u. k. from your perspective, do you think that's the case? yes, i believe that there's, there's a huge coincidence that last week, only the illegal migration bill was introduced and following that, immediately this controversy has ensued. so i think that there's a, there's a political agenda behind all of this. and we've seen through, out throughout history that when it comes to general alexa, a general that actions that there's a hype about certain people to appeal to a certain dynamic. and what better way to cause controversy by targeting the vulnerable groups of individuals in our society, which is the asylum seekers. so i do think that there is a political agenda behind this because otherwise, why would there be a political condemnation on gary and a legal and political perspective understand why and the other guys have explained it very well. so yes, because there are analysts who say that the government asylum policies are not going to deter people from trying to get to the u. k. from your

u. k. from your vantage point, will these policy policies actually accomplish what the government wants? will it in any way, curb migration? well, i mean we have to look back and national importers act, which was only introduced last year, which was going to send you the quote. and i asked myself, marty, and my team and a, a, a reminder that you cation, which was the, one of the main policy points that they were pushing to reduce the number of a small boat passing through the english channel. and we've seen that it hasn't had any positive effect. in fact, this had the opposite effect to what, what it was a for intended for because in 2020, there was, there were only 8000 small, but crossings across english channel in 2021. that was over 25000 and last year was over 45000. and this year as predict is going to be around $60000.00 or more asylum seekers. so you can see that it hasn't had the effect that they wish to have, which was a deterrent effect. and i personally don't believe that it's, it's

talk about from his perspective of the right wing national press in, in the u. k. is pushing a certain narrative and there are growing number of voices saying that this controversy has been a distraction from the real discussion that needs to happen about asylum plans in the u. k. are from your perspective, do you think that's the case? yes, i believe that there's, there's a huge considers that last week, only the legal migration bill was introduced and following that, immediately this controversy hasn't renewed. so i think there's a, there's a political agenda behind all of this. and we've seen through, out throughout history that when it comes to the general, the leg, i see general elections that there's a hype about certain people to appeal to a certain dynamic. and what better way to cause controversy by targeting the vulnerable groups of individuals in our society, which is the asylum seekers. so i do think that there is a political agenda behind this because otherwise, why would there be a political condemnation on gary then and from a legal and political pers
