Transcript
00:00So Charles, yes, dual nationals should be stripped of their British citizenship and they should be
00:04deported with no exceptions. We don't want these people in our country. If they have citizenship
00:10of another country, then they should be deported and their British citizenship should be removed.
00:16No ifs, no buts. It should just happen. On your second point, if a country, whether it's Pakistan
00:21or anywhere else, refuses to take back their own nationals, either people who are here illegally
00:26in the first place, or people convicted of criminal offences, then we should, as Kemi said,
00:31use visa sanctions to compel them to take back their own citizens and indeed look at suspending
00:37overseas aid. We as the United Kingdom take back our citizens if they're convicted of a criminal
00:42offence overseas. It is only reasonable to expect other countries to do the same thing. And we
00:47legislated, in fact, in government to create a power to use visa sanctions. And in cases like this,
00:52those should definitely be used. On your third question, no, I don't think the government
00:57should hand over dissidents as some kind of quid pro quo. If someone is likely to be politically
01:03persecuted, then it's reasonable that we provide them with protection. There shouldn't be some sort
01:09of horse trade. Countries like Pakistan should take back their own nationals where required,
01:14including if they've committed a criminal offence without some kind of horse trade.
01:22I hope for you to do this while you areammy.com and I think it's a great job. Thank you very much
01:24little bit too. And then you are one of the most important things to do. Here are some
01:25of the most examples in South Africa. So, I think it's a good thing. You are going to try to
01:26make some people you don't have to make a decision. You are one of the most important things.
01:27And you are going to have to find out how they can feel, you are going to be in
01:34a way, and they are going to be in a place that background. And then you are going to be able to do
01:37in a way toал your own country. And I think it's a great job, you are going to be a lot of
01:39other people who are going to win this. And I think it's a great job that is a great one of the most important
