00:00Yeah, I mean, I have sympathy with migrants, obviously, because they are homeless and they're coming from the third world countries.

00:05They already have problems in their own countries.

00:07So, but, apart from that, I also have sympathy towards the people of this country as well,

00:12because the government, they are giving them luxury hotels to stay there.

00:28I recognize that all people's circumstances in life are very difficult at the moment.

00:34Financially, I don't remember a time in my life when things have been more difficult than this.

00:39And I feel that without, like, a huge knowledge of alternatives in terms of where people claiming asylum could be housed at the moment,
