 Good evening everyone, how are you all? I hope you're all doing well. Thanks very much for joining me. Monday night's live stream loads of things I want to talk about this evening. But first things first, I want to wish a happy St. David's Day to everyone in Wales and to remind everyone that it's our policy that we should have holidays across the UK for our Patron Saint days, a way of uniting us, the whole of the UK I think should have, should mark and celebrate each of the nation's Patron Saint days. Right, update on elections this coming May. We do know now finally that, well, we know that we're coming out of lockdown, we hope. Although I've got a little bit of news on that, we'll go through. So we finally do know what we're going to be allowed to do come for the elections. And from next Monday from the 8th of March, we are allowed to campaign. We are allowed to leaflet and door knock. So from next Monday, I will be leafleting and door knocking and I'm going to need help. So if you are in the vicinity, we can have groups of up to six going out at the same time. If you are within a reasonable distance of Hartlepool, I will be campaigning every single day from next Monday until election day. So there'll be a lot of opportunities to help and I would really appreciate your help. There's a lot to do. I'm going to knock on every door, I'm going to leaflet every door as many times as we can manage and we're going to give it our absolute best shot. So that's from next Monday at the moment. Suffering envelopes and getting things ready. So I'm ready to go ASAP and I'll be out next Monday morning as soon as the clock reasonably allows me to and like I say, every single day until then. If you are pondering whether or not you'd like to stand yourself, give it some serious thought. I mean, it is, I cannot say this often enough. It's a wonderful life experience. It really, really is. And it's your chance to be a part of this historic. I mean, it's always history. History is always being made, but we are in a particularly interesting period at the moment and I think a period where we can make real change and I do think that change, political change is going to start at local elections and in local elections and they're really, really important and local government has a huge influence on our daily lives. Do think about it. If you have any concerns, any questions, give us a shout. And if you can't, if you don't feel ready to stand just yet, then please do help those who are standing. It's just as important and it's still a way for you to play your part and make your mark and stand up for the country because I'm not sure what direction the country is going in. And whilst lockdown is apparently coming to an end in June, to me, the fundamental problems are not going to end when lockdown ends. Illegal immigration, which I'm going to talk about at some length tonight, will continue. I've got no doubt. The censorship, the erosion of our free speech will continue. The wokeness that is destroying reality, that is destroying the country, that is destroying truth will continue. The miseducation of Britain's children will continue. So whilst it's going to be great to get out of lockdown and get some sort of normality back, I was speaking to somebody yesterday who is terribly worried about the fact that his daughter has to wear a mask at school. And I'm going to be looking into that in some detail for a Thursday night stream. And on that, my diary, because for the next eight weeks, from Monday for the next eight weeks, things are going to be very different for me. It's going to be election, election, election. So I'm going to move things around a little bit in terms of my weekly output, if you like. The live stream, Monday night live stream will stay regardless, every Monday we will do this live stream as normal. I'm going to add another live stream, which will be on my Facebook, AMW Hartlepool Facebook on Wednesday mornings at 10. Everything else I'm going to make fortnightly. So the Thursday night stream will be every fortnight. The Wednesday stream will be every fortnight. The economics blog, various other things. However, I'm going to be replacing that with new policy blogs and policy output. And this Thursday I'm going to spend, myself and Ed, I'm going to spend some time filming for new policy, for new policy videos. Small bites to go out on social media. And I'll be, as I say, I'll be doing more policy work and policy blogs and policy output for the next eight weeks. So a few changes, but this Wednesday at 10 o'clock on my Facebook page is going to be my first live stream, weekly live stream for these elections. Okay, I've got a few notes I want to tell you from Ed before we get on to the main topic of the evening, which is illegal immigration. And I read this to you, it's a note from Ed. The member area of the website has been updated. Logged in members will be able to see more documentation to help candidates, branch officials and activists. The shop also stocks leaflets that can be purchased and delivered in various quantities or this part is crucial, they can be downloaded and printed for free. So if you're worried about cost of leaflets or just thinking of standing, don't they can be downloaded and printed off the shop for free. You just need to make sure you select the right option. He says here, don't forget, the shop has now changed for now no longer for Britain.shop, it is for Britain.uk slash shop. And I want to thank Ed again for doing such a great job on the website. And it's constantly being updated and constantly improved and the shop is just part of that. As we campaign from March 8th, I am giving a 20% discount on all campaign essentials in the shop's route March by using the coupon FB-CAM ESS20. I got to ask Ed, if you'll put that up at the bottom of the screen. And the membership tiers, we've got some new membership tiers, £5 for life for veterans, which is a sign of our appreciation for the armed forces and the future for Britain, the new forum set up by Alex and Megan. And again, to those two, well done. It's a fantastic work. And that is £20 for a year and that's for under 25s. Okay, questions are already coming in. So do send them in. I'd like to share this as well, please. Okay. Oh, I also want to quickly say thank you to Richard for sending me this. I've had you to receive it today, so I've not been able to read it yet, but I do get the most fantastic presents. Thank you, everyone, for sending me these things. Okay. Questions coming in, thanks everyone. If you have any questions at all, do let me know. And if you're in Hartlepool, in fact, anywhere, but particularly if you're in Hartlepool and you have questions that you would like me to answer on these Wednesday morning streams, I have received a couple that I'm going to address this week, including cleaning up the rubbish in the local area and taxation. And taxation is going to be more and more relevant because we have this Wednesday, the Chancellor's budget. And on that, I just want to quickly go through an article on the BBC this evening that Tory MPs are warning Rishi Sunak not to put up taxes at the moment. And I fully agree. And in fact, what businesses, particularly small businesses, need now, the last thing they need is tax increases. And the last thing any of us need is tax increases. And I know, and I remember I was asked this by David Vance when I did a stream with him recently, he was interviewing party leaders in the country and he asked me, but don't we need to raise taxes to bring in revenue when there's such a big hole in the public press? The problem is if you raise taxes now, you're going to keep it, unemployment will stay down, which means you'll have less income tax from employment because if employers are taxed now, if taxing on employers is increased now, they are less likely to hire staff. You're less likely to have any new jobs being created or fewer jobs being created. That means less money for income tax. That means less money in the economy, more people on benefits, people with fewer pounds in their pockets, which means less spending. The very last thing, and I'm going to talk about this in a lot more detail on Wednesday morning, but the very last thing we need now is tax increases. We will cover the budget in some detail on next Monday's live stream, but there are Tory MPs and indeed the Labour party, saying that we mustn't put up taxes at this time, but according to the BBC today, it's looking like that will be the case. He did say, Rishi Sionak said he must level with people about the economy, we will see. We will see. Okay, just a quick look at coronavirus. They started off by saying we're coming out of lockdown on the 21st of June, and according to Boris's timetable, which we went through in detail last week, all restrictions should end if things go well on the 21st of June, which essentially means we'll be back to normal, minus perhaps international travel and face masks. But relatively normal on the 21st of June, but here's something that's been in the news today, and this is from Sky News, and this worries me. This does worry me. I'm not convinced, however, that they could lock us up again, even if they wanted to. And the reason I think that is because yesterday I took the dogs out to a beach which is, it's in Harkley Pearl, but it's a 10-minute drive or so away. It's kind of a little quintessential English seaside town. It's got the arcades and the fish and chips and the ice cream parlours and all this sort of along a nice beach. And the place was packed. I didn't actually, I drove in, drove around, tried to find a parking spot, couldn't, so left again. Place was absolutely packed. I went up to a place much closer to me, which is less, sort of a historic area, less touristy, forward for better word. Also packed, and I struggled to find a parking spot there. So, this is before the restrictions are beginning to, I just kept looking at the behaviour of the people. I don't think they'll be able to lock us up again. I just don't think that we'll accept it. However, the word variant is one that worries me a lot. And here's an article from Sky News this afternoon which says surge testing will take place from Monday after cases of the Brazil COVID-19 variant of concern were found in England and Scotland. The variant is the latest to be detected in the UK as the government hopes to reduce transmission through lockdown measures and the vaccine rollout. Sky News takes a look at where the new variant was found. So, the variant called P1 is a bunch of, it was first detected in Japanese travellers who had visited Brazil. It has three mutations in its spike protein receptor binding domain, whatever that means. It was designated of concern as it shares some important mutations that the variant first identified in South Africa. It is thought to have originated in Brazil and has been found in Japan and several European countries. The spike protein mutations mean P1 is likely to be more transmissible than its parent strain. It is unclear whether it is more transmissible than the other variants that have been found in the UK. It is also not known whether its mutations mean it causes a more severe infection. New cases have been found in South Gloucestershire. Public Health England said on Sunday two of the cases come from a household in that area. One person in the household had returned from Brazil in mid-February. So, just of the matter is variant. Worrying variants and we're already hearing words like more transmissible would be as susceptible to the vaccine as the current variants. How many of these variants are there? Can we actually expect to have more and more and more of this to move on just a down a little bit on the vaccine issue? The medical people talking about this said it may affect the ability of antibodies generated through a previous natural infection or through vaccination to recognise and neutralise the virus. Health officials say it is possible vaccines may be less effective, but more work is needed to establish whether that is the case. Worrying, very worrying. So we'll see, we'll see. Okay, I want to talk about illegal immigration and an article today in Breitbart caught my eye. The headline is this, English Channel migrant numbers almost double 2020 levels since officially leaving the European Union at the beginning of the year, the number of illegal boat migrants arriving from the continent via the English Channel has continued its record setting pace with over 500 illegals being brought ashore in Britain this year. Remember, it's the first of March, we've got two months. In February 308 illegal aliens were recorded to have landed on British shores in 18 separate instances, adding to the 223 you were taken ashore in January. As the rough and wintery conditions subsided in recent days, and that's another thing to take into account actually, the weather has been dreadful, it's now improving. So the illegal, as the weather has improving, it's beginning to go up in the last few days with 87 arriving on Saturday, Saturday gone alone. The latest landings mean that there have been 531 migrants officially recorded to have arrived this year. Officially recorded is an important one there. Nearly double the number arriving during the same period last year. Last year I record 8,410 illegal boat migrants were officially found to have entered the UK up from 1,850 the year before. I'm gonna say those figures again. 2020, 8,410, and these are just illegal immigrants arriving by boat across the English Channel and doesn't take account of illegal immigrants coming in via other means. 8,410 last year compared to 1,850 the year before. Further more, they do not, these figures are not believed to include those under the age of 18. And that worries me as well, because we know that we can't exactly be sure of what the age, you will remember these scandals. You know, we've got 40 year old men in primary school. I mean, the whole thing is ridiculous. So those figures don't actually include anyone under the age of 18. And we know that that is meaningless, completely meaningless. Last week, when I had started, I just started to the Zoom or the stream and I got a message from Colin, one of our members, saying that we were talking about, there was a method, if you like, of amnesty for illegal immigrants. I said I'd look into it a bit more and I have done. So here's how this could work. I've got an article going back to when Boris Johnson was Foreign Secretary. Now, he called for, this is 2016, he called for asylum to give amnesty to illegal immigrants and he was advised to drop it. He wanted to give amnesty to only illegal immigrants who were in the UK after we left the European Union, basically an amnesty, a widespread amnesty for illegal immigrants. At the time, Theresa May was Prime Minister and ruled out this introduction, saying it would send the wrong message. She was right. However, this was what Boris Johnson was thinking then and I strongly believe it's what he's still thinking now. So what Colin sent me was a video from YouTube and there's a man on it, he'd made a five minute video, I'll post all this on Gap afterwards. He'd made a five minute video, pointing out two things. One of them was the amnesty given to illegal immigrants so that they could go to the doctor and get the coronavirus vaccination. So the government promised that there would be no reporting of illegal immigrants if they went to the doctor to get their vaccination. They wanted everybody vaccinated regardless and they were, it's simply giving the message to illegal immigrants, don't worry about getting caught if you go to the doctor for a vaccination. We will give an amnesty, an amnesty is the word that's used in this regard and this is to 1.2 million people, at least. I'm gonna go through some of migration watchers figures on this in a second. Well, what's also happening is a new digital identity system which was announced by the government a few days after it announced that there would be an amnesty and that is again, that is the word used if illegal immigrants go to the doctor to get vaccinated. So a few days after that the government announced a new digital identity system. Now what this would allow people to do is enter the lawful system if you like. So rent, work, get a mortgage, all the things that you normally need ID for and the examples given what this would replace is having to give for example, a passport or a driving license in an instance when you would normally need to provide, that's the word I'm looking for, provide an identification, a formal identification such as a passport or a driving license. This digital identity will replace the requirement for a driving license or a passport and it will bring people into the legal system. All you need to do to get a digital identity is have someone such as a doctor vouch for you and what this man concluded, and I often know whether I agree or not, it's simply what was sent to me. It's an interesting point. What this man is suggesting or asking rather is whether this is a backdoor way for illegal immigrants to gain the same identity status as the rest of us in this country without having to have the formal documents that we normally have if we are to have a formal identity in the country. You will also, when illegal immigrants go to the doctor to get their vaccinations, they will be given an NHS number which means they will have access to treatments and at the moment, most illegal immigrants would go to A&E if they'd normally go to A&E because it's the least formal place, but that is being formalized through allowing people to go to the doctor and register with the doctor and get an NHS number. On top of that, you've got this new digital identity which will replace the requirement for driving license and passports and will allow, will give an opportunity for illegal immigrants essentially to legalize themselves to hide their status as an illegal immigrant and obtain a formal identity in this country on a par with those of us who are citizens or who are here legally. I'll share that video on GAAP very shortly. I also want to go through some of the most recent figures on illegal immigration and not only have we up, have we nearly doubled in terms of those coming into the English Channel in this period from last year, but that was, I mean, last year it was sky-high compared to the year before, so the numbers just keep going up and up and up. So this is from Migration Watch a couple of days ago, 24th of February, the number of non-EU nationals who came to the UK on either a visit or longer-term visa but who were not recorded as departing on time. So people who came here either that they didn't need a visa or they did have a visa, but they didn't depart on time. The numbers who are not departing on time has doubled over the course of five years from just under 50,000 in 2016 to 17 to 92,000 in 2019, 2020. So in every way numbers of overstayers has nearly doubled in five years. The numbers coming in illegally through the English Channel has doubled this year compared to this time last year. It's all going in one direction and one direction only. Now this amnesty for vaccination, as I said, gives illegal immigrants a chance to sneak in and almost rid themselves of their status as an illegal immigrant and push themselves in to a more formal identity in the country. And this is happening while the numbers of illegal immigrants and overstayers just keeps going up and up and up and up. Is this a way? Is this a new digital identity? Coupled with an amnesty for illegal immigrants to go to the doctor and obtain an NHS number? Is it a backdoor route either deliberately or not a backdoor route for illegal immigrants to formalize themselves in the country to rid themselves of illegal immigrant status? It certainly could be. It certainly could provide that opportunity. But regardless, under the Tories, nothing in terms of numbers has changed except it's gotten bigger. They keep telling us they're going to crack down on this. They're not. And we have a Labour Party on the other side which would be probably worse but only marginally. I still firmly believe that this is the biggest problem this country faces. Short and long term. Long term, it will completely transform the country, even more than it's already been transformed. Short term, I'm going to look at now. And this again comes from Migration Watch. This is their summary on the figures and the costs to the country of illegal immigration. This is from, actually it doesn't exactly say when it's from, oh it does, July 2019. So it's a couple of years old but the figures are still very relevant. Let's go through them. So first of all, ministers do not know the scale of illegal immigration. No official estimate has been published since 2005. Former senior home office personnel suggested there are at least a million illegal immigrants here already. The ex-head of border enforcement claims 150,000 people enter without permission or fail to depart each year. And I just, these numbers are doubling. That is, by the way, 150,000 a year is 2,885 a week. 77% of the public see illegal immigration as a serious problem. 70 to 80% of the public support measures aimed at deterring illegal migrants from remaining in the UK. Now, that is the vast majority of us. The vast majority want deterrence in the form of making it difficult, not sending out messages such as amnesty messages from Boris Johnson when he was the foreign secretary. It's also when illegal immigrants come here via the English Channel or any other way, what kind of message does it send when the UK border force not only doesn't deport them but goes out to get them. This is happening in defiance of the wishes of 70 to 80% of the British people. In other words, the Conservative government is completely ignoring 70 to 80% of the British public is doing absolutely nothing to stop illegal immigration and is facilitating further illegal immigration through various means in defiance of the vast majority of the British people. There has been a sharp decline in removals of those here illegally since 2012, grants of permission to stay for illegal migrants via routes that allow the regularization of status have increased significantly. Great term, regularization of status. That may well be the term that needs to be used for this route for illegal immigrants to register with doctors and to take up a digital identity formalizing their status in the country or as it's put here, regularizing their status in the country. Each additional person staying costs the taxpayer between 4,255 pounds and 7,820 per year through the use of public services such as health, education and welfare benefits. There are serious enforcement failures and ex-home office head of enforcement says the system looks to be in a state of paralysis. Enforcement funding is entirely inadequate. The head of the immigration staff union notes that illegal immigrants have very little chance of being caught due to the dearth of investment. Border staff described security at ports as resourced to fail. That's a quote, resourced to fail. In other words, not resourced a tonne. Now remember, this is 2019 and we know what happened in 2020 and we know what's happened now in the first two months of 2021. Goes on to say the substantial illegal population in the UK adds to the pressures on housing and public services while paying little if any tax. The government has estimated that each additional person costs between 4,000 and so figures I gave a moment ago. These figures were calculated by apportioning public spending to the resident population in the UK. In 2013, the government estimated that illegal immigration costs the NHS 330 million pounds per year. That's quite a few years ago as well. The London School of Economics has estimated that the long-term costs of benefits for illegal migrants could be 1.6 billion pound a year. Illegal migrants can be exploited by employers who ignore safety and minimum wage legislation. In addition, illegal immigration displaces the UK born from jobs and places negative pressure on the wages on the lowest paid. Yes, it does. It does. And the point now is that we are going into a time of very, very difficult, very difficult economic period. And the likelihood is that despite the objections from some MPs and the Tory benches, the likelihood is that taxes will go up and not just for businesses, but for all of us. Meanwhile, illegal immigration keeps going up. And illegal immigration does put pressure on wages and keeps wages down. Of course it does. This is simple economics. An oversupply of labor will keep wages down. Simple, simple. It goes on to say illegal immigration has also been linked to organized crime. Of course it is. It's a crime in itself. But it is bringing crime here. It is bringing criminals here. And criminals far beyond and far more dangerous in terms of violence or the harm they inflict on society than just the initial crime of coming here illegally. In the government's words, stronger efforts to tackle immigration abuse would reduce the operation and profitability of organized crime. So there are four main ways in which a person can become an illegal immigrant. By entering the country undetected in a clandestine way, such as being smuggled in on a lorry from Calais. By entering the country legally, either for a short visit or for work, study or family reasons, and then subsequently remaining after permission to remain has expired. And I've just gone through the fact that those figures, the overstayers, people not going back when they're supposed to, has doubled in the last five years. Third way, by failing to leave the country after a claim and also often after an appeal for asylum has been rejected. Now we know how common that is. People are, even people who are deported are still here. How can that be? I'm reminded immediately of the Rochdale Three and we protested last year in London against this. This story broke that a woman who had been victim of Rochdale grooming gang saw her rapists in a supermarket. And the most sickening punch in the gut element of this was that they had already been deported. They had been deported and yet still there they were strolling around a supermarket in Rochdale, largest life after being deported. So we have this, this as well. People who have their asylum claims rejected and often their appeals rejected, which by the way the appeal is paid for by you, the taxpayer, and they're still here. Even post deportation, they're still here. So the fourth way, technically a child has no right to remain in the UK if both parents are illegal immigrants. So clandestine into a lorry, overstaying not going back when you're supposed to, a failed asylum claim. And all of those we know are going up and up and up and up and up. It's hard to say the EU migrant crisis has had a significant impact on the UK in recent years, although its effects have declined from the peak in 2015-16 until the closure of the jungle camp in 2016. There were as many as 10,000 illegal immigrants camped out in the Calais region with the intention of making it to the UK despite being in France, which is obviously a safe country. Despite this clandestine trips to the UK across the channel remain a major problem. One source suggests that the average number of detected illegal lorry drops in recent years has been around 15,000 per year. In 2017, there was 30,000 recorded attempts to enter the UK illegally from Northern France. Official statistics also revealed that only a third of 439 illegal migrants who were intercepted while crossing the channel to the UK were returned to France. Just very quickly on the scale of the problem, by its nature illegal immigration is difficult to measure, although it was announced in June 2019 that the Office of National Statistics and Home Office statisticians had been working with departments across government statistical service and academics to explore possible approaches to measuring illegal immigration. What for? What for? If we know how many there are and don't send them back, what's the point? In 2010, Migration Watch UK estimated that illegal immigrant population to be 1.1 million. In 2017, a former head of immigration enforcement and previous Home Office speechwriter, Alastair Palmer, claimed that the Home Office estimated each year as many as 150,000 to 250,000 foreign nationals failed to return home. So, we have enormous figures coming here on boats, enormous figures overstaying. And finally, it's finally from the figures, it says here, our research based upon available data estimates a net rise in illegal immigration of just under 70,000 per year, nearly the equivalent of the British Army. Full-time British Army. In April 2015, the government introduced exit checks while allowing authorities to know who had departed the country. While they appear to have been useful in providing clarity on the scale of compliance by those unstudied visas in particular, the exit checks have been criticized for failing to use information regarding nationals for more than 50 countries whose citizens are not required to obtain a visa for an up to six month stay. Okay, it's a lot of information that's let me try in and summarize it. Hundreds of thousands of people potentially coming in illegal every year, says they're up to 150 to 250,000, just by one route that's just the failed to return home. The numbers crossing the English Channel have doubled. The numbers overstaying in the last five years have doubled. There is nothing, no message going out from the British government at all that discourages this kind of behavior, quite the opposite in fact. We have nothing but rhetoric from Pretty Patel now in the Home Office. And now we have this method root to formalization, to regularization, great word, of illegal immigrants in society, in our mainstream society, via this new digital identity. A person can obtain a digital identity and become formalized in the country, not by providing the usual identification, such as a passport or a driver's license, but merely by being vouched for by a trusted member of society, which obviously at the top of that list is a doctor. Doctors can now vouch for illegal immigrants because illegal immigrants have been given an amnesty to go to the doctor and register with the NHS and get an NHS number because of the coronavirus vaccination. That is useful as long as I can give it of all of that, but the general gist of it is very, very clear. We have a massive problem here and 70 to 80% of the British public, according to a migration watch, want something done about it, but all the government is doing is making it easier by sending out the UK border force to collect people and bring them here and now introducing this digital identity thing, which allows people to formalize themselves, even if they are illegal immigrants, they can get NHS numbers, they can become part of the system via the backdoor in defiance of the wishes of 80%, 70 to 80% of the British public. I'm not even remotely surprised by any of that and it will continue for as long as we keep voting for labor in the Tories. It is as simple as that. Okay, I'm going to go to some questions. There's a couple more stories I do want to cover before we finish, but I want to take some questions. Okay, oh, Stu. Anne-Marie, you're the landlady of a pub called the four Britain arms, best pub in the country, well, obviously, best party in the country, best manifesto in the country. Of course, we'd have the best pub in the country. In walks Doris Johnson and orders a pint. Do you serve him or borrow him? What a good question. Well, I wouldn't want to borrow people really nearly Stu. I didn't get that in last week for Stu, sorry about that. I'll tell you what I will do. I'll sit him down and ask him why he thinks he can act or not in defiance of the vast majority, the wishes of the vast majority of the people in this country. And if he can't give me a good answer, which he can't, then I'll borrow him. He can go somewhere else for a pint. I'll explain to him that I think it's the government's duty, moral and democratic duty to carry out the wishes of the majority of the people in this country. And he is too weak to do so. So I think in answer to the question, I think I'd probably borrow him, not until I've given him a long, long lecture on what a weak, spineless, globalist puppet he is. And that his duty is not to the World Economic Forum or the UN and its climate change agenda. His duty is to the British people. And if he can't give me a good reason why he has neglected his duties to the British people, then he can get out of the best pub in the country. I think that's the best approach. I do love that question, though. Okay, Anne-Marie, why do you think Blair, Cameron and Brown have wheeled out? Have been wheeled out, I assume that's supposed to mean. I can't help thinking something is going on that we are not seeing. Oh, God. Well, there's a lot going on. And I've just talked about what I think is the most important thing that's going on or one of the most important things that's going on. And like I said, it's not going to end on the 24th of June, if and when lockdown ends. We have a huge, huge problem. People are coming here in large numbers. They're allowed to come here. We don't know who they are. We don't know what kind of people they are. We know, however, that they don't come from a culture and society that is long-term, medium-term or even short-term compatible with our society. We also know that we have economic problems, massive economic problems coming around the corner. And we can't, morally, this shouldn't be happening, democratically, this shouldn't be happening, but financially, this shouldn't be happening either. This is costing us a small fortune and a big fortune, in fact, and has done for years. And the taxpayer is footing the bill for this. And meanwhile, all Mr. and Mrs. Smith down the road can't afford to turn on their heating. This should not be happening. This should not be happening. And both sides of the House of Commons are allowing it to happen. So there's a lot going on. I don't know what you have in mind. I don't know what you have in mind as to what you think is going on. It doesn't say, but there are a lot of things we're not seeing. And we're not seeing the detrimental effect that this mass immigration is having. And we're not talking about the long-term, oh, short-term financial impact this is having on us. But I think what they do, when they wheel out these old Prime Ministers, whatever it may be, I think they are so out of touch. It's like when they bring out celebrities that nobody really cares about. Celebrities that they don't like. Nobody likes. And nobody really cares what they think about anything. But you'll see this. I've saw this advert with a load of celebrities on it telling us to get the vaccine and I'm thinking, well, who cares? That's not gonna work. I mean, do they think we're really, that's stupid. All they have to do is wheel out a few TV presenters or pop stars and suddenly all of our concerns will be eased. I mean, what I do think part of that is that they think it lends credibility in some way. If they bring out these former Prime Ministers to spread the message or to repeat the message that they seem to think we have respect for these, but that's all they need to do. Oh, it will add gravitas if we bring out former Prime Ministers to say it. This is how out of touch they are. Most of these former Prime Ministers, particularly Blair, absolutely loathed by the public. So I don't know if they are wheeling out Tony Blair, it just compounds how utterly out of touch they are with the British public. If they think that Tony Blair is going to have a positive influence on anything, they are completely, completely deluded. What are your thoughts on the way that pretty Patel is dealing with migrants and especially foreign criminals? Oh, Bruno, I think you can probably guess what my thoughts are given the last half hour or so. She is a Tory. And what I mean by that specifically is that she will say all the right things and then do absolutely nothing at all. If they were to take actual action against illegal immigrants, first of all, they'd have the left-wing press bleating on about human rights and none of them want a bad headline. This is how weak they are. They don't care that 80% of the British public want something done about illegal immigration. What they care about is not getting nasty headlines in the press and not being called, God forbid, racist in the press because we know that if you want the law to be adhered to, you're a racist. And we remember all the rubbish that pretty Patel got and we shouldn't do anything, when she first went into the home office, like a good Tory, she said some good things, did nothing, said some good things and she was lumbasted for it. She was, the left-wing media ripped her to shreds about it. You know, you would have excluded your own parents and all this rubbish and the politicians don't want this from the press. So they're far more afraid of the press than they are 80% of the British public and there's a good reason for that. The press actually puts them on the spot. They talk to the press on a daily basis so the press makes things difficult for them. They don't get an easy life if they do something so if they were to actually do something, not so do something about illegal immigration, then the press would run amok on them. They don't want it, it's too difficult, it's too much like hard work. They want nice conversations with the press. They want nice headlines. They don't want these nasty headlines. They're afraid of the press. They're not afraid of the British public and they're not afraid of the British public because they take the vote for granted. They fully believe that they can do whatever they like, that all this illegal immigration can continue and then the public will go out and vote them straight back in again. They take that for granted. So in their everyday lives, they want an easy life. They want the nice headlines. They don't face the British public every day. They do face the press every day. So they're far more frightened of the press than they are of the public. And ultimately, it is down to the public to change that, to stop voting for them. I do understand that you need someone else to vote for and that's what Forbritain is here to give. Okay, James, do you think the election count will be behind closed doors? That's a really good question, James, and it's one that I've thought about. I'm not sure it wouldn't surprise me. The way things stand, I'm actually, I was surprised at the lifting of restrictions from next week. I thought pessimistically, perhaps cautiously, that we would not be allowed to converse to doorknock. And apparently we are. I thought if we are allowed to doorknock, we will have to do it on our own, but actually we're allowed in a team of up to six, which is more than I expected. We are allowed to leaflet also in a team of up to six, which again is more than I expected. But I have thought about that and it is a worry. There is a chance because you know what count is like and particularly a count when it's a wide election, so not a by-election, in other words, when the whole council is up, you will have a very busy room with a large amount of wards, all of them being counted. The room will be filled with candidates and those they bring with them. And for anyone who hasn't been to a count, what you will have is large tables with one or two tables for each ward, depending on the size. These will be spread out through a large hall, for example, community centre, something like that. And the candidates will have a couple of people they will be able to bring with them and you'll have lots of candidates for each ward. So it's a lot of people and a lot of people gathered at a table. So if you have one ward, if you have one ward being counted at a table, you'll have all the candidates standing in that ward plus the people they bring with them. That's quite a few people. And what happens then is that the votes are brought in, the big boxes of votes and these boxes are opened in front of all the candidates and their guests and counted there in public in front of everyone. Now, these are busy nights, lots of people in the same room. So whilst I'm pleasantly surprised at how we're going to be allowed to campaign, I'm not sure that that's going to be allowed. A normal count will take place. Whether it will be behind closed doors, I don't know. There's a possibility that we may be, that the candidate may be prevented from bringing anyone with them, for example. That still leaves us with a small ish area. And if they're made, there may be seven or eight candidates in a ward all gathered around a table for account. So I'm not sure what's going to happen. The worst case scenario for me would be that they are counted behind closed doors. I'm not sure they would try that to be honest. I think there could be a bit of an outcry about that. It is a worst case scenario to me, but I suspect that a normal count won't be allowed to take place either. So we might have some restrictions. We may have some distance in. We may have, they could solve the problem by having larger tables and having fewer guests and having candidates perhaps seated along tables rather than sort of standing around and moving around. They can do that. But I think it has to be, it has to be that the candidate at least must be able to see the ballot boxes being emptied in front of them and be able to watch while the count takes place as normal. I think the likelihood is there may be restrictions and the likelihood is that we may not be able to bring people along with us. Behind closed doors, I hope, I sincerely hope not, but it is something that I've thought about. Okay, what would be your first step to halting uncontrolled immigration? Well, look, the very first thing you have to do, but what's happening here is astonishing, astonishing, the most astonishing aspect of it is the UK border force, whose job it is to prevent illegal immigration actually going out into the English Channel, kicking up illegal immigrants and bringing them into the UK. That is an, I don't even, I don't have a word for it. I do not have the word, it's clown world. Personifying, you cannot, it's almost unbelievable. The very first thing you have to do is send people back, send them back, send them back either to, just don't, do not take them back to France. It's France's problem. Do not, if the border force must go out and pick these people up, then you bring them back and drop them off in France, you do not bring them to the UK. The primary problem is the message that's being sent out. There's a lot of, there's a lot, the answer to this is quite long, but the primary problem is the message that's being sent. The message being sent around the world is all you have to do is get here, find somewhere, just get into the English Channel somehow and you can stay in the UK for the rest of your days. That's the message being sent out. That's the first thing that has to change. So we have to re-prioritize our resources in this regard. We have to put resources into finding a million people in this country who are here illegally and deport them. That's the primary thing. In terms of what we do tomorrow is we bring people back to France rather than bringing them here. These things may sound, it may sound like that's not going to have an impact. It will have the most profound impact because the first thing that has to happen is that the message needs to change. The world has to know. And if you, and word spreads, so if you pick people up in the English Channel and you deport them immediately, either to France or to whatever country they come from, word spreads that you don't bother trying to get into the UK, they've changed. They have changed, it's not happening anymore. Don't bother with the UK anymore. You're better off staying in France if that's the case. That word will spread like wildfire. You also need a strong political message from the political leaders in this country that if you come here illegally, you will be deported. You will be. Another thing that has to change, and this I could go on about for a long, long time. Another thing that has to change is benefits. We have got to stop putting people up in, I mean, this is scandalous. This is scandalous. What we are doing is offering hotel rooms and then flats and council housing to people who shouldn't even be here. In the longer and medium term, that has to stop. That has to stop. But in answer to your immediate question, deporting people, first of all, has got to be the first thing that you do. And it has to be done immediately. We have to then, in the more medium term, start looking for these million people. We have to find them and deport them. Our politicians need to start speaking up and saying the gravy train has halted. We will not accept this anymore. That message needs to go out. At the moment, the message going out is we have a Prime Minister calling for amnesty. A Prime Minister that wanted amnesty for illegal immigrants. That's an invitation. In fact, what I'm going to do, what I'm going to do, because we have, well, I'll direct you to our manifesto, Bruno, first of all. But secondly, I'm going to readdress it because I've run out of time now. There's a couple more things that I do want to address before we finish. I will come back to this next week and we'll see, we will time it. We'll time it. So here's what we have to do now. Here's what we have to do in the next year. Here's what we have to do in the next five years. Here is what we need to do to stop this transformation of the UK via immigration. Full stop. So I'm going to come back to this, not just with illegal immigration, but with immigration as a whole next week. Because we're running out of time and I do want to address it. And here's one thing, just one story in the press today or two actually, that I really quickly want to tell you about. The first one, and here's the headline. UK government plots to extend protest restrictions after the lockdown. The British government is reportedly seeking to extend powers granted to police to crack down on protests even after lockdown restrictions are lifted, raising concerns about the state of freedom of speech in this country. A freedom of information request has revealed that Home Secretary Preeti Patel wrote to Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire and Rescue Services, questioning how the government could continue to limit protests. In the September letter reported by the observer, Patel said that while protesting is a cornerstone of our democracy, she inquired as to how the Home Office could prevent protests from impacting upon the rights of others to go about their daily business. Here's a quote, I would like to know what steps the government could take to ensure the police have the right powers and capabilities to respond to protests. That is not good news. The campaign group Liberty has warned that the government is attempting to use the coronavirus pandemic to stifle fundamental human rights in the UK. It's a failure to prioritize what is the exercise of a fundamental democratic right and one that is all the more important given the government's propensity to sideline parliament in the course of dealing with this pandemic, said Liberty interim director Gracie Bradley. The government is clearly intent on shielding itself from scrutiny, whether it's parliament, freedom of information, or protests, so that's an important point she mentions here. About it's the government's propensity to sideline parliament in dealing with this pandemic. That is a crucial point actually, because not for all the good it would do, but we have had over this pandemic, we have had severe or attempts at severe restrictions on our freedoms brought in by ministers, like the 10 years in prison for lying about where you've gone on holiday, brought in by ministers without parliament, without addressing it, without scrutiny, without debate in parliament, we've essentially been governed with major, major infringements on our liberties by ministerial decree. Now I said for all the good it would do because parliament is not an efficient check and balance upon the government because they're all the same. You can't imagine labor running amok on the Tories about infringements on our liberties because labor are worse. Labor would take liberty even more. Well, can you take even more? No, they're the same, they're the same. So they're not going to parliament, they haven't been going to parliament to scrutinize massive infringements on our liberties, but even if they did go to parliament with this stuff, labor would simply agree. Yeah, fine, let it through because there's no opposition to government, no effective opposition to the Tory government in parliament, especially if we're talking about infringements on our civil liberties. Do anyone see labor taking on the Tories about infringements on our civil liberties? Or in fact, the other way around, they're both delighted to say our civil liberties disappear. So finally, fresh push to unpersoned thatcher and roads from British universities. This again is from today, it's from Breitbart today. I put all of these out on gab in a couple of minutes time. The Black Lives Matter inspired attacks on British heritage in universities show no signs of abating. Our students at Durham have removed Margaret Thatcher from a list of inspirational women and academics at Oxford plot to remove Cecil Rhodes' name from a professorship. Baroness Thatcher was removed from a list of women set to be honoured in a portrait competition at Durham University's Art Society. After students complained about Britain's first female Prime Minister being included, who they alleged was homophobic. According to the Mail on Sunday, the organisers of the competition apologised for even including Baroness Thatcher saying, considering Durham's history as a former mining town, the impact of Thatcher's policies as well as her homophobia, her inclusion was an error. The organisers also removed French fashion designer Coco Chanel saying that she had links to Nazis. So her inclusion was also extremely erroneous, not just erroneous, extremely erroneous. We can only apologise for any offence or insult to anyone in our community that this may have caused. This is unbelievable, unbelievable. So inspirational women in politics will not allow the first and one of the most significant Prime Ministers, this country, the first female and one of the most significant Prime Ministers this country has ever had, they will not allow her to be included in a set of paintings honouring women in British history. Unbelievable, and not only that, but they apologised for including her in the first place. It's absolutely, it's absolutely incredible. And here's another one. I just, I'm going to quickly, quickly go through this one as well. Sculpture, this is from the 23rd of February. Sculpture of Margaret Thatcher's severed head on a pike displayed in her home town, a statue depicting the severed head of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher on a pike has been displayed in the town centre of her childhood home by a left wing Welsh artist. Mark Rubler, a 34 year old sculptor from Grantham and Lancashire, installed the decapitated Thatcher on a plinth, which will be the resting place of the official bronze statue of the Iron Lady, a 400,000 project, which has been delayed because of the coronavirus. Speaking to the local paper, the Grantham Journal, Mr. Robler said, I saved the council 400,000 and displayed my new piece. I paid about five pound for the chair, took it apart. There were two metal poles inside, which I made into a pike and the base of the chair helps balance the sculpture. It took about four months to complete and with materials that cost about a hundred pound in total it depicts Margaret Thatcher's head, stuck on a pike made from an office chair standing at five foot, five foot three, while clasping, while still clasping her iconic handbag. I don't understand it and let me have a look. This is, I mean, this is absolutely, this is absolutely appalling, absolutely appalling. Can you imagine, can you imagine if this was a left-wing figure, if anyone on the right were to do this to any left-wing figure? I mean, I just, I can't, I scarcely have the words for this. This is what happened in the Maoist Revolution in China. This is what happened. Statues were pulled down, street names were changed, historical figures were posthumously smeared or unpersoned altogether and a new history was created. This is what, we are in really dangerous territory and this is not about Margaret Thatcher. It's not about Cecil Rhodes. It's about the extreme left dismantling the story of this country and getting away with it. And you know, it's pretty, no matter what, you can absolutely loathe Margaret Thatcher if you want to, but as decent human beings, you have to find putting her head on a spike in the centre of her hometown is disgusting. It is disgusting. I wouldn't do that to a left-wing figure. I wouldn't do that to anyone because I'm a decent human being. This is not the act of a decent human being. This is vile and disgusting and it demonstrates a vile and disgusting mentality and a violent mentality as well. And I have absolutely no doubt that if these people felt able to get away with it, they would be doing it to people and not just to statues. This is what we're up against and it's really, really important and it's another reason why local elections are really important because it is the local government that decides on statues and memorials and street names and that hasn't gone away anywhere either. And recently I saw someone who is on Sadiq Khan's committee to rewrite the history of London and change it from the British capital into some sort of multicultural nothing capital. It doesn't belong to anyone. This to rewrite history and pretend that London has never been a British city. Yes it is. Yes it is a British city or it was and shall be, should be again. But on his little committee to dismantle the heritage of London is a guy who eventually breached security a couple of years earlier and got within about, I don't know, 10 or 15 feet of the Queen and was shouting abuse and just this is a most horrific, anti-British abuse within feet of the Queen and he is now sitting on Sadiq Khan's diversity dismantling of London and this pretends, we're going to pretend now that London is something that it isn't. We're going to pretend that London is not the British capital and the seat of British history of British political history, it is. That's all going to be rewritten. The street names are going to change. We're going to have things like Diversity Road and Equality Street, not just rubbish, but it won't be London anymore and that will be at the hands of Sadiq Khan and his committee of anti-British, the most hateful. People who absolutely hate this country are going to transform it beyond our recognition and that includes, by the way, Labour and the Tories and that's why it's so important that we stand up to them and this may is a very important chance for us to stand up to them. I'm just, I can't, you know, that's really wound me up. It really, really has. I'm just so tired of these bullies getting their way all the time and these weak, weak people, not just giving in, but apologising, apologising for it. Stop, I know what, someone has got to stand up to this bullying and that someone is going to be our party. Okay, I will stop there. This week, I've got a stream on Wednesday. I've got two streams on Wednesday. I'm going to be doing my Wednesday stream, the sort of non-political stream that I've been doing throughout lockdown on Wednesday, but also please do join me at 10 o'clock on Facebook, AMW Hartley-Prule, Wednesday morning at 10 and I will be talking about a lot of the issues that people will be facing. And we'll be voting on come these local elections in May. So join me live on Facebook at 10 o'clock on Wednesday morning. My other stream will be, I will upload it at some point on Wednesday. There won't be, as I said, the other stream is now going to be fortnightly throughout the election campaign. As we won't, I'm filming all day policy videos for the elections on Thursdays. So I won't have a stream this Thursday night, but it will be back next week. I want to do, I want to look into, I just need a little bit of time to look at kids in school wearing masks and to get them together as much as I possibly can about that. If you are a parent whose child is going to have to wear a mask in school and you're concerned about it, give me a shout. If you'd like to come on the stream with me, give me a shout as well. We can do it anonymously, don't have to show your face, but I really do want to hear from parents who are concerned about the masking of children in schools. And we'll do that next week. Okay, okay, that's it for me for now. Look out on both the Forbidden site and on the Emery for Hartlepool site where I'll be uploading policy blogs and policy videos over the next few days and weeks. But my focus really, really is going to be, now from Monday, my head is going to be election, election, election, election, election. And I'm going to be out every single day knocking on doors or delivering leaflets. And if you can, please do help. If you're in a reasonable distance of Hartlepool and you can get here, please do. I can use all the help I can get. And of course we have other candidates in Hartlepool. It's not just myself. We've got Graeme and Karen as well, who can also use your help. And I'm going to have Graeme on with me next week on my Facebook stream next week. So we need a lot of help up here in Hartlepool. If you can help us out, please do. Okay, okay, I will try to close now. Thank you everyone for joining me this evening, as always. I'm going to go now and put out all the articles that I've just covered on my GAAP account. Don't forget to follow me on GAAP, AMD Waters and also the For Britain account on GAAP, which is at For Britain Movement. Let me just make sure that they get, yes, at For Britain Movement. So AMD Waters and For Britain Movement on GAAP, please do follow us. I'll stick all these articles out on there now. Okay, thanks everyone. Take care of yourselves and I shall see you very soon. And I hope you see some of you in Hartlepool. Take care of yourselves, bye-bye.
