00:00There is no doubt that there is a problem with immigration in the minds of many people,
00:08particularly illegal immigration. Now, of course, what people tend to regard this as
00:12being is people on boats, but however people have got here, I mean, there was a report
00:15just to say that 1 in 12 Londoners, now London's a big capital, we're talking many millions
00:21of people, so that's a lot of people who are, dare I say, illegal immigrants. Now, of course,
00:27the consequence of that is that they're not allowed to work, they don't pay into the system,
00:33and depending upon their circumstances, maybe they're sort of being kept. Some of them just
00:37sort of disappear into the system, of course, if they sort of manage to avoid being caught
00:40in the first place. So it's a problem because, of course, you then have to have housing for
00:45these people to sort of live in, and of course what you then have is probably sort of people
00:50being concentrated in certain areas. So there's a whole sort of set of issues that sort of
00:55put sort of pressure upon society, but of course we have to sort of consider the human
01:00rights of such people, but of course those who sort of pay into the system sort of regard
01:05this as being somehow wasted money, if you like, or there's a whole sort of controversies
01:11around this. How to deal with this is the big problem, how are you going to extract
01:16these people, and I don't sort of see any easy answer to that, but I don't see a sort
01:19of problem that's going to go away very easily, and this is, let's face it, it's been occupying
01:24sort of governments for the last 20 or so years, and probably longer. So, big problem,
01:28and I think it's going to continue to be a big problem, and will occupy the sort of the
01:33elections when they sort of take place in probably a few more years' time. It'll become
01:36sort of a major issue then, and could determine sort of the outcome of the next election.
01:40Nigel Farage is a sort of acute operator in so far as, of course, he will sort of see
01:45the opportunities, and dare I say it, he will have seen what's happened in America, that
01:50Trump has made the sort of the great renaissance. Now, whatever the sort of, you may sort of
01:55believe about the issue, Farage is going to use that to his own advantage.
