337,000 overseas worker visas. and that's up by 26% on the previous 12 months. now, we all know about the number of foreign workers in the health and social care sector. well they got more than 146,000 visas, which was an increase of a massive 91. and the number of dependents coming to the uk also went through the roof. there were more than 279,000 dependent visas issued, which was up by 80% on the previous year. now, of course , previous year. now, of course, the former home secretary, suella braverman , has been suella braverman, has been a very vocal critic of the government's migration policy and she's responded to today's figures by saying this the prime minister must adopt policies. i push for that would have prevented this national disaster . we need a cap on overall numbers . . we need a cap on overall numbers. britain will be unrecognisable if this carries on. it's not what the british people, including me, voted for

or powerful words there from suella braverman. in response to astonishing figures which i want to go through now, i'm joined by our mehmet, who of course, is the chairman of migration. watch out . welcome to the show. once out. welcome to the show. once again, we hear time and time again, we hear time and time again out. we voted to take back control of our country. these figures seem to me like a final capitulation. this is a country that's almost surrendering. its borders . borders. >> this is immigration out of control , not under control . control, not under control. >> frankly , i'm i'm really >> frankly, i'm i'm really shocked . at 1.4 million long shocked. at 1.4 million long terme visas is the highest ever. and what is more worrying is that there's no sign that there's any prospect of this reducing. >> if you look at the individual areas where the numbers that you've just read out, if you look at them, the fact is we're

not going to see a fall in student numbers. >> we're not going to see a fall in workers coming here. >> we're not going to see a fall in the numbers of people coming for here family or whatever, which means that we're going to go on and on with this massive absolutely massive net migration figure, which is going to lead to more millions of people being added to our population. >> almost entirely due to immigration in a very short time . we just cannot cope with that. thatis . we just cannot cope with that. that is dangerous . that is dangerous. >> and also out on top of this, to pile misery upon misery. >> the labour party have put figures out today about the true cost of all of this. of course, we've been told it was a mere £7 million a day to house asylum seekers in hotels . turns out seekers in hotels. turns out it's more than double that

figure £15 million every single day. >> out, £4.3 billion in total. >> out, £4.3 billion in total. >> the entire asylum process last year. this is an extortionate amount of money at a time when many britons are basically struggling to heat their homes and eat food . yeah absolutely. >> although, um, coming from the labour party, it's a bit rich . i labour party, it's a bit rich. i nofice labour party, it's a bit rich. i notice that they haven't really said how they would reduce these numbers . in said how they would reduce these numbers. in fact, said how they would reduce these numbers . in fact, they encourage numbers. in fact, they encourage that the high growth rate of 62,000 and more people who were granted some sort of leave to remain , if not asylum last year , remain, if not asylum last year, the labour party was saying, come on, do this quickly. >> do it more quickly. well, in the end , we ended up in in an the end, we ended up in in an amnesty in all but name , and amnesty in all but name, and that's where i'm worried. >> and that's why i think that however much these figures are

astonishing thing, they're going to get even worse unless we start debating seriously about how we're going to reduce net migration and the inflow in the way that suella braverman has suggested it have, uh, an overall ceiling, have a, uh, a figure that we can say, right, we'll get these people in no more this year. >> next year , we will arrive at >> next year, we will arrive at a different, uh, ceiling to allow the people that were needed. >> and martin, can i just add, you know, people say net migration . closer to zero. migration. closer to zero. >> that doesn't mean that no one comes in. that means that the number of people who arrive is pretty much equal to the number of people who leave. so you can still have half a million people

coming here to do the jobs, provide the skills, and join family . and still and still family. and still and still have, uh , net migration. much have, uh, net migration. much much closer to the sort of levels that, uh, will stabilise our population rather than explode it . and of course, we've explode it. and of course, we've also seen this week, david neil, who was sacked as the chief inspector of borders and immigration , saying blowing the immigration, saying blowing the whistle , saying that even a lot whistle, saying that even a lot of these curves in particular are being abused , 25% of them. are being abused, 25% of them. he said , aren't even working in he said, aren't even working in the sector or for a very short penod the sector or for a very short period of time. and when you go into the detail of where the family visas, the dependent visas are going , it's in that visas are going, it's in that sector , um, 73% of all dependent sector, um, 73% of all dependent visas are in the care sector. so every which way you look at it out, it seems there's an opportunity to make britain your permanent home. yeah. no

absolutely. and i smiled a bit when i saw that the reaction to the abuse that was going on in the abuse that was going on in the care sector visa scheme, uh, when we're effectively handing responsibility for recruiting to the employers and to agents in countries where, frankly, corruption is rife, i, i, i'm a bit shocked that there was the naivety in the home office to think that it wouldn't happen. uh apart from the fact that that it has frankly , they should have it has frankly, they should have known that it was coming all along and they didn't. known that it was coming all along and they didn't . they're along and they didn't. they're not up to the job at the moment. i'm afraid of controlling our borders and keeping us all safe . borders and keeping us all safe. okay, out bakhmut, the chairman of migration watch , thank you of migration watch, thank you for joining us once again with again, very sobering words. now we will of course, have lots more on on today's immigration

over for a long over the country for a long time, now seems they're time, but now it seems they're taking well, the taking it seriously. well, the powers are martin. powers are there are martin. >> it's matter >> they can. it's a matter of enforcing saw enforcing them. you saw for yourself that message about yourself when that message about jews and israel was being projected ben's projected onto the big ben's tower. why wasn't that projected being dealt with? why wasn't someone throwing a blanket over it? removing it? kicking it over, removing it? kicking it over, removing it? it didn't happen. the police allowed happen what's allowed it to happen. what's happened got happened overnight? we've got this protocol here from the this new protocol here from the government defending government called defending democracy policy . protocol. when democracy policy. protocol. when the now agreed to the all forces now agreed to take, um, action in advance of any of any issues breaking out people into people's homes people going into people's homes . summary, saying . in summary, they're saying here that 48 hours before, here that that 48 hours before, um, an event , forces will commit um, an event, forces will commit to engaging with the politician in the mps candidates and in the mps and candidates and ensure that they can deal with any, any, any problems coming up, a protest at the home up, uh, a protest at the home addresses be as addresses will be seen as intimidatory and be enforced intimidatory and can be enforced under section 42 of criminal under section 42 of the criminal justice act. so all justice and police act. so all sorts measures. but as mike sorts of measures. but as mike freer that's is that freer says, that's is that enough ? is that the enough? is that going to the heart where problems heart of where the problems are caused spoke caused by earlier? we spoke to lord , who's an a

lord walney, who's an he's a former mp , uh, labour mp, former mp, uh, labour mp, who's done this very m atteh >> matter. >> people are not making this up. you can see the level often of um intimate action that is intended on on this. i mean, i've been i've gone into a defence event recently where i had you everyone who ran the gauntlet was being shouted at, screamed at horrific things , screamed at horrific things, said to them, my megaphone in their face, and that is not about changing people's minds. look, the right to protest, the right to debate, the right to get your point across your get your point across to your member of parliament is a foundation our democracy. but foundation of our democracy. but what is happening often at the moment is not that it's about an implied threat of menace and a big physical protest is only one way of many ways in which you can get your point across . but can get your point across. but actually, i think we need to reset the balance and remind people that if they want to change people's minds , as we've change people's minds, as we've we've got an electorate , a

we've got an electorate, a process of elections to do that. and you can put yourself forward and you can win a majority . and and you can win a majority. and if can't get a majority of if you can't get a majority of people to agree with you, it's not really an acceptable subject to think you can menace people who are there into doing what you want . and that's what we saw you want. and that's what we saw in in the house of commons last week . and that's why a lot of week. and that's why a lot of people are thinking, hang on a minute, this isn't right. we need to reset the balance here. >> and was lord walney >> and that was lord walney speaking to gloria de piero for gb news. but chris begs the simple question they have the bills . have they got the will to bills. have they got the will to enforce it at street level? as i said, as you said, they can already arrest people for wearing balaclavas. they don't . wearing balaclavas. they don't. they can already arrest them for going on war memorials. they don't. when are they actually going well, going to clamp down? well, these are choices made on the ground by policing . by operation, policing. >> and have had tory mps >> and we have had tory mps on this channel haven't this channel before, haven't we, saying earth can't saying why can't earth can't we, the over the the government take over the policing? which ridiculous policing? which is ridiculous because mps decide because the point is mps decide the laws of operationally police

just and go , they enforce just go and go, they enforce laws and go where the takes laws and go where the law takes them. i think this new protocol agreed with all the agreed by overnight with all the police chiefs in england and wales and reinforced the pm wales and reinforced by the pm essentially reading the reading the act, martin on to the the riot act, martin on to the police and with it . police and get on with it. you've the i'm not you've got the powers. i'm not going any more power to going to give any more power to get on with it and force them and ensure that our democracy isn't, is not, you know, dealt with way influenced. with or in any way influenced. we week with the we saw it last week with the debate gaza and hamas debate in on on gaza and hamas and israel and that can't happen again. >> it's just astonishing, chris, that taken basically the that it's taken basically the mob knocking on their own door before they finally woke up to what many have what i think many of us have been knowing saying for been knowing and saying for many, many years that the situation has been to situation has been allowed to get there the marches. get out of there on the marches. >> it for years and >> you've seen it for years and they are febrile . they are febrile. >> they are. they are out of control . we're seeing council control. we're seeing council meetings stormed left. right. >> should say there are >> i should say there are concerns of course, from amnesty. say we amnesty. they say that we don't want the baby out with want to throw the baby out with the water, that must want to throw the baby out with the a water, that must want to throw the baby out with the a right er, that must want to throw the baby out with the a right to that must want to throw the baby out with the a right to protest. must have a right to protest. it's historically allowed for hundreds this

hundreds of years in this country. to too country. so not not to go too far, it's certainly far, but it's certainly around the people see the edges. people want to see some action these some action with these demonstrations weeks . demonstrations in future weeks. >> chris obe always >> good stuff. chris obe always a see you again a pleasure to see you again later in show. cheers later in the show. cheers now moving report has revealed moving on. a report has revealed that wayne cousins's history of alleged offending went alleged sexual offending went back nearly 20 years, years before he killed sarah everard . before he killed sarah everard. i'm martin daubney on gb news, britain's news channel .

welcome back.324 welcome back. 324 you're watching or listening to martin daubney on gb news now. later this hour i'll talk about the migrants dinghy that was picked up by the french coastguard just two miles from france. but was dropped off in british waters, got the video of that. you will not, will not believe your eyes now. wayne couzens should never have been a police officer. and that's the

conclusion from a damning report into the failings that led to the abduction, rape and murder of sarah everard . it found that of sarah everard. it found that cousins was able to remain in the police because of a series of failures in recruitment, and also vetting processes . also vetting processes. >> tragically , the report >> tragically, the report identifies that cousins was completely unsuitable to serve as a police officer and were still that there were multiple occasions runs where this should could have been recognised , and could have been recognised, and lady alice found significant and repeated problems in recruitment and vetting throughout cousins career, including overlooking his is chaotic financial situation . situation. >> a shadow home secretary yvette cooper said james cleverly his response was too weak to little and too late . weak to little and too late. >> lady angelini says there is

nothing to stop another wayne couzens operating in plain sight . so although i agree with most of what the home secretary has said, i have to be really blunt about this. his response is too weak. it is too little and it is too late , and the lack of too late, and the lack of urgency is unfathomable to me . urgency is unfathomable to me. well i'm joined now by our homeland security editor, mark white. >> mark, welcome to the show . >> mark, welcome to the show. the report is damning. cousins clearly be a repeat predator and offender going way back until the 1990s. and the report itself concludes mog a lamentable and repeated failure to deal with these allegations and many multiple red flag moments, missed an astonishingly damning report . mark missed an astonishingly damning report. mark we missed an astonishingly damning report . mark we knew that the report. mark we knew that the police service was going to be

heavily criticised for these failings, with regard to wayne couzens employment as a police officer , but this report by by officer, but this report by by lady elish angiolini really lays bare just the depth of those failings. >> and it goes back in terms of his offending behaviour back to 1995, allegations that he had seriously sexually assaulted a child, barely a teenager. there are other victims, alleged victims . according to lady victims. according to lady angelini , that were not people angelini, that were not people that came forward at the time, but have subsequently been spoken to. and there may, she said, be other victims of wayne couzens still out there. and in terms of that offending behaviour, it continued a right through and including his police service and notably in 2015, he was involved in an incident of indecent exposure while he was indecent exposure while he was in a vehicle in dover in kent. a

couple reported out to the police. they gave the police, kent police, the vehicle's registration number or description of wayne couzens and indeed that investigation established who the driver of that vehicle was. but it was very according to lady angiolini, a half hearted investigation that was really doomed to failure for that. it wasn't really conduct properly in kent, police acknowledged that was the case, that the officer who was given that case was not an experienced investigator for then moving . on investigator for then moving. on to november of 2020. in the months before sarah everard's abduction , rape and murder, abduction, rape and murder, another incident in which we in cousins was involved in indecent exposure in a rural area of kent. more details passed to kent. more details passed to kent police wasn't really acted on and then two incidents at a mcdonald's in swanley in kent, just a few weeks before sarah

everard's murdeh again this time it was being investigated by the metropolitan police. but as far as the report is concerned, the metropolitan police are again did not prioritise this, even though it was a complaint against one of their own officers . and of their own officers. and of course, he then went to on abduct, rape and murder sarah everard. we should say as well that as well as the sort of the history of criminal city that wasn't, uh , acted upon, there is wasn't, uh, acted upon, there is this issue, this very serious issue of the vetting of those who joined the police, and he really, uh, was was not properly vetted , it seems, when he went vetted, it seems, when he went to kent police, first of all, as a volunteer police officer, a special constable in 2002, then in 22,008, he wanted to be a full time police officer. kent police failed him. then in terms of the vetting, but he was

allowed to stay on as a special constable with all the powers. martin, that you enjoy as a special constable , the same special constable, the same powers as a full time police officer . he powers as a full time police officer. he went on to join the civil nuclear constabulary. they they carried out a vetting procedure through a third force, that third force, thames valley police, found significant issues about very serious debt problems that he has. this is a red flag for the police, because if you've got debt problems, it leaves you open potentially. uh, and vulnerable to corruption . and vulnerable to corruption. um, but their recommendation to civil nuclear constabulary that he shouldn't be taken on as a full time police officer was ignored . and they did take him ignored. and they did take him on.and ignored. and they did take him on. and then finally, i think , on. and then finally, i think, in 2018, when he joined the metropolitan police in their vetting procedures , they also, vetting procedures, they also, uh , checked into the police uh, checked into the police databases . they said, i looked databases. they said, i looked at the police national computer and said it found nothing on him, but there was information given about previous incidents

on that police national computer about him disappearing, going missing, reported missing in 2013 and of course, about that incident in dover in 2015 where it's alleged that he, uh, indecently exposed himself to this couple, uh, when he was in his vehicle there. so things that were just never picked up on of great concern . an and the on of great concern. an and the police now the home secretary, the police service and the various forces involved say they have and are still tightening their procedures to make sure that they can't , uh, you know, that they can't, uh, you know, they will not have a repeat of what happened to, uh, with regards to wayne couzens >> okay. mark white, thank you for that comprehensive update on the damning report. in the case of wayne couzens. and we will also be crossing to mark rowley for the press conference on that later in the show. and also later in the show. and also later in the show. and also later in the show. i'll talk about a very emotive issue , and about a very emotive issue, and dame esther rantzen has made a

environment, taking office, you wouldn't be expecting to work in an office full of smoke, mist and dust . and dust. >> people would walking out >> people would be walking out and are thinking, and people are thinking, well, hold and people are thinking, well, holwell, shouldn't have to do >> well, i shouldn't have to do the same in a in a manufacturing environment. and people want a cleaner place to work. >> how you managing to >> and how are you managing to do this? >> well, filter mist manufacture a extract a range of products that extract oil , mist, a range of products that extract oil, mist, dust fume at oil, mist, dust and fume at source from industrial settings around world. and we make around the world. and we make them here the midlands . them right here in the midlands. >> your record >> and you've had your record year. yeah >> e have. we've continued >> yes we have. we've continued to our exports to over 60 to grow our exports to over 60 countries . but one of countries worldwide. but one of our biggest growth has our biggest growth areas has actually been uk. one of the actually been the uk. one of the reasons that we sell reasons for that is that we sell a to the machine tool a lot to the machine tool sector. are fitting our sector. who are fitting our equipment machines and equipment to their machines and selling complete turnkey selling a complete turnkey package, which includes clean air customers . air to their customers. meanwhile, the uk government's health and safety executive have focussed more on clean air in the workshop . but most of all the workshop. but most of all people are just wanting. and why wouldn't work in wouldn't you want to work in a cleaner .

>> welcome back. 347 you're watching or listening to martin daubney on gb news now. 4:00 i'll have the latest on the migrant crisis as astonishing new figures show, a record number of people were given asylum last year and work visas. but before that, jeremy hunt will deliver his spring budget next week. but the chancellor expected to make announcements on scrapping the non—dom tax status and pledging to keep the triple lock in place for millions of pensioners . now millions of pensioners. now joining me now is liam halligan gb news, economics and business editor with on the money . liam editor with on the money. liam always a pleasure and never a chore to have you on the show. liam got to say this non—dom package sounds a bit like they borrowed labour's clothing here,

doesn't it ? doesn't it? >> indeed. non—dom what does >> indeed. so non—dom what does it mean? it means non—domiciled . it mean? it means non—domiciled. well, it's a foreigner who lives in the uk but doesn't actually live here for tax purposes. it goes all the way back to the colonial era . so our colonial colonial era. so our colonial masters, if you like, here in the uk, they didn't have to get caught up in paying taxation for, for wars and so on. but it's been a kind of wheeze that wealthy foreigners have used in the uk for quite a few years . the uk for quite a few years. and the uk government has accepted because they like having wealthy foreigners here, because of money because they spend lots of money anyway , let's have an on the anyway, let's have an on the money graphic now we can have a look at some the details of look at some of the details of non—dom . foreigners in non—dom status. foreigners in the uk. they get a seven year tax holiday on their overseas income , come in 2022. there were income, come in 2022. there were around 55,000 non—doms living in the uk and studies from the university of warwick, the london school of economics. they've recently stated that

that if the government scrapped non—dom status, they may be able to raise around £35 billion a year for the treasury that would fund about a tax cut equal to about half of one pence in the pound.so about half of one pence in the pound. so a tax cut of one p in the pound usually costs you around 6 or £7 billion in revenue. so it's quite a chunky amount of money. but the reality is, martin, that if you take away non—dom status, a lot of those wealthy foreigners, they're going elsewhere , they're going to live elsewhere, they'll live dubai, they'll they'll live in dubai, they'll live , they'll live , live in monaco, they'll live, uh, in some other proper tax haven rather than a partial tax haven, which is the uk. they won't spend money here. they won't spend money here. they won't necessarily send their kids to our flashy schools. if you like and frequent our art galleries and indeed invest as much in our country. back in the day , back in the 90s, when day, back in the 90s, when norman lamont was chancellor, the treasury wanted to abolish non—dom status , and he told them non—dom status, and he told them absolutely not. labour is now

saying that it will water down non—dom status. and so the tories are leaking ahead of the publication of their manifesto ahead of a general election, that they may also want to abolish. non—dom status. a very un tory thing, you might think, but they're keen to steal a march and eat into labour's support. it's an election strategy , kind of, and another strategy, kind of, and another very tory policy is protecting the pension. >> it seems as good news on the triple lock. liam >> well it is good news on the triple lock. if you are in receipt of the basic state pension, if you are a youngster paying pension, if you are a youngster paying taxes , paying a huge paying taxes, paying a huge amounts of money for rent, unable to buy a house, you may have a different point of view. let's have another on the money graphic . it let's have another on the money graphic. it wouldn't be the same, would martin? without same, would it, martin? without the triple lock. is it? the triple lock. what is it? it's a invention. it says it's a tory invention. it says that the state pension goes up each year by the highest of wage growth. inflation or 2.5,

whichever is , is higher. and whichever is, is higher. and that means that the state pension is set to increase by 8.5% in april. pension is set to increase by 8.5% in april . to 2220 . 1000 to 8.5% in april. to 2220. 1000 to £221.20 a week. that's the equivalent of about 11.5 grand. labour has also signalled that it will keep the triple lock in place and this is very difficult for a lot of younger voters. of course, many gb news viewers will be older voters , some of will be older voters, some of them will be in receipt of the bafic them will be in receipt of the basic state pension. you see, there. the basic state pension will increase by 8.5% in april. and labour has also signalled that it will keep the triple lock. look, why are the tories saying now? why is rishi sunak signalling that he will retain the triple lock? why are labour also saying that they will retain the triple lock, even though it's hugely expensive and even though it will irk quite a lot of younger voters who are

looking for support to buy houses , who are looking for houses, who are looking for lower taxation , who are not, lower taxation, who are not, that they have to pay off their student loans, feel rightly, student loans, who feel rightly, in my view, that they haven't got such a good deal as my got such a good a deal as my generation indeed our generation or indeed our parents. general martin well, the reason the two main parties out of the gate early, long before their manifestos will be published, long before the general election, which we expect in october and november, is this as older people is simply this as older people vote in bigger numbers than younger people , younger people younger people, younger people move around. they're often not registered to vote where they live, etcetera , etc, etc. so live, etcetera, etc, etc. so this is why the big parties will pretty much always do what the 11 or 12 million uk pensioners want. they are a mighty electoral force. they're called the grey vote , and the only way the grey vote, and the only way that younger people can really try and counter that is by getting out and voting too. >> okay, liam halligan superb stuff as ever with on the money thank you very much. now another

story that's caught my eye today that i simply could not believe. and it's this posted on and it's this video posted on social which shows social media which shows a french coast guard picking up a dinghy just two miles from france. can see it's france. you can see it's coasting there between boulogne and calais. intercepts a craft two miles off the french coast . two miles off the french coast. after a quick conversation, it starts chugging just after midnight last night towards british waters . you see british british waters. you see british waters represented there by that purple line as you can see, the french craft cruiser towards british waters with those illegals in dinghies on board. they cross into british waters round about 4 am. this morning. they quickly drop off the illegals onto presumably a border force craft or or an ally. and then they meander back to france to repeat all over again that that, ladies and gentlemen, is how it works over and over now, quickly joined by kevin saunders, who's the former chief immigration officer at uk border force . kevin, this will border force. kevin, this will be no news to you, but it's

basically confirmation taxi services in plain sight . services in plain sight. >> yeah. hello, martin. you're you're spot on as usual. >> yeah. hello, martin. you're you're spot on as usual . all you're spot on as usual. all this. exactly. is that . it's this. exactly. is that. it's a taxi service , but from the taxi service, but from the french point of view, um, they don't regard the law of the sea. which is what this is all about. in the same way as we do the french view is that they will only get involved and rescue these people if they ask for help. they say they are not allowed just to go and get them, pick them up and take them back to france. um, now we don't we don't necessarily agree with that, but that is the french interpretation. so they are basically shadowing the vessel to make sure that it's all right . okay. >> we simply i'm afraid kevin, we have to leave it there. we got to you too late after the previous item. sorry, mate. we'll this another we'll have to do this another time. anyway, i'm martin daubney

all about the number of foreign workers in the health and care sector. well, they got more than 146,000 visas, which was an increase massively of 91. and the number of dependents coming to the uk also went through the roof. there were more than 279,000 dependent visas , which 279,000 dependent visas, which was up by an eyewall , towering was up by an eyewall, towering 80% on the previous year. now of course, the former home secretary suella braverman, has been a very vocal critic of the government's migration policy, and she's responded to today's figures by saying this the prime minister must adopt policies i push for that would have prevented this national disaster . we need a cap on overall numbers as britain will be unrecognised if this carries on. it's not what the british people , including me, voted for , and , including me, voted for, and i'm sure many people out there will echo that sentiment . well,

will echo that sentiment. well, to go through those figures, i'm now joined by immigration lawyer and friend of the show, hardeep singh bango. welcome to the show. we voted to take back control time and time again. yet these figures feel like we've totally lost control. in fact, it almost feels like we've surrendered our borders . well, surrendered our borders. well, compared to the target set by cameron's government, theresa may's government. um, the figures show that targets are not being met and in fact, the biggest startling surprise is in the care and health sector, um, industry, where applications are including dependants are actually up about 349. so that's an astonishing increase . an astonishing increase. however, these people are feeling the jobs, um, in the health and care sector which are needed. but it's the dependence , needed. but it's the dependence, um, which also most well, it's actually more than the actual main applicants coming in now

that's being changed on march the 11th. so under the care sector visa, you will not be able to bring your dependent over and other stuff we've seen is that, um, towards the end of the year, the actual asylum refusal or the grant rate went down from 80% to about 60. so so and a lot of that was due to albanians, um, being discouraged to come here and albanians being removed. however there does seem to be a little bit of massaging of the figures where, um, they're claiming that the backlog has gone down by 25,000. and in fact, these claims are withdrawn. now, you might remember that there was a weird quote by james cleverly by saying, well , hold on, this quote by james cleverly by saying, well, hold on, this is a part of a backlog and these applications are part of a queue . and everyone going, well, . and everyone was going, well, isn't thing ? a isn't that the same thing? a backlog queue. now what's backlog is a queue. now what's happened applications happened is these applications have withdrawn due to have been withdrawn due to maybe, perhaps the home office not in contact people not being in contact or people not being in contact or people not to be found. and not being able to be found. and a lot of them, the figures show, have system . and have re—entered the system. and so this new queue

so they've joined this new queue as instead of the backlog as it was instead of the backlog . and conservative . and now the conservative government victory, government will claim victory, as we've got the as in, well, we've got the backlog down. well, no backlog down. well, that's no good. queue is getting good. if the queue is getting bigger. uh , if these figures bigger. so, uh, if these figures are sort of astonishing, they don't really meet the targets that the conservatives have set. and uh, they don't really meet the targets that previous prime ministers and the home secretaries have set. >> then there's the >> yeah. and then there's the nofion >> yeah. and then there's the notion of these visas being abused anyway , we've seen this abused anyway, we've seen this week, david neal, who was sacked as the chief inspector of borders and immigration. >> he said sacked simply for doing his job. he blew the whistle what was happening in whistle on what was happening in the care sector. he reckons 25% of all visas were being abused by work was either coming for a very short period of time into the care sector or not at all. there was an incident of thousands of visas being issued for non—existent health care homes and jobs, and as a consequence, they're also bringing dependants in. and so can we even trust the numbers themselves? can we even trust

where people are going? it just seems like the entire system has been taken over by lunatics . been taken over by lunatics. >> yeah, there is abuse of the health and care sector visa . health and care sector visa. >> we've seen that herself as well , where, uh, people have set well, where, uh, people have set up care agencies and workers have come over and found out that the care agencies are non—existent or the care homes have just told them, go away. we've done our job, we've brought over. huge brought you over. and huge extortion charged extortion fees have been charged from people come over from these people to come over up upwards of £20,000 to up from upwards of £20,000 to bnng up from upwards of £20,000 to bring their families here. and after paying £20,000, these families don't want to go back. so they're to be so they're going to be assimilated into the system or they're go underground they're going to go underground or radar. so there is or off the radar. so there is big and the home big abuse in that. and the home office criticised office have been criticised rightly and have been. the whistle has been blown. now the home out of james home office is out of james cleverly's to deal with it cleverly's way to deal with it was the whistleblower. was to sack the whistleblower. it wasn't like, okay, we're going take we're going to take control. we're going to take control. we're going to take on board what this person you know, we person said. and, you know, we need down if that's need to clamp down if that's your approach as a home

secretary, you're not going to grab a hold of this situation. >> you do not sack the people that are looking out for you and are telling look, there's are telling you, look, there's flaws the system. flaws and holes in the system. >> listen to them. >> you actually listen to them. you need more of people you need more of them. people around less. so what's around you, not less. so what's happened know, he happened is, you know, he sacked, that abuse is still sacked, that the abuse is still there . it's still being done. there. it's still being done. there sponsors there were more sponsors licenses issued last year than the year, which might the previous year, which might be a warning sign if they were issued the health care issued in the health and care sector. these visas, which sector. and these visas, which people have come over with families, hopefully the families, um, hopefully the government think that they might decline due to the families and not being allowed to come over now and people will just come over their own . however, once over on their own. however, once these people get indefinite leave remain after five leave to remain after five years, at years, then they'll be at liberty bring families liberty to bring their families over might just over anyway, so they might just be delaying calling their families after five years. families over after five years. but the abuse is definitely there. the whistle is definitely blown . we to to blown. we need to listen to people like, um, david neill rather put them out of rather than, um, put them out of a and add to their a job and add to their government's unemployment figures. well that would be the

common sense approach. yesterday holac, we had tim lawton in the studio and he was saying there are 15 reports that he knows about. he, of course, is on the home affairs select committee. he cross—examined david neill, 15 reports at the home office simply didn't want to go out there. the huge question is, what was in those reports? why are they trying to bury this information ? what they what information? what they what don't they want us to know? and the bigger question is who's actually control? suella actually in control? suella braverman anne spoke out. she's gone. robert jenrick spoke out. he's . david neil spoke out. he's gone. david neil spoke out. he's gone. david neil spoke out. he's gone. david neil spoke out. he's gone. yeah. the home office, the unelected bureaucrats who we don't even know who they they remain know who they are. they remain in office. who's actually in control . control. >> well, ultimately it's the prime minister and the home secretary. >> um, it's up to them to release these reports . now, we release these reports. now, we can assume if the government don't these reports don't want these reports released, probably released, that they're probably critical government and critical of the government and the government is the way the government is handung the way the government is handling the whole immigration, um, at the moment. we um, system at the moment. we know is broken. the know the system is broken. the home affairs select committee

itself tells that know itself tells us that we know that successive home secretaries have promised the earth and have delivered nothing on stouffer's. the scheme in fact, the the rwanda scheme in fact, the amount of people from rwanda given went up . given asylum actually went up. that's in its 20s now. i think 21 people were given asylum from rwanda, and this government is claiming it's safe. um, we've seen italy do a deal with its nearest country. um, as for a processing centre, albania and it's done deals. um you know, with that, in order to set up processing centres, this country refused to have a processing centre in france , despite france centre in france, despite france saying, here's a land set it up, we'll help you set the processing centre up. government goes, no, we're going to send them, to them, try and send them to rwanda instead . thousands of rwanda instead. thousands of miles where got no miles away, where we've got no control people. control over these people. a small boat crossings were down, but we don't know whether that's due to the that it's a lot due to the fact that it's a lot of albanians were deterred and it was mainly albanians, um, that went down in the figures . that went down in the figures. um, if you take albanians out of the equation in relation to asylum claims, then asylum claims were only went down by

about 3. so that wasn't a great sort of shift really . and um, sort of shift really. and um, it's really important to note or to analyse this is the government system working? why is the government trying to have a cover up? why is it getting rid of people who only want to speak the truth and probably help the government? the government, has government, in fact, has employed them to well, hold employed them to say, well, hold on, inspect our borders, us on, inspect our borders, tell us where you're going wrong. and before the person can do it off, you go, son. here's your p45 or we don't want you saying that stuff. we only want you praising us. it's crazy. the moment. us. it's crazy. at the moment. we all know immigration is a top , um, sort of issue for the public. it's definitely in the top polling public are top three polling public are worried about. and this government record over government and their record over the past 14 years is just not good removals have only good enough. removals have only gone up. um still less gone slightly up. um still less than pre—pandemic levels . so and than pre—pandemic levels. so and compared to 20 1011 record, it's just not good enough. yeah. you know what, harjit singh bongo, you know, you always speak common sense and sometimes you

can only conclude the can only conclude that the lunatics have taken over lunatics really have taken over the asylum system . and the only the asylum system. and the only bit common sense in bit of common sense action in this that they, this report today is that they, the government, conceded the government, finally conceded that small that actually small boat crossings might be down because of the weather, which we told them . but look, thanks them all along. but look, thanks for joining the show. i forjoining us on the show. i guess always a pleasure. guess it's always a pleasure. now i'll have more on now i'll have lots more on today's immigration figures throughout the show. and at 5:00. that's why are so many 5:00. and that's why are so many visas being given to workers in the health and care sector. when i've just outlined those abuses? and also plenty of and there's also plenty of coverage on our website , coverage on our website, gbnews.com. and you've helped to make it the fastest growing national news website in the country. so thank you very much . country. so thank you very much. now to the latest on the fears over mps safety. and rishi sunak has warned that the uk is descending into mob rule. he was speaking after the government announced a £31 million security package to help protect mps from threats . but one man, who's not threats. but one man, who's not impressed with the new scheme is justice minister mike freer, who's not standing. of course,

at the next general election because of threats to his safety, he says the extra funding misses the point because it's not actually going to get to the root cause of the problem. that's something that we've been saying on this show all along. to go over that now, i'm joined by our political edhoh i'm joined by our political editor, chris hope. chris rishi has finally said we're mob rule is upon us. why chris, did it take the mob storming parliament or being outside parliament for them to finally wake up ? mob them to finally wake up? mob rule has existed in batley , rule has existed in batley, where the grammar teacher school has been hiding. mob where the grammar teacher school has been hiding . mob rule where the grammar teacher school has been hiding. mob rule is where the grammar teacher school hamany1 hiding. mob rule is where the grammar teacher school ha many parts ding . mob rule is where the grammar teacher school ha many parts of|g . mob rule is where the grammar teacher school ha many parts of britain) rule is where the grammar teacher school ha many parts of britain ande is in many parts of britain and when you talk about it, you get called an islamophobe. now finally seems they're waking up because . because. >> because they have to. because the last wednesday night we saw how the protests outside parliament, the feeling of pressure on the labour party about safety and concern for labour forced to speaker as labour mps forced to speaker as he admitted , um, to change the he admitted, um, to change the way, change the rules in parliament, give the labour

party an opt out, a way to fail on own on the gaza on their own policy on the gaza conflict and that caused conflict and that has caused huge havoc. upset among the tory backbenches. huge havoc. upset among the tory backbenches . he's got 90, 93, backbenches. he's got 90, 93, i think mps now have a vote of no confidence or want to vote. no confidence or want to vote. no confidence in the speaker was put. the pm has done here. he's used which you were used language which you were using last week. martin, on your show, is a growing show, he says there is a growing consensus that mob is consensus that mob rule is replacing rule. £31 replacing democratic rule. £31 million. new protocol . million. there's a new protocol. l agreed last night with police chiefs and the pm defending democracy policing protocol. and this means that in future, the police will be have to be notified of an upcoming event 48 hours advance. and that will hours in advance. and that will allow the to talk to the allow the police to talk to the mp candidate election, mp or candidate at the election, find risks they've got find out any risks they've got protests homes of elected protests at the homes of elected representatives, mps and councillors will be seen as intimidatory under section 42 of the criminal justice and police act. other measures to this is a this obvious £31 million this is obvious £31 million private security for those who need it. um, a hotline for anyone who feels intimidated. mike freers point now appears to

be. well, that's all that's that's the on outside. but that's the on the outside. but why go back to the root of why not go back to the root of it? not the laws you it? why not apply the laws you already ? and earlier, already have? and earlier, our colleague piero spoke colleague gloria de piero spoke to walney , a former labour to lord walney, a former labour mp who's been doing some work about policing and making our democracy safe. here's what he had to say to her. >> are not making this >> people are not making this up. can see the level often up. you can see the level often of , um, up. you can see the level often of, um, intimidation that is intended on on this. i mean, i've been i've gone into a defence event recently where i had you everyone who ran the gauntlet was being shouted at, screamed at horrific things, said to them, microphone , said to them, microphone, megaphone in their face. and thatis megaphone in their face. and that is not about changing people's minds. look, the right to protest, the right to debate, the right to get your point across member of across to your member of parliament is foundation of across to your member of parldemocracy foundation of across to your member of parldemocracy .foundation of across to your member of parldemocracy . but dation of across to your member of parldemocracy . but what] of across to your member of parldemocracy . but what isf our democracy. but what is happening often at the moment is not that it's about about an implied threat of menace and a big physical protest is only one

way of many ways in which you can get your point across . can get your point across. actually, i think we need to reset the balance and remind people that if they want to change people's minds, we've we've got an electorate, a process of elections to do that. and you can put yourself forward and you can win a majority. and if you can't get a majority of people to agree with you, it's not really an acceptable subject to think that you can menace people who are there for into doing what you want. and that's what we saw in the house of commons last week, and that's why a lot of people are thinking, hang on a minute, this isn't right . we need to reset isn't right. we need to reset the balance here. that's right. >> and that lord walney is saying is a balance. and of course, amnesty and other groups are saying, on, it's are saying, well, hang on, it's all you don't want all very well. you don't want the concern about the the mob. the concern about the mob deal with the actual mob to deal with the actual legitimate protest. that's legitimate protest. and that's the police have the balance the police will have to in coming weeks. to find in coming weeks. >> they've bill. >> well, they've got the bill. have will? it seems have they got the will? it seems to standing the to me they're standing off the mob soaping chris mob and soft soaping them. chris hope, much .

hope, thank you very much. always a report always a pleasure. now a report has revealed that wayne cousins's history of alleged sexual offending went back nearly 20 years before he killed sarah everard. i'm martin daubney on gb news britain's news channel .

to do. i think what lady elish has done really powerfully is lay this is what the gold lay out this is what the gold standard looks like. this is what you've got to aim at. and we will collectively on we will collectively work on what it will take for policing to get there as quickly as is practically . practically possible. >> well, i'm joined now by peter kirkham, who's a former senior investigating officer with the metropolitan police. always a pleasure you on the metropolitan police. always a pleaslpeteh you on the metropolitan police. always a pleaslpeteh just you on the metropolitan police. always a pleaslpeteh just felt on the metropolitan police. always a pleaslpeteh just felt like :he show, peter. just felt like a copy and paste response there from mark roe, didn't it? it was almost like another lesson need to be learned. we've made mistakes , but this is a serious mistakes, but this is a serious sin . this matter. the report , sin. this matter. the report, peter concluded that this was a very serious sexual assault of a child, barely in her teens. it also came out about an alleged attempt to kidnap at knifepoint in 1995. the report concludes it was a lamentable and repeated failure to deal with these allegations for many years that culminated in sarah everard's tragic murdeh we can't just say

lessons must be learned, surely this this is far, far more serious than that . the report serious than that. the report paints an incredibly concerning picture of the whole system, from top to bottom . from top to bottom. >> um, we need to be careful about , um, >> um, we need to be careful about, um, recognising that the majority of the incident that's talked about in the report weren't reported to the police at the time, and certainly weren't connected , uh, to him at weren't connected, uh, to him at the time . uh, they are things the time. uh, they are things that have come out subsequent quite a few of the, uh , quite a few of the, uh, complainants, victims in these cases saw his pictures following his arrest for the murder. and came forward at that point. so we haven't got a situation where all of these things were known . all of these things were known. there were things known. uh nowhere near so many , uh, but nowhere near so many, uh, but sufficient to, uh, um, prevent him from being a police officer. had the system worked correctly . had the system worked correctly. there's two reasons why the system , in my view, there are

system, in my view, there are two reasons why the system, um, uh, didn't work correctly . uh, uh, didn't work correctly. uh, and number one, uh , it's and number one, uh, it's a disjointed system. we've got a situation here involving three different police services. the metropolitan police service, the kent constabulary and the civil nuclear constabulary . uh, and nuclear constabulary. uh, and the passage of information between them is not good. um, they're no different from any other combination of forces . the other combination of forces. the passage of information, immediate puts, uh, a difficult in the way of anything. uh and so shared databases and shared information is better. and also the fragmented nature of the vetting process, 43 different geographical forces and several others. uh on top of that, uh, they don't share a single vetting process. they're a national guide lines. and the idea is that they all do the same thing, the same way. but there's a latitude allowed to each of them to do their own version of it. and so that

creates a problem . uh, the creates a problem. uh, the second issue is simply one of resources. and at the time of the cuts to the police service , the cuts to the police service, which began in 2012, 2013, uh , which began in 2012, 2013, uh, started to bite. in 2012, 2013, um , the likes of me warned this um, the likes of me warned this will have a serious impact on all manner of things, not just frontline policing , but the back frontline policing, but the back office functions and the main function that is found to be lacking here is the vetting process . um, if less time is process. um, if less time is available to do each vetting of each individual candidate or whatever , or transferee , uh, whatever, or transferee, uh, then less work can be done and it will be done less thoroughly. it's as simple as that. and so we've got two factors here. resource saving and the fragmentation of the police service in the uk. both of which really need to be addressed. this cannot be allowed to continue . continue. >> okay. peter kirkham, former senior investigating officer with met, we have leave

with the met, we have to leave it input. it there. thanks for your input. as ever. now there's lots more still to come between now and 5:00. i've got good news for 5:00. and i've got good news for pensioners with tories set pensioners. with the tories set to to keep that triple to promise to keep that triple lock their election lock in their election manifesto. hurrah! but first time for your latest news headunes time for your latest news headlines with polly middlehurst i >> -- >> the top stories this hour. the home secretary has told mps police officers will be automatically suspended if they're charged with certain criminal offences. the comments came after the sarah everard inquiry found wayne couzens should never have been a police officer . officer. >> he killed the 33 year old in south london in 2021. her family says she died because she would never have got into a stranger's car and if he hadn't been a police officer . police officer. >> the inquiry chair warned that without radical overhaul of policing practices , there's policing practices, there's nothing to stop. another cousins operating in plain sight . operating in plain sight.

for one part of the uk, it is a relative new experience . relative new experience. northern ireland is only now beginning to see migrant communities and they are mainly making working class areas their home and that is causing tensions within the wider community. gb news northern ireland reporter dougie beattie has this report . has this report. >> at the end of april 2023, ireland's immigration was up by 31% and over a decade northern ireland's has doubled , with ireland's has doubled, with south belfast being the most diverse . tracy kelly is a dup diverse. tracy kelly is a dup belfast city councillor who deals with the issues in this area on a daily basis. >> over the last few years it's changed dramatically. um, i've grown up in this community and i've seen a massive change, um, especially regards to our especially with regards to our schools and our houses and, and doctors appointments, etc. the um communities are really struggling with these issues, and i'd say over the last 3 to 4 years, especially since covid, it's got dramatically worse for

many in these housing estates depend on family support , with depend on family support, with up to four generations living within streets of one another wearing this for social housing in south belfast is now over 2500. >> some immigrants that have already been housed in contracted units is over 1000. we have working class communities like sandy row, like the donegall pass , who are the donegall pass, who are blending in with others who are coming to here work and live and mix, but there is also an issue when there's too many people who can't get housed. >> that seems to be the main issue that i deal with when people in their own community who have been born and reared here, have to move away because there's of housing that there's a lack of housing that causes a wee bit of resentment and unfortunate that sometimes that going to that resentment is going to people who have migrated here. >> given northern ireland's troubled , the conversation troubled past, the conversation around immigration was never on the agenda . but when you're the agenda. but when you're deaung the agenda. but when you're dealing with communities that are still struggling with their own history, identity and

culture, and even global alliances , is it wise to alliances, is it wise to introduce those that are seeking a new way of life with their own culture and traditions, to working class and post—conflict areas? the shakira makoni represents the african community of northern ireland. >> i would presume mostly 99% of asylum seekers or migrants , um, asylum seekers or migrants, um, and refugees coming to this part of the world would have very little knowledge about the internal, uh , dynamics in internal, uh, dynamics in northern ireland. so you find out it's almost like you're thrown in the deep water to have the cognisance to say here, i need to pick up that. i'm living on a peace line and, um, these guys don't like those guys . and guys don't like those guys. and maybe these guys can tolerate me and those ones won't. you don't have any idea of that. it'll take you up to ten years to get

a real sense of that. because remember , you're focussed on remember, you're focussed on trying to rebuild your life to avoid further tensions. >> should government be looking at the placement of those refugees and migrants ? dougie refugees and migrants? dougie beattie gb news, south belfast . beattie gb news, south belfast. >> one excellent report that was by dougie beattie. of course, there are special sensitivities in northern ireland. none of this ever gets taken into account, does it? now the state pension will rise by 8.5% in april, and now it looks like the tories are going to say in their manifesto that they will keep that triple lock safe. great news for pensioners . i'm martin news for pensioners. i'm martin daubney on gb news, britain's news channel .

growth , inflation or 2.5% there. growth, inflation or 2.5% there. it is, martin, as you're on the money graphic, it wouldn't be the same without one. and radio listeners can just dream at the moment that they were watching the television so they could see this graphic well our this graphic as well as our wonderful faces. of course, rishi sunak, the prime minister, he says the tories are going to retain the triple lock. he's trying grey voters, he's trying to woo grey voters, he's trying to woo grey voters, he's trying to woo the 11 million to 12 million british pensioners that receive leave. the basic state pension now the state pension will go up by 8.5% in april . to £221 a week. that's april. to £221 a week. that's about 11.5 grand a year, 8.5. that's a pretty hefty increase because that's how high earnings went up during the year to last september , and earnings growth september, and earnings growth was higher than inflation then and higher than 2.5. but labour also have signalled that they will keep the triple lock. so here we are, martin. we're still quite a way from an election , quite a way from an election, but an election is definitely in

the offing. i'm not talking about tonight's by—election in rochdale. of course i'm talking about a general election . we about a general election. we think that's going to be in october or maybe november. and even now . now, way before that , even now. now, way before that, the tories are saying we're going to keep the triple lock. labour saying we're going to labour are saying we're going to keep those keep the triple lock. those older voters, those pensioner voters are hugely important. but what's it going to mean for young people? young people who are paying back their student young people? young people who are pethat back their student young people? young people who are pethat today'sieir student young people? young people who are pethat today's pensioners loans that today's pensioners didn't have to take on if they went to university? today's youngsters who are struggling to get the housing ladder in get on the housing ladder in a way that today's pensioners didn't when they got on didn't struggle when they got on the housing ladder , and even the the housing ladder, and even the likes you me, martin, likes of you and me, martin, we're are we? we're barely pensioners, are we? is to we is a long way to go. but we had an easier time buying our first properties, didn't we? then lots of our young gb news college here in the newsroom and youngsters up and down the country. so this seems to be fuelling a kind of intergenerational tension that there clearly is across society

at the moment. there is pensioner poverty of course, the bafic pensioner poverty of course, the basic state pension is very important. i'm not saying it isn't. it is actually quite low by international standards, but everyone gets it. it's called a universal benefit , which everyone gets it. it's called a universal benefit, which means many people are getting the bafic many people are getting the basic state pension, frankly, and using it for their wine fund or their ski holiday fund or whatever it is. that's not to be flippant . whatever it is. that's not to be flippant. it's to whatever it is. that's not to be flippant . it's to say that there flippant. it's to say that there is an issue when everybody is getting a particular payment by the state, regardless of means. but don't worry about that. the tories think it's more important. labour think it's more important to signal to older voters that the basic state pension, which of course they have paid into their whole working lives . you only get it working lives. you only get it if you've got a certain number of years of national insurance contributions and so on, or you only get the full amount they feel they're entitled to that and they feel it should go up by and they feel it should go up by a lot each year. look, inflation was up in double digits as recently as 2022. some people

will say an 8.5% increase in the bafic will say an 8.5% increase in the basic state pension is not all that, because it's less than inflation has been , but it's inflation has been, but it's still very expensive for the exchequer. and i put it to you, many youngsters will feel while they don't want pensioner poverty in the uk , that this is poverty in the uk, that this is a very generous additional payment to elderly voters, many of whom have had a far better crack of the whip financially than they have . i'm not saying than they have. i'm not saying that all youngsters feel like that, but i know that lots do. and there you have it. so ipso of liam halligan always excellent. >> always on the money. a wine retirement fund, the stuff of dreams. now it feels like i spent most of this past week talking about that man, lee anderson. so be rude not to have a story about him today , a story about him today, wouldn't it? well, the metropolitan police are saying they are assessing a report of hate speech made against anderson after he accused the mayor of london of being cold controlled by islamists. and of course , that was on this very course, that was on this very show on friday at 5:00, scotland

yard said of reports was received a day after the former tory deputy chairman made those remarks. and to go over them now i'm joined by harry miller, who was accused of sending transphobic tweets . it was transphobic tweets. it was recorded the complaint as a non—crime hate incident, but he eventually won a historic court case that the guidance to police officers breached his freedom of expression rights . so this fella expression rights. so this fella knows what he's talking about. harry always a pleasure. my old son lee said. these comments on a national news broadcaster . he a national news broadcaster. he is an elected mp . he is allowed is an elected mp. he is allowed freedom of speech . how on earth freedom of speech. how on earth can his comments be recorded as a hate crime ? they cannot and a hate crime? they cannot and they must not. this is the reason that i went to the high court and the court of appeal in order to clarify for the police in particular, cannot in particular, that they cannot stop criminalising or de facto criminalising or investigating or harassing people because they express a political point of view. the problem that we have,

martin, is that the police have got a political bent, a very clear political bent and it is in their interests to seek out hate. and they so they find it evenin hate. and they so they find it even in a slice of toast, particularly if it's right wing toast the police do not like right wingers. the police equate the right wing with hate. yes they. i had the misfortune of being on a hate crime champions training day , where i was training day, where i was subjected to propaganda from hope, not hate . if you remember, hope, not hate. if you remember, martin, both you and i appear in the last hope, not hate report as being far right lunatics. this is the kind of nonsense that the police are sucking up to this is the kind of nonsense that the police are repeating. and what's worse is that they're now training a whole bunch of citizen stasi to go out and hunt down people like you and i and reporters for our so—called far right views . so the police right views. so the police should have filed that report against lee anderson straight away and filed it in the bin.

the police have no business whatsoever investigating a mp or a member of the public for expressing a perfectly legitimate point of view. now, harry, a lot of people will be concerned because of course , the concerned because of course, the comments were about islam . as he comments were about islam. as he put it. if we are looking at special protection of islam, islamophobia being enshrined, perhaps in law and a future government could these hate crime laws actually harry be a back door to a de facto blasphemy law ? yeah, that's blasphemy law? yeah, that's precisely what's going on. the problem is that we've we've had the equality act, which by and large is not perfect, but it's not too bad. and the equality act gives you protection for your religious belief. act gives you protection for your religious belief . what it your religious belief. what it does not do is protect the religion. so the muslims are protected. islam is not. and we must be free. we must be free to rip islam a new a hole if we so wish. because no religion, no

religion at all, should be given any form of special protection. none at all. i'm a christian. i don't mind at all if you say nasty things about jesus or you know , you show a cartoon of know, you show a cartoon of jesus , or you say that that jesus, or you say that that america is controlled by right wing christians, i mean that accusation is put around all the time. so i don't see what's different here. you know , when, different here. you know, when, um, when lee anderson said that , um, when lee anderson said that, uh, the capital has been captured by islamists. well, it may be true. it may not be true. it's irrelevant. it's a point of view , and it is a legitimate view, and it is a legitimate point of view. okay. harry miller , strong words as ever. we miller, strong words as ever. we have to leave it there. thank you very harry miller from you very much. harry miller from founder of cop. thanks for founder of fair cop. thanks for joining us on the show. founder of fair cop. thanks for joining us on the show . and, um, joining us on the show. and, um, yeah, um, free speech, but apologies if you're offended by what said. isn't it what you said. there isn't it funny? look, we've got loads. come up in the next hour, including we're looking at those record numbers of asylum and work visas, a huge, huge

62,336 people were given refugee status or other protection following an asylum application last year, and that's an astonishing increase . of 242. astonishing increase. of 242. and let's go through some of the other alarming figures that came out this morning . a total of 1.4 out this morning. a total of 1.4 million visas were issued last yeah million visas were issued last year, and that's an increase of 20. and that's just the visas to work or study or remain in the country. the 3.4 million actually in total for all reasons. and there were more than 337,000 thousand overseas worker visas. and that's up by 26% on the previous 12 months. now, we all know about the number of foreign workers in the health and care sector, don't we? well, they got more than 146,000 visas, which was an astonishing increase of . 91%

astonishing increase of. 91% percent. and the number of dependents coming into the uk has also gone through the roof. there were more than 279,000 dependence visas, which is up by a staggering 80% on the previous yeah a staggering 80% on the previous year. now, of course, the former home secretary, suella braverman , has been a very vocal critic of the government's migration policy . and, of course, the policy. and, of course, the former . and she's issued a very formeh and she's issued a very strong word today. and she said this the prime minister must adopt policies. i push for that would have prevented this national disaster. we need a cap on overall numbers . britain will on overall numbers. britain will be unrecognisable if this carries on. it's not what the british people in, including me, voted for. i think many at home will concur with that sentiment . will concur with that sentiment. now i want to focus on the huge rise in visas given to health and care workers in this part of the show , and now i can speak the show, and now i can speak with nhs doctor bashir

mukherjee. bashir, welcome to the show. a huge number of visas granted to health and care workers, 146,477. that's more than 50% of all visas going out, and an astonishing number of dependents on top of that as well . why do we need so many well. why do we need so many foreign workers? and why can't we simply pay british workers more ? that's the question i'm more? that's the question i'm asking as well . asking as well. >> you know, the reason we're having to rely on foreign workers is because we have got huge number of vacancies in hospitals. >> there are 40,000 nursing vacancies still pending, and you've only got to step into a hospital to see how understaffed they are, how everybody's just rushing, tending to so many patients. you know, we do need these staff, but it would be amazing to have more of our british public included in the workforce . but sadly, 2.8

workforce. but sadly, 2.8 million people in the in the british public are on long time sickness and 22.6 million people are on benefits . how do we are on benefits. how do we change that narrative ? i would change that narrative? i would like the government to focus on that. like the government to focus on that . on that? yeah that. on that? yeah >> do you know what i absolutely , totally and utterly agree. it just seems completely, almost suicidal tidal that we are reliant on cheap imported foreign labour, sometimes at 20% below the market rate. and yet we are encouraging so many people to sit on benefits . and people to sit on benefits. and then of course, bashir, there's then of course, bashir, there's the topic of the visas being abused. david neil, who was sacked as the chief inspector of borders and immigration , cried borders and immigration, cried wolf last week . he said in his wolf last week. he said in his evidence . 25% of all of those evidence. 25% of all of those visas issued in care homes were being abused. and that's because either people weren't going to work in that sector at all or they were working there for a very short period of time. and

then they were simply going wokeist. and that included . 1234 wokeist. and that included. 1234 visas to a company that only had four staff and 275 visas to a care home that did not exist . care home that did not exist. but, bashir, i put it to you wherever you look, the lunatic have taken over the asylum system . system. >> you know, i have to disagree with that. >> i come from an immigrant myself , and >> i come from an immigrant myself, and i've seen >> i come from an immigrant myself , and i've seen lots of myself, and i've seen lots of immigrant families. i think the work ethic in immigrant families is much higher than our british public. i worry for our young youth who are looking to for ways not to work , and we have to ways not to work, and we have to incentivise the public and the young people to go into these educational fields and these service industry . so, you know, service industry. so, you know, we need to look at that. we need our focus needs to be on how to fix home, rather than worry about what we're bringing in. essentially >> well, i think we should do both . i mean, i think if we both. i mean, i think if we control the numbers and look at

the look at the figures out today, labour party today, bashir, the labour party are claiming £113 million a day is being spent on asylum hotels, not the 7 million we were previously told. that's just doubled nowhere. £4.3 doubled out of nowhere. £4.3 billion on the asylum system in the last year alone . that's the last year alone. that's money we should be giving to nurses. that's money we should be giving to care home workers. that's money we should be giving to get these people off the dole and back system . and back into the system. >> think that you're very >> i think that you're very correct there, because ultimately we've got to think about it. if if there are discrepancies within the system, if we cannot control what these people , um, are here for, are people, um, are here for, are they for here legitimate reasons? are they truly needing of asylum? if we don't have a system that can essentially filter this out properly, maybe we're not in the position to give asylum. we have to think about that as well. mhm. >> and bashirjust on the on the >> and bashir just on the on the principle of until very recently it was a 20% markdown that was legally , legally allowed to be

legally, legally allowed to be paid to foreign workers, 20% below the market rate, which of course suppresses wages for british workers. it suppresses wages for british nurses and care home workers . that's not care home workers. that's not good for the nhs , that's not good for the nhs, that's not good for the nhs, that's not good for the nhs, that's not good for morale. that's not good for britain , that's not good at for britain, that's not good at all at a junior doctor. >> i can definitely agree with this. our fight has been to try to up the wages so that we can keep people in the job and if in that case, some money is going to do it for less and we also have to think about what is that at the cost of, is that at the cost of the quality care they can deliver? does that mean that we're time than to we're spending more time than to train up individuals to be train up these individuals to be able fit into this system, to able to fit into this system, to follow this system, follow the rules in this system, to everything ? so, you to learn everything? so, you know, we're kind of wasting time and money on doing this. essentially, it would be much better if we got people trained in this country , in this system in this country, in this system and into into our health care service directly .

service directly. >> god, do you know what nhs doctor bashir mukherjee? i wish i could reach through that screen now and shake your hand vigorously. agree vigorously. i agree with everything you're saying. we need more people like you . need more people like you. please, come the show please, please come on the show again fantastic thanks again. fantastic guests. thanks for joining us on genius. forjoining us on genius. brilliant i get lots more on that story on our website. and thanks to you, gb news. com is the fastest growing national news country. news website in the country. it's all the breaking it's got all the breaking news and analysis that and brilliant analysis that you've come to expect from us here at gb news. so thank you very much indeed . now moving on very much indeed. now moving on to the latest on the fears over mp safety . and rishi sunak has mp safety. and rishi sunak has today warned that the uk is descending into mob rule. what took him so long to realise that he was speaking after the government announced a £31 million security package to protect mps from threats . but protect mps from threats. but one man who's not impressed with this new scheme is justice minister mike freer, who of course, is not standing in the next general election because of a threat to his safety. if you

recall, it was fire bombed and he was threatened with murder. he narrowly avoided being murdered. he believes he says the extra funding misses the point because it's not actually going to the root cause of the problem. we've been saying that for ages on this show with this man here, our political editor chris hope. chris, how come it's taken rishi so long to wake up to the fact that people in batley and span have been saying there's been there . the there's been mob rule there. the grammar school teacher, three years mob rule the years in hiding, mob rule on the streets outside last streets of london outside last week. government week. finally, the government seemed to have woken up because the were knocking their d00h >> well, the impact on last week's debate on gaza, isn't it? martin? week , martin? wednesday last week, when, of course, the speaker allowed have own allowed labour to have their own motion conflict in gaza motion on the conflict in gaza to take the pressure off these labour in there where they labour mps in there where they live in their constituencies ? live in their constituencies? um, the we see £31 million spent on more security guards, a hotline to police and 48 hours nofice hotline to police and 48 hours notice before any kind of protest can take place. if you

go and protest outside an mp or a candidate's house, that is intimidation . this is the kind intimidation. this is the kind of measures which i think some might say is a good idea. but you heard there from mike freer . you heard there from mike freer. now we know him pretty well from gb been our show gb news been on our our show show before the justice minister, says unless you minister, he says unless you deal with the root cause , you deal with the root cause, you only ring of steel around only have a ring of steel around mps and democracy changes mps and our democracy changes the our democracy is mps and our democracy changes the meant our democracy is mps and our democracy changes the meant to ur democracy is mps and our democracy changes the meant to get emocracy is mps and our democracy changes the meant to get close 'acy is mps and our democracy changes the meant to get close toy is mps and our democracy changes the meant to get close to mps . you meant to get close to mps. we have a one to 1 to 1 relationship with our mp. about 70,000 mp represents represents about 70,000 people. and that that connection might be lost. but earlier my colleague gloria de piero spoke to lord walney , de piero spoke to lord walney, the former labour mp. he's done a review of mp safety and here's what he had to say to her. >> people are not making this up. can see the level often up. you can see the level often of, um, intimidate action that is intended on on this. i mean i've been i've gone into a defence event recently where i had you every one who ran the

gauntlet was being shouted at, screamed at horrific things, said to them. mike megaphone in their face. and that is not about changing people's minds. look, the right to protest, the right to debate the right get right to debate the right to get your to your member your point across to your member of parliament is a foundation of our but but what is our democracy. but but what is happening often at the moment is not that about an implied not that it's about an implied threat of menace and a big physical protest is only one way of many ways in which you can get your point across. actually, i think we need to reset the balance and remind people that if they want to change people's minds, we've we've got an electorate, a process of elections to do that. and you can put yourself forward and you can put yourself forward and you can win a majority. and if you can't get a majority of people to agree with you, it's not really an acceptable subject to think you can menace people who are there into doing what you want . and that's what we saw in want. and that's what we saw in the house of commons last week ,

the house of commons last week, and that's why a lot of people are thinking, hang on, a minute, this right. we need to this isn't right. we need to reset the balance here. >> that balance that >> and it's that balance that lord is that balanced. lord walney spoke there walney spoke about there is clear amnesty , of course. the clear amnesty, of course. the campaign is saying that campaign group is saying that talk rule while the talk of mob rule while the exaggerates the issue and risk delegitimizing rightful and peaceful protests as a balance here, we don't want to have our mps surrounded by police. we want to try and re—engage with that relationship. but the concern is the government goes too far the wrong way. but right now, this of mob rule can't now, this idea of mob rule can't continue. and that's what the pm has been saying. >> chris, great surf and a lot of might think, of people out there might think, well, security? how of people out there might think, well, the security? how of people out there might think, well, the mps security? how of people out there might think, well, the mps get ecurity? how of people out there might think, well, the mps get £31rity? how of people out there might think, well, the mps get £31 millionn come the mps get £31 million worth? didn't security worth? i didn't have security when egg shipped when i was getting egg shipped to parliament last week, when i was getting egg shipped to mob iament last week, when i was getting egg shipped to mob were tl last week, when i was getting egg shipped to mob were wearingeek, and the mob were wearing balaclavas and disgusting images on big the were on big ben. the police were there. just want to there. they just didn't want to act. okay. moving on, dame esther has made a fresh esther rantzen has made a fresh call for a debate and a vote on legalising assisted dying in the uk . we've been asking the great uk. we've been asking the great british public for their views on this very emotive topic.

we'll have that next. i'm martin daubney on gb news, britain's news channel

in 2024, gb news is britain's election channel. >> so join me tom harwood for the rochdale by—election results from midnight through to 6 am. we'll discover the twists and turns of the most unpredictable by—election in a long time that should be celebrated. >> i slept during it, you know, and from 6 am. friday, join michael portillo on gb news breakfast for his take on the results. >> gb news. britain's election . channel >> welcome back 524 is almost the time and you're watching all the time and you're watching all the centre martin daubney on gb news now later this hour i'll discuss the west end play about slavery, where white people will

be banned from attending some of the shows . smells like racism to the shows. smells like racism to me now. dame esther rantzen has once again called for a vote on legalising assisted dying . and legalising assisted dying. and this comes as jersey, the isle of man and scotland consider legalising euthanasia for permanent residents, with mps warning that this would lead to a divergence from laws between different parts of the uk . so different parts of the uk. so should euthanasia be legalised in the uk ? well, gb news has in the uk? well, gb news has been asking what you think about this. >> why should they suffer when they're in agony? and this could go on. this agony could go on for years . and is it fair to for years. and is it fair to make people suffer and not only do they suffer, their families are suffering with them. i think they're going to be a lot of ramification from this. >> i mean , they have it >> i mean, they have it legalised switzerland , don't legalised in switzerland, don't they? it's really going to they? but it's really going to be something that for a long time ruling class will have

time the ruling class will have access to because how access to because of how expensive will be. how expensive it will be. how feasible will it be for the nhs to be able to support it? >> um, not not an easy question to answer. yes, it's not an easy question to say yes and no . so question to say yes and no. so i think we must go into it in depth . but why? in theory, depth. but why? in theory, i don't see why it shouldn't be legalised , because every one has legalised, because every one has a right to die in the way they want to . well joining us now to want to. well joining us now to discuss this is professor kevin yuill, who's the director of humanists against assisted suicide and euthanasia. >> thanks for joining suicide and euthanasia. >> thanks forjoining us on the >> thanks for joining us on the show kevin . so, dame esther show kevin. so, dame esther rantzen herself has terminal stage four cancer. she would like to make that choice with sound mind . um, why would you be sound mind. um, why would you be against that? >> because i think it's a much more complex issue as some of your viewers were talking about then. it's presented , um, by then. it's presented, um, by dame esther rantzen or by those

who advocate legalised assisted suicide and euthanasia and or euthanasia . so, for instance, euthanasia. so, for instance, evenin euthanasia. so, for instance, even in the terminology, it's very different to actually, uh, pin it down. so for instance , pin it down. so for instance, people, you know, your report talked about euthanasia, but euthanasia is when the doctor gives a lethal injection to the patient, whereas assisted suicide is when the patient takes it him or herself . um, and takes it him or herself. um, and most people in the uk don't understand that . so when we ask understand that. so when we ask about assisted dying , for about assisted dying, for instance, which is a confusing and deceptive firm, then people will answer yes , it sounds will answer yes, it sounds reasonable. but of course, when you look into it, it's not. yeah >> i mean, when you look at the polling on this very, very sensitive topic, it is broadly, actually very largely in favour of this. when the question is 74, this is the poll from last january , support doctor assisted january, support doctor assisted dying of terminally ill patients of sound mind , with two doctors

of sound mind, with two doctors approving . so with all of those approving. so with all of those safety checks in place and to give people the freedom of choice to not live a life of excruciating pain , why are you excruciating pain, why are you still against it? >> well, because i think if you look to canada and what's happenedin look to canada and what's happened in canada since it's been legalised in 2016, you can see the nightmare that has happened there . happened there. >> people are being euthanized who are not terminally ill. it was expanded, um, in 2020. people were people are being euthanized for, for instance, suffering from poverty . and of suffering from poverty. and of course, that makes sense because if you say this is for unbearable suffering, how can you turn around and say to somebody , you're not suffering? somebody, you're not suffering? so when you when you have this medical treatment, as it's supposed , as, uh, of death for supposed, as, uh, of death for suffering , then many, many suffering, then many, many people are going to demand it and it will expand as it has in canada. >> also , we can look at, at the

netherlands. >> that's another good example . >> that's another good example. every country where it's been been actually passed , it is it's been actually passed, it is it's expanded . expanded. >> and it is true . when you look >> and it is true. when you look into the terminology , people do into the terminology, people do get more confused. for example , get more confused. for example, a poll showed if the illness is incurable rather than not terminal, then then support it does start to decline. it's only 42% at that point. agree. and i guess that's the point that you're making, isn't it? who decides something is decides if something is insufferable in curable terminal ? and could you find situations where it's being abused , for where it's being abused, for example, by relatives putting pressure on those who are ill to go sooner for, maybe even for financial reasons? perhaps yes. >> yes. i don't think it's common. but where there's a will, there's a relative and it goes the old saying, and i think that's true . and i also think that's true. and i also think the terminology is really problematic in the way that it's being discussed on, shall we say, other news channels on bbc and sky , because they're

and sky, because they're accepting the idea of dignity, dignity and die say that it's for instance, it's a, uh, assisted dying. is this what they want? but of course , if you they want? but of course, if you if a doctor hands you a gun and you shoot yourself with it , you shoot yourself with it, that's suicide. if a if he hands you a rope and you hang yourself with it, that's suicide . and if with it, that's suicide. and if he hands you deadly drugs and you knowingly take them , that you knowingly take them, that also is suicide. so i think we're being deceptive with this terms assisted dying. >> and i'm really disappointed in as i say, some of the other news channels where it's this terminology is accepted . terminology is accepted. >> okay. it's a fascinating debate. and thank you. so much for your input. professor kevin yuille, who's the director of humanists assisted humanists against assisted suicide and euthanasia. thank you much for that. it's an you very much for that. it's an emotive topic, isn't it? and we are undoubtedly going to live longer longer, more and more longer and longer, more and more of us will be living into a very, very old age , and more and very, very old age, and more and more people will be thinking, do

i sit around waiting for i want to sit around waiting for the moment, especially when i'm ill? should that be the right? should there be a freedom of choice? or are things choice? or are some things simply important to do that simply too important to do that now? lots more. still to come between now and 6:00, we'll discuss the damning report that's revealed that wayne couzens history of alleged sexual offending went back nearly 20 years before he killed sarah everard, but first, your latest news headlines with polly middlehurst . middlehurst. >> the top stories this hour. the home secretary has told mps, police officers will be automatically suspended if they're charged with certain criminal offences. the comments come after the sarah everard inquiry found wayne couzens should never have been a police officer . he should never have been a police officer. he killed should never have been a police officer . he killed the 33 should never have been a police officer. he killed the 33 year old in south london in 2021. her family says she died because she would never have got into a stranger's car if he hadn't been a police officer . the

sponsors the gb news financial report . report. >> thank you polly. now wayne couzens should never have been a police officer . and that's the police officer. and that's the conclusion from a damning report into the failings that led to the abduction , rape and murder the abduction, rape and murder of sarah everard. it found that cousins was able to remain in the police because of a series of failures in recruitment and vetting processes. well, joining me now to discuss this is hampshire police and crime commissioner donna jones. donna, welcome to the show. the report is eviscerating looking back at cousins offending way back into the 1990s. and it concludes a lamentable and repeated failure to deal with allegations to police before miss avril's murder in south london in march 2021. how how on earth was he

able to operate for so long? and how on earth can we make sure this never happens again ? this never happens again? >> well, look, today's part two of lady angiolini's report is sadly , uh, really, really sadly, uh, really, really worrying . worrying. >> indeed, yet again, for british policing, as you said , british policing, as you said, how was this monster able to serve in a british police force? >> in fact, in multiple british police forces, how was he not picked up sooner ? picked up sooner? >> how were these failings allowed to happen? >> um, and this is a three part review that lady angelini is doing. um, sadly , the things doing. um, sadly, the things that are contained in the report today are alarming, but not surprising to people who have been following the atrocious behaviours of wayne couzens. this is a man who, as we now have heard , sexually assaulted have heard, sexually assaulted a child in the 1990s who then attempt to kidnap somebody who has raped women. you know, multiple women, um, and then has gone to on rape and murder poor,

poor sarah everard. and so to all of the other victims of his that are out there today and to sarah's family, yet more pain caused the key thing here for me as a police and crime commissioner and for all police chiefs across the country, is to make sure that these things no longer happen . and i must say, longer happen. and i must say, there has been a big improvement across policing over the last year since part one of the review was published . review was published. >> and how can the vetting process be changed? so that monsters like cousins can never even get into the force in the first place? right >> right. so when, uh, police officers are appointed and police staff members are appointed , um, they go through appointed, um, they go through this initial vetting process, they then get revetted after an, after a set period of years. >> sometimes that can be seven years, ten years, a very long penod years, ten years, a very long period of time. so there's two things that have happened over the last 12 months since part one of lady angelina's review. >> um, every single police officer and police staff member in the country has been

revetted, and that has led to a few hundred people leaving their positions as police officers and police staff members. >> secondly to that, the vetting will be now will be done much sooneh will be now will be done much sooner, so there won't be such big gaps in between and thirdly, the part around lady angelina's part two review, published this morning that i particularly like is spot checks, so that a police force can choose to review set randomly any police officer or any police staff member at any given time. >> that's really good. but the call i've been asking for and what i would really like to see, is that if somebody who is a serving police staff member or a police officer commits an offence , or even is arrested in offence, or even is arrested in suspicion of , let's say, a pub suspicion of, let's say, a pub fight in a neighbouring police force area. in another part of the country. >> should be flagged to >> that should be flagged to their home force so they can take on as employment take that on as an employment matter and not around the matter and not just around the criminal neighbouring criminal that the neighbouring police force might be investigating. >> has come a long >> so we this has come a long way, but we still have a way to

go to make sure that no one ever falls the gaps again . falls through the gaps again. >> okay. donna jones excellent insight there. hampshire police and crime commissioner, thanks very much for joining and crime commissioner, thanks very much forjoining on the very much for joining us on the show . now joining me now very much for joining us on the show. now joining me now is michelle dewberry. jubes. welcome to the show. the queen of prime time political debate. what have you got on your menu? hello, by the way. >> am still waiting for >> yeah, i am still waiting for that mug. martin we referenced that, title of me, that, uh, your title of me, didn't the queen of prime didn't we? the queen of prime time. i dropped some non time. and i dropped some non subtle hints where mug? subtle hints where is my mug? that's know . uh, that's what i want to know. uh, anyway, of course, as you would expect, i'm continuing the conversations that i've had you having absolute having about the absolute disgrace that wayne couzens disgrace that is wayne couzens i mean, it just makes your skin crawl . and i wonder, you know, crawl. and i wonder, you know, it's well and good saying, crawl. and i wonder, you know, it's thisnell and good saying, crawl. and i wonder, you know, it's this reformd good saying, crawl. and i wonder, you know, it's this reform thatyd saying, crawl. and i wonder, you know, it's this reform that reformlg, crawl. and i wonder, you know, it's this reform that reform ,i, oh, this reform that reform, this report. but this report, that report. but really , truly are these changes really, truly are these changes actually going to be made? are we going be seeing the we going to be seeing the rhiannon in the police rhiannon jones in the police force out of because make force out of there? because make no mistake, martin, will no mistake, martin, there will be them , uh, kind of be many of them, uh, kind of relaxing feeling that actually i can be a bit of a perv.

welcome back. 542 is your time and you're watching or listening to martin daubney on gb news now. for decades , on gb news now. for decades, britain has been dealing with immigration, but for one part of the uk, it's a relative new experience. northern ireland is only now beginning to see migrant communities, and they are mainly obe taking part in working class areas and making

it their home. and that's causing tensions within the wider community. gb news northern ireland reporter dougie beattie has this report at the end of april 2023, ireland's immigration was up by 31% and over a decade , northern over a decade, northern ireland's has doubled , with ireland's has doubled, with south belfast being the most diverse . diverse. >> tracy kelly is a dup belfast city councillor who deals with the issues in this area on a daily basis . daily basis. >> over the last few years it's changed dramatically. um, i've grown up in this community and i've seen a massive change, um, especially with regards to our schools and our houses and, and doctor's appointments, etc. um communities are really struggling with these issues . struggling with these issues. and i'd say over the last 3 to 4 years, especially since covid, it's got dramatically worse for many in these housing estates depend on family support , with depend on family support, with up to four generations living within streets of one another, waiting lists for social housing

in south belfast is now over 2500. >> some immigrants that have already been housed in contracted units is over 1000. we have working class communities like sandy row , like communities like sandy row, like the donegall pass, who are blending in with others who are coming here to work and live and mix. >> but there is also an issue when there's too many people who can't get housed, that seems to be the main issue that i deal with when people in their own community who have been born and reared here have to move away because there's lack of because there's a lack of housing, and that causes a wee bit . and bit of resentment. and unfortunately, that sometimes that resentment is going to people have migrated here. people who have migrated here. >> given northern ireland's troubled past, the conversation around immigration was never on the agenda. but when you're deaung the agenda. but when you're dealing with communities that are still struggling with their own history and identity and culture and even global alliances, is it wise to introduce those that are seeking a new way of life with their own culture and traditions , to

culture and traditions, to working class and post—conflict areas . working class and post—conflict areas. takira makoni, rappeh it's the african community of northern ireland. i would presume. >> mostly 99% of asylum seekers or migrants , um, and refugees or migrants, um, and refugees are coming to this part of the world would have very little knowledge about the internal, uh , dynamics in northern ireland. so you find out it's almost like you're thrown in the deep water to have the cognisance to say here, i need to pick up that. i'm living on a peace line. and, um, these guys don't like those guys. um, these guys don't like those guys . and maybe these guys can guys. and maybe these guys can tolerate me and those ones won't. you don't have any idea of that. it'll take you up to ten years to get a real sense of that, because remember, you're focussed on trying to rebuild your life to avoid further tensions. >> should government be looking at the placement of those

refugees and migrants ? dougie refugees and migrants? dougie beattie gb news, south belfast . beattie gb news, south belfast. >> it's an excellent report from dougie beattie that now so many of you have been getting in touch throughout the show and please keep messaging me at gb news gb news news at gbnews.com. i've got loads and loads of emails and a few minutes. i'll read out the best of them and some today i'm martin some crackers. today i'm martin daubney gb news britain's daubney on gb news britain's news channel
