Local TV

Do you feel enough is being done to deal with small boat crossings and could the way Labour handles immigration influence how you vote at the next election?

00:00I think it's a bit more tricky than saying stop the boats.

00:03There's more of a national policies and stuff,

00:06because we're dealing with also France and other neighbours around,

00:09also helping us out with our borders.

00:11I think it is a concern for many people about securing our borders

00:16and making sure that the people who do come over here on boats,

00:19that we have an idea who they are.

00:21I don't understand why the rate of immigration has to be.

00:25Where do the numbers come from? Who decided?

00:28Why do we have to accept this? Who says?

00:31When Faraj can more or less openly state that he would stop it,

00:35there must be a point then at which he knows it could have been stopped.

00:41Oh, I'd love to stop hearing about small boats

00:44and start hearing about taxing billionaires, personally.

00:48Don't know about you.

00:49Yeah, no, I agree. I think it could affect the way I vote.

00:51There's a certain level of inhumanity about it, I think,

00:54when we're demonising these people just as small boats

00:57rather than actually talking about it.

00:59I think that could affect the way I vote.
