It’s good that people are seeing through their BS. But years ago when a low proportion of the people was saying that this government would screw this country over, they were called loopy liberals, communists and snowflakes. I wish I could say that it feels good that those people have been humbled, but the damage is so horrific.
They haven't been humbled they've just forgotten that they were wrong, or making endless excuses for it. Nothing has been learnt because no one in journalism is ever held to account for getting things wrong or even actively lying. In fact it seem the more journos lie the more likely they are to have a career in politics!
I agree, it is horrific, this government are so power hungry and greedy and will never take any accountability, they laugh at us all whilst remaining super rich and getting richer by the day whilst others are in the most dire situations all caused by their greed and lies and totally disgusting behaviour 😡 they simply don’t or ever have cared
People don't vote for things they mainly vote against. If Labour and the Left wasn't such a clusterfuck of incompetent morons and spiteful mutants who think victims of "grooming gangs" should shut up for the "sake of diversity" then what do you expect? Do you honestly think a complete and utter moron like Diane Abbot could've done a better job during Covid? She can't even do basic arithmetic. I hate the Tories just as much, but i'm also a realist and not blinded by ideology.
That's because everything is obviously still Labours fault, oh and the immigrants, and the gays, and the foreigners, and the trans people, and the common plebs. They're the ones in power here.
Anyone want to become an MP with free housing allowance free travel allowance with a massive Taxpayer funded Salary-Pension benefits & bonuses like a free £10.000 pandemic laptop allowance!!
It's like watching a 10 year old geting caught skipping school and saying "I don't necessarily agree that I was skipping school. I was home schooling myself"
'Illegal' and 'unnecessary'. Both terms that could be applied to much of what the Tory party has done during the last 12 years. Oh, and I forgot 'dangerous'. That would apply too.
I'd go further and say they're a proven danger to themselves and others. That's sectionable (men in white coats). Purebred eugenicist psychopaths shouldn't be allowed out in public.
It's bloody ridiculous mate I thought the red wall would hold them to account . They have total contempt for the working class people who put them in. Hopefully working class people won't be stupid enough to vote for them ever again
Every single time you hear any Tory MP speak you realise just how poor the education system at Oxford and Cambridge really is at present. They are neither intelligent nor particularly charismatic but simply got a position through knowing the right people. That pathway has left the country in its current state.
Oxford, where Darwin's cousin first made his announcements about his eugenics beliefs. They only need be psychopathic enough to do the damage to people and they'll be handed up to the top.
I've been a Tory all my life and I'm embarrassed with this Government. I've also realised I was stupid for not questioning more thoroughly the Brexit arguments. The country is going to pot and its down to the Tory party. I actually despise them and would now vote Labour (not because they are any good) just to jettison this Government.
Well thanks for the mess you dumped us in by voting for the party of the rich instead of the party of the working people. All the realities of brexit were known before but it was labeled project fear, and we were told not to listen to experts like respected economists. We didn't all fall for the tory lies but enough did to allow the tories to trash this country while making themselves uber rich.
I think you have to look at the record of different parties on things like health, education etc and decide on that basis. None of them are perfect but then neither am I.
"Trust is very important in government as you well know..." Now I have to call an ambulance. I have just fallen from my chair while laughing hysterically.
Maybe she (Braverman) should visit Rwanda. Of course she won't, for fear that her complexion would earn her a permanent address there and the loss of her passport. Why is is it though that I sincerely believe that if her own parents were deported she wouldn't give a shite (after all they are just "disgusting immigrants", right?).
He was fully behind the mini budget. He cheered it and defended it with an abundance of arrogance and smugness from the front bench and across all the TV networks. He is a liar.
Wow, the brightest and best looking after our interests. In a former life he would have been out of his depth as a very Junior Manager with a team of two to supervise.
Also "don't worry about the wait for an ambulance, have you written a will? Did you know you can leave a bequest to the party so we can continue the excellent work we have been doing during the last 12 years in power" 😂
You move to be close to family or friends. You may also move to get as far away from your country of origin as possible. If something happened here, I wouldn't be thinking of going to Ireland or France or Belgium, or the Netherlands. They're basically next door over the sea.
He deliberately kept referring to these asylum seekers and refugees as illegal immigrants. They have internationally recognised legal rights. They only become illegal once their applications are denied and fail to return.
Yet even Labour mps are doing it. Almost all of them are and to me it seems a sign of the return of racism to politics. Was nice when it went away for a year or 2.
If he performs as bad as he did in his last role as key part of the Mini Budget, we are in trouble - again. Why did Sunak keep this guy after the mini budget catastrophe.
As a scapegoat. It's useful to keep people around who have a track record of incompetence to take the fall for future mistakes. That's why these Tory governments surround themselves with idiots.
I’m far from an academic, merely a casual observer, but why do these people have such an aversion to apologising? Politics isn’t about getting everything right, all of the time. To me, it’s about having the humility to accept that tough decisions need to be made, and that when they’re made incorrectly, then you acknowledge that and build from there. On the one hand we’re told that “trust in politicians is of paramount importance” but if they won’t apologise because it’s an admission and recognition of failure, how do they ever expect to be trusted on anything?
The problem is that the UK govt are quick to comment on, condemn and stick their oars in to other nations affairs, especially when they deem others to be in the wrong. They are not as quick to actually step up and help said people in trouble. All talk no action! And they wonder why they're getting laughed at on the world stage!?
@@b62boom1 Sangatte was the notorious refugee camp, not sure if the immigration centre was there; there were two British immigration centres, one of which was in Nice I think. Seems unlikely our government would conveniently have an office at Sangatte, British governments always liked to make it as difficult as possible for people to apply.Sangatte did have a Red Cross Centre,so they might have done some of the work.
@@mjwilliamsb2676 fat chance of that, the Tories need enemies to divert our attention away from their failure. We already take less refugees than other comparable countries in Europe, and we should open a processing centre in France and make fair decisions. It's only a problem because they want to maintain a siege mentality in the population.
@@tezinho81 True, but also they don't want to work closely with any European country, thereby maintaining their ridiculous and useless chest beating Brexit idealism... they behave like all EU countries are enemies, and its worn very thin even for those who believed it in the first place. As for the Tories needing enemies, they;ve got plenty in the UK, about 65% of the country fit that bill...
After the mini budget, Philps was doing the rounds on all the talk shows and banging on about how good the tax cuts were going to be for growth and categorically ruled out the Government would do an u-turn on any of the tax cuts, he was blaming international pressures for the run on the pound. Now he's acting like he wasn't even part of that government, he was second in charge in the Treasury and was instrumental in that policy. Man has no shame.
No longer in the Dublin agreement due to Brexit . This agreement meant that member states shared the load equally and fairly . This issue has erupted since we came out of the EU
Correct. Although I would argue it isn't the issue tory scum make it out to be, unless you're a moral devoid corrupt government who uses xenophobia and racism as a tool to create a perpetual bogeyman, which you just conveniently always have a snake oil antidote for. People dying and being trafficked is their fault. It only happens because they refuse to create safe routes.
Dublin agreement was about processing asylum applications, and the responsibilities of member states in dealing with the application processes, while it is being processed.
A lot of the people come in and seek asylum from Syria without any need for it; well settled people who come for the free hosting. I agree that we should give asylum, but at least check thoroughly so that the most needy are benefiting and getting the help they deserve! I think that's the issue. Useless government.
Notice how they never compare with how many asylum claims are accepted by EU countries. All they do is bang on about safe countries, there is now requirement to claim asylum in the first country you get to.
Yeah a "bit of a cheek" to ask for basic human rights to be upheld and not get Victorian era diseases or be forced to sleep rough for the new crime of seeking saftey from war or slavery. The government are treating them like prisoners and the policing minister, who clearly knows better, doesn't even want to give them the same standard of living that prisoners are entitled to. Regardless the borders bill that these people have, supposedly and without trial violated, breaches UK and international law and shouldn't even be considered valid legislation. The only reason there is such a backlog is because ministers are putting pressure on the home office to stall the asylum application process, because they don't want to be required to accept valid applications.
"After 12 years in power, are you going to take responsibility?" "Erm, OH LOOK! MIGRANTS! EU! CORBYN! RUSSIA!" "Can you stop trying to deflect?" "JIMMY SAVILLE!!!!!"
These complaints are because conditions are life threatening. Not because the champagne wasn't chilled enough. Pompous little twisted little Tory with his squeakie little arrfing garffing voice should be sent there for Christmas Also the Tory could invite its nearest and dearest .
The failure of this government is all to see. Just take a look around your city and compare it to 12 yrs ago and you find the answer. The Tories have failed the people as well as the country. Xx
The uk has 135,000 refugees, Turkey has 3.7 million, Colombia has 2.5 million, Germany has 2.2 million. The uk takes in a very small number of refugees compared to other countries!
Shhhhhhh Andy don't go stating provable statistics at people! Everyone knows the UK takes in 100 million 'illegals' per year, they get given a mansion, 100 grand per month and a whatever car they want! I read it in the Daily Mail so it must be true!
Mick Lynch called him a liar to his face about 15 times... and rightly so. In that compilation alone there were a shed load of lies. It's what Philp does, and why they send him out.
Because everyone was terrified of a kind old man who wanted to give us free broadband! They said he’d take us back to the 1970s. They took us back to the 70s anyway. Except in the 70s a butcher and a clerk could buy a house. Now a butcher and a clerk relies on food banks. But at least Corbyn wasn’t elected
So sick of this man continuously saying "illegal migrants" when they are definitely not illegal and he seems to pulling the numbers of refugees settled in this country over the last year out of thin air.
A lot ARE and some are not ! It is not just one homgonised group. He is talking about ILLEGAL migrants - he was not talking about GENUINE REFUGEES and ASYLUM SEEKERS. These two demographics are different.
@@MMSSLL no: He was labelling ILLEGAL migrants (ie: ones that have no reason to claim asylum ) as 'illegal' because, that is what the international law is. As opposed to LEGAL asylum seekers, who have a good reason to battle their way to the UK in a boat. Eg: Albania or Algeria are not a war torn place where people are being abused, though some other places are. Of course, discerning and deciding and sifting through that mess, of who is legal and who is not, takes time. Meanwhile, they go into hotels in the UK. In France they are under cardboard. It is possible one motivation to battle to the UK, is they know they may likely get better conditions, than in France. To claim, what you claim he states, would be totally illogical and laughable, even for this Minister, as it makes no sense. Where is the stat that says 85% are upheld ? Perhaps that is not in reference to recent times ?
@@junctionfilms6348 correct me if im wrong as I'm not here to argue but I thought that the processing stage was when the government determined if they are here legally or illegally? How do we know who is and isn't a rightful asylum seeker until we've processed them? Anyone who is processed and found to be not an asylum seeker should be removed but labelling anyone who crosses as illegal before we've even processed them seems wrong. If they are processed and found to not be in need chuck them out but I'm not okay with the government labelling those who have not yet been processed "illegal"
The beauty of getting tag-fucked, "what do you mean, ruined the economy, I've only just been tagged in, it's my first time! Now, tough decisions are going to have to be made, so bite down on this"
"Doing our best" and "we/I apologise for blah, blah, blah" (aka: getting caught)....and ALL this for almost 13 (yes! 13 years!!!) and is ALL STILL EVERYBODY else's fault _except_ theirs!!!! General f'ing elections NOW.
He talked of Syrias Afghanistans and Ukraines refugees and kept saying the word "unnecessary" and i find myself partly in agreemeent, in as much as Britains involvement in the situations that caused the refugee crisis in multiple countries was unnecessary. The refugee crisis is the result of political and military misadventures over the last 2 decades and blaming the refugees for their plight is transparent to anyone with a critical eye that has been paying attention
I got to know tonnes of Syrian/Afghan/allsorts of refugees and what breaks my heart is they all had such a romantic notion of Britain. Quite glad none of them ended up here because it would have been shattered.
It’s not illegal to seek asylum in any country, so I wish they’d stop saying that it is. Maybe if we had more legal entry points we wouldn’t have this chaos?
Fact is the Tories felt they were losing support tae UKIP and so they made a point of keeping racists happy by making immigration and Asylum seeking nearly impossible. They've been pretty open about it. The thinking is if they make the process more difficult, it will make folk not want tae attempt it. This is why the human smuggling has grown.
Immigration has increased. 1 million last year. Look at the data, Conservatives love mass immigration as its cheap labour and future consumers for capitalism.
@@evolassunglasses4673 536k in 334k out so net 202k looking at other years that seems about average. 700k births and 600k deaths. Still not sure what you're getting at though
@@evolassunglasses4673 They have a history of weaponising Racism. Given that their popularity is currently free falling they are getting desperate. They need tae pretend Brexit isn't a clusterfuck despite knowing it is and keeping the racists happy or they know they'll lose their support. They've made a lovely noose for themselves and only just realised it's around their own neck.
Those were some interesting immigration numbers. 20,000 from Syria, 20,000 from Afghanistan, 100,000 from China... Almost like they're giving aid to people from countries they hope to make deals with when the population can return home 🤔 Or since it's the Tories, based on the Dulux colour chart. Anything above caramel is too dark, you can't come in.
Chris Philip always looks scared on interviews. Flaffing his words. I'm sure the Tories send him to interviews just so they can watch them in future episode of "It'll be alright on the night" 🤣
It's just lie after lie. "They're illegal, they have no reason to come here" then when questioned why alot are just dumped on the streets "well alot of them have friends and family here" so which is it? The fact is we are a signed member of the 1951 treaty which means we have a duty to take our fair share of asylum seekers under international law, that treaty also states that asylum seekers do not have to stop in any particular country in the treaty or the first safe country in the treaty and that they can make there way to the country of preference and then claim asylum once there. We could build processing facilities on the north coast of France to stop the dangerous Channel crossings but the tories won't do it despite France saying it would participate in that endeavour. The tories do not care about the well being of migrants or the well being of British citizens. They are keeping the system deliberately broken to use migration as a political tool, ie manufacturing a "problem" that they can then say only they can fix everytime an election is near. The suffering and death they inflict on the most vulnerable for their own gain is monstrous.
01:46 Being a Member of Parliament isn’t a qualification. You need more skill, expertise and qualifications to work in a McDonald’s than you do to become an MP. The only thing required to be an MP (apart from winning what is effectively nothing more than a popularity contest with voters) is that you are over the age of 18 and a U.K. citizen, that’s it. No GCSEs, no A Levels, no degree or experience of any kind.
Many times he said they were illegal, not true. Many times he said that because they were in France and it's safe there then they can't come here, not true. Simply not agreeing that the accomodation was inhumane and we have better standards than elsewhere is just blatant disregard. Passing the entire blame onto others. None pushed back against Chris Philip - they just let him say his peace and simply continued. His morning wasn't that bad ...
Belgium, France and Germany take far more refugees per capita than the UK. Also, outside the UK, including British embassies, there is no legal way to apply for refugee status for the UK. So, can anyone explain to me how a person say from Eritrea can apply for asylum in UK without passing through a safe country like France, Belgium? Otherwise, according to the wishes of the current government, they should apply for asylum in that country and thus save the UK the trouble. And why is this logical question, which even a 12-year-old child can come up with, never asked by British so-called "journalists"? And then the British media are surprised that they have lowest confidence in Europe.
Just parroting what he is told to say over and over again. The Tory Ministers have no comassion, empathy or humanity. If the asylum accomodation is so good, then let the ministers stay there for a week !
All this whining about being overwhelmed-you get a fraction of the numbers other countries see and many of then deal quite successfully with them- house people, process their legal claims and either let them stay and work or send them back! I am even talking about countries with landborders …. Just do your job as a government
Can more people challenge this guy on whether asylum seekers are entering illegally. If they're claiming asylum, they're NOT entering illegally. It is not possible to be an illegal asylum seeker. You are an asylum seeker until your case is heard and a decision is made as to whether you can stay. If the decision is made that you can, then you're here legally, and if it's that you're not, then you're not an asylum seeker.
