“This Will Never Ever Work” | Britain’s Illegal Immigration ‘Worsens’ Under Keir Starmer’s Rule

We say good morning to the man who should be running our borders, international border expert, he told me to say that, Henry Belton, good morning. Right, listen HB, we've only got five minutes, I'm joking. Honestly, this one-in-one-out, only 94 migrants have been removed under the treaty, whilst 57 have been brought to the UK legally in the same scheme. 2,121 in the last four days and another one who was sent off has come back. I mean, this is a joke, man, the whole thing's a joke. It would be funny if it wasn't actually happening. Look, it was never, ever going to be effective, Jeremy. I think we talked about that. This is just simply the British government trying to avoid doing something decisive by making people think that they are putting effort into something. This would never, ever work. It was never, ever going to be on the scale that would provide a deterrent to people crossing the channel. And indeed, you know, there is already a sort of, a growth of organised criminal activity around this, trying to present a situation where actually the people who, you know, to create a situation where people then get sent back to the UK or in return for people coming this way, so somebody comes here... I mean, you're the expert and even you can't make it sound like sense. All I know is, is that some weeks ago, a bloke who was a criminal was deported. I'm not having a go at you, right, at all. In a million years, I'll give you the job tomorrow. He disappeared, then he comes back and we gave him, this is what really wound me up, HB, right? We gave him 500 quid to finally do one, which sends a very strong message. Why don't you keep breaking in and keep making 500 quid a time? Everything is broken, Jeremy, and the reason for that, I think you will find, I haven't been able to dig into it sufficiently, but I'm absolutely certain that the people who were escorting this individual were not law enforcement personnel. They did not have legal, sort of, law enforcement powers. Were they from Wandsworth prison, were they? Same sort of theory. No, I think these were outsourced security company. Now, that's not their fault, but they don't have the same powers as police officers and immigration enforcement. So when they get to deal with this, what are they supposed to do when they've got this individual who then resists? They can't use force. So what I think you'll find they've done is they've said to the guy, look, we'll give you 500 quid if you go quietly, and he's done it. And I think you'll find it's something of that ilk that's happened here. But the whole system, none of this should be outsourced, none of it. A lot of our prisons are outsourced, Wandsworth is not. But look, until, Jeremy, we've got a government, whatever persuasion politically it is, that actually decides that it is going to lock horns with this problem decisively, and has the courage to do so, and that until that happens, we're only going to see this window dressing type of activity that actually is meaningless. You know, it's presented to the British public, we've got a new strategy, we've got a new plan, we've agreed this with the French or whoever. All sounds good, a few headlines, you get a bit of a pause on the criticism, and it has no effect. Particularly when you've got a Labour party that is, a lot of its MPs and councillors and so on, are actually part of the movement that wants us to have open borders and welcome these people in with open arms. You know, it is against their DNA to be effective on this. Anybody who does get into power should employ you. We haven't got time to go perhaps the ideas we've heard from the Tories about Rwanda, we've talked about smashing the gangs. You've told me before, it's really very simple. Most of all is the will. There's no doubt the British people, Henry, have a will to get this situation changed. I think it's going to be the number one issue at the next election. We appreciate your time. Loving the flag, a good man.
