[@mashiaanjum6601]

The problem is he mentioned only bad thing about Bangladesh. Are you really saying that in Britain Bangladeshis don’t contribute at all??? If you see the amount of people of Bangladeshi heritage or immigrants who are working and paying tax is huge. British Bangladeshis are more educated than white brits. And all the international students come here pay nearly double the amount of home tuition fee which is a huge revenue for UK. On top of that these immigrants don’t have access to free NHS despite having to pay tax and NI and and and are not allowed to claim benefit. So you decided to cherrypick the bad one out of many many good things that Bangladeshis bring and do for UK. You are showing true appreciation for this community 👏👏👏

[@MelaniaRose]

Sorry disagree. How are Bangladeshi more educated than whites ? Can you prove it ? International students have a bad wrap for poor English skills and working instead of studying.

[@timg1246]

It matters because there are thousand upon thousand Bangkadeshi immigrants, their children and grandchildren who have utterly failed to integrate.

[@ehnowthen]

Starmer is just doing whatever his globalist maters tell him to.

[@ds1868]

​@@timg1246that's because they don't want to integrate. They want to squeeze Britain dry through self entitlement and s seething resentment of the British Empire. And when they need to run, they have the other passport. Immigration to the UK has been a total failure from every angle you care to mention.

[@AH--173]

Because their votes matter.

[@BengalLancer]

Utterly failed to integrate? Look at Pakistani families who bring in other pakistanis to marry up their daughters. Look at Indian families who's third generation still has an accent. Where did you find that amongst the Bangladeshi community? Who are openly marrying British white regardless of race and religion. Who go against their own community unlike the British Pakistanis or Indians... You better get your facts straight. Your local Old Bengali uncle is not the main face of British Bengali community. ​@@timg1246

[@muhammadkhan7051]

No GB News, he's talking about small boats and Rwanda. Bangladeshis don't come on small boats nor do they stay in hotels. They come on student visas and as asylum seekers- both of which are legal. So to randomly mention Bengalis not once but at least twice on two different occasions with Ashworth saying the same stuff, shows that this man is full of crap.

[@phenn6376]

Not a slip of the tongue, as. John Ashworth also mentioned Bangladesh in a similar interview on tv yesterday. Perhaps thats the only country they can both think will take back asylum seekers. Didnt seem to think about Syria,Afghanistan, Somalia etc. i wonder why? Knows the legal community wouldnt allow it?

[@raisaadi7865]

They don’t come UK in asylum category. Check home office data. If you want them to stop coming into UK then first stop your greedy government, Your university agents as they make significant money by bringing people from there

[@EV-EV-EV]

As a Bangladeshi, they're running from a shithole lol But it is safe and overall you can get by, but it's a shithole nevertheless

[@caba3995]

Because it's poor and impoverished due to over population but no one is seeking 'asylum' and running away that's hyper bole. It's also built around swampy land so it has a lot of climate problems. And hence there is climate migration. That's why they are migrating. They are not seeking asylum. It's mostly eco migrants like Punjabis who go to canada they also can't do what you said. Bangladeshis live far away they can only come via air. And do you seriously expect them to go to France and get a french visa. And more over who the hell who has to flee because he doesn't have enough money to get a residence permit, have a sufficient amount of money to go to France by taking a flight and get a french visa. Nothing that you said adds up. The only way this "could" happen is overstaying tourist visas but this doesn't usually result in asylum claims this usually leads to deportation and Bengalis cannot legally claim asylum anyway.

[@SosVids113]

Those people are going legally and those who goes to UK are 100% good people because good peoples doesn't want to stay in Bangladesh....and remember one thing they're going to UK after processing many steps not in any easy way
