7:05 pm
legislation scotland. it it legislation in scotland. it it makes it illegal to stir up hatred . i thought that was hatred. i thought that was already illegal anyway, in the united kingdom. but is this a step too far.7 are the lunatics taken over the asylum? >> well, i think the act is an abomination. you know, you can seek tackle extremism as as seek to tackle extremism as as we through prevent. as long seek to tackle extremism as as weyouthrough prevent. as long seek to tackle extremism as as weyou draw;h prevent. as long seek to tackle extremism as as weyou draw the revent. as long seek to tackle extremism as as weyou draw the line tl. as long seek to tackle extremism as as weyou draw the line at as long seek to tackle extremism as as weyou draw the line at violent as you draw the line at violent extremism, you can seek to outlaw discrimination, as we do through the equalities act. but using the civil law. but to seek to criminalise free speech. i think it's a dog's breakfast. you know, if someone says a black person is less intelligent than a white person, i think they're wrong. i think they're offensive, i think they're ignorant. but you can't use the law to tackle that. you need free speech and open debate to take on the arguments. and i actually think this act will be unenforceable. >> it makes a good point, though , sam, is this act is making ignorance illegal? surely >> well, given that when bill was in government, the labour government introduced an act
7:06 pm
that did pretty much exactly the same thing in england . clearly same thing in england. clearly it is enforceable because it's been for past , been enforced for the past, what, 20 years? the conservative party in 1991 also did the same thing in terms of race. so it's beenin thing in terms of race. so it's been in force in the uk for years. and this isn't criminalising ignorance, it's criminalising ignorance, it's criminalising putting people in dangen criminalising putting people in danger. it targets threats and it targets abuse . and we have in it targets abuse. and we have in scotland and in the uk. oh hold on a minute. >> but when you when you have a go at these people, you know, based on their age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, transgender identity, etc, when you're having a go at these people and stirring up hatred, surely that is ignorance. >> certainly makes you >> it certainly makes you ignorant. >> it certainly makes you ign(law:. >> it certainly makes you ign(law criminalises. it's the law criminalises. it's criminalises threats and abuse. and so that isn't just saying i don't like black people, i don't like gay people. it's like it's saying because i think gay people are an abomination or their their relationships are less valuable. we should go out and hurt them. we should do something that that makes their
7:07 pm
lives a misery. that's threats and abuse. and what we're seeing in the uk, and particularly in scotland at the moment, is an increase the last over increase over the last over recent years in violent hate crimes against minorities. and those are those increases are in direct correlation with an increase in people saying things onune increase in people saying things online and in public that are inciting people to hate and to attack and to discriminate against them. and so we need if we're going to protect people from violence, we need to address the causes of violence. it's worked in in england , and it's worked in in england, and that's what we need to do. >> bill, i want to come back to you now because some he thinks it makes reasonable points. it makes some reasonable points. he the blame at he sort of puts the blame at your when you in your door when, when you was in government. but we look at government. but if we look at some the teachings in the some of the teachings in the bible, sure some bible, i'm fairly sure that some of those teachings in the bible, they they stir some of they they stir up some sort of hatred groups. hatred against minority groups. >> i'm not >> yeah. look, i'm not i'm not advocating you promote advocating that you promote hatred, but this legislation is drawn much more widely the drawn much more widely than the previous law isolation.
7:08 pm
previous uk wide law isolation. and, you know, you can actually anonymously report hate crimes under this. you can actually in scotland , report anonymously in scotland, report anonymously in sex shops and mushroom farms. you know, this is it's got what kind of mushrooms , bill? not kind of mushrooms, bill? not sure. i don't think they're magic mushrooms. magic mushrooms? no i don't think so. i think that's where we're going. but it's got echoes of, you know, the east german stasi, where encouraged where parents were encouraged to report insufficiently communist. being insufficiently communist. and you can't use the law to outlaw people's views. you need to challenge them, you need to expose them, and you need to take them on with free speech and debate. this legislation will not help. >> is it killing free speech, sam? no. >> well, first, it's actually drawn than than drawn less widely than the than the bill the law that that bill introduced because introduced in government because this, just looks at threats this, this just looks at threats and whereas the one that and abuse. whereas the one that bill introduced bill's government introduced also include included insults. secondly, criminalising secondly, it's not criminalising beliefs. it's criminalising using your belief as an excuse
7:09 pm
to bully people and encourage violence. and abuse against them. it's perfectly fine to have beliefs the law doesn't criminalise, that it's perfectly fine to express those beliefs. the law doesn't criminalise that. >> bill's chomping at the bit here. sam criminal. let him come back in. >> okay? come on then. >> okay? come on then. >> if it's simple and straightforward, why has it taken from taken three years from the passing legislation passing of the legislation to enactment ? it's taken that long enactment? it's taken that long because the police have got an almighty of drawing up almighty task of drawing up guidelines what will be a guidelines of what will be a hate crime and what will not be a hate crime. and you know, the training for the police in scotland, just two hours online to be making to be made to be making incredibly sensitive, important judgements. and i actually think it will eventually just wither on the vine or it will be repealed . repealed. >> and this is the thing, sam. we see the police when we see these horrific, graphics being projected onto elizabeth tower, you know, from the river to the sea. all what that sea. we all know what that means. idly when means. they stand idly by when that, stirring up that, for me, is stirring up hatred. do nothing . how are
7:10 pm
hatred. they do nothing. how are the police different in scotland? are they going to look at these reported crimes? 3000 since these since monday. are these so—called have been so—called hate crimes have been reported police? how reported to the police? how are they to investigate them they going to investigate them properly way they do properly in the same way they do in in the rest of uk. in the in the rest of the uk. >> in england, when you like elizabeth . yeah. because elizabeth tower. yeah. because projecting from the river, from the the sea. israeli the river to the sea. israeli politicians say from the river to the sea all the time. palestinian politicians say from the river sea. the river to the sea. >> yeah, but all know what it >> yeah, but we all know what it means, we? means, don't we? >> i know what it means. >> well, i know what it means. it's the palestine it's talking about the palestine after israel was created and before israeli government before the israeli government started bulldozers to turf started using bulldozers to turf palestinian off their, palestinian people off their, off their land, that's what from the river to the sea means to me. so i don't think from the river to the sea is particularly offensive abusive. i offensive or abusive. and i think stirred up in think it's been stirred up in bad faith. you're not jewish, are you, no . and the police, are you, no. and the police, though, are competent and capable of determining what is likely to be prosecutable or what is not really. and well ,
7:11 pm
what is not really. and well, they should be at least. and but this is a it's a matter for the police to figure out how to enforce. >> okay, let's let's try and talk about something that we might on and is might agree on guys. and that is the, the flag, the flag of saint george union we've george and the union flag we've seen over past few weeks. seen over the past few weeks. certain organisations trying seen over the past few weeks. ce interfereinisations trying seen over the past few weeks. ce interfere with:ions trying seen over the past few weeks. ce interfere with the; trying seen over the past few weeks. ce interfere with the flag. trying seen over the past few weeks. ce interfere with the flag. ising to interfere with the flag. is it time, bill, to leave our flag alone ? alone? >> i think yes. i mean, i'm >> i think so, yes. i mean, i'm fed up with commercial organisations designing different flags for different types of flags for commercial reasons. i don't think this is actually driven by ideology . you know, nike was ideology. you know, nike was rubbing its hands when it got about three days worth of marketing and publicity. whilst the debate was raging on the airways and on on the tv. the debate was raging on the airways and on on the tv . you airways and on on the tv. you know, we do have a national flag. we have a national identity. you apply your own values to that national identity. but i don't think you should change the flag , sam. should change the flag, sam. >> i mean, i think i think we have started on the magic mushrooms . have started on the magic mushrooms. now, have started on the magic mushrooms . now, we've just been mushrooms. now, we've just been talking about how important freedom speech and then freedom of speech is. and then but of speech when but not freedom of speech when it flag, if you're
7:12 pm
it comes to the flag, if you're if believe freedom if you believe in freedom of speech, you want speech, then do what you want with flag . it's an embrace with the flag. it's an embrace it. it is part of our national heritage and part of our national is growing national heritage is growing and building changing and building and changing and developing, and the flag should be part of so to have be a part of that. so to have a conversation where we say, well, if people threatening , if people are threatening, threatening minorities, that's free forbid we free speech. but god forbid we do a bit of art with the flag. i mean, that's just that's just bonkers to me . bonkers to me. >> but i'm not prescribing it. i'm not saying you should take legal action over that. i'm saying not sensible. saying it's not sensible. >> vast think >> and i think the vast i think we've mix up this week, we've got to mix up this week, guys. to producer guys. i'll speak to the producer later, i think should later, which i think you should be left the corner. be the left in the corner. i think bill should be sat over here because this is this is astounding. look, i mean, astounding. but look, i mean, the is part of our the flag, it is part of our history, our heritage, our culture, know, history, our heritage, our cultconsensus know, history, our heritage, our cultconsensus of know, history, our heritage, our cultconsensus of the know, history, our heritage, our cultconsensus of the british w, the consensus of the british pubuc the consensus of the british public leave it alone. public is to leave it alone. you've these woelki, you've you've got these woelki, you've got multi billion pound got these multi billion pound organisations trying to interfere. you this interfere. and i'll ask you this then, sam, if, if it doesn't matter how many other countries around the world are swapping their changing the
7:13 pm
their flag or changing the colours on it, just name me one. >> i mean, in the united states, for example, you get the the for example, you get the in the united states, you've got police who wanted to, sort of have a go at the black lives matter. protesters change the united states flag to make a little thin blue line flag made in the united states. flag black and white. uk, white. in the uk, the conservative party and ukip have both changed the colour of the of union flag . ukip i think, of the union flag. ukip i think, made it purple. the conservatives all blue. conservatives made it all blue. i think labour may well have done so as well, making putting the flags in different colours and using them for sort of pop art. that's been going on for ages and i think to sort of just it's this, it's a totally confected, but i think the good news is, bill, that the olympics , the british olympic team are going wear the proper, union going to wear the proper, union flag on, on their, on their, on their kit. >> they are i think that's good news. but but the other problem ihave news. but but the other problem i have with it is there is an agenda on of politics, agenda on the right of politics, of wanting to, to fight culture wars. yeah. and i think
7:14 pm
organisations, people who try to change the flag are actually giving grist to that mill. and giving grist to that mill. and giving ammunition. and i don't think we need that kind of debate . you know, we have debate. you know, we have a national flag. it's been there for centuries. we should leave it as it is. yeah. >> final word to you, sam . >> final word to you, sam. >> final word to you, sam. >> look. free speech. it's important. it's a foundation stone of democracy. but we shouldn't be using to free speech attack and hate people. we should be able to discuss issues without without being abusive and threatening . this abusive and threatening. this discussion about the flag. that's a great example of how three people can really disagree about something, completely about something, have completely opposing views, discuss it opposing views, and discuss it in manner . opposing views, and discuss it in manner. it's not in a reasonable manner. it's not hard to do that. and i think that's that's what we should take away and embrace. >> well, thank you for that. thanks, guys. really thanks, guys. that's really good.thank thanks, guys. that's really good. thank you for being a good sport, bill being left the sport, bill being left in the corner. you're corner. but next time you're going sat here sam going to be sat here and sam will there. look do not will be sat there. look do not go because coming up next go away because coming up next we've three former we've got three time former world champion duke mckenzie

straight to it, this week again. well, last weekend we saw over a thousand or nearly a thousand, migrants crossed the channel into this country. nothing seems to be working. i mean , the to be working. i mean, the government was saying a number 10 was saying that, crossings are down by 36. they're now up by 40, they're now saying it's the weather, the good weather is allowing more people to come over the channel, we was making the argument a few months back that they was the bad weather that they it was the bad weather that they it was the bad weather that was stopping people. they wouldn't agree to that. so, chloe, what's to stop this chloe, what's going to stop this once all? once and for all? >> think that we need to >> i think that we need to tow the france. it's the boats back to france. it's the boats back to france. it's the way we're to the only way that we're going to stop i think this rwanda stop it. i think this rwanda plan, can give a shot, but plan, we can give it a shot, but i that it's really going i doubt that it's really going to anything and it's going to to do anything and it's going to cost us, apparently, 172 grand per now offering per person. we're now offering them three grand pocket per person. we're now offering them tiase grand pocket per person. we're now offering them tiase g incentive. )ocket money as an incentive. apparently which is completely insane. of hard insane. i'm sure a lot of hard working brits that can't afford to put food on the table would quite like three a time quite like three grand at a time like this. sunak. just like this. rishi sunak. just doesn't to do doesn't have the backbone to do what's doesn't have the backbone to do thokay, well , i think we need >> okay, well, i think we need to tackle the problem , but we
7:29 pm
to tackle the problem, but we need to put it in context. >> it's about 30,000 a year coming over on the boats. the numbers of people being granted visas last year was 1.4 million. you know, the government has many levers at its disposal many more levers at its disposal to tackle immigration, i think the rwanda bill is a gimmick. it's hugely expensive. it's legally full of holes. and i think you need to get better returns agreements in place. you need to clear the asylum backlog , which is what labour did when we were in power. you know, the net migration figure is now three times as high as it was. >> say that bill, but what happens when you see some of these men that come over these young men that come over and we know that do it. and we know that they do it. they about where they come they lie about where they come from. returns from. so how can your returns agreement country when agreement with a country when these blatantly lying these people are blatantly lying on country they've started on which country they've started off they always off from, but they always have. >> minister >> i mean, when i was a minister in labour government, in the last labour government, we grappling the we were grappling with the asylum challenge. i will acknowledge years acknowledge in our early years in government, get it in government, we didn't get it right. over the last five, right. but over the last five, six years, we dramatically reduced asylum
7:30 pm
reduced the number of asylum seekers needs. serious seekers it needs. serious application seekers it needs. serious app gimmicks and stunts, which not gimmicks and stunts, which is what having sunak is what we're having from sunak chloe, that yes, we need chloe, i think that yes, we need to the asylum backlog and to clear the asylum backlog and so on, but when we clear the backlog, what happens? >> what we do is we pass about 80% of the claims to give them, give them refugee status. then they then go social housing they then go into social housing and up all the housing and and take up all the housing and the just go missing. the other 20% just go missing. >> begin to reduce >> but you begin to reduce the pull what the pull factor. what are the biggest pull for illegal biggest pull factors for illegal migrants coming to this country is they know they'll come here and their claim won't, won't be deau and their claim won't, won't be dealt with for 2 or 3 years. that's that's a they know that they'll a five they'll come here and get a five star to stay in free. star hotel to stay in for free. >> that's brings them here. >> that's what brings them here. >> that's what brings them here. >> star hotels. >> get five star hotels. >> get five star hotels. >> i've seen plenty of >> oh, i've seen plenty of videos of the accommodation that they pretty they get. it looks pretty nice. some or want some of it. you or i would want to live in the accommodation that in that they're living in regardless, they're getting a free coming here free home for coming here illegally. the illegally. they've broken the law. pointed out the law. and you've pointed out the fact the numbers much fact that the numbers are much smaller net legal smaller than net legal migration. problem migration. however, the problem with this, even though the numbers much smaller, is numbers are much smaller, is that undocumented
7:31 pm
that these are undocumented young lot of the time young males a lot of the time coming from countries coming from the countries that have the record in the have the worst record in the world treatment of world for their treatment of women. way, the home women. by the way, the home office is refusing reveal to office is refusing to reveal to gb news the number of asylum seekers committed seekers who have committed sexual crimes . and this is sexual crimes. and this is extremely scandalous. that's why even though the numbers are small, it's such an issue. this is a really big national security issue. well, i mean, i actually agree with you. >> you've committed a sexual >> if you've committed a sexual crime, a you shouldn't be crime, a crime, you shouldn't be eligible asylum . eligible for asylum. >> but we shouldn't have to wait for to here and rape for them to come here and rape somebody we kick them out. >> no. >> no. >> and look at abdul >> and that's look at abdul ezedl >> and that's look at abdul ezedi. was allowed stay ezedi. he was allowed to stay here the that he here despite the fact that he was found guilty of sexual assault . i was found guilty of sexual assault. i think on two occasions. yeah. he was then allowed because he came up with some bogus christianity conversion. right. shouldn't conversion. right. he shouldn't have come here in the first place. he here on a lorry place. he came here on a lorry illegally. should been illegally. he should have been kicked straight kicked out immediately, straight away, have away, and it wouldn't have happened. away, and it wouldn't have happened . those people wouldn't happened. those people wouldn't have been sexually assaulted. and children and that woman and her children would not had acid thrown would not have had acid thrown over them. >> assess that all
7:32 pm
>> but you can't assess that all in the moment. people have to have right you we're have a right and you know, we're party treaties party to international treaties that the way that i think are the right way forward. have forward. you have to have a right to make a claim, but we need a right to break into a country. to tackle country. no, you need to tackle the at source . and, you the problem at source. and, you know, something know, i'm not saying something that impossible . we did it that is impossible. we did it under last labour under the last labour government, and we had dramatically fewer numbers than we're having at moment. the we're having at the moment. the government is not serious about tackling the problem. government is not serious about tacisoig the problem. government is not serious about taciso isthe problem. government is not serious about taciso is there oblem. government is not serious about taciso is there alem. government is not serious about taciso is there a labour >> so is there a labour government? looks we're government? it looks like we're going government going to get a labour government back year. are they back end of this year. are they going solve this crisis? going to solve this crisis? >> i highly, doubt i >> i highly, highly doubt it. i don't starmer has the don't think keir starmer has the backbone to do it, nor does rishi think labour rishi sunak. but i think labour will be worse because what keir starmer has done well on up to now just not being the tories now is just not being the tories and able to get away and he's been able to get away with really revealing what with not really revealing what his as we get his policies are. but as we get closer and closer to the election actually needs election and he actually needs to what going to do, to say what he's going to do, we're that a lot of we're realising that a lot of his policies absolutely his policies are absolutely bogus. challenged bogus. so when he was challenged on you going to do on what are you going to do about suggested about the boats, he suggested that to the that we start cosying up to the eu and become closer
7:33 pm
eu even more and become closer and to becoming member and closer to becoming a member again this problem, again to solve this problem, which like which to me sounds like dangerous territory. >> do need to >> that's because we do need to cooperate know, cooperate with europe. you know, when in european when we were in the european union, 30,000 union, we didn't have 30,000 people the channel people coming across the channel through because had through the boats because we had effective returns agreements in place. this, place. and i'll tell you this, if say that , but you say if you say that, but you say that, bill. >> but when we were in the european didn't european union, europe didn't have hundreds have you know, hundreds of thousands coming thousands of people coming over over as well, over the mediterranean as well, did and there's did they? and now there's a trickle a few years trickle started a few years back, but not to the amount. what getting through what we're getting today through libya the rest libya to italy, through the rest of look, there's of europe. well look, there's a whole of worldwide, whole series of worldwide, things are things happening that are growing know, but growing the number know, but you've just stated, bill, the labour was much better on this and they didn't and they weren't they didn't have situation with have the situation to deal with what got oh, we do what we've got today. oh, we do go back to some of the influxes we as a result we had as a result of afghanistan, of iraq. >> when we were in government, we actually tackled it. and you say serious about it. say we're not serious about it. i'll you this. i was i'll tell you this. i was not only a minister, was the mp only a minister, i was the mp for very, very marginal seat. for a very, very marginal seat. and every conversation had and every conversation i had with blair and gordon brown with tony blair and gordon brown in the 5 6 years in
7:34 pm
in the last 5 or 6 years in government, the first thing they asked me was, what's what's the perception of asylum and immigration in your constituency 7 immigration in your constituency ? because they were concerned genuinely about tackling the numbers . and we did, you know, numbers. and we did, you know, look, look at it in 2004 or 5. and the numbers were high. look at numbers by 2010. and they at the numbers by 2010. and they were significantly . were down significantly. >> i'm pretty sure back in the day, i think blair day, i think tony blair suggested offshoring offshore processing. >> we looked it and i was >> we looked at it and i was part of that, but it was for processing. it wasn't for leaving there permanently. leaving them there permanently. i one of the i think that's one of the fundamental the fundamental problems with the rwanda . rwanda scheme. >> would that be a deterrent, chloe? processing them offshore, maybe somewhere maybe you know, somewhere thousands away in a thousands of miles away in a british potentially it british colony, potentially it would better than what we've would be better than what we've got they come got now where they just come here sit in at here and sit in a hotel at the taxpayer's expense wreak taxpayer's expense and wreak havoc communities . havoc in our communities. >> but don't think that rwanda >> but i don't think that rwanda is a place send people is a scary place to send people to. is a safe country, and to. it is a safe country, and it's not country . it's not a safe country. >> you know, not only the international courts, but domestic law has found, rwanda
7:35 pm
to be unsafe, and, you know, i think the government needs to do its work more effectively and more seriously. >> isn't the un being quite hypocritical there? they're telling us off of trying to send people to rwanda whilst they've actually sent asylum seekers themselves to rwanda, right? yeah. >> i'm not responsible for the united nations. what i do know. >> so you think they were wrong to say no? >> yeah. and think we need to >> yeah. and i think we need to operate within law. can operate within the law. you can do that effectively, but you need you do that effectively, but you need to you do that effectively, but you need to do you do that effectively, but you need to do your you do that effectively, but you need to do your research you do that effectively, but you need to do your research y> this the thing that >> but this is the thing that really, winds my really, really winds my constituents keep hearing constituents up. we keep hearing about obligations , about international obligations, international people international law, people in places i places like ashfield, where i represent , do not lie awake at represent, do not lie awake at night worrying about our reputation on the international stage. they want our country to be safe. they want our borders to be secure. and they want they want us to stop these people coming into the country. they are chloe says, agree coming into the country. they are chloe. oe says, agree coming into the country. they are chloe. surprisingly,'ee with chloe. surprisingly, they are country. are breaking into our country. they are abusing our asylum system. they are living in 4 or 5 star hotels and then when we
7:36 pm
clear backlog , which we seem clear the backlog, which we seem to be bragging all the to be bragging about all the time, no good at all. time, that does no good at all. because then they go into social housing the rents housing and the rents in ashfield up 3,040, ashfield now are up 3,040, because at because housing now is at a premium . premium. >> chloe on the point about >> chloe so on the point about social housing, you've got so many brits who are really struggling with the cost of living crisis, who can't afford to bills. and to pay their bills. and meanwhile give about meanwhile we give what, about half social to half of social housing to immigrants, just immigrants, which is just absolutely insane. we need to be putting britain first. and we live era where people seem live in an era where people seem to that racist. if to think that it's racist. if you prioritise a brit over an immigrant. but i think that's just morality. that just basic morality. that doesn't mean you shouldn't care about all the about people at all from the rest the world, but brits rest of the world, but brits have first. brits are have to come first. brits are being back of the being put at the back of the queue for everything, and now we live world where if you are live in a world where if you are a young, white, straight, british , you're seen as british male, you're seen as evil. it's horrendous. >> don't think that's true. >> i don't think that's true. and a whole host of local authorities are now designing their housing allocations policy, where residency and longevity of residency is now
7:37 pm
the key requirement . and lee, the key requirement. and lee, you talk about, you know, just ripping up international treaties and obligations. the problem is that's a slippery slope . i was a foreign office slope. i was a foreign office minister, went round the world trying attract investment to trying to attract investment to this country. one of the things people attracted by people are really attracted by is the certainty and the rule of law. once you start ripping up your international legal obugafions your international legal obligations , your business is obligations, your business is going to say what's next? and that's going to cost us. >> but i'll tell you what, my constituents are bothered about, bill. that is letting rapists and murderers and sex offenders into our country, which we seem to now and or to be doing now and or on a daily basis. we should stop that. should stop that. and that. we should stop that. and the you it by the way you stop it is by stopping them coming here in the first backs. agree first place. turn backs. i agree with with taking with that. i agree with taking them the day, but them back the same day, but there's in them back the same day, but thereplace in them back the same day, but thereplace over in them back the same day, but thereplace over there, in them back the same day, but thereplace over there, chloe, to that place over there, chloe, to do this. and i don't think the labour do either labour party will do it either because remember been because remember when we've been debating parliament debating this in parliament for the years, it's always the last four years, it's always a keeps saying a labour lot that keeps saying all the time that 80% of these people over genuine people going over are genuine asylum seekers, know, we
7:38 pm
asylum seekers, and we know, we know they're not. >> i just at the >> i mean, just look at the videos pictures of the videos and the pictures of the boats coming if are boats coming in. if these are genuine where genuine asylum seekers, where are women and children? why are the women and children? why aren't their aren't these men bringing their vulnerable members vulnerable family members with them? yeah, just look at the it's all young clearly it's all young males. clearly these economic now these are economic migrants. now i don't deny that some of them may genuine refugees, but it may be genuine refugees, but it looks like the vast majority are economic migrants also , if economic migrants and also, if they are supposedly refugees, they are supposedly refugees, they are supposedly refugees, they are coming from northern france. that is a safe place . france. that is a safe place. they do not need to risk their lives and pay thousands of thousands of pounds or thousands of euros to some illegal gang members to come across to britain. >> but you hit the nail on the headin >> but you hit the nail on the head in the european union, we had convention we had the dublin convention and we could returns to country could secure returns to country of origin elsewhere in the european union. >> throw their passports >> they throw their passports el—sisi. we don't even know whether the whether we're not in the european union, but we need better cooperation and management european countries. >> and we're not going to get that by throwing stones from the sidelines. >> okay. throwing stones. let's throw more stones, throw some more stones, guys. yes. you know the
7:39 pm
yes. or no quiz. you know the rules. it's a yes or no answer. you can't do a stephen pound and take 20 minutes to answer one question. it's got to be a yes or no. okay, so i'll go to you first. bill, do you agree with scotland's new hate crime bill? no .chloe. no. chloe , number two no .chloe. no. chloe, number two to you, will donald trump win the us election? yes no. bill. will the rwanda scheme work? no. chloe? no. chloe should we leave the echr? yes. no clear divisions here. and the final question for bill to you. should we rejoin the eu? >> it's not realistically achievable. no. so that's an incorrect answer. >> you did a stephen powis. it was a yes or no . steven's a good was a yes or no. steven's a good man, so i can't give you a cross there. chloe no. wow. five four, five four. do you want to come back on one and explain? you spoke about give me trump. trump. yeah. go on trump. >> i think he'd be dangerous. you know he talks on day you know he talks about on day one. negotiating with the
7:40 pm
russians, effectively giving in to over ukraine. i to the russians over ukraine. i think he'd be a danger for america and a danger for the world. it is very early in the race, and already the polls are tightening. and i think when push comes shove , enough of push comes to shove, enough of the centre ground in america will not support him. and remember , he's never won the remember, he's never won the popular in america, even popular vote in america, even when he beat hillary clinton, he lost the popular vote by 3 million. >> i think ahead now on the >> i think he's ahead now on the popular vote in america. chloe, trump you to trump is. but do you want to come one? trump is. but do you want to coni'll one? trump is. but do you want to coni'll back? trump is. but do you want to coni'll back on trump as >> i'll come back on trump as well and rebut that. so i well and just rebut that. so i think of all, i think that think first of all, i think that the race clinton and the race between clinton and trump closer than trump looks is closer than between biden and trump, because biden i mean, this is i'm sorry, but he is just a dementia patient. >> and that's just your opinion . >> and that's just your opinion. >> and that's just your opinion. >> no one trusts him on the world stage. and and they world stage. and then and they trust trump. you you say, trust trump. and you you say, you say he's you say he's unsafe trump. look at what's trump. but look at what's happening under biden. the same problem we've got here but on a much, scale. they've much, much worse scale. they've had, what, million had, what, over 7 million illegal migrants through illegal migrants come through the border. we even had biden
7:41 pm
snuck in without telling anyone. until recently, 320,000 illegal migrants. he's given them all in new york, a bunch of credit cards. so like we're doing with our five star hotels and giving them a free ride . and, you know, them a free ride. and, you know, there's this theory that he's doing this because he wants the votes from them. and this is a huge security issue. and it is completely devastating communities. that the communities. there that the states in america, even though geographically it's a big space, they're much less densely populated. and so that 7 million that are coming through, that's bigger than i think the population of most, most us states people are really states and people are really concerned about this. so people in washington might be a bit out of touch, but people across america have had enough of this. and you talk about, you know, the international realm. and although it is perhaps, you know, slightly more questionable who's going to be safer, biden or trump ? i think you want or trump? i think you want someone who is a strong negotiator who can stand up to other leaders. but he's not.
7:42 pm
he's not. biden's like a little kid. hold on. >> you talk about security. two of the biggest security challenges we face are russia and north korea. and what did donald trump do when he in donald trump do when he was in office? up to them office? he cosied up to them when sat down with putin, he when he sat down with putin, he actually refused to accept the intelligence briefings he was getting from the cia about what putin was doing. that is scandalous. >> and so we'll leave it there, guys, brilliant. chloe, you're the clear winner. must do better next time. bill, it's five four, but look, coming up next, we've got john mckenzie. he's coming back for last orders
7:43 pm
7:44 pm
7:45 pm
