you we'll start with a big news story of
the<00:00:37.520> day<00:00:37.760> hs2<00:00:38.800> i<00:00:38.960> think<00:00:39.360> uh<00:00:39.760> we<00:00:40.000> tried<00:00:40.399> very
the day hs2 i think uh we tried very
clearly<00:00:41.440> on<00:00:41.600> this<00:00:41.840> show<00:00:42.160> to<00:00:42.800> make<00:00:43.040> the<00:00:43.200> point
clearly on this show to make the point
that<00:00:43.920> hs2<00:00:44.480> has<00:00:44.640> not<00:00:44.800> been<00:00:45.039> scrapped<00:00:45.440> yes<00:00:45.600> it's
uh interestingly we had john stephenson
the<00:00:53.600> mp<00:00:53.920> for<00:00:54.079> carlila<00:00:54.640> torre<00:00:54.960> mp<00:00:55.199> but<00:00:55.280> not<00:00:55.440> part
the mp for carlila torre mp but not part
of<00:00:55.680> the<00:00:55.840> redwall<00:00:56.239> new<00:00:56.480> intake<00:00:56.960> a<00:00:57.120> man<00:00:57.280> who
i i'm i'm not disappointed we're
spending<00:01:04.400> money<00:01:04.720> in<00:01:04.879> the<00:01:04.960> north<00:01:05.280> we<00:01:05.439> never<00:01:05.680> did
spending money in the north we never did
we're<00:01:06.080> talking<00:01:06.320> about<00:01:06.479> the<00:01:06.560> north<00:01:06.880> like<00:01:07.040> we
never did uh possibly it's boris
spouting<00:01:10.080> off<00:01:10.320> without<00:01:11.119> you<00:01:11.200> know<00:01:11.520> being<00:01:11.760> able
spouting off without you know being able
to<00:01:12.159> see<00:01:12.320> it<00:01:12.479> through<00:01:12.640> but<00:01:12.799> it's<00:01:12.960> still<00:01:13.280> a
with you bet at expense what do you make
of<00:01:17.040> today<00:01:17.280> has<00:01:17.439> he<00:01:17.600> betrayed<00:01:18.000> the<00:01:18.080> north<00:01:18.400> or
oh i just think
yes<00:01:20.960> it<00:01:21.119> is<00:01:21.200> a<00:01:21.280> massive<00:01:21.680> investment<00:01:22.080> in<00:01:22.159> the
yes it is a massive investment in the
north<00:01:22.560> but<00:01:22.720> it<00:01:22.880> is<00:01:23.040> still<00:01:23.280> ultimately<00:01:23.759> an
investment that serves london that's the
way<00:01:25.840> you<00:01:26.000> need<00:01:26.080> to<00:01:26.240> look<00:01:26.320> at<00:01:26.479> hs2<00:01:27.439> you<00:01:27.520> know<00:01:27.680> you
way you need to look at hs2 you know you
it<00:01:28.080> takes<00:01:28.400> about<00:01:28.720> the<00:01:28.799> same<00:01:29.040> amount<00:01:29.280> of<00:01:29.439> time
it takes about the same amount of time
to<00:01:29.840> get<00:01:30.079> from<00:01:30.240> london<00:01:30.560> to<00:01:30.720> manchester<00:01:31.280> as<00:01:31.439> it
to get from london to manchester as it
does<00:01:31.680> to<00:01:31.840> get<00:01:31.920> from<00:01:32.079> liverpool<00:01:32.479> to<00:01:32.640> bradford
does to get from liverpool to bradford
you<00:01:33.119> know<00:01:33.200> these<00:01:33.360> are<00:01:33.439> not<00:01:33.680> small<00:01:34.159> cities<00:01:34.880> in
you know these are not small cities in
the<00:01:35.119> north<00:01:35.280> of<00:01:35.439> england<00:01:35.680> and<00:01:35.840> it's<00:01:35.920> about<00:01:36.159> half
bradford or huddersfield and warrington
and<00:01:39.759> places<00:01:40.079> like<00:01:40.159> that<00:01:40.400> these<00:01:40.560> are<00:01:40.640> not<00:01:40.880> small
potentially very large industrial bases
lots<00:01:44.720> of<00:01:45.119> dead<00:01:45.360> housing<00:01:45.759> stock<00:01:46.000> there<00:01:46.159> that
lots of dead housing stock there that
can<00:01:46.399> be<00:01:46.560> used<00:01:46.880> there<00:01:47.040> is<00:01:47.119> an<00:01:47.280> awful<00:01:47.520> lot<00:01:47.680> of
need greater connectivity with london
yeah<00:01:54.000> ultimately<00:01:54.399> i<00:01:54.479> think<00:01:54.640> that<00:01:54.799> that<00:01:55.040> is<00:01:55.200> the
yeah ultimately i think that that is the
point<00:01:55.680> that<00:01:55.840> a<00:01:55.920> lot<00:01:56.079> of<00:01:56.159> people<00:01:56.320> in<00:01:56.399> the<00:01:56.479> north
point that a lot of people in the north
are<00:01:57.040> saying<00:01:57.280> the<00:01:57.439> government<00:01:57.840> is<00:01:57.920> missing<00:01:58.240> so
manchester uh birmingham isn't in the
north<00:02:02.240> but<00:02:02.399> you<00:02:02.479> know<00:02:02.560> it<00:02:02.719> is<00:02:02.799> getting<00:02:03.040> to
manchester and there will be
improvements<00:02:04.880> to<00:02:05.040> the<00:02:05.119> leeds<00:02:05.360> line<00:02:05.840> but<00:02:06.000> it's
improvements to the leeds line but it's
not<00:02:06.479> actually<00:02:06.799> what<00:02:06.960> the<00:02:07.119> north<00:02:07.600> wants<00:02:08.080> or
needs what they need is better
connectivity<00:02:10.319> to<00:02:10.399> get<00:02:10.560> them<00:02:10.720> from<00:02:10.879> point<00:02:11.120> a<00:02:11.280> to
connectivity to get them from point a to
b<00:02:11.680> in<00:02:11.840> the<00:02:11.920> north<00:02:12.319> and<00:02:12.480> i<00:02:12.560> think<00:02:12.720> ultimately
b in the north and i think ultimately
that's<00:02:13.440> the<00:02:13.520> thing<00:02:13.760> that<00:02:13.840> they<00:02:14.000> keep<00:02:14.239> on
that's the thing that they keep on
saying<00:02:14.800> nobody's<00:02:15.280> listening<00:02:15.599> to<00:02:15.680> us<00:02:15.920> over<00:02:16.239> i
take on this pal
well<00:02:21.680> i<00:02:21.760> mean<00:02:21.920> it's<00:02:22.080> fair<00:02:22.239> to<00:02:22.319> say<00:02:22.480> that<00:02:22.640> i
well i mean it's fair to say that i
think<00:02:22.800> there'd<00:02:22.879> be<00:02:23.040> some<00:02:23.200> people<00:02:23.440> in<00:02:23.599> bradford
people in many northern cities were
hoping<00:02:32.160> to<00:02:32.319> see<00:02:32.879> and<00:02:33.200> you<00:02:33.360> know<00:02:33.599> i<00:02:33.680> think<00:02:33.920> this
um
i<00:02:35.280> think<00:02:35.440> this<00:02:35.760> adds<00:02:36.080> to<00:02:36.640> a<00:02:36.720> move<00:02:36.959> we've<00:02:37.120> been
seeing where the government promises
leveling<00:02:38.800> up<00:02:39.040> but<00:02:39.200> when<00:02:39.360> when<00:02:39.519> we<00:02:39.680> actually
leveling up but when when we actually
look<00:02:40.000> at<00:02:40.080> the<00:02:40.160> details<00:02:40.720> do<00:02:40.879> we<00:02:40.959> actually<00:02:41.200> get
look at the details do we actually get
leveling<00:02:41.680> up<00:02:41.840> i<00:02:41.920> mean<00:02:42.480> in<00:02:42.560> the<00:02:42.720> clovis<00:02:43.120> crisis
million pounds during kobe
ordinary<00:02:50.959> people<00:02:51.680> 2.5<00:02:52.160> percent<00:02:52.560> extra<00:02:52.879> tax<00:02:53.200> on
ordinary people 2.5 percent extra tax on
your<00:02:53.360> national<00:02:53.680> insurance<00:02:54.640> and<00:02:54.879> now<00:02:55.120> when<00:02:55.280> it
your national insurance and now when it
comes<00:02:55.519> to<00:02:55.599> living<00:02:55.840> up<00:02:55.920> north<00:02:56.239> and<00:02:56.319> south
comes to living up north and south
does<00:02:57.760> the<00:02:57.840> north<00:02:58.080> get<00:02:58.159> the<00:02:58.239> railway<00:02:58.560> link<00:02:58.800> that
no but it does still get 96 billion
quicker<00:03:03.040> so<00:03:03.200> we<00:03:03.360> have<00:03:03.440> to<00:03:03.599> answer<00:03:04.000> that<00:03:04.239> i<00:03:04.480> i'm
quicker so we have to answer that i i'm
with<00:03:04.879> you<00:03:05.040> the<00:03:05.280> initial<00:03:05.680> response<00:03:06.159> is<00:03:06.319> oh<00:03:06.400> my
with you the initial response is oh my
god<00:03:07.280> political<00:03:08.159> hot<00:03:08.400> potato<00:03:09.040> he's<00:03:09.200> done<00:03:09.360> it
that he's investing 96 billion pounds in
trying<00:03:15.599> to<00:03:15.680> do<00:03:15.840> it<00:03:15.920> in<00:03:16.000> a<00:03:16.080> clever<00:03:16.480> way
interconnectivity and i think having
lived<00:03:19.519> in<00:03:19.760> in<00:03:19.920> the<00:03:20.000> north<00:03:20.239> for<00:03:20.400> 15<00:03:20.720> years<00:03:20.879> i
lived in in the north for 15 years i
think<00:03:21.120> he's<00:03:21.360> absolutely<00:03:21.920> right<00:03:22.400> spot<00:03:22.720> on<00:03:22.800> this
think he's absolutely right spot on this
obsession<00:03:23.360> with<00:03:23.519> getting<00:03:23.760> to<00:03:23.920> london<00:03:24.239> is<00:03:24.319> not
obsession with getting to london is not
a<00:03:24.640> massive<00:03:25.040> thing<00:03:25.360> you<00:03:25.519> want<00:03:25.599> to<00:03:25.680> get<00:03:25.840> across
a massive thing you want to get across
the<00:03:26.239> penins<00:03:26.720> you<00:03:26.799> want<00:03:26.879> to<00:03:26.959> be<00:03:27.040> able<00:03:27.200> to<00:03:27.280> get
the penins you want to be able to get
you<00:03:28.400> know<00:03:28.640> east<00:03:28.879> and<00:03:28.959> west<00:03:29.200> that's<00:03:29.440> an
of all the stuff i've heard today
benedict<00:03:34.080> absolutely<00:03:34.640> spot<00:03:35.040> on<00:03:35.360> but<00:03:35.519> the<00:03:35.680> fact
is gary i want i i think you know
the<00:03:39.280> boris<00:03:39.599> haters<00:03:40.000> will<00:03:40.159> jump<00:03:40.400> up<00:03:40.560> and<00:03:40.720> say
you you make a promise in a manifesto
and<00:03:49.920> things<00:03:50.239> change<00:03:50.799> i<00:03:50.879> think<00:03:51.040> the<00:03:51.200> message<00:03:51.519> is
some people could assume that he's let
them<00:03:54.640> down<00:03:55.040> but<00:03:55.200> i<00:03:55.360> do<00:03:55.519> think<00:03:55.680> they're<00:03:55.920> still
96 billion pounds is great you know and
it's<00:04:01.200> better<00:04:01.439> than<00:04:01.599> it<00:04:01.680> spent<00:04:02.000> than<00:04:02.080> not<00:04:02.239> spent
especially after this crisis we're
looking<00:04:04.959> at<00:04:05.040> a<00:04:05.120> long<00:04:05.360> slow<00:04:05.680> recovery<00:04:06.000> if<00:04:06.080> you
looking at a long slow recovery if you
look<00:04:06.319> at<00:04:06.400> financial<00:04:06.799> markets<00:04:07.519> we<00:04:07.680> need<00:04:07.840> money
look at financial markets we need money
spent<00:04:08.319> to<00:04:08.400> boost<00:04:08.560> the<00:04:08.720> economy<00:04:09.040> 96<00:04:09.360> billion
spent to boost the economy 96 billion
pounds<00:04:10.000> is<00:04:10.159> great<00:04:10.400> it<00:04:10.480> should<00:04:10.640> be<00:04:10.799> spent<00:04:11.120> it
pounds is great it should be spent it

lot<00:04:48.400> about<00:04:48.639> boris<00:04:48.960> johnson<00:04:49.280> and<00:04:49.360> this<00:04:49.520> sort<00:04:49.680> of
lot about boris johnson and this sort of
teflon<00:04:50.400> existence<00:04:50.880> whereby<00:04:51.280> he<00:04:51.440> seems<00:04:51.680> to<00:04:51.840> be
minister's career um
the<00:04:58.960> tory<00:04:59.680> 1922<00:05:00.720> back<00:05:00.960> bench<00:05:01.280> committee<00:05:01.919> is<00:05:02.320> is
he admitted yesterday boris johnson he
felt<00:05:07.520> he<00:05:07.600> crashed<00:05:08.000> the<00:05:08.160> car<00:05:08.720> there<00:05:09.039> are<00:05:09.199> people
felt he crashed the car there are people
saying<00:05:09.840> that<00:05:10.000> this<00:05:10.240> is<00:05:10.320> the<00:05:10.479> beginning<00:05:10.880> of<00:05:10.960> the
saying that this is the beginning of the
end<00:05:11.280> what's<00:05:11.520> your<00:05:11.680> take<00:05:11.919> on<00:05:12.000> that<00:05:12.160> gas
end what's your take on that gas
well<00:05:14.400> i<00:05:14.479> mean<00:05:14.639> obviously<00:05:15.039> i've<00:05:15.120> been<00:05:15.280> looking
what happened during the copied crisis
the<00:05:23.360> amount<00:05:23.520> of<00:05:23.520> money<00:05:23.759> made<00:05:23.919> by<00:05:24.320> super
the amount of money made by super
wealthy<00:05:24.960> people<00:05:25.360> that<00:05:25.680> in<00:05:25.840> itself<00:05:26.560> is<00:05:26.720> causing
wealthy people that in itself is causing
a<00:05:27.120> huge<00:05:27.280> concern<00:05:27.600> my<00:05:27.759> main<00:05:28.000> concern<00:05:28.479> here<00:05:29.120> is
a huge concern my main concern here is
we<00:05:29.840> have<00:05:30.000> a<00:05:30.080> chancellor<00:05:30.560> who<00:05:30.720> is<00:05:30.880> worth<00:05:31.120> an
his father-in-law is a billionaire yeah
and<00:05:38.720> we<00:05:38.960> have<00:05:39.120> billionaires<00:05:39.600> that<00:05:39.759> made<00:05:39.919> an
when government money is needed
do<00:05:43.919> they<00:05:44.160> tax<00:05:44.400> the<00:05:44.479> billionaires<00:05:44.960> who<00:05:45.039> made<00:05:45.280> an
really here is that
so<00:05:52.880> many<00:05:53.039> in<00:05:53.120> the<00:05:53.199> government<00:05:53.600> come<00:05:53.759> from<00:05:54.000> very
while ordinary people having their taxes
raised<00:06:02.400> if<00:06:02.479> that's<00:06:02.639> what<00:06:02.800> happens<00:06:03.600> it's<00:06:03.680> going
to be just like 2008 we're going to have
a<00:06:05.600> super<00:06:05.919> strong<00:06:06.240> recovery<00:06:06.880> for<00:06:07.039> the<00:06:07.199> super
a super strong recovery for the super
rich<00:06:08.000> and<00:06:08.160> a<00:06:08.240> super<00:06:08.639> weak<00:06:08.880> recovery<00:06:09.440> for<00:06:09.600> the
benedict what's your take
i<00:06:13.680> mean<00:06:13.840> it's<00:06:14.000> a<00:06:14.000> very<00:06:14.240> interesting<00:06:14.639> point<00:06:14.800> to
class middle middle and lower income
workers<00:06:20.960> you<00:06:21.039> know<00:06:21.199> that<00:06:21.440> is<00:06:21.520> now<00:06:21.680> the<00:06:21.840> tory
workers you know that is now the tory
base<00:06:22.400> that<00:06:22.479> is<00:06:22.560> what<00:06:22.720> the<00:06:22.800> tourists<00:06:23.120> are<00:06:23.280> sort
base that is what the tourists are sort
of<00:06:23.600> meaning<00:06:23.919> to<00:06:24.160> appeal<00:06:24.560> to<00:06:24.800> so<00:06:25.039> actually<00:06:25.280> it's
of meaning to appeal to so actually it's
not<00:06:25.919> it's<00:06:26.080> kind<00:06:26.240> of<00:06:26.319> an<00:06:26.400> important<00:06:26.800> point
not it's kind of an important point
especially<00:06:27.360> when<00:06:27.520> you<00:06:27.600> do<00:06:27.759> have<00:06:27.919> a<00:06:27.919> lot<00:06:28.080> of
tour mps in increasingly marginal seat
sources<00:06:30.720> that<00:06:30.800> were<00:06:30.880> only<00:06:31.120> just<00:06:31.600> one<00:06:31.840> from<00:06:32.000> the
sources that were only just one from the
labour<00:06:32.400> party<00:06:32.720> those<00:06:32.960> are<00:06:33.120> seats<00:06:33.440> that<00:06:33.600> could
labour party those are seats that could
be<00:06:34.160> up<00:06:34.639> at<00:06:34.800> the<00:06:34.960> next<00:06:35.199> general<00:06:35.520> election<00:06:36.000> the
be up at the next general election the
thing<00:06:36.400> for<00:06:36.560> me<00:06:36.800> is<00:06:37.440> boris<00:06:37.759> johnson<00:06:38.160> will<00:06:38.479> have
opponent is kierstarma that's the person
that<00:06:43.759> he<00:06:43.840> has<00:06:44.000> to<00:06:44.080> beat<00:06:44.319> on<00:06:44.400> paper
that he has to beat on paper
he<00:06:45.520> can<00:06:45.680> do<00:06:45.840> that<00:06:46.080> regardless<00:06:46.560> of<00:06:46.639> there<00:06:46.800> being
he can do that regardless of there being
a<00:06:47.360> sleaze<00:06:47.680> candle<00:06:47.919> i<00:06:48.000> think<00:06:48.080> there's<00:06:48.240> been
a sleaze candle i think there's been
polling<00:06:48.639> out<00:06:48.720> that<00:06:48.880> says<00:06:49.120> even<00:06:49.280> if<00:06:49.360> there<00:06:49.440> were
polling out that says even if there were
to<00:06:49.759> be<00:06:49.840> a<00:06:49.919> general<00:06:50.240> election<00:06:50.560> tomorrow<00:06:51.039> he
because people just don't trust the
labour<00:06:54.400> party<00:06:54.720> enough<00:06:55.039> well<00:06:55.199> they<00:06:55.280> don't<00:06:55.360> know
labour party enough well they don't know
what<00:06:55.599> they<00:06:55.759> stand<00:06:56.080> for<00:06:56.319> because<00:06:56.479> he's<00:06:56.639> never
the fear is that tipping point
not<00:07:02.800> so<00:07:02.960> much<00:07:03.199> about<00:07:03.440> kierstarma<00:07:04.080> it's<00:07:04.160> about
not so much about kierstarma it's about
his<00:07:04.479> own<00:07:04.639> backbench<00:07:05.120> mp<00:07:05.520> will<00:07:05.680> enough<00:07:06.000> of<00:07:06.080> them
seats because they're going to lose
those<00:07:10.000> votes<00:07:10.319> because<00:07:10.560> taxes<00:07:10.960> are<00:07:11.039> going<00:07:11.280> up
those votes because taxes are going up
on<00:07:11.759> their<00:07:11.919> voters<00:07:12.479> for<00:07:12.639> them<00:07:12.800> to<00:07:12.960> say<00:07:13.199> actually
on their voters for them to say actually
boris<00:07:14.400> johnson<00:07:14.720> might<00:07:14.880> win<00:07:15.039> the<00:07:15.120> next<00:07:15.360> general
boris johnson might win the next general
election<00:07:15.919> but<00:07:16.080> i<00:07:16.240> might<00:07:16.400> not<00:07:16.560> be<00:07:16.720> an<00:07:16.800> mp<00:07:17.120> and
the key point i don't think we're there
yet<00:07:20.639> because<00:07:20.880> i<00:07:20.960> don't<00:07:21.120> think<00:07:21.280> that<00:07:21.440> there<00:07:21.680> is
yet because i don't think that there is
a<00:07:22.400> candidate<00:07:23.039> yet<00:07:23.360> who<00:07:23.520> has<00:07:23.680> stuck<00:07:23.840> their<00:07:24.000> head
a candidate yet who has stuck their head
above<00:07:24.400> the<00:07:24.479> parapet<00:07:25.039> enough<00:07:25.759> uh<00:07:26.000> to<00:07:26.160> say<00:07:26.400> yes<00:07:27.039> i
everybody says that rishi sunak will be
the<00:07:30.240> next<00:07:30.560> leader<00:07:30.880> i<00:07:31.120> actually<00:07:31.360> don't<00:07:31.599> think
the next leader i actually don't think
he<00:07:32.000> will<00:07:32.479> i<00:07:32.639> think<00:07:32.880> that<00:07:33.039> rishi<00:07:33.520> sunak<00:07:34.240> will<00:07:34.479> be
and political history certainly on the
tory<00:07:39.919> side<00:07:40.319> is<00:07:40.560> littered<00:07:41.440> with<00:07:41.599> the<00:07:41.759> person
tory side is littered with the person
that<00:07:42.400> they<00:07:42.639> think<00:07:42.960> is<00:07:43.120> going<00:07:43.199> to<00:07:43.280> get<00:07:43.440> it
michael hesseltein
i<00:07:46.160> don't<00:07:46.319> know<00:07:46.479> look<00:07:46.720> loads<00:07:46.960> of<00:07:47.120> them<00:07:47.280> and
i don't know look loads of them and
cameron<00:07:48.240> came<00:07:48.479> from<00:07:48.639> nowhere<00:07:49.039> and<00:07:49.199> john<00:07:49.440> major
cameron came from nowhere and john major
came<00:07:50.160> from<00:07:50.319> nowhere<00:07:50.879> and<00:07:51.039> whether<00:07:51.360> it's<00:07:51.599> liz
came from nowhere and whether it's liz
truss<00:07:52.240> or<00:07:52.479> somebody<00:07:52.960> down<00:07:53.199> the<00:07:53.360> pecking<00:07:53.759> order
that's what i genuinely believe will
happen<00:07:56.319> but<00:07:56.479> i<00:07:56.639> also<00:07:56.960> yeah<00:07:57.199> i<00:07:57.360> have<00:07:57.520> to<00:07:57.599> say
happen but i also yeah i have to say
benedict<00:07:58.240> i'm<00:07:58.319> with<00:07:58.479> you<00:07:59.120> i<00:07:59.360> think<00:07:59.520> the<00:07:59.759> danger
benedict i'm with you i think the danger
to<00:08:00.400> boris<00:08:00.800> johnson<00:08:01.280> is<00:08:01.440> himself<00:08:02.400> i<00:08:02.560> think<00:08:02.800> that
to boris johnson is himself i think that
if<00:08:03.120> he<00:08:03.440> believes<00:08:04.319> forevermore<00:08:05.520> that<00:08:06.000> he<00:08:06.240> can
get through these things he'll get
bitten<00:08:08.560> on<00:08:08.639> the<00:08:08.720> backside<00:08:09.280> i<00:08:09.360> think<00:08:09.520> he<00:08:09.759> has<00:08:09.840> to
bitten on the backside i think he has to
be<00:08:10.160> wiser<00:08:10.560> and<00:08:10.639> smarter<00:08:11.360> final<00:08:11.599> thing<00:08:11.840> guys
be wiser and smarter final thing guys
today<00:08:12.400> and<00:08:12.560> this<00:08:12.720> is<00:08:12.800> something<00:08:13.120> i<00:08:13.280> talked
today and this is something i talked
about<00:08:13.759> just<00:08:13.919> now<00:08:14.560> uh<00:08:14.879> with<00:08:15.199> with<00:08:15.360> bill

bill<00:08:36.240> esther<00:08:36.560> jimmy<00:08:36.959> p<00:08:37.200> said<00:08:37.760> i<00:08:37.919> thought<00:08:38.159> we
bill esther jimmy p said i thought we
left<00:08:38.640> the<00:08:38.719> european<00:08:39.200> union<00:08:39.440> to<00:08:39.519> take<00:08:39.760> control
left the european union to take control
of<00:08:40.320> our<00:08:40.399> borders<00:08:40.719> why<00:08:40.880> don't<00:08:40.959> we<00:08:41.120> just<00:08:41.279> get
of our borders why don't we just get
boats<00:08:41.839> and<00:08:41.919> send<00:08:42.159> these<00:08:42.399> people<00:08:42.719> back<00:08:43.039> gary
stevenson what's your take you talk
about<00:08:45.279> wanting<00:08:45.680> the<00:08:45.839> people<00:08:46.160> of<00:08:46.240> this<00:08:46.480> country
about wanting the people of this country
to<00:08:47.200> be<00:08:47.360> leveled<00:08:47.839> up<00:08:48.480> should<00:08:48.720> we<00:08:48.880> be
to be leveled up should we be
taking<00:08:50.080> more<00:08:50.320> people<00:08:50.720> in<00:08:50.800> that<00:08:50.959> we<00:08:51.120> can<00:08:51.279> when
taking more people in that we can when
we<00:08:51.519> can't<00:08:51.760> afford<00:08:52.080> our<00:08:52.240> own<00:08:52.399> people<00:08:52.640> or<00:08:52.800> do<00:08:52.959> you
we can't afford our own people or do you
think<00:08:53.200> that<00:08:53.360> we<00:08:53.519> should<00:08:53.920> show<00:08:54.480> a<00:08:54.720> strong<00:08:55.040> arm
think that we should show a strong arm
of<00:08:55.440> the<00:08:55.600> law<00:08:56.000> and<00:08:56.160> look<00:08:56.399> after<00:08:56.800> our<00:08:56.959> own<00:08:57.279> first
of course we need to look after our own
but<00:09:00.480> when<00:09:00.640> i<00:09:00.720> saw<00:09:00.880> we<00:09:00.959> were<00:09:01.040> going<00:09:01.120> to<00:09:01.200> talk
but when i saw we were going to talk
about<00:09:01.600> this<00:09:02.240> i<00:09:02.320> had<00:09:02.480> to<00:09:02.560> look<00:09:02.800> and<00:09:02.959> research
basically only one country that has done
this<00:09:08.800> before<00:09:09.040> which<00:09:09.279> is<00:09:09.360> australia<00:09:10.000> and<00:09:10.080> look
this before which is australia and look
what<00:09:10.399> happened<00:09:10.720> they<00:09:10.880> went<00:09:11.120> from<00:09:11.360> 20<00:09:11.839> 000
what happened they went from 20 000
immigrants<00:09:12.720> in<00:09:12.880> one<00:09:13.040> year<00:09:13.279> to<00:09:13.440> 160.<00:09:14.399> i'm<00:09:14.560> not
immigrants in one year to 160. i'm not
sticking<00:09:15.120> up<00:09:15.200> for<00:09:15.360> it<00:09:15.680> i'm<00:09:15.839> giving<00:09:16.160> you<00:09:16.320> the
sticking up for it i'm giving you the
facts<00:09:16.959> people<00:09:17.279> will<00:09:17.519> point<00:09:17.760> to<00:09:17.920> that<00:09:18.160> and<00:09:18.240> go
illegal and said that physical physical
and<00:09:40.399> sexual<00:09:40.720> violence<00:09:41.279> from<00:09:41.440> the<00:09:41.600> guards<00:09:42.000> was
and sexual violence from the guards was
rife<00:09:42.560> okay<00:09:42.800> look<00:09:43.120> i'm<00:09:43.360> a<00:09:43.440> british<00:09:43.760> person<00:09:44.399> i
rife okay look i'm a british person i
don't<00:09:44.720> want<00:09:44.880> to<00:09:44.959> camps<00:09:45.279> up<00:09:45.360> in<00:09:45.519> albania<00:09:46.240> where
don't want to camps up in albania where
we<00:09:46.560> pay<00:09:46.800> and<00:09:46.880> by<00:09:47.040> the<00:09:47.120> way<00:09:47.200> that<00:09:47.519> came<00:09:47.760> in
massively over budget three million
pound<00:09:49.519> per<00:09:49.680> person<00:09:50.000> it<00:09:50.080> cost<00:09:50.640> to<00:09:50.800> have
physical and sexual violence
under<00:09:53.200> the<00:09:53.279> australian<00:09:53.760> flag<00:09:54.240> is<00:09:54.320> that<00:09:54.480> what
under the australian flag is that what
you<00:09:54.640> want<00:09:54.800> under<00:09:54.959> the<00:09:55.040> british<00:09:55.279> flag<00:09:55.440> in
that's a really interesting point
bennett<00:10:02.560> another<00:10:02.800> great<00:10:03.120> take<00:10:03.360> on<00:10:03.440> it<00:10:03.600> we
bennett another great take on it we
hadn't<00:10:03.920> had<00:10:04.000> that<00:10:04.160> already<00:10:04.480> that's<00:10:04.720> a<00:10:04.800> great
hadn't had that already that's a great
take<00:10:05.360> isn't<00:10:05.600> it<00:10:05.680> from<00:10:05.920> gary<00:10:06.399> to<00:10:06.560> be<00:10:06.720> fair<00:10:06.959> well
absolutely absolutely and the other
thing<00:10:08.959> i<00:10:09.040> think<00:10:09.279> is<00:10:09.440> that<00:10:09.600> we<00:10:09.760> have<00:10:09.920> to
only country really that those
immigrants<00:10:14.720> were<00:10:14.880> aiming<00:10:15.200> to<00:10:15.279> go<00:10:15.519> for<00:10:16.160> whereas
actually in europe there are many
alternatives<00:10:18.640> that<00:10:18.800> people<00:10:19.040> can<00:10:19.279> go<00:10:19.440> to<00:10:19.680> why
alternatives that people can go to why
do<00:10:20.000> they<00:10:20.240> oh<00:10:20.560> right<00:10:20.959> this<00:10:21.440> please<00:10:21.839> forgive<00:10:22.160> me
do they oh right this please forgive me
i'm<00:10:22.399> not<00:10:22.560> trying<00:10:22.720> to<00:10:22.720> offend<00:10:22.959> anybody<00:10:23.839> bill
i'm not trying to offend anybody bill
etheridge<00:10:24.480> made<00:10:24.640> a<00:10:24.720> really<00:10:24.880> good<00:10:25.040> point<00:10:25.279> he
etheridge made a really good point he
said<00:10:25.760> i<00:10:25.920> have<00:10:26.160> sympathy<00:10:26.640> with<00:10:26.800> people<00:10:27.360> uh
leaving war-torn countries but they're
all<00:10:29.600> coming<00:10:29.839> from<00:10:30.079> france<00:10:30.480> why<00:10:30.640> don't<00:10:30.800> they
all coming from france why don't they
stay<00:10:31.200> in<00:10:31.279> france<00:10:32.000> well<00:10:32.160> there<00:10:32.320> are<00:10:32.399> lots<00:10:32.640> of
different reasons some of them already
have<00:10:34.079> family<00:10:34.320> here<00:10:34.480> some<00:10:34.640> of<00:10:34.720> them<00:10:34.880> speak
english rather than french you know
there<00:10:36.399> are<00:10:36.480> lots<00:10:36.720> of<00:10:36.800> different<00:10:37.040> reasons<00:10:37.279> why
there are lots of different reasons why
but<00:10:37.680> actually<00:10:37.839> the<00:10:38.000> key<00:10:38.240> thing<00:10:38.480> here<00:10:38.720> is<00:10:38.880> not
but actually the key thing here is not
so<00:10:39.200> much<00:10:39.440> that<00:10:39.519> there<00:10:39.680> are<00:10:39.760> lots<00:10:40.000> i'm<00:10:40.079> trying
so much that there are lots i'm trying
to<00:10:40.320> come<00:10:40.480> to<00:10:40.560> the<00:10:40.640> uk<00:10:41.040> because<00:10:41.279> there<00:10:41.519> are<00:10:41.600> many
to come to the uk because there are many
tens<00:10:42.079> of<00:10:42.160> thousands<00:10:42.560> in<00:10:42.720> france<00:10:42.959> there<00:10:43.120> are
hundreds of thousands of immigrants in
germany<00:10:45.839> in<00:10:46.240> the<00:10:46.399> nordic<00:10:46.800> countries<00:10:47.200> in<00:10:47.279> spain
germany in the nordic countries in spain
and<00:10:47.760> italy<00:10:48.079> and<00:10:48.480> my<00:10:48.720> thing<00:10:48.880> that<00:10:49.040> i<00:10:49.200> think<00:10:49.440> is
and italy and my thing that i think is
why<00:10:49.920> this<00:10:50.160> is<00:10:50.240> very<00:10:50.480> unlikely<00:10:50.959> is<00:10:51.360> let's<00:10:51.600> say
why this is very unlikely is let's say
we<00:10:51.920> strike<00:10:52.399> an<00:10:52.560> agreement<00:10:52.880> with<00:10:53.040> albania<00:10:53.760> how
we strike an agreement with albania how
long<00:10:54.240> is<00:10:54.399> it<00:10:54.480> before<00:10:54.800> germany<00:10:55.360> or<00:10:55.519> denmark<00:10:56.079> or
long is it before germany or denmark or
italy<00:10:56.560> then<00:10:56.720> strike<00:10:57.040> their<00:10:57.279> own<00:10:57.360> deal<00:10:57.600> with
somebody else and another country with
another<00:10:59.680> and<00:10:59.839> then<00:11:00.160> you<00:11:00.320> get<00:11:01.040> it<00:11:01.200> becomes<00:11:01.519> more
another and then you get it becomes more
of<00:11:01.839> a<00:11:01.920> phenomenon<00:11:02.320> because<00:11:02.560> there<00:11:02.720> are<00:11:02.800> far
of a phenomenon because there are far
more<00:11:03.200> countries<00:11:03.519> that<00:11:03.680> can<00:11:03.839> do<00:11:04.000> it<00:11:04.079> here
more countries that can do it here
whereas<00:11:04.720> if<00:11:04.800> you're<00:11:04.959> just<00:11:05.200> australia<00:11:05.680> and<00:11:05.760> you
whereas if you're just australia and you
have<00:11:06.000> papua<00:11:06.240> new<00:11:06.320> guinea<00:11:06.560> there's<00:11:06.720> just<00:11:06.959> one
have papua new guinea there's just one
opportunity<00:11:07.600> for<00:11:07.760> you<00:11:07.920> to<00:11:08.000> do<00:11:08.160> that<00:11:08.399> and<00:11:08.480> it's
opportunity for you to do that and it's
a<00:11:08.720> one-off<00:11:09.040> thing<00:11:09.440> whereas<00:11:09.760> there<00:11:10.000> are<00:11:10.320> quite
literally very many countries in europe
that<00:11:12.320> would<00:11:12.480> like<00:11:12.640> to<00:11:12.720> strike<00:11:12.880> these<00:11:13.040> sorts<00:11:13.279> of
that would like to strike these sorts of
deals<00:11:14.160> and<00:11:14.320> then<00:11:14.480> you<00:11:14.640> will<00:11:14.720> ultimately<00:11:15.040> get<00:11:15.200> a
situation where countries like albania
can<00:11:17.440> begin<00:11:17.920> to<00:11:18.079> sort<00:11:18.240> of<00:11:18.399> as<00:11:18.640> it<00:11:18.720> were<00:11:18.959> take<00:11:19.200> the
highest bids from different countries
yeah<00:11:21.200> and<00:11:21.360> then<00:11:21.519> it<00:11:21.600> becomes<00:11:21.920> a<00:11:22.000> lot<00:11:22.160> more<00:11:22.399> you
yeah and then it becomes a lot more you
know<00:11:22.640> then<00:11:22.800> it<00:11:22.880> becomes<00:11:23.040> a<00:11:23.200> sort<00:11:23.279> of<00:11:23.360> a<00:11:23.440> rush<00:11:23.600> to
know then it becomes a sort of a rush to
the bottom<00:11:24.079> say<00:11:24.320> well<00:11:24.480> how<00:11:24.640> much<00:11:24.800> money<00:11:25.040> will
the bottom say well how much money will
you<00:11:25.440> offer<00:11:25.760> us<00:11:26.000> rather<00:11:26.240> than<00:11:26.320> these<00:11:26.560> people<00:11:26.880> to
you offer us rather than these people to
take<00:11:27.279> all<00:11:27.440> of<00:11:27.519> your<00:11:27.680> mindsets<00:11:28.079> it<00:11:28.160> becomes<00:11:28.560> an
auction of humanity absolutely yeah and
it's<00:11:31.600> not<00:11:31.760> what<00:11:31.920> we<00:11:32.079> want<00:11:32.480> ultimately<00:11:32.959> guys<00:11:33.120> i
