Mr Lambert, me again greetings from Portugal. I came to the UK after gulf war 1. I had previously been in the UK but after DMOB from the Portuguese marines I went there legally as a EU national.....studied, worked my socks off and eventually entered the work force as a qualified I.T engineer. Eventually I became a top rate of tax payer, and worked in some high profile places, including looking after the NHS for a well known American I.T manufacturer. That did not stop me being called a citizen of no where, a q jumper and a bargaining chip, and being denied a vote on something so fundamental as.....me and my families future. in 2023 eventually redundancy came as a result of Brexit, I gathered my redundancy and ran as fast as I could back to Portugal, after witnessing the hate and xenophobia in the intervening years (including a friend of mine being assaulted on the streets of London, in front of her 3 kids two days after Amber Rudd's hate speech incident) for speaking Portuguese to her husband on the phone. Nothing was done at all. Our crime ?? being Portuguese in a country that hates us ?? I get home to a village of 7000......723 British immigrants !!! my story, I will never ever set foot in the UK ever again. PLEASE SOME ONE TELL ME WHAT MY CRIME AND MY FRIENDS WAS??? YES I used the NHS I paid for it as a top rate of tax payer !!!! I repeat I am now back in Portugal, and will never ever leave this land again THE UK OWES EVERY EU CITIZEN AN APOLOGY !!. for the way we were treated I will always discourage anyone from here moving to the UK after my experiences.but I do not think i have too!!. having said all this I wish you all well

10:00 - Yes, we need to take a "fair share" of Asylum Seekers within the boundaries of Europe. As seen from the EU, we are not necessarily taking that share. One of the problems is that Britain may be accomodating more "legal" migrants than any European country - and thus the press and parts of the public hold the opinion that Britain is flooded by Asylum Seekers. The real problem is government "accountability" and "responsibility" for identifying and accounting for migration and asylum numbers. Without an ID system, as it is maintained by every other country, the UK will not get a grip on this situation.

10:18 - Excluding Europeans via Brexit was indeed the biggest mistake. Most Europeans maintained their close contacts to Europe, were integrated and, by the "mutuality" of the EU rules, enabled us (Brits) to live, study, retire and work in Europe. What Brexit has done is strip all Europeans, and Brits of "Freedom of Movement". The real question to ask is: Is Freedom of Movement a right that was removed, rather than just a "contractual obligation" arising from EU Membership. I will argue that, for many it was a "fundamental right", and that the "general" infringement of that right was, and is a "criminal act".

It's a membership benefit. For members. Like the pool and the sauna at the gym. If you're not a member, it's not available to you. Just members. Any rights you had were derived from your nation of citizenship's membership. When your nation of citizenship ended its membership, those rights ended with it. Or if you want the EU treaty version of it - Per the definition, an EU citizen is a person who is a citizen of a nation that is a current member of the EU. So it's crystal clear that upon Brexit, when the UK ceased to be an EU member, UK citizens automatically ceased to be EU citizens, thus losing the privileges and responsibilities that comes with EU citizenship. Better minds than you have tried to prosecute the delusions you spout, and been shut down by the court.

I understand the UK's immigration policy took a disastrous turn for the worse after the Tories hosted a forum where Australia's Mad Monk, former prime-minister Tony Abbot spoke of his immigration policies, and we in Australia got to enjoy how well his bitterly cruel polices didn't work! "Ah, you're an asylum seeker, aren you! Don't bother unpacking your bags, we're sending you off to Manus Island or Nauru, locked up for an inexplicitly indeterminate period of time where you will enjoy living in a damp tent in a hot humid climate to enjoy tropical storms without any hope of reprieve." The policy didn't do anything for reducing the illegal arrivals but cost the taxpayer a whole heap of cash that could have been better spent on I don't know, perhaps health, education, law enforcement, infrastructure... And to make matters worse, the Australian government makes it nigh on impossible to come here legally; I know, it cost us equivalent of AUD$75,000 to get my partner here legally, and he has 2 Degrees, 2 Masters and a PhD and requests from prestigious universities to come work for them. Meanwhile, people wonder why Australia cannot attract the right sort of immigrants. Just look at the ridiculous policies... Sadly the UK is making exactly the same mistakes Australia has already made.

Immigration is a good thing and indeed necessary, but it must be controlled through a robust immigration policy, which I'm sorry to say, neither Ireland nor Britain has currently got in place.

Hi Michael ! The people you saw camping in Green Park are Eastern European gypsies and we know them well. They are settled in the north of Slovakia and Romania. They rarely integrate, mostly they send their women out to beg or steal in the subway or from homes. They use public services (water, electricity, gas etc.) without paying. I have always seen them in camps on the outskirts of the city; it seems outrageous to me that they go and pitch their tents in the heart of London. What has England become?

Michael, thank you for this. Sometimes I wonder if the political leadership in Britain understand what they’ve squandered in their populist pandering on immigration. The UK wasn’t just an attractive job market among many for Europeans, it was THE magnet job market and society for so many. It’s one of the few EU countries that attracted migration both from poorer members (for obvious reasons) and from wealthier, smaller counties that lack the culturally liberal and cosmopolitan atmosphere that used to characterise London and SE England. Coming from a wealthy but conformist Scandinavian society myself, London was a breath of fresh air where I simply felt freer as a person. Interestingly, London was a hub for EU gays, a group that tends to be more highly educated than the average and who rarely have children and thus are a net gain for the recipient country. No more. What enabled this wonderful social atmosphere for expats is of course the common denominator in the English language. I assure you no one looked at the NHS or Britain’s pitiful social welfare systems and thought “this is the place for me!”. No, it was always about some other intangible variable that perhaps only exists in certain hub cities in America these days. What you had came about organically and is almost impossible to replicate. Sure, Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, et al may rush to fill the void, but all of the new contenders lack the combination of factors that made London and SE England such a great place for foreigners, above all-the language. Many larger companies in Scandinavia and Germanic Europe at large use English as the language of business and it’s often possible for English speakers to take jobs in these countries. But the social dimension is lost when English isn’t the language of going out, of chatting with a stranger at the gym or the bus stop, etc. You had something others desperately covet and can never achieve due to the reasons laid out above. And you threw it all away to appease bitter working class voters who’ve failed to adjust to the modern economy for decades and middle class bigots yearning for when foreigners were relegated to being the help. Brexit truly is the biggest own goal in history and I mourn what we lost every day.

Bitter working class voters - You don't even know what you're talking about. The biggest demographic who voted for brexit was older, middle-class voters in rural, leafy green communities in the south and middle of england. I also like how you completely disregard the existence of the rest of england or the social / regional contexts. All you actually care about mourning is the south-east feeling inclusive. You never even stopped to ask the question about the rest of england; if you lived in the south east or london for any length of time, you probably fell in line with the feeling of utter indifference to the rest of the country, opting to live in a bubble. And that's exactly why you'd pin the blame for brexit on bitter working class voters who weren't even the social demographic chiefly responsible for brexit - the rural middle-class was.

I don't have a solution to the migrant issue,but s few things clearlyneed to be addressed urgently. The people who are committing crimes and serious nuisance should be prioritised and removed from the UK. Those asylum seekers who have. been awaiting processing should be dealt with on a first come first served basis, those who are deemed to have righful refugee status should be settled and found gainful and lawful employment and settled here, paying their own way like everyone else. It seems ridiculous that the government are concentrating their efforts on dealing with migrants who haven't even arrived here yet. Of course the irregular channel crossings must be dealt with, so maybe the most pragmatic approach would be to arrange safe routes into the UK, at least as an interim measure until applicantz can either be processed before they cross the channel, or we catch up on the backlog and process applicants more efficiently and rapidly. Even so those who do not have the right to remain in the UK will probably still find ways to get here, but at least not in the numbers that make it attractive enough for criminals to make a business of it.

I'm only 3 minutes into the video. Michael, I have faith in your judgements and in your honesty - as I have followed all your publications for years. While following the "mainstream" press, opinion pieces and commentaries, a vague idea I have had for years, perhaps decades, has crystallised in my mind. I would really like to hear your opinion on the following: The UK is a "quandary". An often heard suggestion is that the UK has no need for ID cards - that such measures would be tantamount to living in a "dictatorship", or even the equivalent of a "fascist State". Most of the discussions revolve around the "small boats". I recall that, perhaps a decade ago, there was widespread criticism of the UK Border Force. It was noted that the UKBF did not count "people in" nor "people out" at the border points, ports and airports. My suspicion is that this "problem" was never "fixed". The correlation that has manifested itself in my thoughts is that the "small boats" are the momentary "obsession" (or "scapegoat") in the general public focus. My related concern is that the Border Force "Fiasco", and the fact that the UK appears to be the only country that does not require ID, are pretty well out of the attention of the public - and of the government. The conclusion I have drawn is that the UK is an ideal place to "disappear" into. No "inquiry" and no Census seems capable of really determining how many people have arrived in the UK with legitimate tourist or work visas or entry papers - nor how many (or who) have left the UK. There appear to be a plethora of work opportunities that can be taken up without any questions asked. If someone has their tourist or other visa and their air fare funded by an illegitimate employer or a "gang", there would be no reasonable way to prevent them entering the UK - and certainly no possibility of ensuring they left the UK as per their Visa. If Keir Starter is serious about cleaning up the "mess" the Tories left behind, I believe we will be getting some incredible information, perhaps even statistics coming out of the Home Office.

In short, even legal migrants coming from stable, developed countries, have challenges that those born here do not have - and do not always appreciate.

Do you know why the small boats have exploded Michael? We left the Dublin Agreement when we left the EU. No reason to do so, but we did. Anyhow the Dublin Agreement saw that we could send asylum seekers back to the 1st safe country these people came to. And here is how geography helped us, the UK is based in North Europe, and the vast majority of those seeking asylum pass through Southern Europe - hence them being returned to Southern Europe. The Dublin Agreement was a deterrent, to those seeking asylum in the UK, because they knew they would be promptly sent back to the 1st safe country, who were a part of the Dublin Agreement, they had to pass through to get here. The small boat operators saw an opportunity based on a dumb, stupid and arrogant (the Tories were warned by civil servants of the incoming problem when the EU Referendum was announced) list, May, Truss and Johnson,.of Tory PMs.

EU regulations known as "Dublin III", which determine where an asylum-seeker's claim is heard, were being used to "frustrate the returns of those who have no right to be here," the Home Office said. If you want to send somebody to France, then you have got to do it with French agreement, you can't just launch them on a rocket into French territory," he said. Without a new agreement at the end of the Brexit transition period in January, the UK would "go from a situation where it's not easy necessarily to remove people to EU countries, to a situation where it's impossible because there is just no way of securing their agreement to accept people back," he said."

It seems to me that one of the principal objections to immigration is the cultural difference and its perceived dangers. These, effectively, didn’t exist with EU immigration so a different aspect of xenophobia was applied. It also appears that the children of immigrants seem to do quite well politically.

1)I think Liz Webster and other farmers need to know about the first immigrats you showed us. If their goal is to work and farmers need staff, they need to get together. However, considering the availability of accommodation, they might all have jobs (cash in hans of course, but they are needed by the economy) and just have no other option, but to squat where they are. But sadly, they will, as you said, give immigrants a bad name. There is nothing like ignorance to whip up hostility...Nothing like knowing you are illegal to make you hostile. Michael, I think you need a more sensitive approach :) But I could imagine the government rounding them all up to go to the country and work on farms. 2)No contest: asylum seekers must have an easier way to get here. 3) the first migrants you showed us were from Europe... Not bringing dependents when you come from the Philippines, India etc, and you have a permanent job in hospitals etc is cruel.I do not agree that we are reservng the low paid jobs for ourselves, but we are in a stupid situation of our own making and claiming ONLY high wages can come here does not address our real needs, and theirs.

I am really confused now! How come Braverman could order that homeless people's tents where taken away and destroyed, while here seemingly it can't be done? And she mocked them about their 'lifestyle choices' on top of it. What is going on? It doesn't ring true at all. Either it is legal to go in and take tents away, or if it is illegal without a court decision, then she has committed a crime in taking away theirs without a court decision. If she has committed a crime by taking away homeless people's tents, she herself should feel the full power of the law.

They probably don't want to be filmed. Making such comments towards people you don't even know just because they behaved aggressively when you could clearly see they were In a bad position is exactly the kind of attitude that leads to issues like homelessness and addiction not being tackled in the UK, because as soon as the homeless or addicts even slightly inconvenience the general public, they lose any empathy they could previously exhibit, and the fact most people don't even bother with them in the first place is exactly why we have squatting, pickpocketing and shoplifting from people of all ethnicities and immigration statuses in the UK - the common theme is social degradation.

I would have liked to know by what legalities the tents in the park were allowed to stay. Also, there is no rule saying you can't film in a public place, i would have thought. The area should be polices to stop agression, or go in with a body guard. I don't understand why their papers aren't being checked and false addresses, and them kicked out if not complying. Maybe they are all in essential jobs and living elsewhere is unaffordable, or impractically too far away. Too bad they're not amenable to talking and explaining the situation. So they must be up to no good. We had a situation in Sydney Australia CBD where what was a few tents to protest about rising homelessness turned into a massive tent city. But it was peaceful and organised, with allocated leaders and food vans. So even homeless women felt safe there. After a while the City Council moved them all out, with notice given. It was taking up too much space from pedestrians and it was an inappropriate eyesore, really. But they never bothered passers by, and no one bothered them with filming or entering the actual tent space. It was all quiet and respectful. If a tent person with mental health/ aggression issues started misbehaving, a leader came right over to calm them down firmly and nicely. There was another park more out of the way but visible from the main train line on the CBD edge that always had some tents along a fence line for probably years - might still be there. The park was still easily useable for everyone else..

Hi Michael, a difficult subject - migrants. The Park Lane migrant camp is a deliberate provocation. The individual who threatened you are part of criminal gangs who deliberately target upmarket areas all over Western Europe. I'm glad you weren't harmed in anyway. Being of Irish birth I've seen many relations and school pals migrate to 'The Mainland' for education and working opportunities. Many stayed and either got married or settled down having children. Those children have now become the entrepreneurs and business leaders in many different sectors of the UK economy. The UK gave those Irish migrants so many opportunities even with a conflict in Northern Ireland the UK never turned their backs on the Irish community. The UK needs again to see the value of migrants to the economy. Education plays a big part and migrants especially see education as their chance to achieve and become high achieving professionals. It's not the NHS that brings migrants here. The UK should not shutout decent well meaning migrants who want to work especially as they don't have to do that where they're coming from. Well done Michael.

I think that what we should do, is stop doing things that damage other people´s countries. I.e the Iraq, Libyan and Syrian wars have all contributed a lot to this crisis. Not only that, a lot of countries are still effectively economic colonies and their development is being held back. The First world countries aren´t uniquely responsible for this, but they bear a large share of the responsibility for sure.

I’m talking about teachers, doctors, nurses, engineers and many other STEM based professions that are needed for a normal functioning society.

Do you ever wonder who lives in the most expensive houses? Well the thing is once upon a time we had huge industry in the UK, so typical occupants would be say the head of GEC or similar. Today that industry has gone. It went the US and then to Japan and now it is in China. Capitalists were known to be pretty rich, but there is a class which are orders of magnitude richer. A capitalist takes a share of the pie in his particular industry. In a socialist state there is only one power and the head of that is who we are talking about. Far from being capitalists, the new occupants are socialists.

Hi Michael. Don't shoot at Romanians unless you know it for fact. I have heard you use the Romanians as an example several times in several videos. Romania is doing very well, especially compared to 15-20 years ago. I remember when they entered the EU, everything that wasn't bolted here, could be found in Romania. Later it went away, unless a few Roma's, doing trick theft. We have a couple of huge projects, here in DK, bridge and tunnels. There are many Romanians working on these projects, and I haven't heard of any problems. We would not be able to build all this, without them. We are simply too few. I think it is time, we remove the old label from the Romanians. From Bing AI: United Kingdom The unemployment rate in the UK was 4.2% for the period of April to June 2024. This is a slight increase from previous months but still relatively low compared to historical data. Romania Romania’s unemployment rate was 5.4% as of July 2024. This rate has been relatively stable, reflecting the broader economic conditions in the country.
