The UK's uncovered Afghan asylum scheme will "accelerate change" and a "reset" in British politics, it has been claimed.Speaking to GB News, Editor of The Sunday Telegraph Allister Heath predicted that "change is coming" for Westminster following the revelation.FULL STORY HERE.
00:02I think it symbolises everything that's gone wrong with the UK.
00:06It's the scandal of all scandals.
00:08It's where everything has gone wrong and sort of merges into one mega story.
00:12Because, you know, you've got every aspect of what's gone wrong over the past 20 years.
00:15The war in Iraq and Afghanistan, which was a disaster.
00:18Excessive amount of immigration and not enough integration, which was a disaster.
00:22You know, the grooming gang scandal, everything.
00:24It all comes together.
00:25The powers that the state seized during lockdown, the war on free speech.
00:29And it all comes together in this story, which is a major scandal, a major, major cover up and a disgrace, frankly, an absolute disgrace.
00:36Isn't it the case that now there is such a distrust in our political class?
00:43I mean, me personally, I don't see left and right.
00:45I don't even see red and blue Labour and Tories.
00:47I put them all in the same basket as being, and people will say this is strong language, quite treacherous in the way they behave.
00:54To even consider, I know the figure yesterday from the MOD was 850 million.
00:58But to consider at the time spending up to £7 billion in secret of taxpayers' money, airlifting these people into our communities without even informing the British public.
01:09And now, Alistair, by the way, and now that we may have to pay up to £1 billion in compensation to these Afghans.
01:15I mean, do you sense from your own readers that the nation is feeling betrayed by a traitor class?
01:22I wouldn't go that far myself.
01:26I think these politicians are wrong and incompetent, but I wouldn't go further than that.
01:30Do you think it's just incompetence?
01:31No, I think the ideology is also wrong, because I think they don't particularly like nation states.
01:37They're obsessed with human rights law.
01:39They are what I call social democratic universalists.
01:41That is to say, they believe that the British welfare state and the British state has a duty that's roughly equal when it comes to foreign citizens or British citizens,
01:50which is why, you know, they've got this, they're very interested in the duty of care when it comes to, for example, these people that are coming over.
01:57But I think the fundamental issue here is that this is a scandal that engulfs both Labour and the Conservative Party.
02:04And therefore, you know, this whole idea that the two parties are far too close, far too similar, far too in the middle, has been proved to be correct, right?
02:13The Conservatives did this in the first place, and Labour kept it going for a year.
02:17And that's unacceptable.
02:19There was no competition, effectively, between those two political parties, no disagreement.
02:23And I think, you know, it's time for a major reset.
02:27A very large percentage of the population feels alienated by the political system.
02:30They feel that their views are not sufficiently represented.
02:32And when they look at this scandal, they'll think, yes, that's exactly it.
02:36This scandal tells us everything we thought we knew about the political class, but actually it's even worse than that.
02:43But is that comprehensible?
02:47What am I trying to say?
02:48Is that because all of these subsequent governments have been seduced by the idea of a global vision?
02:55So Agenda 2030, which we have signed up to with sustainability goals, at which point by 2030 we may see that migration is, there is no such thing as migration, because we have one planet.
03:07And the nation states will be so sufficiently eroded by 2030 that it just won't matter.
03:12And that actually you can be a climate migrant and you can blame climate change to come and live here.
03:17That is one of the aims of the global institutions.
03:21And isn't the problem that our individual politicians are not strong enough to push back against that?
03:26Well, I think all of that's coming to an end, actually.
03:28I think this crisis will be remembered as one of the moments when that whole ideological edifice started to crumble.
03:34You know, I think clearly you're going to see the emergence of parties, maybe the Conservative Party, maybe Reform, others who are going to be much more strict when it comes to controlling immigration, much less in favour of net zero.
03:49You know, the tectonic plates are shifting.
03:51For example, you have The Economist magazine saying that the asylum system is broken and needs to be completely changed.
03:56You're going to have more and more voices calling for the withdrawal.
03:58I mean, quitting the ECHR is now mainstream on the right.
04:01I mean, no one on the right who's really on the right or on the centre right still believes in DCHR.
04:06And the same is going to be true of various refugee conventions and so on.
04:10There's going to be a major shift, I think.
04:11This shift is taking place.
04:13We don't notice that the shift is coming because we're governed by a Labour Party that's very much of the left, very much, you know, signed up to all these global visions, global left-wing visions.
04:24But change is coming, I think.
04:26And I think this scandal will accelerate that change.
04:28And who can we thank for that?
04:29The change coming, I think social media plays a big part in that, alternative media, and actually newspapers like your own that are managing to stay on the...
04:38I think obviously journalists have exposed the scandals and downsides of this ideology, but also normal people are noticing that it's not working, right?
04:46And when you realise there's a problem, when you see these scandals, when you see that things are, you know, the price of energy is spiraling out of control,
04:52there's going to be energy rationing, there's too much crime, all that kind of thing, it makes you question the dominant ideology.
04:59Right.
04:59Right.
04:59Right.
04:59Right.
04:59Right.
04:59That could say it does research has to do everything, right?
