00:00We're holding our head in our hands here. 17,000. We've got some really super weather now in the next few days.
00:05The Home Secretary apparently discovered only very recently that if it's good, fine weather, we get more migrant crossings.
00:12Well, the totemate since the Labour government was elected is now over 40,000.
00:18To put it in context, your viewers and listeners, that's the equivalent of filling Stamford Bridge football stadium.
00:24And we've just forecast today that by this time next year, the equivalent of Wembley Stadium will have arrived illegally over the channel since the general election.
00:36So just think about that. Wembley Stadium within 12 months of illegal migrants filling up our hotels, filling up our housing.
00:45And as we're now learning, based on the Baroness Casey review, regrettably, are involved in some hideous and heinous crimes that authorities want to deny and cover up.
00:59Yeah, she did say, didn't she, in that report, Richard, that a disproportionate number were foreign nationals and asylum seekers.
01:04So the migrants that are crossing the channel today could be about when they get here, could be on the verge of creating serious crime.
01:13Indeed, I was the person who exposed the Albanians, who were coming over as part of criminal gangs to get involved in drug dealing and money laundering under the guise of barbershops,
01:26which I was lambasted at the time for saying, but now actually has turned out to be completely true.
01:32So, you know, we have to talk about these difficult things.
01:35We have to be honest and we have to have the data and the data reveals some very, very bad things,
01:41which is that some very bad people are coming across the English Channel, pretending to be coming from a war zone when actually they've got very bad, ill intent.
01:51And I think the British people, I think the anger is growing rapidly.
01:56I don't know whether you've seen the work that Patrick Christie's has been doing on his show, Richard,
01:59but he has literally in his team been getting in touch with people via social media, tracking them down.
02:05It makes it look easy.
02:06Why are our authorities just not doing that?
02:09Because they're incompetent muppets, frankly.
02:12And the idea that we're sending hundreds of millions of pounds to the French gendarmerie in order to give them photography lessons,
02:19because they don't seem to be doing anything else than just photographing these boats leaving.
02:23I just repeat, because I have actually read the law.
02:26I understand the law.
02:27The French have a legal obligation under the 1982 UN Convention of the Law at Sea to pick up these boats and take them back to France.
02:35They're failing in that obligation.
02:37We're entitled to do the same and take them back.
02:39The Belgians have done it.
