00:00A lot of you getting in touch this morning about this state visit with Emmanuel Macron.

00:04None of you are happy about it, I can't lie.

00:07Katie says, the king is weak, weak, weak.

00:10He's part of the reason this awful government is running amok.

00:12Irregular migration, she says.

00:14Disgraceful. Our beloved queen must be spinning in her grave

00:16by having such a spineless lefty as an heir.

00:18Well, there's your knighthood gone, Katie.

00:22I don't think that's entirely fair because, frankly,

00:24these speeches are written for monarchs by their ministers.

00:28Oh, come on.

00:28Now, he could argue and say, I want it to be illegal,

00:32or have no reference to it at all.

00:34But that's the point of being weak, surely.

00:36Yeah.

00:36Even if you were king, well, maybe you would,

00:40but if I was king and somebody gave me words to read out

00:43and I didn't want to, I wouldn't do it.

00:44No. Well, irregular is just a joke.

00:46And also, I can't stand about this government doing this.

00:50They take us for mugs.

00:52Who do they think's thawed by it by saying irregular migration?

00:55And once or twice it's crept in here.

00:59It repeatedly...

01:00Because if you say it often enough, it's the old Blair mantra.

01:04If you say it often enough, people believe it.

01:06So you've got to be really wary.

01:08So we're not using that expression, irregular migration,

01:11because it's illegal.

01:12Well, the thing is, irregular migration

01:15and the cost of that to the country

01:17repeatedly comes up as the most concerning issue of the day.

01:21Along with the cost of living crisis.

01:23Because the two sit side by side.

01:26If we didn't have a cost of living crisis,

01:27we might feel we could be more generous

01:29with people coming to live here,

01:30because we are a generous country.

01:32But because we can't afford anything

01:34and because we can't get to see a doctor or a dentist...

01:37Yeah, and disability benefits, got to cut them,

01:38but we can find £4 billion a year to put migrants in hotels.

01:42Special schools are going to have to cut back the...

01:45..and find £4 billion a year for the migrants.

01:48It really sticks in people's crawl.

01:50There's no sense of justice.

01:51Well, we're moving towards a one-world government, Andrew.

01:53It's a one-world planet where the nation-state won't matter

01:55and it will all be blamed on climate change

01:57and we will all be told...

01:59It's not your country.

02:00You just happen to live there.

02:01You don't have a right to it.

02:02It's just...

02:03This is a movement of travel.

02:05I was quite happy, actually, to hear Macron say

02:07long live France and long live the UK.

02:10Yeah, damn right.

02:11Words are cheap.

02:12Well, they are.

02:14Mary says...

02:15And then they all got up and did a standing ovation.

02:18Did they do the standing ovation in French?

02:22Actually, no, he did his...

02:23No, because the speech at the Windsor, he did in French.

02:27Yeah, I think at the end, didn't he, he said long live.

02:29Yeah.

02:30If I broke into class, would I be classed as irregular...

02:32If I was there at that dinner, you know what I would have done

02:34when everybody else stood up.

02:35I would have firmly stayed in my seat.

02:37Well, I hope you would.

02:39Right.

02:40In a bid to serve off.

02:40How can you do the standing ovation

02:41in something you didn't understand a word of?
