Desperate Tories Target Foreign Workers

- The British government seems determined to do everything possible to stop foreigners from coming to the U.K. Presumably this is in an attempt to pander to the #dailyexpress and #dailymail readers who backed #brexit and who favour tougher restrictions on foreigners coming to the UK
The latest immigration regulations make it all but impossible for any unskilled worker to come to work in the UK. For skilled workers there are considerable hurdles to overcome.
In response to higher than expected and record immigration from non-EU countries following Brexit the government has now announced that in future those wishing to work in the UK will not be allowed to bring their dependants. This will almost certainly result in a significant reduction in those coming and will further add to the UK's woes.
There are no longer any legal routes for #asylumseekers to come to the UK or to apply for asylum. There are tens of thousands waiting for their applications to be processed. They are being paid around £6 per day for subsistence whilst just one of the firms providing accommodation made a profit of £62 million last year.
Preventing workers from coming to the UK and failing to process asylum applications from those who have arrived from across the Channel, having no other route to the UK, is stupid and inefficient and will only damage the UK economy more.
What a sick country we have become. Still, we have our mourning black passports. Thanks once again Michael! Bravo
I was one of these foreigners, managing a business in the U.K., paid my taxes there.
Left in 2016 and so glad I did.
Well done. I hope you have a better life now.

@@antonioguerreiro1615 20223? Hope leaving the UK has improved your head for figures.
@@QuoPaperPlane anything more to say ??? bit childish and silly comments ?? no ?? .now that you ask, leaving the UK has improved my health and well being 100 fold
@@antonioguerreiro1615 Why did you stay so long if it was so bad?
Well Michael it's like a slow creep to fascist Britain - what a thought
I know a lot of Polish people that I used to work with have left because the money is better in Poland.
Did you mean much better along with much higher living standards?
It would be, mass immigration has driven down labour costs in the UK, and the subsequent loss of younger workforce and population has driven up wages and availability of affordable housing in the country of origin. Funny that! (Also, one of the most homogeneous populations in Poland...but that doesn't suit your narrative).@@herrglotzenschnitzengruber1510
I think the main reason for leaving was that the EU were going to stop people like Sunak from stashing their money away tax free in the Cayman Islands and the like. Otherwise why would people like Mogg work and join the commons for a measly MP salary? Maybe I am being cynical.
Not cynical, factual. Funny how Mogg’s financial company moved to Ireland to remain in the EU with all its benefits of ease of trade as soon as Brexit happened. He wasn’t going to lose out to Brexit. Irish passport too, no doubt. The ordinary people’s standard of living has been sacrificed at the altar of the uber-rich and their greed.
Thank you for highlighting what an expensive and unnecessarily stressful process immigration has become and how counter productive the whole process is for everyone.
The government thinks we are stupid
yes.
..Well, it's because theyTHINK that they had the best education money can buy, which, evidently, was not necessarily money well spent. Maybe they just don't have the brain cells to use
the knowledge. I think the growing number of narcissists in society really negates any educational advantages that they think they may have. A Parliament full of narcissists... people who are not, and can not, ever be 'team players'? It looks a bit like that at times.. Discuss!
Thank Michael, Another short but erudite summary of our ridiculous view of foreign workers, particularly from the Eastern countries in Europe. It is many years since I retitled at 66 years old but during the latter years of my Woking life, I inspected the working sites employing many Europeans. Initially most had language difficulties but in a very short time they were among the most hard working and conscientious people in the industry. Thanks to Brexit and our very stupid politicians we have lost many of our valuable assets.
I worked in quite a few countries and always enjoyed it, taking an interest in the local environment and consequently having a good time with the local people. Quite a few of my colleagues 'didnt like them bleeding foreigners ' and had a miserable time of it. I think this is the root of the problem.
I think the foreign workers vendetta is just a tool in the box to give people who are struggling with everything, something or someone to blame, unfortunately it works with them, thanks for video Michael, your work is always appreciated 👍
Leftie deranged nonsense
Thanks Martin 😊
To ignore possible downsides of immigration is folly. It's silly that anyone saying "you know what we don't really need a extra million people here" gets instantly branded as a racist
Sheer madness from the Tories. Your polemic is spot on, Mr Lambert. Let's hope many more people listen to you and take heed. 🎉😊
Thank you 😊
Amazing that the Tories are so determined to keep out paying customers, but then as Bozo said F**k business.
It's sad and very difficult. Actually, I am now Anglo-Australuan, I avoid the Telegraph in both countries too. Poisonous filth, in my humble opinion. I Waa in the UK recently, and had a blazing row with my sister, fir which I felt very flat about the next day. We made, and that's very important. When someone's thinking is so flawed, it can be exasperating. Brexit broke my heart, and my parents and my sister voted for it. I don't see a place for myself in post Brexit Britain. Given I'm a nurse, I also just don't have tge strength to watch and experience it being destroyed. Thank goodness my former NHS colleagues are stronger than me.
I'm Jewish and was born here. Only 3 of my four grandparents were, and none of my great-grandparents, it's making me feel very uncomfortably and unwelcome.
"I'm Jewish"...Maybe stop identifying as a non-native sect first and foremost and you will be more accepted. I would wager that the other imported sect that states in their holey (deliberate) book that the end of days will come when your sect are defeated by theirs, are the ones most likely to make you unwelcome. I hope things turn around for you, but it isn't looking promising.
Michael, thank you for highlighting the inhumane and callous injustice that is the hallmark of this tory government
There is a court case on immigration currently running in Ireland, where defence counsel is arguing that the UK is not a safe 3rd country, because of the risk of subsequent transfer to Rwanda.
I doubt that the court will uphold it, but things are such that it is now not an unconscionable argument to make.
Oh well, now there is absolutely no reason to visit the UK ever again. Why would you? It is funny to see, Americans have the same mind-set, another country I see as a 'no go area'.
Do you think the present government heard that Michael Flanders and Donald Swann song which went, "The English, the English, the English are best, I.wouldn't give tuppence for all of the rest", and took it seriously?
Good morning, Michael. Good morning, commentators.
Good morning 😊
Good morning 😊
Buenos dias, mi amigo🤘🇬🇧🇪🇸🇪🇺🤘😁😁😁🖐

Wise words Michael...........................
"Bloody furriners! Coming 'ere and taking the jobs we don't want. How dare they!"
There is an element of truth in that though. Imo we don't need immigration levels as high as we have right now. Utterly unnecessary
Thank you Michael.
The rich people that hang around the Tory Party resent paying taxes to fund services for the great unwashed. Of course, they don't - they use all the tax loopholes going to avoid it - but that doesn't stop them thinking that people just need to work harder and stop being so lazy. I mean for heaven's sake, if you are struggling with your finances why don't you just sell off one of your second homes?
One way to reduce Government spending would be to reduce the pension bill. IDS and others have already called for the state pension age to be raised to 75. What better justification could there be for such a move if they can convince the country that we don't need foreign workers, we just need to work harder ourselves. They'll dress it up as liberating people from the shackles of the state. People should be careful what they wish for.
There are more great unwashed than washed. So what do you do with that, Mr. Socialist fantasist!!!
Sunak made his money gambling against the pound. What a magnificent man of integrity and loyalty we have as PM.
Proof, please
It's all in the public domain and has been reiterated in numerous media outlets. It was when he was working in hedge funds (surprise surprise)

Normally I would go to town on the tories but I’m taking day off from them. Sick of the sight of them sick of the sight of hearing what toxicity they spout out so I’m letting my good friend Michael lambert tell it like it is😊.
Keep going michael. Great work
Thanks 😊
1. Fourteen years, and the Tories have nothing left to offer the people, but fear, division and culture war.
2. Brexit was always about three things: immigration, immigration and immigration. The voters were persuaded that a vote for Brexit would result in fewer brown faces on our streets.
3. Legal migration, NAO figures show, make a net contribution to our economy, with a dwindling indigenous population, who do we think are going to pay for our pensions, going forward?
4. We are not poor because other poor people came to our country, we are poor because we have been exploited by the rich.
Anybody notice how Trumpy and GOP-like the UK Conservative Party has become...?
I would argue that legal immigration does NOT benefit us on the whole. I think you are just regurgitating neo liberal spin there
@@keithparker1346 not an opinion, National Audit Office figures, but I’m sure you won’t let facts interfere with your deeply entrenched views.
@@terrythomas3755 so you somehow believe adding people to our population somehow does not have any downsides?
Tell that to the nurse, doctor, surgeon, etc who will probably save your or your loved ones life.
So the next time you need medical help, please tell them as they are not contributing anything to Britain, you would rather have a "native" treating you.
A great distraction from their Corruption.
Politicians only "see" two types of people. Enemies and tools.
When I look at politicians, I only see enemies & “Tools” too.
An awful lot of politicians are also "Tools"😏😏
The self-destructive policies was going to come when their imaginary enemies weren't defeated.
Thanks for another great analysis of the pitiful and disastrous state post brexshit UK's
Thank you for telling the truth even though many do not like to hear it.
Quite Michael, the salient point being that, if we go back far enough, we _all_ have roots elsewhere. My father was born in Argentina, to an English father and an Italian mother. My mother's family are descended, like many in the West Country, from Dutch people who moved here several hundred years ago to help with land reclamation from the River Severn!
Thank you Michael for this excellent post.
I must say i am not at all surprised about a certain mentality existing in the UK.
I must say my personal experience of living here as a foreigner has been mostly good.
The press have a lot to do with people way of thinking.
The feeble minded tend to read those papers and believe their rants.
Your view of migration Michael is good and civilised.
The UK is short of workers and it is shooting itself in both feet....
Thank you Michael as always xx
Thank you Isabelle 😊
Mr Lambert I spent 38 years in the UK. In general those years where amazing, however I am Portuguese and will never ever change that fact. I spent the majority of those years as a top rate of tax payer, no issue BUT THEN everything went haywire, it got so phytologically bad I HAD to leave ( i have indefinite right to remain !!) and will never return.....and am friends with a few EU Citizens who have done the same. Brexit for us, all the hate etc was traumatic, .here in Portugal we also have a small cadre of " Headbangers" on the whole they are laughed at BUT with our recent history of ultra right wing fascists we MUST stay alert. I do not have any bad feelings towards ppl who voted leave BUT I LOATH BREXITEERS who have destroyed the UK for their own selfish reasons .........people like Aaron Banks rees mogg, that lying turd Johnson et all........the only thing I can do is keep them at bay here in Portugal .....I will never ever set foot in the UK Again AND I WAS NEVER EVER THE CAUSE OF THE UK'S PROBLEMS ..all the best. Irony OF IRONIES I come home to a ville of 7000......723 British immigrants !! and they are welcome !! ALL THE VERY BEST TO THE VAST MAJORITY OF DECENT BRITS !!
Thank you for this Antonio - 😊
@@MichaelLambert1 I really admire your courage, Best of all that is decent .Best of British and true Patriotism
As a british person who lived and worked in Greece, Germany and France for over 15 years and am still incredibly grateful for the kindness I was shown, please allow me to apologise sincerely for the appalling behaviour of many of my countrymen and our ghastly politicians. I was hoping to emigrate to Greece (a country I absolutely love) or possibly France but my freedom to live and work in the EU. I will never be able to forgive nor forget what each and every brexiteer has done.
If anything good is to come out of this utter catastrophe it will be that the EU 27bcan see how stupid and damaging brexit has been and it will strengthen the EU
@@PurityVendetta you have NOTHING TO APOLOGISE TO ME FOR !! trust me I AM INDEED AHNGRY with what happened and how the UK has been trashed!! BUT I try to calm my anger, and bear no ill feeling to Britain, BUT like I said loath Brexiteers. Indeed the EU has come out stronger more united, you can feel it day to day, and long may it continue. I wish all decent Brits all the absolute best, a very large part of me stayed in the UK
@@antonioguerreiro1615 Thank you Antonio. It means a lot that you recognise we aren't all xenophobic idiots. I needed a washing machine a few years ago and answered an advert. It was a lovely Polish woman who told me she was leaving because she was worried for her kids due to the hatred. It broke my heart and she was nearly in tears.
Wishing you all the very best.
I makes it more difficult for foreigners to come to the UK for a holiday. A few years ago, my secretary in Siemens Bangkok wanted a tourist visa so she could go and see her sister in England. I took her to the British Embassy and I was asked if I was the her sponsor, which I was not. I was very coldly told to wait outside whilst my secretary was given the third degree; was she the owner of her house, what was her bank balance etc.
She was given a 2 page letter explaining why she couldn't get a tourist visa. One of the reasons given was that she wanted to move permanently to the UK and there was a hint of what she wanted to do for work when she got there as she was quite attractive.
She was getting a good salary in Bangkok working for a major German company. She had been my secretary for 10 years and had no intention of going to the UK to claim asylum. This was a typical story of the British embassy and it was the decision of a youngish women who was only a No 3 in Bangkok.
Nowadays, there's no chance. I can't even get a visa for my Thai wife.
Appalling. As my wife said, 'Who the hell would want to come to the UK...apart from the desperate?!"
One reason I now live in Germany was that 20 years ago I couldn't get a UK visa for my Japanese wife.
The UK immigration service did us a favour there.
@@Korschtal That was 20 years ago. My German friend who is a doctor had difficulties getting a visa for his Columbian wife. Needless to say, he pays a lot of taxes and isn't too pleased to see immigrants on every street corner.
I'm not against immigrants per se but I'm very angry that I would never bring my Thai wife to the UK and I was forced to sell my house and live overseas,
@@thevanthatrocked "That was 20 years ago"
Yes, and the policy has become stricter since then.
In my case it was the best thing that could happen; my kids have better education and employment opportunities and never experienced racism despite being clearly non-European.
Good job Michael!
Michael is part of my Saturday routine.

Could it be that foreigners are tolerated as long as they are the right "sort" of foreigners ? Of course that would be a whole new subject. ;) ....Thanks Micheal.
The more the population of England goes up, the more dependent it becomes on imported food and energy, as well as more prone to both flooding and drought.
Another great summary of the madness . Just employ more staff to process the asylum seekers ,and save money,what would the daily mail and express do then ,oh I know keep kicking Prince Harry.
Spain? Half a million retired to France let alone those in all the other countries of the EU.....the forgotten people.
Not to mention those of us who migrated to work in the EU and have families here.
I really hate Martians because they come from a different planet.
As far as students are concerned, from 2025 onwards, English diplomas will no longer be recognized by the EU, so whether you have a mechanic's diploma or whether you graduated from an English university, that piece of paper will be worth as much as toilet paper from 2025 onwards. I don't think many students from the EU will continue to study in the UK
I keep hoping the UK will return to sensible intelligent governance and a better system soon. I'd like to spend some time there.
My Edinburgh cousin told my Australian daughter "don't come to the UK, go to the Continent, like Berlin instead".
I was pleasantly surprised that the UK was able to recruit around 200,000 nurses from abroad within a year. We would be happy if this number of hospital nurses came to Germany as we are desperately looking for nursing staff here. The biggest obstacle above all is the language barrier.
@@jimmagspanton669Yes, there were around 700,000 net migrations in 2023, including 300,000 students, 200,000 nursing staff, 100,000 refugees from Hong Kong/Ukraine, 40,000 refugees who came across the Channel, the rest others.
It's a matter of colonial legacy
200,000 "potential care workers" to be exact. This included 68,000 "qualified nurses" of the others permitted entry who knows how many are actually employed in care homes etc. Also over 4,300 British nurses left to work abroad in 2022(NO figures yet for 2023) as soon as they had done their extended training period.
We need Michael to be the government adviser to the PM
Fear of “Foreigners” starts with people from far away and different and ends up with fear of people from the other side of town . It’s totally irrational and Brexit gave it legitimacy. Exploiting fears rather than dealing with them has been the bread and butter of certain politicians. With Brexit it worked.
What these clowns did not know is that many EU citizens would go home regularly to visit family etc as cheap, fast European travel facilitate this.
Plus their level of english is much higher and of course a similar thread of culture is shared.
Michael you are truly one in a million. You should consider doing stand up. I was in touch a month or two ago and have huge respect for you. Would be great to have a chat but can't work out how. Keep on Michael, you really do provide a service - there are few enough laughs in my life. David.

It should come as no surprise to anyone that the word "foreigner" never appears as a legal term in any legislation, convention or treaty. The closest one gets to this term is the now archaic phrase "foreign national" in some domestic legislation - denoting a person with an established nationality and citizenship within a jurisdiction other than the one in which that law applies.
However this term can only be used very selectively - its failure to describe or address the many legal nuances involved in "nationality" (are they "naturalized" citizens, is their citizenship revoked, compromised or annulled by circumstances beyond their control etc?) renders even this term rather redundant in any legislation attempting to address immigration control and completely useless in any legislation drafted in compliance with a country's obligations under the 1951 Convention on Refugees as well as those other related conventions and treaties extending rights to individuals when crossing any internationally recognized border.
When the word "foreigner" is used colloquially in general public discourse within any country therefore it is never a good sign - it not only reveals a public generally ignorant of international law but one that is more likely than not to be fundamentally xenophobic in outlook. When that same public discourse repeatedly fails to acknowledge the very real distinction between "migrant", "refugee" and "asylum seeker", let alone the three very distinct sets of legal responsibilities attached to each of these internationally established legal categories, it simply confirms that both the ignorance and the xenophobia within that society is reflected in that country's political establishment too. It is a society whose own government has not only failed to educate its public but has actively promoted both of these heinous traits for its own purposes.
The UN issued a very clear warning to the UK within the last year that it is now falling very much within the collection of countries which both the UNHCR and the IOM recognize as failing to fulfill their commitments with regard to migration. This was hardly reported within the UK. That which was not reported at all was that this assessment placed the UK within "Category B" - those countries which are intentionally failing in this respect and actively drafting domestic legislation guaranteed to make them fail even more in the future. A feature of "Category B" countries is the measurable ignorance of their populations as evidenced by public discourse - taken to be a sign that their governments are ideologically driven to persuade their populations to disregard international law completely.
The much used term "British exceptionalism" is not therefore some mere epithet arbitrarily and subjectively applied to a people taught to take pride in their contrariness. It is very much a description of a society on a fast-track to pariah status in terms of international law, standing and perception abroad. And every time you hear a Briton employ the word "foreigner" when attempting to address issues such as migration it is simply yet another nail in the coffin of whatever international status it once enjoyed.
And probably the worst part of all this? The same ignorance means that most within that society fail even to recognize the path they have taken, let alone how far down that path they have already ventured. Spoiler alert - the destination of that path is not a place you really want to end up at.
Great vid again thanks.
Thanks 😊
So right as usual Michael the funny thing is quite a few of our MP'S including our PM are noticeable of a different origin???
Indians Pakistanis Africans fast track in? Perish the thorn
If anything good is to come out of the brexit catastrophe I hope it is that the EU becomes much stronger after watching the willful and destructive effect on the uk. The uk will never recover from it's self inflicted damage and the only thing I hope for is that I can recover my freedom to leave to a more civilised country. I'm really past careing anymore about the fate of the uk as sane people don't stand a chance of changing things here.
The EU has indeed strengthened in two key areas, both of which are a result of Brexit along with problems with both Poland and Hungary in recent years, and both of which will effectively block any bid by the UK to be re-admitted as a member.
The first is a change in the EU's own constitution, now approved by the Council so already now in effect, that allows the Commission to suspend any or all EU funding to a member which unilaterally disapplies any portion of the Acquis Communitaire domestically. Subject to Council and Parliamentary approval this level of sanction will be raised to outright expulsion within the next EU governmental cycle (2025-2030). Given that this is what the UK did repeatedly throughout its membership, and given that it cannot provide a constitutional guarantee that it would never do this again, this measure would debar the UK as a candidate just on its own.
However even more importantly the EU now insists that applicant members must not only produce a democratic constitution for inspection but also must show which articles within that constitution act as a brake against the same constitution being dismantled by the executive arm of government. Given that what passes for a constitution in the UK is largely unwritten and composed mostly anyway of accumulated decisions by the executive arm of government this means that the UK cannot even prove it is a democracy at this stage according to how this is defined within the EU (and the rest of the civilized world), let alone that it can ever be a bona fide applicant for membership.
Good luck with your ambition to move to a civilized country.
@@SonOfViking I'm currently looking into whether I can apply for an Irish passport on the basis that my grandmother was born in Cork. The paperwork is difficult to find given my mother is hopeless but, in time I'll find it. I too cannot see a way back for the uk as Labour seem terrified and impotent against the stupidity of a small number of racists and xenophobes and the tory scum seem to be trying to salt the ground for Labour as they know they will loose the General Election.
@@PurityVendetta Just bear in mind that your Irish-born grandmother must have been alive when you were born. Also her child, your parent, should have acquired citizenship or proof of Irish citizenship in the past too. If your granny died before you were born and your parent (mother?) has never had an Irish passport then all bets are off. It is almost impossible for you to qualify as you cannot get onto the Foreign Births Register.
But there is one possible workaround. If your parent (mother?) never availed of Irish citizenship then they should do this before you - it will be a much easier process for them and then you can use their citizenship, not your grandmother's, as the basis for you registering on the "Foreign Birth Register" in Ireland. Once you get your name on that then you'll get a "Birth Certificate" and a passport within days. Good luck!

The Home Office and UK visa situation is probably hands down one of the worst in the world and worse than a labyrinth
I'm a foreign national and know how difficult it is for people who are visa nationals even to have a few days holiday in the UK:A form over 100 pages riddled with more information to fill than a PHD degree and the cost along with VFS fees will total close to £250 and get this one mistake in that form has your application cancelled and your visa and biometrics fees revoked and to go through all that's for just boarding a plane!

Yes, but the government has a plan, it goes something like this... Help, Help, Help!
It’s perfectly simple; set up a legal asylum application system which will enable legal travel and when they arrive just process asylum seekers quickly. That doesn’t play to the right wing loons narrative of the swarms of people coming here though does it? They won’t have anyone to blame for how poor things have become in the UK. Huge profits for those providing accommodation is hardly surprising. We have a government perfectly happy to overpay for anything when it comes to the public’s money. Overpaying mainly for substandard services too. Hotels serving very poor quality food for example. How many directors of those hotel groups and the like are Tory donors I wonder? How many are friends and family of our wonderful leaders? Good report Michael.

Thanks Andrew 😊
@@terencefield3204Without some bureaucracy you surely have open borders? Brexit was supposed to allow us to control our own borders, something this government has singularly failed to do. We have more trucks coming in unchecked than we’ve ever had. I certainly dream of something better than the current sh*tshow we have in government.
Uk government also hates economic growth and job security. The only growth sector over the last decade or so have been the proliferation of food banks. It really is a country that leads the world in decline.
Thanks very much Mr Lambert 👍👍👍 again and again. We have to protect our democracies all around the world 🌎. I am saying this from some years. Our grandparents said "never again"😮. It's up to us.
My sister, a Mail and Express reader, at heart a deeply caring person, has had her mind poisoned with their xenophobic bile. I've tried to reason with her, but she still comes out with the same tired racist cliches. TheTories have destroyed any sense of internationalism for their supporters, but the worst thing is that the rest of us, (I believe still the majority), are opposed to this. Now with their pathetic liar of a leader the more extreme Conservative/fascist elements like Truss, Braverman, Badenoch, Patel, Rees-Mogg et al are taking over the party (Truss wants to see the end of Western democracy). These are dangerous, deeply corrupt people whom the media should call out. BTW Cameron and above all Johnson started the rot imo. Dark times such as pre-1939 await us if Labour do not get in. Their citizens assemblies could be a game changer, however.
Well said. 👌
Well said indeed although I would disagree with you on one point.
The xenophobic/ racist/ fascist elements have already taken over the party.
They are essentially UKIP/BNP and conservative in name only.
Funnily enough I've the very same problem, but have come to the conclusion I'm wasting my breath.
Don't hold your breath re the media. In the 1930's, the Mail supported fascism. eg April 1934, "The Blackshirts have what the Conservatives need."
Could you ask Reese-Mogg if temporary workers are eligible for cheaper shoes? Geoff from Fremantle Western Australia 🇦🇺
We take a different approach to private planes entering Australia. Johnnie Depp tried to sneak in two dogs on a private plane and was caught out. Press had quite a day of it. By the end of it, most of the country knew the names of the dogs.
That was far more to do with dodging import controls, especially around livestock.

They don't hate foreign workers nor foreigners in general for that matter. For Tories is just another stick to stir up hatred and division in the masses, which is their modus operandi. By "Tories" in this context, I mean the Tories who control the direction of the party and government, not the rank-and-file Tories who are just part of the masses being divided.
Thanks man, soo much everywhere xenophobia is growing....shame on government.
ABSOLUTE CHAOS.
ABSOLUTE STUPIDITY.
TRUE.
GB News. A success story!
In its Companies House accounts for the year to 31 May 2022 GB News Limited reported advertising revenues of £2.97m, digital revenues of £564,000 and sponsorship revenue of £105,664. However, cost of sales stood at £25.4m and operating expenses at £8.9m, producing a loss both before and after tax of £30.7m.
Pretty good eh?
With all the spacecraft being sent to the Moon it's quite common to hear the "Bloody Earthlings! Comin' over 'ere, . . . . " being said among the Clangers
Haven't you heard? When we go over there we're not immigrants, we're EX-PATS! Got that? EX-PATS! Totally different! When they come over here they're immigrants. When we go over there we're EX-PATS.
British exceptionalism at its most grotesque.
All English speakers(USA, Australia etc) call themselves expats when they migrate.
But migrants to their home country are referred to as foreigners. It's pretty typical.
EX-PATS if emigrating into another country are immigrants into that country. You can call yourselves EX-PATS if that pleases you more than being titled immigrant.
Hey Michael I'm Welsh, how dare you 😂😂😂😉.
Foreigner, foreigner, foreigner 😅😅😅

tories really appreciate refugees, it's the only thing they can use as a fig leaf. It works too!
Sadly, the rhetoric from Starmer doesn't seem much better than that of the Tories. When asked if Labour would repeal all the profoundly undemocratic legislation forced through Parliament by Patel and Braverman since 2019 (including the Nationality and Borders Act) Starmer replied thus:
*'We have no plans to change this legislation at the present time.'*
He was then asked what deliterious effect this legislation may have on UK citizens and on asylum seekers. His reply to that question:
*'We'll just have to see how this "Beds In"...'*
Depressing, isn't it?
"Hating foreigners" is nothing new on the island of Britain. Imagine the consternation felt by "indigenous Britons" when the Romans invaded and colonized England, then suddely left in 4AD after almost 400 years. Imagine the consternation of what was left of the "Britons" when the Angles, Saxons and Jutes' tribes invaded from Germany and the Lowland regions of Europe to colonize England in 5AD. Not to mention the consternation of the Germanic tribes to the arrival of the Norse to colonize large parts of England in 793. And the utter consternation of the Germanic and Viking dynasties when the Franco Normans invaded, colonized Britain and subjugated "the natives" post Hastings 1066. Thus began the great melting pot of Briton, Pict, Roman, Saxon, Viking and Franco Norman. A fusion of the disparate cultures of Europe to create today's class-obsessed "hybrid English". The "hating" on "foreigners" could be a misdirected emotion formed from a deeper self hate. Maybe the medieval-era melting pot that produced today's "hybrid English" identify isn't as cohesive as some might like.
Europe pretty much had a history of war, pre EU.
Brilliant once more, as a Scot ,I ma well aware of what the British think of us, I have been told that all my life ,with racism and inuendo
Sorry to hear that my friend. I'm not keen on bagpipes mind .
Hi Michael 🇪🇦...again clearly outlining the chaos of the 'tories'..watched til the end as always...👏👏
Thanks Gillian 😊
Thanks
Thank you very much David 😊
Michael your point at 10:00 about the fraction of asylum seekers coming on boats vs those with Visas deserves more attention it isn't mentioned nearly enough. the focus is either net migration or the boats never both in comparison. They do a good job of separating those details.
All part of the widespread tory strategy of deceiving the public
TQ Michael
Enjoyed that Michael,,,,👏👏👏, greetings from Ireland ☘️
Thanks 😊
JAMES CLEVERLY IS SO SUPID I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING YOU SAY
Nice to see you back I'm sure you had a good time with family on your recent trip. And another good video. Keep up the good work, hopefully you might get to a few European cities to show people in little Britain just how terrible the EU is. 😊. Take care.
I worked 7 years in Germany I spent a lot in Germany and sent a lot more back to the uk.
typical English exceptionalism
it is such a shame that those papers keep spewing nonsense
