"It is not there so that economic migrants from all over the world can come in and live off the British state." "Taxpayers in this country, hard working men and women are paying for that. That is not right."WATCH THE CLIP ABOVE FOR MORE

00:00Can I show this video of a newly arrived Sudanese man who arrived in the past few
00:04days. He's dancing around a rather smart hotel room.
00:20It's a disgrace. It's a disgrace. That is not what the asylum system is there for.
00:25It is not there so that economic migrants from all over the world can
00:28come in and live off the British state. Taxpayers in this country, hardworking men and women,
00:33are paying for that. That is not right in case Starmer needs to get a grip.
00:37We don't know his story. He may not be an economic migrant but still
00:40in a rather smart hotel room dancing around. Well he's also clearly got a phone and somebody
00:45able to do videos for him. I know that's not that easy. So we need to stop letting our kindness
00:50being exploited in this way. There are a lot of people out there in the world who need our help
00:55but we're not able to help them anymore because so many people are blocking the system. That needs
01:00to be fixed. Case Starmer needs to get a grip. He needs to bring back the Rwanda plan or another
01:05third country deterrent and stop the boats that are coming to our country and exploiting our kindness
01:10and goodwill.
