, that was when we had these sorts numbers coming across sorts of numbers coming across in the ferries. so we did develop very, very big backlog develop a very, very big backlog erg in the 2000s. but by erg in the early 2000s. but by the we got to 2010, we'd the time we got to 2010, we'd done number of things in the done a number of things in the uk agency, of which i uk border agency, of which i was part , which called intake part, which was called intake reduction on the one hand. so we did a lot of work to put our resources into france to stop people coming across. they were coming ferries on coming in the ferries and on lorries days. be fair, lorries those days. to be fair, not on boats, but we did a lot of on the french side to of work on the french side to reduce intake. was part of reduce intake. i was part of that and we did a lot of removals. we sent a of removals. nigel we sent a lot of people mean, thousands people back. i mean, thousands every being sent back. every year were being sent back. we had targets. i had teams of, of officers had removals of officers who had removals targets. and your job was to take cases from start to finish targets. and your job was to tairemoval from start to finish targets. and your job was to tairemoval stage. tart to finish targets. and your job was to tairemoval stage. howo finish targets. and your job was to tairemoval stage. how isinish targets. and your job was to tairemoval stage. how is itish targets. and your job was to tairemoval stage. how is it that to removal stage. how is it that it was politically acceptable under and then brown under a blair and then brown labour deport labour government to deport thousands people thousands of people who shouldn't and suddenly shouldn't be there and suddenly we can't rid of anybody? we can't get rid of anybody? well think there's been well, i think there's been a ttme— well, i think there's been a number-things- well, i think there's been a number things have number of things that have heppehet— number of things that have happened home office in happened in the home office in eem— happened in the home office in eeem-whet.— happened in the home office in recent-nigel, the- recent years. nigel, the windrush scandal was absolutely knocked them for six. these

problems with the small boats, they haven't really been able to get a grip of in terms of investment in removals . a lot of investment in removals. a lot of the cohorts that are coming across now are really quite hard to remove because they come from countries that simply refuse to take people back. even if they're refused asylum, which is where rwanda came from. but the biggest me biggest problem of all for me has been all of these legal barriers removal. so every barriers to removal. so every time as an immigration officer, the immigration officer is watching programme will watching this programme will empathise arrest empathise with this. they arrest somebody right somebody and they'll say, right , somebody here. he's , i've got somebody here. he's he's we he's he's as far as we know, he's removable. the next day there will be something that will crop up and then something else will crop up. and then saw what crop up. and then you saw what happened year. happened with rwanda last year. you covering that live as you were covering that live as the was the runway. the plane was on the runway. yeah, was a lawyer in the yeah, there was a lawyer in the european court persuading a judge had knowing about this judge who had knowing about this really ex parte hearing the home office didn't even to put office didn't even get to put their the story to say, their side of the story to say, well, sorry, we need to. well, no, i'm sorry, we need to. and the problem. and this has been the problem. delay, delay . and the home

delay, delay. and the home office will get the blame for this. politicians say it's this. politicians will say it's all of home all the fault of the home office. clear these office. they should clear these cases quickly. not cases really quickly. not fit for only way to for purpose. the only way to clear cases really, really quickly to grant them you quickly to grant them all you want people really want us to want to people really want us to grant isn't this interesting? because actually we if you take theme— because actually we if you take athehte tet— because actually we if you take albania for argument's sake, tetepe— albania for argument's sake, tetepe ehe— albania for argument's sake, farage and germany last year teeeet— farage and germany last year teeeet eete— farage and germany last year issued said zero— farage and germany last year issued said zero asylum claims to issued said zero asylum claims te athehtehe— issued said zero asylum claims to albanians, yet— issued said zero asylum claims to albanians, yet 50% of athehtehe— to albanians, yet 50% of albanians that come here get ptehtet— albanians that come here get granted asylum _ albanians that come here get granted asylum status. so yes, you— granted asylum status. so yes, yee ehe— granted asylum status. so yes, yee eteet— granted asylum status. so yes, you can clear the— granted asylum status. so yes, you can clear the backlog by eheettwety— you can clear the backlog by effectively letting everybody in. effectively letting everybody th we— effectively letting everybody th we hewe— effectively letting everybody in. we have now deported some athentene— in. we have now deported some athehtehe. t— in. we have now deported some albanians. i understand. / albanians. i understand. yeah. if albanians. i understand. yeah. ttyee— albanians. i understand. yeah. ttyee teet— albanians. i understand. yeah. tt yee teet et— albanians. i understand. yeah. if you look at the— albanians. i understand. yeah. if you look at the latest figures, which kind of proves my point, nigel, there is a direct correlation between intake reduction and removals as we've started to an immigration enforcement i know have been tasked with the duty of finding albanians who now they've got a grip of all these outstanding claims. accelerated claims. they've accelerated those through the system and they've and them they've said, go and get them and they're being back, and they're being sent back, visibly the albanian visibly sent back. the albanian intake the boats has

intake on the boats has gone has dropped remarkably the last dropped remarkably in the last few weeks because the word is out. a huge out. social media is a huge accelerator in all of this. the price is on. tiktok have even dropped . oh, oh. they have dropped. oh, oh. they have sales. so so, so i've just proved my point . i think this proved my point. i think this proves my point that at a concerted effort on removals, have they got removals, targets 7 have they got removals, targets ? yes, of course. there's places it's really difficult in some countries. what about rwanda ? countries. what about rwanda? what about other countries? we can there a dedicated can send is there a dedicated line of effort between casework enforcement across from enforcement right across from border arrival and then border force arrival and then you've accommodate you've got these accommodate problems we're simply problems because we're simply not equipped, nigel, to be able to deal with these. well, let's come to deal with these. well, let's teet— to deal with these. well, let's eeet te— to deal with these. well, let's come back to that— : well, let's come back to that because heeeee— come back to that because heeeee h— come back to that because because in the— come back to that because because in the last week we've het— because in the last week we've het-seempteh— because in the last week we've had scampton announcement, had the scampton announcement, we've-essex former- we've had the essex former raf heee—we-we- we've had the essex former raf heeewe—we heti we've had the essex former raf. base _we've had the base announcement, we've had the heehttt— base announcement, we've had the bexhill announcement. we now me— bexhill announcement. we now hewe—hetpe- have the portland barge announcement and something might heppeh— announcement and something might heppeh et— announcement and something might happen at catterick,_ announcement and something might happen at catterick, but no teetty— happen at catterick, but no one's really decided because he— one's really decided because he the— one's really decided because he the the— one's really decided because it's the pm's constituency, what it's the pm's constituency, what tt wttt— it's the pm's constituency, what tt wttt he. — it's the pm's constituency, what tt wttt he. se— it's the pm's constituency, what it will be. so about 5400 spaces hewe— it will be. so about 5400 spaces hewe teen— it will be. so about 5400 spaces have been cleared— it will be. so about 5400 spaces have been cleared over the course of the— have been cleared over the

tell you, you know him just like i know him. he is absolutely using this and capitalising on it as he should, to point out what is wrong with america today and the injustices that are happening and the corruption going on within the government . going on within the government. so you think this will make him stronger, not weaker , i wonder. stronger, not weaker, i wonder. you see, will voters in the meth— you see, will voters in the middle ground— you see, will voters in the middle ground the undecideds ? middle ground the undecideds? phr— middle ground the undecideds? wttt they— middle ground the undecideds? will they warm _ middle ground the undecideds? will they warm to his cause , will they warm to his cause, pheh— will they warm to his cause, ptweh whet-e— will they warm to his cause, given what's happened ? �*ftt�*tzgc given what's happened? well, thew— given what's happened? well, knew to— given what's happened? well, know 10 million— given what's happened? well, know 10 million reasons which reflect the $10 million that he has raised off it, which gives me confidence that this will actually help donald j. trump in the end. listen the real problem with 2020 and why he lost and we can we analyse it, but the can we can analyse it, but the main reason people were not main reason why people were not engaged , his voters did not show engaged, his voters did not show up at the polls, especially in the key cities that he needed them to . he also did not bring them to. he also did not bring them to. he also did not bring the independents that did the independents that he did in 2016. this right here makes every american who has ever felt

that they've been wrong, wronged or targeted by the government, whether it's be local or federal , who has ever had to fight the irs for a penalty. they didn't think had. this makes think they had. this makes donald j. trump the billionaire in extremely relatable. and that's why this is going to work in his advantage in end, in his advantage in the end, because everything keep because everything they keep throwing not only is throwing at him, not only is it going to get old, but it'll give him the platform to talk about the he believes, the corruption that he believes, rightfully so, exists within the us government currently , we okay us government currently, we okay strong opinion there. thank you, scottie strong opinion there. thank you, seettte wett— strong opinion there. thank you, scottie nell hughes,— strong opinion there. thank you, scottie nell hughes, for- g " tzzt" stihz; thank you, scottie nell hughes, for that . scottie nell hughes, for that. eet-e— scottie nell hughes, for that. tet-e pe— scottie nell hughes, for that. tet-e pe repet— scottie nell hughes, for that. let's go legal now on this. i'm tethet— let's go legal now on this. i'm tehet tewh— let's go legal now on this. i'm joined down the— let's go legal now on this. i'm joined down the line from theehtw— joined down the line from phoenix, arizona , by mark phoenix, arizona, by mark hrhewteh— phoenix, arizona, by mark brnovich, who _ phoenix, arizona, by mark brnovich, who was the two term etterhey— brnovich, who was the two term attorney general— brnovich, who was the two term attorney general of that great etete— attorney general of that great etete ehttt— attorney general of that great state until january of this yeeh— state until january of this yeer. merw— state until january of this year. mark, welcome back on the preprem— year. mark, welcome back on the preprem. eeh— year. mark, welcome back on the preprem. ceh t— year. mark, welcome back on the program. can i just— year. mark, welcome back on the program. can i just ask you three— program. can i just ask you the there— program. can i just ask you this? there were- program. can i just ask you this? there were 34 criminal eherpee— this? there were 34 criminal eherpee tert— this? there were 34 criminal charges laid yesterday. it seems to charges laid yesterday. it seems te me— charges laid yesterday. it seems te me thet— charges laid yesterday. it seems to me that basically the problem is

difficult, i must say. it is difficult to see r: i it is difficult to see exactly r: i. it is difficult to see exactly what the— difficult to see exactly what the — difficult to see exactly what the crime is.— difficult to see exactly what the crime is. but mark, an even htpper— the crime is. but mark, an even htpper peeetteh— the crime is. but mark, an even htpper peeetteh .— the crime is. but mark, an even bigger question . and donald bigger question. and donald hemp— bigger question. and donald hemp ehe— bigger question. and donald trump and even more fundamental peeetteh—amertee- trump and even more fundamental question,-america ,- question, i think for america, its constitution,— question, i think for america, its constitution, its society is ehe— its constitution, its society is me yee— its constitution, its society is and you've been— its constitution, its society is and you've been a long term , you and you've been a long term, you thew.— and you've been a long term, you knew tewyer— and you've been a long term, you know, lawyer, prosecutor , know, lawyer, prosecutor, etterhey— know, lawyer, prosecutor, attorney general, does this not mete— attorney general, does this not mete tene— attorney general, does this not mete tehe et— attorney general, does this not make tens of millions of amerteehe— make tens of millions of americans look at your judicial eyetem — americans look at your judicial eyetem ehe— americans look at your judicial system and ask— americans look at your judicial system and ask whether it really werte— system and ask whether it really werte eye— system and ask whether it really works anymore ? _ system and ask whether it really works anymore ? “43?" system and ask whether it really works anymore ? / e�*t: works anymore? yeah, and that's the thing that breaks my heart, nigel, because i think of, you know , more than 200 years of know, more than 200 years of incredible motty are american constitutional system had and what we brought to the world and what we brought to the world and what we brought to the world and what we talked about how important the rule of law is that no person's above the law . that no person's above the law. but at the same time, our system is all based on the law treats everyone equally. that's why lady justice has blindfold . lady justice has a blindfold. and this seems so and to me, this seems so blatantly partisan. it seems so political . it's such a stretch. political. it's such a stretch. and once again, if you take these facts , take out the name these facts, take out the name donald trump, would this case be going forward ? i think no

going forward? i think no self—respecting prosecutor anywhere , republican or anywhere, republican or democrat, would bring this case. and what i'm worried about is this sets a precedent where the united states is going to end up like other third world countries, where we settle our political differences through the criminal system. and so now this the beginning the this is the beginning of the weaponization of justice weaponization of our justice system, is a dangerous, system, which is a dangerous, dangerous precedent . absolutely dangerous precedent. absolutely mark brnovich, you're now our tepet— mark brnovich, you're now our tepet eepte. — mark brnovich, you're now our tepet eepte. we— mark brnovich, you're now our legal eagle. we will come back to legal eagle. we will come back te yee— legal eagle. we will come back te yee ee— legal eagle. we will come back te yee ee thre— legal eagle. we will come back to you as this develops over the et the— to you as this develops over the course of the next— to you as this develops over the course of the next weeks and menthe— course of the next weeks and mehthe. amt— course of the next weeks and months. and thank you for tehhp— months. and thank you for tehhp me— months. and thank you for joining me again here on gb news us joining me again here on gb news ee h— joining me again here on gb news ee th e— joining me again here on gb news ee th e memet— joining me again here on gb news ee th e memet .— joining me again here on gb news us in a moment. it's— joining me again here on gb news us in a moment. it's time for tetthp— us in a moment. it's time for talking points.— us in a moment. it's time for talking points. i'll be joined by termer— talking points. i'll be joined by former jockey grand talking points. i'll be joined by formerjockey grand national by former jockey grand national ttpeter— by former jockey grand national tipster, former— by former jockey grand national tipster, former bbc commentator ttehert— tipster, former bbc commentator richard pitman.— tipster, former bbc commentator richard pitman. see you in a eeepte—

style on and the horse, although i'd got lined up for i'd got him lined up for a stride, felt me relaxed. so he relaxed and he put in a little short step and went sideways and pushed me out of the saddle. and ilanded pushed me out of the saddle. and i landed on my one leg in front of him at probably 35 miles an hour, of him at probably 35 miles an hour , and its star fractured and hour, and its star fractured and it took seven silver screws in it, you know, horrible. but shoulders wrenched out not just fall out, wrenched out. most bones broken. but the probably the potentially worst was concussion. i was a little fat fellow and i used to get concussion out. i'd go and land on my head and they were going to warn me off if it continued, really. so even though it happened so fast past a fall, you were then under the guillotine , almost had time when guillotine, almost had time when you're going out to think, oh , you're going out to think, oh, my head. so you'd roll up in a ball before you hit the ground and then you'd break your collarbone, dislocate the shoulder again and you lost. and you lost the sight of an eye as and you lost the sight of an eye ee wett. — and you lost the sight of an eye

down. usually if a seniorjockey is dictating a pace, the others might listen. but crisp loved jump might listen. but crisp loved jump and galloping and you. so we set off in the inside where the brave men went. the drops were steeper, the turns were shorter, or going around the inside . and he gradually, inside. and he gradually, through quickness of jumping, got his his lead and coming past the stands for the first time 25 lengths in front and that in itself you know i'm used to noise and jockeys shouting and horses exploding when they hit a fence, there was silence . it was fence, there was silence. it was an eerie, eerie feeling . but you an eerie, eerie feeling. but you see, having got him in a rhythm , i didn't want to break the rhythm . um coming second in the rhythm. um coming second in the national famous race acas did you feel you must have felt pleased with the way you'd fidden pleased with the way you'd ridden overall? no otherjockey ridden overall? no other jockey would. i rode a great race. he gave me a great ride until after the last when his his stamina had gone . and you were beaten by
