00:00The government, it's all about the dinghy crossings, according to the Home Secretary.

00:05It's about the weather. Who'd have thought it now to?

00:07Well, that's the point. For some reason, the Tory party are getting really sort of up in arms about this.

00:15But what the government are doing is collecting data about the weather to match with the number of people who cross.

00:22It's obvious, isn't it?

00:24Well, no, they're collecting data. When it's not windy, they're crossing greater numbers.

00:28So what they want to do is they are just collecting the data to see what sort of weather...

00:33As they should buy a wind machine.

00:35I was just going to say, why don't they put a great big fan at the coast and just blow them all back?

00:40I think Saji Patel thought about that and they decided that wouldn't have worked.

00:44Nigel.

00:45But isn't it quite a good idea just to simply have the data...

00:48No, it's ridiculous. It just shows how incompetent and hopeless they are.

00:51We're in a world where they won't tell us who's committing violent sexual crime,

00:56but they will tell us about the weather and boat crossings

00:59because they want to discuss that in order to find an excuse for why we are going to hit record numbers this year.

01:06And do you know what? It's irrelevant because what's happening is the boats are bigger,

01:10they've got more people on them, and all of the pools that are pulling people here continue.

01:16The hotel rooms, the telephones, the driving lessons, the money, everything.

01:21Until we stop all of that, their boats are going to come whether the sun shines or not.

01:26Look, Doc, I take all that point. That's all fine.

01:29But the point here is that it seems to be it's a simple data-collecting exercise.

01:35What sort of weather encourages more people?

01:38Nigel, you don't need a Home Secretary to do data collecting.

01:42We know when it's not very windy, they cross in numbers.

01:45Of course we do.

01:45You look at the city, they'll be coming over today.

01:47It's nice and calm and sunny, like it was on Saturday, a load of people cross.

01:51Of course we do.

01:52They're fiddling while road-burning.

01:53All you do is correlating it.

01:55Can't they get on with smashing the gangs?
