00:03
When Britain was Britain, I'm 90.
00:10
And I remember when Britain was Britain.
00:13
We didn't have immigrants then.
00:16
And I think if they didn't spend so much money on immigrants,
00:20
they'd be able to look after the people who are working.
00:24
Because we've got an awful lot of them.
00:27
I don't agree with immigration at all.
00:29
I totally agree with Robert Jenrick's message.
00:31
Yeah, he's right.
00:32
We do have too many immigrants that come in and don't
00:34
contribute enough to the country.
00:38
Yeah.
00:39
We agree that it seriously needs looking at.
00:49
And they need to sort it out, personally speaking.
00:54
They're quite a drain on the resources of the country
00:57
and how much we have to pay for illegal immigrants,
01:02
putting them up, and everything to do with that.
01:06
Yeah, I do.
01:07
There's a lot of immigration.
01:09
And there's not enough work for our people, is there?
01:12
That's the old trouble.
01:13
Yeah.
01:15
I agree with it in a way.
01:18
But we should still reduce immigration.
01:20
Not necessarily.
01:25
I think immigration's fine as long as it's controlled
01:29
and we're letting in the people who we need.
01:33
I have to say that I don't agree with the message on the video.
01:35
Because a lot of these jobs that he was referencing,
01:38
they have a need and they need to be filled.
01:41
So immigrants do tend to do these jobs.
01:44
And as an immigrant myself, I'm very, very proud of the fact
01:49
that this country's welcomed me.
01:51
And I'm really grateful as well.
01:54
So in short, I think Jenrick's seen the writing on the wall.
01:59
There is an election coming up.
02:00
He was aware of this when he resigned from the position.
02:04
And I think it's just a strategic move on his part.
