This is the best interview Matt has done that I have seen so far. Matt is repeating what Peter Boghossian asked him . . . and correctly asking for very detailed data on each specific subset of migrants to better optimize the migrants the UK takes in. I am a huge supporter of talented mass migration. A technique by which many countries have become rich. Including Hong Kong, Singapore, UAE, Oman, Malaysia, Australia, Ireland, Switzerland, New Zealand, Panama (I would even include China to a lesser degree) etc. But to implement this it is very helpful to have the very deep granular data Matt is trying to get. Kudos to Matt Goodwin!
Matt Goodwin is fantastic. One of the few commentators that is right on absolutely everything. Oh, apart from the snipe at boomers here. We've worked hard for our retirement, though it is harder for younger generations.
I can understand the dig; I’ve met several boomers who say “Oh I’m done with it all, I’m glad I won’t be here later when it gets really bad”. Thanks for that support 🙄
How would he increase long term talented migration to the UK? In the UK 67 out of 146 billionaires are migrants. And the UK would greatly benefit from more elite, millionaire and billionaire migrants and ethnics.
I'm a boomer too. We had good education, great NHS and opportunities...and took them. Today is just so chaotic and uneven. Matt et al are definately on the right track with the right ethos. For the future of the generations following us, its the only obvious strategy at the present.
Matt Goodwin is what the Americans would call ‘a true Patriot’. We need more of this, people wanting to have pride in their country and wanting to get back to our roots. We must help our young find that connection with the past greatness of GB and how we can rise again. We have been stuck in the weeds, discussing identity and feelings for too long. We are missing out on the big issues and the real problems. For the last 25 years our country has been trading on the sweat and blood of previous generations and it has almost been exhausted. This could be a seismic cultural shift in 2029, and it’s critical Reform win that election. The Tories and Labour have been ideologically captured and it’s too late for them now. Time to reset
not all women are lefties. I've run my own business here, set up another one overseas, came back here in 2016. UK has completely turned to shit in the past 10 years. I'm just glad I am no longer employing people. And I'm another Bedfordian.
I'm a huge supporter of Matt, and Peter. However, I'm fed up with in suggesting that all boomers are comfortable. I've worked hard all my life, lost everything during the 80s-90s crash. Since then I've run my own two small businesses and retired two years ago age 74. I don't have extra cash for cruises.
Good point. I get it that prospects are bleak for young people and that is so wrong, but it feels a bit mean to paint all boomers with the same brush. Plenty of older people are struggling.
It’s all about measuring as a group. I’m sure you have it hard for some reasons in your life, as there are exceptions to everything but for individuals within the group, a higher percentage of them have/had it easy compared to today. Take for example your anecdote, compared to my parents, they are boomers and do go on 3 proper holidays a year, one of which is usually a cruise.
You don't - your generation disproportionately does. The data - consistent across public and private sources, left, right and centre - is very clear. Any Briton under the age of 40 should be looking to leave - they are going to be bled dry to fulfil unsustainable promises that should never have been made in the first place.
Running your own businesses is an example of you being better off than others. That doesn’t mean it’s easy to run a business, but pretending you’re hard done by when most young people will never own a home or even earn good enough money to rent their own place and not have to share with strangers. You’re coming across as out of touch Do you own your own home?
Regarding Pete's son's envy of not living in a previous era. It's amazing how many kids today reminisce for the 80s and 90s even though they never lived it. It's such a shame they do this because today should be the best time to be alive. We must change this for their sake.

In Elizzarda, unlike this, the income is stable and it's not hard to start. I initially invested 100 bucks and then a couple of thousand now my deposit has fully paid off, and they haven't even paid me all the profit yet it'll be even more in a month
In the 90s me and my mates used to go to skegness for the day behind our parents backs at 12 we lived in Leicester as long as we was on our street by a certain time all was good i miss those days i miss that britain
Richard Vobes and some of the guests hes had will be a massive boost to your channel and audience understanding of how we approach this situation in the UK. Of course David Starkey is good one as people keep telling you. A good friend of mine recently met him at a Reform meeting.
I don’t remember the 80s being that homophobic. True I’m not gay, but it was in that decade when I was in my 20s lots of people began to live as openly gay.

Peter, great podcast, man! I love Andrew. On a specific point… Canada HAD done guns the right way and now we have Trudeau banning massive numbers of firearms. Canada has had serious gun control along with access to firearms since our founding of the country and after publicly saying he wouldn’t ban them, has gone back on his promise and banned most of them. Even though we haven’t had the terrible shooting the way the USA has had. (We had one bad one decades ago by a nut job) Trudeau have become the tyrant we all fear having in our country. It’s so sad to see.
Nobody ever talks about Switzerland, they nearly have as many firearms per capita as the USA and from my understanding there has only been one incident in their history.
We did lose our identity. We were americanised before the Internet turned up. The TV influence did it. More recently we have completely abolished the idea of a British identity
Excellent point, Matt; people these days prefer to be drip fed rather than do their own research. When I talk to people in debates at work or in my friendships, the number of people who say, “How do you know that?” And I answer, “Because I read.” There’s a huge number of people who are being led around by MSM and SM.
Don't call people baby boomers, Matt. We all struggled in our time and as pensioners now get maligned yet we have paid our dues. Many years ago we struggled to buy a house. Our mortgage went up from £325 a month to £750 a month within six months of us taking it out. It doesn't sound much but interest rates were 15.5%. As a teacher full time I earned just under £380 a month and my husband an engineer earned £400 so on a combined income of £780 our mortgage was £750 leaving us £30 a month to live on for council tax, heating (no central heating in those days); food; etc. We had beans in toast for a main meal - no food banks then and £5 a month off social security. We had now as big machine; a black and white TV - couldn't afford colour; no holidays never mind foreign holidays yet all the people who knock us now, say how LUCKY WE WERE! In later years still paying for our pension, on an income of £3000 as a full time teacher - no pay rises under tories - I paid stoppages totalling £1000, a third of my salary for health care AND FOR MY PENSION. It is galling to be called a "baby boomer" as if it was some privilege - it wasn't. People now being told they are paying our pension! In the loosest sense they are but what about the millions we paid in? Did it just evaporate into thin air or into multi millionaires' pockets? WE PAID OIR OWN PENSIONS but as they are saying for this generation who jet off on foreign holidays and expect all mod cons, they a "are paying" our pensions BUT it is no different to us paying the previous generations'. They will expect the following generation to pay theirs! If this ISN'T how it works, THEY NEED TO REOAY US THE MILLIONS THEY HAVE DEFRAUDED US OF AND PAID IN GOOD FAITH. Maybe tell Rupert Lowe that we don't all live in big houses and holiday abroad "us "privileged" baby boomers! 🤬🤬🤬🤬 Just leave us alone . Add to that of course they want to kill us off with "assisted dying." Legalised murder is what it is. They don't care about the terminally ill, just about saving money for the NHS; social care and pensions. Let's be real it is an economic move not a compassionate or empathetic move. How stupid do they think we are? They killed my maternal grandmother many years ago so they already kill people. The Liverpool pathway - look it up - it is banned now because they starved people of food and water! They also overdosed my dad on morphine although I can't prove that one . Legalising killing people. What a caring and compassionate nation! 🤬🤬🤬
Indeed! You nailed it. As if they always need division between people. Some baby boomers will be very rich, but most aren't. And I saw my parents pay a lot on social security and for their retirement. Where is all this money spent on? I saw it also: migration without limits...
The timing of the assisted death bill has to be seen as part of the cull of the pensioners just after energy payment removed and talk of pension being means tested. Not to mention inflation. One has to see a (malign) trend. And I lost £40k as a Waspi woman. @154_madison we too struggle through 17% interest rates. No furniture in our 1st home and very few foreign holidays during 33 years of marrage.
I'm Gen X and I know how the boomers struggled. However. They did create the world we have. It was the boomers who wanted the sexual revolution and easy divorce and other policies to destroy families and reduce birthrates. My country and yours has not had replacement birth rates since the 1970s when you would have been young and I was younger. Today Britain has a birthrate of 1.4. This means every young person will need to pay enough tax to support three boomers. What the boomers Are responsible for is creating a society people don't want to breed in.
I remember in the 80's thinking it was shit compared to the 60's and 70's. I didint know how lucky I was compared to today. I never seen a non British native until I was 12 years old and we were happier and safer as kids.
REFORM UK NEED THE MONEY TO BE ABLE TO GO INTO 100S OF COMMUNITIES AND SPEND TIME WORKING AND INSPIRING THE LOCALS TO GO FOR OFFICE! NEEDS REAL BIG MONEY AND LEADERSHIP! LOVE THAT FOR A CHALLENGE!

Bedford is basically a middleclass London satellitle town. So the vast majority of those people have money. It is not representative of the migration into the UK.

Matt's one of the few people who I think genuinely tackle the issues this country faces head on. I must admit, I'm a little surprised you didn't seem to see immigration as a more important issue, Peter. I think you're basically spot on on the economic issues we face, but I think perhaps you underestimate the negative impact immigration is having on some poorer communities in the country. There is a difference between upper-middle-class communities with immigrants and the immigrants that end up in poorer communities. The place I grew up for example has basically now turned into a 3rd world slum with people literally living in tents and caravans full of migrants. Most signage on the high street is in Arabic. All of the pubs and stores have closed and now we have muslim community centres and halal stores. And worse still, its just not safe anymore. If you walk around at the wrong times you're quite likely to get mugged or even stabbed. Went I went to university it was very clear to me why middle-class people have less of a problem with immigration. The immigrants who go to university and work middle-class office jobs are not the immigrants I find myself around when I go back to my home town.
This government must stop handing over many billions of British taxpayers’ money to immigrants, both legal and illegal, (and to overseas governments) whilst the British people themselves go without. The need is right here within the United Kingdom and the need is urgent. Government need to return immigrants to their home countries, where responsibility lies; we simply cannot afford this largesse
Great guest. But the podcast name 'Mr Obnoxious' seems like an odd choice, I think it'll put people off. Who wants that appearing beside their face while they talk.
I used to enjoy Matt when I saw him on things like Politics Live, a great 'disruptor' who knows what he's talking about. Pity he's on the naughty step now, I don't really see him anymore. I'll add my tuppence worth to the conversation on who is now supporting Reform, so many people I speak to have rapped their hand's in with Labour/Tories (myself included) and if Reform don't do anything stupid between now and the next election they're going to get a LOT of votes from people that would never have dreamed of voting for them. Just a pity its going to be another 4 and a half years.
You won't have the social trust that's why I now live in Thailand. It's far safer and more relaxed it ain't called the land of smiles for nothing and everything is cheaper and the weather is superb.
Great interview. But perhaps watch the swearing. Doesn't bother me but it might put some people off. Which would be a shame as these two are well worth listening to.
I am sure the government is snooping into our bank accounts we are both pensioners I still work, and they targeted me and my husband to pay more tax and a reduction in our state pension. in other words, if you have savings they will target you, they can work out how much you have by the interest you pay
Question Time???? - Where is this guy from again. We all stopped watching Question time nearly 10 years ago - that is the worst of all programmes in terms of having a meaningful debate
All teams.....Reform has to evolve; form, norm (polite phase) then storm..impolite stage!, leaders surface, some colateral damage then they can consolidate.
I'm ten years older than you, and I think the nineties sucked. Better than it is now, but still sucked. It's all relative to when the individual was young.
The one area I strongly agree with Matt is the provision of tax, crime and social benefit payments by age, sex, ethnic identity (people give this in the census) and immigration/visa status. Today I read - in the Guardian - that Birmingham has the youngest population of any UK city. And it’s not the white population's of that city having loads of kids. The article was about services for kids with disabilities being cut because the council is broke. Where are they going to get the money from? Well I would guess the mainly white boomer and generation X white population in the smarter suburbs. But, I may be wrong about who has the kids and who is claiming, but this innocuous information is either not collected or not available.
The comments on Angela Rayner are interesting. She genuinely does come off as a real person who’s found themselves in this position, in a way that Reeves & Starmer simply do not. They feel the opposite, unapproachable & alien. Rayner seems to occupy a similar tokenistic ‘working-class’ role as Deputy PM as Lee Anderson did as Chair of the Tories.
Great conversation, I find Matt being wise albeit still entirely too tame times 10 compared to the moment he & his country live in. I give him props mostly for listening to his own audiences , actually in allot of his audience is a paid audience. They have in short grabbed a hold of Matt & have offered him quite a pleasant tour down the path of freedoms. As for the UK , unfortunately I feel like as if the last 4 or 5 decades of everyone screaming that your politics / WEF/club of Rome adherences to the insanity of the inky dinky small % of the gelatinous spined subcreatures that often occupy positions of powers along with the truly faceless things that they work for. I'd strongly recommend as reform peddles along at a slower pace then the other parties nationally, I'd strongly suggest picking a smaller section of your island & applying all freedom instinctsolar then times them by 100 ... then don't be shocked when that small section absolutely grows in business, students performing, all aspects. So pick a section. Ps start viewing migration as a constant suppressed wages campaign offered by your elites.
Sorry Peter, but it doesn't matter if you agree or not, it's simple, basic economics that if you import millions of low skilled, low wage workers, then you decrease GDP per capita, which makes the country poorer. Every person who immigrates who earns below a certain income level (approx 40k) is a net drain on the economy over time, the more of them there are, the bigger the drain. GDP might go up, but GDP per capita goes down (and GDP per capita is what matters, India might have the same GDP as the UK, but it has 20x the people, so it is a vastly poorer country)
It’s not just about saying ‘as taxpayers’ it’s about saying as the ethnic rightful owners and heirs to this nation, we get to decide who gets to stay and who doesn’t and how and where our money is spent. Stop being afraid to ASSERT that this is OUR LAND.
The problem with Reform and the reason they have not received more support is because they put everything down to immigration. The uks immigration policy is part of the problem but even if you solve this we’re still f@$ked. They need to focus on economic policy where I think they have some really good ideas and much better than labour or conservatives. With regards immigration focus on illegal immigration and not legal immigration. My wife is a legal immigrant and I can tell you Matt it is incredibly difficult, incredibly expensive and incredibly time consuming. She also needs to pay a very high fee for nhs (on top of our taxes) and can’t claim any sort of public welfare until she is a full citizen which takes minimum 6 years. So get your facts straight before you criticize all legal immigrants. Take a look at the literally millions of native born people in the uk who have never worked.
Really don't understand why anyone on the right tolerates konstantin kisin . He is on the left and tries to cancel conservatives, especially Christians. I immediately distrust people who hold him in high regard.
⚡️ 42:30 Now pull up population growth rate - without immigrants the UK population tanks and so will the economy because there will be more elderly people than young working people. Even Elon himself has cited population collapse as one of the most significant risks we face. The problem in my view is that it’s not immigrants but the management of immigration; the Home Office needs modernisation. Speakers such as this generalises causing misconceptions and outrage which draws in clicks-the same tactics used by Reform. There is a difference between asylum seekers, illegal immigrants and how that is managed versus the large majority of us who came here at massive financial and personal cost. We paid NI for years without having any access to government funds. We pay for our NHS use (currently at £1,000 per person per year). It’s the abuse of behavioural science tactics such as the ones used by the speaker and Reform to manipulate that will never see me voting for Reform.
Yes but you also have to analyse the reasons why population collapse is happening, is it due to economical factors which mass immigration doesn't help, makes it harder and harder for people to have children. Also I believe the mainstream isn't very pro family. Your point about it being the management of immigration not immigrants is exactly what Matt has said, and also Reform say the same, every agrees that we should bring in highly skilled workers but when you're bring in low skilled workers to do jobs that some people would say the British don't want to do, it's not true. Brits just don't want to do those jobs for such a low wages in a high tax system, and like what Matt said what that does is it stifles innovation and growth.
This is a pyramid scheme If the economy is reliant on perpetual population growth, at some point the population will decrease because resources and land are limited The longer we take to restructure the economy so it isn’t a pyramid scheme, the more difficult it’ll be and the more problems will arise We are going to have to deal with population decline at some point, the more we kick the can down the road by plastering over the cracks in our economy, the worse it’ll be when we finally face the issue
Stop obsessing about birth rate decline. Re -skill the indigenous population.Plenty of examples. As an example Thailand has the same age demographic and they don’t flood their country with foreigners. And guess what it won’t be Thailand that will be in recession in 2025.
I think you overlook the many factors which go into having or not having kids. You could argue that the conditions created by so much immigration contributed to the low birthrates. I was at home until I was 31 because houses were so expensive, especially when thinking about a family home, the increased tax burden from looking after so many net-negative individuals economically speaking means I have less money generally, schools are full because of the increase in the number of people and so on. Yes, population collapse is a problem to deal with but causing a collapse in others ways doesn’t exactly benefit anyone in the long run. Continuing down he path we are on would see the UK in maybe 50-100 years’ time become a 2nd world country. They arent tackling the issue, they are putting plaster on it, that plaster is then causing its own problems. Its short term thinking at its very worst. As an additional point if you don’t think the other political parties use the same kind of tactics, then it just means its worked on you. They all do it.
So do you feel the only way out of this is to continue using immigration indefinitely or do you think the British people should be encouraged somehow to procreate more? Obviously there's a huge issue here with our native population being in decline, which will cause the death spiral of our economy if it's not propped up by immigration.

Even though we haven’t had the terrible shooting the way the USA has had. (We had one bad one decades ago by a nut job) Trudeau have become the tyrant we all fear having in our country. It’s so sad to see.
Nobody ever talks about Switzerland, they nearly have as many firearms per capita as the USA and from my understanding there has only been one incident in their history.
We did lose our identity. We were americanised before the Internet turned up. The TV influence did it. More recently we have completely abolished the idea of a British identity
It started with music in WW2
This is just fantastic. Very informative and asking all the right questions.
A billiant Podcast, Mat has nailed it , his view need implamenting now before things gets a lot worse

Conner Tomlinson reckons the home office is mixed up in the immigration situation
Excellent point, Matt; people these days prefer to be drip fed rather than do their own research. When I talk to people in debates at work or in my friendships, the number of people who say, “How do you know that?” And I answer, “Because I read.” There’s a huge number of people who are being led around by MSM and SM.
Don't call people baby boomers, Matt. We all struggled in our time and as pensioners now get maligned yet we have paid our dues. Many years ago we struggled to buy a house. Our mortgage went up from £325 a month to £750 a month within six months of us taking it out. It doesn't sound much but interest rates were 15.5%. As a teacher full time I earned just under £380 a month and my husband an engineer earned £400 so on a combined income of £780 our mortgage was £750 leaving us £30 a month to live on for council tax, heating (no central heating in those days); food; etc. We had beans in toast for a main meal - no food banks then and £5 a month off social security. We had now as big machine; a black and white TV - couldn't afford colour; no holidays never mind foreign holidays yet all the people who knock us now, say how LUCKY WE WERE! In later years still paying for our pension, on an income of £3000 as a full time teacher - no pay rises under tories - I paid stoppages totalling £1000, a third of my salary for health care AND FOR MY PENSION. It is galling to be called a "baby boomer" as if it was some privilege - it wasn't. People now being told they are paying our pension! In the loosest sense they are but what about the millions we paid in? Did it just evaporate into thin air or into multi millionaires' pockets? WE PAID OIR OWN PENSIONS but as they are saying for this generation who jet off on foreign holidays and expect all mod cons, they a "are paying" our pensions BUT it is no different to us paying the previous generations'. They will expect the following generation to pay theirs! If this ISN'T how it works, THEY NEED TO REOAY US THE MILLIONS THEY HAVE DEFRAUDED US OF AND PAID IN GOOD FAITH. Maybe tell Rupert Lowe that we don't all live in big houses and holiday abroad "us "privileged" baby boomers! 🤬🤬🤬🤬 Just leave us alone . Add to that of course they want to kill us off with "assisted dying." Legalised murder is what it is. They don't care about the terminally ill, just about saving money for the NHS; social care and pensions. Let's be real it is an economic move not a compassionate or empathetic move. How stupid do they think we are?
They killed my maternal grandmother many years ago so they already kill people. The Liverpool pathway - look it up - it is banned now because they starved people of food and water! They also overdosed my dad on morphine although I can't prove that one .
Legalising killing people. What a caring and compassionate nation! 🤬🤬🤬
Indeed! You nailed it. As if they always need division between people. Some baby boomers will be very rich, but most aren't. And I saw my parents pay a lot on social security and for their retirement. Where is all this money spent on? I saw it also: migration without limits...
Glad you got that off your chest!
Same
The timing of the assisted death bill has to be seen as part of the cull of the pensioners just after energy payment removed and talk of pension being means tested. Not to mention inflation. One has to see a (malign) trend. And I lost £40k as a Waspi woman. @154_madison we too struggle through 17% interest rates. No furniture in our 1st home and very few foreign holidays during 33 years of marrage.
I'm Gen X and I know how the boomers struggled. However. They did create the world we have. It was the boomers who wanted the sexual revolution and easy divorce and other policies to destroy families and reduce birthrates. My country and yours has not had replacement birth rates since the 1970s when you would have been young and I was younger. Today Britain has a birthrate of 1.4. This means every young person will need to pay enough tax to support three boomers. What the boomers Are responsible for is creating a society people don't want to breed in.
Fab conversation, learnt so much! I hope just about everything Mat Goodwin says should happen…..does! L
Fantastic convo!!!
38:28 QUESTION TIME also VET the audience and the questions… they wouldnt let me be in the audience!
I remember in the 80's thinking it was shit compared to the 60's and 70's. I didint know how lucky I was compared to today.
I never seen a non British native until I was 12 years old and we were happier and safer as kids.
REFORM UK NEED THE MONEY TO BE ABLE TO GO INTO 100S OF COMMUNITIES AND SPEND TIME WORKING AND INSPIRING THE LOCALS TO GO FOR OFFICE! NEEDS REAL BIG MONEY AND LEADERSHIP! LOVE THAT FOR A CHALLENGE!
Sounds like Musk might come to their rescue?
quite the bomb in the intro!
agree 100%!!!

Excellent.
You both should have been teenagers in the 70s that would truly open your eyes to freedom 👀🤩🤩🤩👍🇬🇧
I was a child then. Certainly no helicopter parenting in the subtropics. Half the time the adults were slowly getting drunk and didn't care where we were or what we were doing. Merry Christmas from Oz
People are so busy trying to survive they don't get to see stuff like this, so a good way is using clever little wake up memes to start them thinking!
Bedford is basically a middleclass London satellitle town. So the vast majority of those people have money. It is not representative of the migration into the UK.

The solution to misinformation is more information. Not less.
Matt's one of the few people who I think genuinely tackle the issues this country faces head on.
I must admit, I'm a little surprised you didn't seem to see immigration as a more important issue, Peter. I think you're basically spot on on the economic issues we face, but I think perhaps you underestimate the negative impact immigration is having on some poorer communities in the country. There is a difference between upper-middle-class communities with immigrants and the immigrants that end up in poorer communities.
The place I grew up for example has basically now turned into a 3rd world slum with people literally living in tents and caravans full of migrants. Most signage on the high street is in Arabic. All of the pubs and stores have closed and now we have muslim community centres and halal stores. And worse still, its just not safe anymore. If you walk around at the wrong times you're quite likely to get mugged or even stabbed.
Went I went to university it was very clear to me why middle-class people have less of a problem with immigration. The immigrants who go to university and work middle-class office jobs are not the immigrants I find myself around when I go back to my home town.
This government must stop handing over many billions of British taxpayers’ money to immigrants, both legal and illegal, (and to overseas governments) whilst the British people themselves go without. The need is right here within the United Kingdom and the need is urgent. Government need to return immigrants to their home countries, where responsibility lies; we simply cannot afford this largesse
What is the danger to England and the UK if the vast majority of UK top performing students, millionaires and billionaires become migrants or ethnics?
Best time was 60's 70's
Great guest. But the podcast name 'Mr Obnoxious' seems like an odd choice, I think it'll put people off. Who wants that appearing beside their face while they talk.
I used to enjoy Matt when I saw him on things like Politics Live, a great 'disruptor' who knows what he's talking about. Pity he's on the naughty step now, I don't really see him anymore.
I'll add my tuppence worth to the conversation on who is now supporting Reform, so many people I speak to have rapped their hand's in with Labour/Tories (myself included) and if Reform don't do anything stupid between now and the next election they're going to get a LOT of votes from people that would never have dreamed of voting for them. Just a pity its going to be another 4 and a half years.
We have a word to describe the current political class.... "Kakistocracy".
You won't have the social trust that's why I now live in Thailand. It's far safer and more relaxed it ain't called the land of smiles for nothing and everything is cheaper and the weather is superb.
Great interview. But perhaps watch the swearing. Doesn't bother me but it might put some people off. Which would be a shame as these two are well worth listening to.
I am sure the government is snooping into our bank accounts we are both pensioners I still work, and they targeted me and my husband to pay more tax and a reduction in our state pension. in other words, if you have savings they will target you, they can work out how much you have by the interest you pay
We need proportional representation.
I'm not going to be led down the garden path of ever voting lib/lab/con or reform.
Question Time???? - Where is this guy from again. We all stopped watching Question time nearly 10 years ago - that is the worst of all programmes in terms of having a meaningful debate
All teams.....Reform has to evolve; form, norm (polite phase) then storm..impolite stage!, leaders surface, some colateral damage then they can consolidate.
I'm ten years older than you, and I think the nineties sucked. Better than it is now, but still sucked. It's all relative to when the individual was young.
Low wages cost more in services than they pay I tax. Hence, everyone else pays more tax
It was clearly the Atlantans and examples of lost high technology.
The country can’t take 10 years of labour and also Nigel,Rupert,Anderson and tice are not spring chickens for reform to work it has to be 2029
I don’t mind that journalists are biased but it’s when they pretend they’re neutral that grates me .
The one area I strongly agree with Matt is the provision of tax, crime and social benefit payments by age, sex, ethnic identity (people give this in the census) and immigration/visa status. Today I read - in the Guardian - that Birmingham has the youngest population of any UK city. And it’s not the white population's of that city having loads of kids. The article was about services for kids with disabilities being cut because the council is broke. Where are they going to get the money from? Well I would guess the mainly white boomer and generation X white population in the smarter suburbs. But, I may be wrong about who has the kids and who is claiming, but this innocuous information is either not collected or not available.
At the end of the day this is down to government…
The comments on Angela Rayner are interesting. She genuinely does come off as a real person who’s found themselves in this position, in a way that Reeves & Starmer simply do not. They feel the opposite, unapproachable & alien. Rayner seems to occupy a similar tokenistic ‘working-class’ role as Deputy PM as Lee Anderson did as Chair of the Tories.
What is Britian? ... A complex amalgam of Nations and Regions tempered over time.
Great conversation, I find Matt being wise albeit still entirely too tame times 10 compared to the moment he & his country live in. I give him props mostly for listening to his own audiences , actually in allot of his audience is a paid audience. They have in short grabbed a hold of Matt & have offered him quite a pleasant tour down the path of freedoms. As for the UK , unfortunately I feel like as if the last 4 or 5 decades of everyone screaming that your politics / WEF/club of Rome adherences to the insanity of the inky dinky small % of the gelatinous spined subcreatures that often occupy positions of powers along with the truly faceless things that they work for. I'd strongly recommend as reform peddles along at a slower pace then the other parties nationally, I'd strongly suggest picking a smaller section of your island & applying all freedom instinctsolar then times them by 100 ... then don't be shocked when that small section absolutely grows in business, students performing, all aspects. So pick a section. Ps start viewing migration as a constant suppressed wages campaign offered by your elites.
5:53 USA would be a great place for a young man to go… BUT PLEASE DONT! stay here and VOTE REFORM
'There was racism in football'
So what?
Racism is how one group protects themselves from hostile foreigners.
😂
Sorry Peter, but it doesn't matter if you agree or not, it's simple, basic economics that if you import millions of low skilled, low wage workers, then you decrease GDP per capita, which makes the country poorer. Every person who immigrates who earns below a certain income level (approx 40k) is a net drain on the economy over time, the more of them there are, the bigger the drain. GDP might go up, but GDP per capita goes down (and GDP per capita is what matters, India might have the same GDP as the UK, but it has 20x the people, so it is a vastly poorer country)
It’s not just about saying ‘as taxpayers’ it’s about saying as the ethnic rightful owners and heirs to this nation, we get to decide who gets to stay and who doesn’t and how and where our money is spent. Stop being afraid to ASSERT that this is OUR LAND.
The problem with Reform and the reason they have not received more support is because they put everything down to immigration. The uks immigration policy is part of the problem but even if you solve this we’re still f@$ked. They need to focus on economic policy where I think they have some really good ideas and much better than labour or conservatives. With regards immigration focus on illegal immigration and not legal immigration. My wife is a legal immigrant and I can tell you Matt it is incredibly difficult, incredibly expensive and incredibly time consuming. She also needs to pay a very high fee for nhs (on top of our taxes) and can’t claim any sort of public welfare until she is a full citizen which takes minimum 6 years. So get your facts straight before you criticize all legal immigrants. Take a look at the literally millions of native born people in the uk who have never worked.
Really don't understand why anyone on the right tolerates konstantin kisin . He is on the left and tries to cancel conservatives, especially Christians. I immediately distrust people who hold him in high regard.
Nothing in common and no common sense.
Hmm. I wonder what this guys views on immigration and migration are... 🤔
Peter you must get out more if you think 90% of people in the UK hate Trump you would be amazed 😉
We need Nigel to do a Trump here we have exactly the same problems loony tune globalists
Really WOKE sponsor of this podcast 🤦🏻
78 is nowhere close to boomer. Just add it to the rest of the pile of nonsense this guy spouts.
Other than whine, what do you Brits intend to do about it?
You lost me at Angela Rayner.
Waffling
⚡️ 42:30 Now pull up population growth rate - without immigrants the UK population tanks and so will the economy because there will be more elderly people than young working people. Even Elon himself has cited population collapse as one of the most significant risks we face. The problem in my view is that it’s not immigrants but the management of immigration; the Home Office needs modernisation. Speakers such as this generalises causing misconceptions and outrage which draws in clicks-the same tactics used by Reform. There is a difference between asylum seekers, illegal immigrants and how that is managed versus the large majority of us who came here at massive financial and personal cost. We paid NI for years without having any access to government funds. We pay for our NHS use (currently at £1,000 per person per year). It’s the abuse of behavioural science tactics such as the ones used by the speaker and Reform to manipulate that will never see me voting for Reform.
Yes but you also have to analyse the reasons why population collapse is happening, is it due to economical factors which mass immigration doesn't help, makes it harder and harder for people to have children. Also I believe the mainstream isn't very pro family. Your point about it being the management of immigration not immigrants is exactly what Matt has said, and also Reform say the same, every agrees that we should bring in highly skilled workers but when you're bring in low skilled workers to do jobs that some people would say the British don't want to do, it's not true. Brits just don't want to do those jobs for such a low wages in a high tax system, and like what Matt said what that does is it stifles innovation and growth.
This is a pyramid scheme
If the economy is reliant on perpetual population growth, at some point the population will decrease because resources and land are limited
The longer we take to restructure the economy so it isn’t a pyramid scheme, the more difficult it’ll be and the more problems will arise
We are going to have to deal with population decline at some point, the more we kick the can down the road by plastering over the cracks in our economy, the worse it’ll be when we finally face the issue
Stop obsessing about birth rate decline. Re -skill the indigenous population.Plenty of examples. As an example Thailand has the same age demographic and they don’t flood their country with foreigners. And guess what it won’t be Thailand that will be in recession in 2025.
I think you overlook the many factors which go into having or not having kids. You could argue that the conditions created by so much immigration contributed to the low birthrates. I was at home until I was 31 because houses were so expensive, especially when thinking about a family home, the increased tax burden from looking after so many net-negative individuals economically speaking means I have less money generally, schools are full because of the increase in the number of people and so on. Yes, population collapse is a problem to deal with but causing a collapse in others ways doesn’t exactly benefit anyone in the long run. Continuing down he path we are on would see the UK in maybe 50-100 years’ time become a 2nd world country.
They arent tackling the issue, they are putting plaster on it, that plaster is then causing its own problems. Its short term thinking at its very worst.
As an additional point if you don’t think the other political parties use the same kind of tactics, then it just means its worked on you. They all do it.
So do you feel the only way out of this is to continue using immigration indefinitely or do you think the British people should be encouraged somehow to procreate more? Obviously there's a huge issue here with our native population being in decline, which will cause the death spiral of our economy if it's not propped up by immigration.
Whats with the waving hands ?
