical about asylum claims. This is the ancestral homeland of the British, all people's deserve one this is ours! Most Britons can trace their DNA back to pre Roman Britain, this narrative that we have never had cultural homogeneity is false! We should curate and be proud of our culture and not only have a small oasis for the middle classes, I don't see any drive towards multiculturalism for the sake of multiculturalism in their towns and neighborhoods...... It's all about lowering the value of labour and increasing the value of housing and services.

It a bit lit kettle black - the english complaining people are coming to their country and taking what they want lol

Put machine gun positions on the south coast. Sink the boats.

Tories are the problem, not the poor

No, Tom, no. No one thinks that 20 years of Afghanistan was for them. No one. We're not American.

It’s time for fisherman to start sinking ships.

It can be stopped. Just tow them back to France. Give it a few weeks and it’ll be ended

In the real world .. .thanks lbc😂

'We should build a wall. A big beautiful wall the length of the south coast. And France is going to pay for it'. This'll get floated as a legitimate idea soon.

“Spongers” what a revolting individual

Oh dear, some of these callers have no idea. If they could, they should just read up on this issue and understand properly what is going on. Their ignorance is sadly a shame of a minority that has no understanding of what has been going on in comparatively recent years.

Chickens coming home to roost

Surprisingly no mention of a final solution...

Jonathan of Bishops Stortford "I've written to my local MP - I'm not going to say which one because its not my local MP" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Isn't this the same fool who phoned in to Sangita a few weeks back and abused her over the phone?

"I understand our history." What a fool

They Foreign Affairs Select Committee report said “If the primary object of the coalition intervention was the urgent need to protect civilians in Benghazi, then this objective was achieved in March 2011 in less than 24 hours."...it was after that they decided to change to regime change which created the mess in Libya, so the revisionism you are talking about is coming from LBC's Tom Swarbrick. We are creating a mess all over the world and then the people of those countries leave. The result of the French, British and US intervention, the report finds, “was political and economic collapse, inter-militia and inter-tribal warfare, humanitarian and migrant crises, widespread human rights violations, the spread of Gaddafi regime weapons across the region and the growth of Isil [Islamic State] in north Africa”.
