Ep 2: Can we fix it? (Answering your questions)

Right, immigration.

Brilliant, okay.

So that's quite a fat one.

I think that's a whole episode worthy, to be honest.

We covered the last episode as well, but we can quickly...

We can go through some quick bits.

Yeah, we'll go through...

I think...

That's a good starting argument.

Okay, well, because we said that I start off with this.

I think...

All right, we'll cover asylum and refugees and things like this.

So...

A massive hot topic right now in the UK is asylum seeking and refugees and people calling this illegal migration, et cetera, et cetera, right? And I don't know if you've heard any rhetoric like in people you know, anti-refugee, anti-migrant, but people just seem to be banging on about refugees specifically.

So obviously we're just going to distinguish sort of these terms because a lot of what people like Farage do, they kind of muddy the waters a bit.

But what's the difference between a migrant, a refugee, asylum seeker, someone on a visa, et cetera, et cetera? Well, an asylum seeker is obviously someone fleeing conflict, trying to get to a safe country, normally by any means they can, if that's on a boat or whatever, to seek asylum and be granted asylum in that country so they can be safe.

right and these people aren't illegal under international law these people are very much you know it's a right to seek refuge it's a right to be a refugee and once they're granted asylum they become a refugee if they're granted asylum in that country and You know, why do you think then that people perceive it as such a problem in the UK? Why do people think there's such a problem?

Scapegoating.

Scapegoating.

I think when you talk to people on the right, they have two scapegoats for the problems.

One is the government, which I think is a more worthy scapegoat.

It's not just the right.

Everybody scapegoats Keir Starmer and the Labour government.

I think that's more...

It's reasonable a lot of the time.
