Recently we noticed that Nigel Farage is subscribed to our channel, so we thought it would be friendly of us to help his channel out. So in this video, we take a look at some of Farage’s recent content and assess the core claims he’s making; that migrants are being housed in four-star hotels and that there are more illegal crossings into the UK than ever.

Nigel Farage said Andy Burnham’s comments about potentially rejoining the EU had given him “the biggest boost in [his] career”. We look at why — even if it seems counter-intuitive — another Brexit debate could actually hurt Farage.

Before the Brexit referendum, a whole bunch of MPs explained to Britain how the economy would collapse post-Brexit. While Brexit hasn’t yet happened, some did say that the destruction would take place immediately after the vote; which didn’t exactly happen as expected. So in this video, we explain what’s happened and why the economy hasn’t done too badly in the end.

The government should be charged with embezzling British taxpayers money for paying hotels for housing these bogus migrants who have invaded the UK illegally on dinghies back of lorries etc .Action needs to happen now to stop these illegals locals are becoming more and more furious that their government they voted for have done NOTHING to find a solution.

If this was a temporary measure during covid why are more and more hotels being added to the list even after covid restrictions have been removed and hotels can be booked with no issue? This system was also already being used before covid existed.
I was near the Strathmore hotel in Morecambe the other day and this has recently been turned in to a home for immigrants, you say in the video it's families etc, I saw around 30-40 residents of the Strathmore and they were all young men, not one one woman or child In site. 3 of the men were "playing" on one of the parks despite being (at a guess) In their mid 20's whilst a mother with her kids was looking very uncomfortable. There also seemed to be no mention on this video of the cases of harassment regarding young girls (as young as 12) by these men from these hotels in certain areas…

These hotels (regardless of their star rating) are still being used for illegal/irregular migrants because there is very little accommodation available in the wider community especially in those parts of the country where properties are scarce and/or extremely expensive. As a result, these hotels and hotel chains (some of which are foreign-owned investment assets) have also been receiving a very steady income from the tax payer during what was otherwise a very lean time for many British businesses. Once somebody without identification documentation enters British territorial waters, there is currently no way, and in fact never really has been any guaranteed way (brexit voters take note) to move that person against their will to another country without the formal agreement of the receiving country. Britain is one of the few countries in Europe which does not impose a legal requirement to carry ID cards. The individual members of the European Union maintain quite a varied or even inconsistent response towards illegal/irregular migrants. The Mediterranean countries are trying ever harder to restrict sea routes; several Schengen countries including France, Germany, Austria and those of Scandinavia have reintroduced border controls; Poland, Hungary, Lithuania and (surprisingly) Denmark all operate extremely restrictive practices all of which fall well outside the spirit of the EU's overall guidance on migration policies. The original authors of international migration policies back in the '50s could never have foreseen the development of what are now permanent large scale migratory movements into Europe. Britain is certainly not alone in Europe in grappling with what continues to be a very contentious and divisive issue.
