00:00Yeah, thank you very much. Look, we've been doing a whole show from here just to expose the actual extremity of the problem and I'm going to ask you to follow me inside here. So we are just outside the Calais port and what we've got is a disused warehouse that, if you follow me inside here, is absolutely full of migrant tents, illegal migrant tents.
00:21This is a room full of people from Sudan. I've been speaking to a lot of them. They say that they are desperate to come to Britain. Now what we're looking at here is a group of people who can't really afford the continual boat journeys. So this is near a lorry port in Sudan, sorry, in Calais, full of people from Sudan.
00:41And the reason that they're here is because you don't have to pay anything to try to climb into the back of a lorry. If we walk through, I've never seen anything quite like this in my life. It's like a patchwork quilt of people just living here permanently and this is the reality of the situation.
00:58Now, I just want everyone at home to understand that every single person in this room is absolutely desperate to come to Britain. The only reason they are here is to try to come to Britain.
01:11Now, I'm going to walk outside a bit now. Hello, how are you? Are you okay? Good to see you. And you're from Sudan? Yeah, from Sudan.
01:18And you want to come to Britain? England? England? Yeah, we're going to England. You're going to England? Yeah. Why? Good life? Good life, yeah.
01:27Okay. Alright, well, there we go. We are going to be doing a show from 9 till 11pm. I've got a lot of this. I've got a huge amount of other content as well. And I will see you at 9pm for my show. You're not going to want to miss this.
